  • Yummy! I will be making this for my sister and me. I’m 72 and she’s 63 so this will be perfect but we’ll still probably have leftovers. Yes!!!!

    I would love to see a one/two person version of the very cheesy baked Tex/Mex style enchiladas (beef, chicken, or cheese) that are smothered in chili sauce and topped with cheese, especially if there is a way to freeze them either before or after baking.

    I'm a single person. I used to cook for my parents and siblings but after getting sick I have to eat a specific diet so I just cook for myself now. I don't have a specific recipe request but I'd be happy to see whatever you cook!🙂

    Yes, more recipes for 2! My daughter and 2 grand daughters moved out a little while ago. I'm used to cooking for a family of 5. Now it is just me and my husband. This recipe will be great for us both. Thank You!
  • @lettiegrant9447
    You're just the best cook! And what I really appreciate is that we feel like we're invited into your kitchen watching you cook. That's how welcome I feel and I know I'm not alone. Thanks so much.🤗

    You are BRILLIANT! What a difference you make with your recipes for 1 - 2. I might add that you are one of the only YouTube creators that I find tolerable to watch cook. I had a restaurant for 40 years and it was very successful in our small town. We left a legacy of 3 other restaurants with the same recipes and menu we started with in 1967. Good luck in whatever your goal in your endeavors are. You’re definitely one of a kind.

    That looks absolutely delicious! I had no idea pasta was so easy if you don't have gadgets!!
  • This has to be one of favorite recipes from you, can't wait to try it next week (after a trip to grocery, no cheese in fridge) I'd love to see any other recipes for 1 or 2. I'm a widow and live alone, I find myself cooking like the family is here and then have left overs that I get tired of before they are gone. Thank you.
  • Thank you, Angelica. I never made fresh pasta. You make it look so simple and easy and quick! ❤
  • @joanderson2055
    I hadn't thought of using bechamel! I'll be making this soon
  • @MountainBather
