  13. I tried to make your red velvet cupcakes tonight and they turned out like oily, cornbread muffins. I followed the recipe to the letter, however, they still fell and looked like little craters, or small donuts please help

  14. Hi Lindsey!
    That is so weird I’ve never had anyone have a problem with that recipe. The only thing I can think of is maybe you didn’t cook them long enough or the oven temperature wasn’t right. Sometimes ovens have a mind of their own and don’t preheat to the right temperature. I’m so sorry they didn’t work! Red velvet in general is a very very moist cake but it shouldn’t have come out oily. Try cooking them at a higher temp for a little longer and see if that works out. Sorry!

  20. Dear Blakely

    I came to you through YouTube, from the first moment I saw you, I am very enthusiastic, smile on your face, and explain simple and easy preparation of recipes are wonderful, I’m a religious Jew so many things I can not eat (such as shrimp, pork, or beef and milk together) but a lot of recipes your prepared and went really good and special …

    Blakely … I wanted to tell you I see you during a difficult period in my life (everyone has the moment)
    And really made me calm and pleasant, and I wanted to say thank you …!
    God will give you what you attract to you and you will have much happiness and joy in your life

  21. Dear Blakely

    Thanks for the email from you and pleasant words you wrote, I was delighted to read it, as I said the special person inside and out, good heart and your tunes revolve you, sorry I’m a little sappy but this is my feeling.
    You really do not need to do a video for me, keep what you’re doing and I have no doubt you will go far, you deserve it!
    If you ever feel a bit empty … Remember you’re a good person and able to give the best that more people in the world … (enough to see how you cook meat such love your father It makes me inspired ..)
    I apologize again if I get too personal … but I wish you have a happy and pleased comes to you …
    Appreciate you and are happy you will succeed, and of course we will continue to watch your video

  22. Hello Blakely! 🙂
    I really enjoy cooking in a slow cooker,
    My Crock pot is my favorite! Im retired now
    And looking forward to learning how to cook!
    Can you suggest some tips for good crock pot meals?

  23. Hi Ron!
    Thank you so much for taking the time to write. I look forward to helping you learn how to cook! Want to hear something crazy? (cue the dramatic music) I have never used a crock pot before! I know.. and I call myself a cook. One day I’ll cave and get one. Until that day comes I don’t have a crock pot recipe to help you out. :-/ I do have other great recipes though! Sorry! Happy cooking 🙂

    xo,
    Blakely

  24. Hi Blakely,

    I am a mother of tween daughters. No one in my family is a picky eater, which is great! The problem I’m having is that I have to watch EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth (weight issues…that I’m beating!! 🙂 I was wondering if you have more chicken recipes that are creative but healthy. (low-carb) I’m tired of old boring, bar-b-q chicken, crock pot chicken…etc. Hope you can help!! Thanks
    ~Amy~

    On your cuban pork, do you add the onions and garlic drippings that was in the bottom of your roasting pan to the finished shredded pork also?

  27. i want the shrimp boil recipe,,,and where can i get a pot like yours you cooked it in???what size is the pot also ,,,,thanks

    • Hi Nick! I get this question all the time. I got them randomly at Home Goods like 8 years ago. I’m not even sure what the brand is. I’m sorry I can’t help you out!

    • Hi Liz!! I’m so glad you like them! I use an Olympus OM-D EM-5 Mark II which is an amazing camera. Thank you for watching 🙂

  28. Made your vegan chocolate chip merengue cookies on Father’s Day. They were absolutely delicious!! Everyone gobled them up.

  29. Hi Blakely I just made your peach bread recipe, yet was not certain when to include sour cream as noted in ingredients but not directions I improvised and just added it along with other wet ingredients Final product was a bit more pudding than bread like

    • Hi Debi! So sorry!! I just realized I didn’t write the sour cream in the recipe. I just corrected it. But you were correct about when to put it in- it goes with the wet ingredients. This bread is definitely a lot more moist due to the peaches, but it shouldn’t be like a pudding. Maybe next time try baking it a little longer. Hope this helps!

  30. Hi Blakely,

    I can’t find your Creamed Spinach recipe from your YouTube video “Creamed Video” Aug 28, 2010.

  31. Hi from South Mississippi!
    I just found you on Rumble and love those videos, and now I love these, too! I’m an *avid* fan of cooking shows, and had been quite disappointed in myself for not having developed a drive for cooking in spite of it. But since watching you, I’ve become inspired! The simple yet gourmet recipes are very intriguing. Your instructions and presentations are at the perfect speed and depth of information to grow confidence! Watching how to better handle food, how to move around during the cooking process, and riffing within recipes has been incredibly instructional. Thank you for what you do, thank you for sparking a deeper interest, and thank you for inspiring me to be a better cook! Cheers!

    • Hi Shelby!! Wow what an utterly touching comment!! You are so kind to write and I’m so happy that my videos have sparked the inner chef in you! I can’t wait to hear everything you make. Thank you for making my day! xx Blakely
