[ELLAGANCE410]

Patiently waiting to see your Thanksgiving with the family video.

[PurposedD]

I want to thank you for making cooking videos...I am a visual learner and it was so easy to follow along with your recipes. You have sparked in me that was always there. I enjoyed cooking. It was ALOT of work but, when I saw my family enjoying what was made.. all I could do was smile. You have been bookmarked and I plan on trying out other recipes in the very near future. So again,

THANK U MONIQUE.....

Blessings,

PurposedD aka Dana M.

[stephbabylove23]

Hey quick question I'm looking for cajun seasoning for my turkey brine and I can't find it!! Where do you get it from or what can I substitute it for?????

[divascancook]

@stephbabylove23 I get it from Target, Walmart, Harris Teeter...any major grocery store should have it over in the spice aisle.

[THEWIFEYNUM1]

[divascancook]

@THEWIFEYNUM1 yep I sure do! it's on the blog

[secretele]

Hi Diva!!!! Quick question. I bought my first turkey from the store. When I got home I noticed the turkey says its been injected. Will I be able to still use the buttlermilk brine or will it make it too salty???

[divascancook]

@secretele If the meat is already enhance then I wouldn't brine it.

[secretele]

@divascancook awwww darn it!! Okay thank you

[luvingg]

How in the world do you wear a wig and... have it NOT look like a wig?!? If I wore a wig, I'd look like an animal was hugging my head. Seriously, it amazes me that you can see your hair line and part... and you're wearing a wig?!??

[memphislily1]

Thank you, thank you! My boyfriend & I were contemplating on a Thanksgiving menu and wanted new ideas besides our traditional. This was helpful ;-)

[lMissC3]

imagine having all of these foods during thanksgiving!! Yumm it'l be a buffet anyone going to attempt it? hehe

[whimisicalbliss]

do you have a recipe for string beans with mini potatoes and/or bacon. That looks so yummy. I can't wait to try some of your recipes!

[retta1960]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOURS ALSO!! And thanks for the heads up on the "shopping carts", boy you sure are right, it is a jungle in the grocery store. You have helped me with some great ideas for this years Thanksgiving. Let us know if you got some more "goodies" for us for Christmas, I know you have a great menu lined up. Greetings from South Carolina!!!!

[Januaryo12]

Hey diva. If I were to make up the pie crust in advanced how long can it stay in the fridge. I just put a sweet potato Thanksgiving day test pie in the oven. I would like to make up all my crust for Thanksgiving since I have all my ingredients out. Thanks

[divascancook]

@Januaryo12 I usually store them in the fridge for no more than a day. Be careful to wrap it really well because for some reason pie crusts (or at least this one) will take on that "fridge/ freezer taste" quickly. If I need to keep it longer I put it in the freezer.

[tinasunshine100]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Monique! SN: your hair and skin look great!...what are you doing?... :)

[divascancook]

@tinasunshine100 thank you hun! Happy thanksgiving to you and yours!! I've got an updated skin care reg coming up.

[lisakat2011]

your are so sweet and your awesome.. !!! i love watching your videos and your recipes are great !!! keep up the great work !!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ! much love , your friend in florida , lisa

[annettemint]

When you've been cooking for a while, it's hard to come up with new recipes but I went out side the box this year. Here is my Thanksgiving menu: stuffed cornish hens, creamed spinach, roasted vegetable melody, southern dressing, cranberry sauce, hot water cornbread, individual pecan pies, and buttermilk pie. Love your recipe ideas diva!!

[Mzgtnycgal]

Does it matter if you use a fresh turkey or frozen turkey? Would you recommend washing the turkey first with salt water before putting it in the buttermilk brine? Thank you. This is my first time cooking a turkey for my family. Have a blessed thanksgiving!!!

[divascancook]

@Mzgtnycgal I usually buy fresh, but frozen works great. The turkey should be thawed in the refrigerator completely before brining it. I don't wash mine with salt water.

[misssweetbabee]

how many servings does the southern style mac and cheese serve? I have party to attend and wanted to take this dish

[divascancook]

@misssweetbabee 5-7

[brnize1969]

hey monique...i will be using a lot of your recipes for this thanksgiving...your potato salad with my spin on it already was a hit....thank you so much girlie...have a great thanksgiving at grandma's house.

[elbacooks4u]

Hello Monique, I would like to wish you a blessed Thanksgiving Day Holiday and a safe trip to grandma's house.

God Bless,

Elba

[iRepASavior]

I will be following the recipes for oven roasted corn on the cob, and the Chicken and Vegetables....yay!!! Thanks for the menu ideas.

[ayagrant]

For your oatmeal cookies you said to purée the raisins. Can I use raisins mixed with baby food prunes? If so, how much is comparable?

[divascancook]

@ayagrant never tried it with prunes but it should work just fine. The combined raisin-prune mixture should be 1/2 cup.

[GregJLuft]

I am going to make the southern baked candied yams and take them to my friends place for thanksgiving.

[isrealsgirl]

Do u have a recipe for bread pudding? My grandma use to make whn I was young but she has alheimers(?Spelling) now and doesnt remember the recipe.={ I wld love to make it for my children....Thanx and I love ur channel.... This will be my first Thanksgiving cooking, Thanx 2u!!!! Mauh.....

[divascancook]

@isrealsgirl My grandmother use to make it growing up. I've never made it. I'll get her recipe when I go back home.

[femalephantomdimes5]

Dang, now I'm craving some jalapeno poppers and sweet potato...lol, I'm gonna have to add this to my thanksgiving menu!

[ShaunieceCooks]

You look so comfortable! Are you in your PJs? LOL?

Anywho This is just what I need! I was planning out my menu last night! This looks very delicious! Mrs. Monique, would you happen to have a recipe for corn pudding or spoon bread? I really wanted to make that.... Thanks!

[divascancook]

@ShaunieceCooks lol girl I watched movies and ate that entire day! I live for the weekends!! I don't have a corn pudding recipe but I know someone who make the BEST corn pudding. I'll see if I can get her to come off the recipe. Oh and Imma need for you to stop calling me "Mrs. Monique" LOL Dang Shauniece you making me feel so old!

[ShaunieceCooks]

@divascancook I love weekends too! Please let me know if you can get that recipe, its one of my fave! LOL Sorry about that! It's only out of respect. Please let me know what you would like for me to call you, I don't want to disrespect you or make you feel old 

[divascancook]
