Joanna Gaines has made us smile during this uncertain time and given us recipe inspiration thanks to her entertaining cooking videos that she's shared on social media. Now, she's made us keel over with laughter after hosting a mock book signing event at home to celebrate her new cookbook, Magnolia Table, Volume 2.

Released earlier this week, the second cookbook from the Waco Wonder Woman is filled with delectable recipes for hits like Cajun shrimp sheet pan dinner, zucchini bread, oatmeal cream pies, and more. To toast the book's release, Gaines took to Instagram, writing, "Since my book tour isn't happening this week, we still wanted to celebrate the book launch in our own unique, stir crazy kind of way. I felt the love for sure, but I also missed getting to see all of your beautiful faces!" alongside the video of the humorous fake book-signing sketch.

In the clip, Gaines sits behind a table displaying her new cookbook next to her daughter / security guard before various members of the Gaines family, from baby Crew to Chip, wander up to the table (all but Crew in costume) to get their books autographed—or in Crew's case, grab a cookie. Watch below.

What a video, huh? We're thinking Chip and Jo should seriously push for a Gaines family sitcom on their upcoming Magnolia Network, which launches on TV next October. Clearly, the Gaineses have serious acting chops.

In the time being, we'll look forward to keeping a touch of extra calm in these unsettling times by watching all of Joanna's cooking videos. Even if we're not making the recipes, her ability to make the best of what's around during this trying chapter is exactly what we need today.
