HEY SIS, EAT THIS PODCAST: SWEET SISTERS AND SOUTHERN COMFORT WITH MARY ALLYSON & ANNABELLE

S3, Ep 10: Sweet Sisters and Southern Comfort with Mary Allyson & Annabelle


In this week’s episode of "Hey Sis, Eat This," hosts Whitney and Courtney sit down with the “sweetest” YouTube Cake Queen Mary Allyson Martin and her sister Annabelle Jenkins, a healthcare hero from Tennessee. The conversation kicks off with a confession about how they first met Mary Allyson at the VidSummit conference, where Whitney instantly recognized Mary Allyson and casually stalked her on the escalator.


We can't help but fan girl over Mary Allyson's YouTube video of the incredible wedding cake she created for Annabelle's wedding. When Courtney kids Annabelle about her demands for all things Harry Potter, we learn that the only one who isn't a member of the Hufflepuff House is Courtney! The biggest shocker was that Mary A successfully created a vegan and gluten-free cake and how it pleasantly surprised everyone at the celebration.


We then dive into how Mary Allyson got her start in baking as a little girl using the real oven and a cake decorating kit gifted by her mother, Anita. Mary A reveals that while Momma Anita could bake, she actually learned her skills from her Daddy and Grandfather.


As the episode unfolds, Mary Allyson and Annabelle reflect on their mother's Southern hospitality, her knack for making everyone feel welcome, and how she instilled values of kindness and love in her children.


At the dinner table, Momma Anita was always cooking up hot meals whether from scratch or repurposing the leftovers like spaghetti casserole. The sisters reveal that their favorite dish she made was her Parmesan Chicken. She was also known as the Snack Carpool Queen, having all the friends of the sisters wanting to ride shotgun in Momma Anita's car!


We've got a real treat for our listeners with a surprise appearance by Momma Anita, who joins for the rapid-fire segment. She picks her favorite child, spills about who was the biggest trouble maker, while the sisters tell us what really gets under Momma Anita's skin. Mary A and Annabelle playfully share details about family dynamics, mischievous childhood antics, and discover what truly makes their mother proud.


So grab a slice of cake—or spaghetti casserole, we’re not judging—and join us for a super sweet episode you’ll not want to miss.
