Just found your channel. First off, I appreciate the no nonsense, no time wasting blah blah blah that we hear on so many videos. Secondly, great recipes! Super ideas! and Third, I just plain like you. You are pleasant to listen to and have a very relaxed style. Thanks for sharing.

[@richardrussell2765]

Oh I agree. I do not want to hear a 20 minute speech on a 5 minute recipe. Drives me crazy.

[@TravisMuller-bo3hk]

OMG...You look very beautiful and I think you must have been the second woman GOD created after eve, I'm really much impressed about your profile🌷🌷☘🌻🌼 and personalities.❤🌸🥀🌻🌸 I also admire your good sense of humor on here.

[@angiecarver3999]

I couldn’t agree more! No lullaby music, unnecessarily long portions of you stirring etc. straight to the point and I’ll be using this as my next grocery haul/ meal prep on Sundays!

[@AKD822]

I love watching anything this woman makes

[@sharonbachman7574]

I'm addicted to you and your videos Nicole 😂

[@maryinmichigan2626]

Omgosh. Discovered you by a fluke and completely addicted to your channel. Love how relaxed and easy your meals are and the bonus of cocktails!

I just love how you cook and the humor that goes with it. A true Foodie. Love watching your videos

[@cheryladams7945]

I love your budget friendly meals. So simple it makes me mad that I don't think of these 🙂 you are very helpful, thanks so much

[@rruni9828]

Nicole, I dearly LOVE your cooking style and attitude. You make cooking so fun.

[@marshalinn2870]

Never ever microwave left over rice. The microwave brings out a poison. Look it up Always use an oven , toaster oven or stovetop. Please look it up

[@kathyfann]

Yes Thank you

[@marlirichmond8192]

This video was so well done and so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to show how to prep everything ANNNNNND how everything looks when it’s cooked, can’t wait to try these recipes!

[@TravisMuller-bo3hk]

Yeah me too

[@TravisMuller-bo3hk]

May I know you if you don't mind me asking?

[@mrss4328]

If you're going to cook all those things within say 5 days they don't all have to go in the freezer either. They can be in the fridge because it saves time instead of taking it from the freezer. You've inspired me and I'm going to the grocery store as we speak in a minute

[@ilikefood.4926]

Real people, real food. Thank you.

[@cindymaun8952]

Nicole is the best! No nonsense, sensible meals anyone can make. And no laundry list of 50 ingredients.

[@stefaniemarraccini3949]

Italian Beef sandwiches were next level! My 4 yo devoured his. Thank you for easy recipes so I don’t lose my mind trying to feed a family.

[@phoenix0477]

How have I only just discovered you?? You are for me the best cooking show I've ever come across. Straight to point, and super easy. Love from Spain.

[@geraldinebuchin6713]

Nicole you're awesome, because you show everything. From start to freezer to what it looks like being frozen or thaw to cooking vessel. I have watched many and I mean frozen freezer meals and by far yours is the best. I love that you show what it looks like after being cooked and then you eat it. Amazing. Thank you so much. You rock!!! gb

[@Kathy-m9f]

I love all your recipes, I have taken your recipe and broken it down for 2 people. Love the show.

[@gardenfermentbrew527]

Thanks for frugal, healthy & easy, and for linking the recipes!

[@paulasiefert2059]

I just made the Greek style meatballs and roasted veggies for our dinner. It was so full of flavor, and not a lot of effort. Winner, winner!

[@maryland1647]

I made your Greek style turkey meatballs along with the green beans and tomatoes, I fed 9 people and can I tell you everyone loved them. No leftovers here. Great recipe, we will be having these more often. Thanks for sharing.

[@monkadelic13]

i told someone about raavioli casseroles and they thought I was cray- but YES this is what I do for a next level meal

[@kirstenmeier6704]

I love that your videos are fast paced to save time also. I sm a really visual person so I like cooking videos with more visual and less chit- chat. Yours are perfect!

[@SheltiesRule49]

You are a trip!! And that, young lady, is a compliment! I enjoy watching your cooking shows, and have learned that you can teach this old dog a new trick here and there! Thank you for your shows. You have a wonderful attitude and I just enjoy your presentation.

[@lisataylor1776]

I made the Italian beef and oh my goodness, best sandwich i've every made- can't wait to try to sauce and pasta :) Thank you sharing simple yet delicious meals with minimum ingredients!!

[@kevinking7991]

Your recipes are so "doable". Trying all of these. Thank you!

[@BernBrokars]

[@doloreshallinger6262]

Absolutely love love love your videos! Short, sweet, & to the point, thanks a million!!

[@bnk091182]

I'm recovering from trauma that has affected my memory (the death of my son AND my son-in-law within 11 days of one another). They were both in their mid-30s. So so sad. Back to the point: I've cooked my whole adult life not only at home but for a living. Suddenly now, I can't put a simple meal together, and can't even begin to start a menu or grocery list! So overwhelming, frustrating, and stressful. I'm also diabetic. Nutrition is EVERYTHING when it comes to controlling blood sugar. Needless to say, my blood sugar is now completely out of control, which affects my memory too. It's a vicious cycle that must be interrupted immediately to avoid severe health consequences. Your sheet pan dinners are an absolute Godsend to me!!! Simple, inexpensive, nutritious, no cleanup. This is the first time I've got real hope of pulling myself out of this 'death-throw'. Thank you so much! I don't know what else to say except keep up the great work! You don't know what a positive impact you're having on people's lives!

[@akankshapatwari4167]

I am really, really sorry for your loss. I hope you are in a better mental state.

[@wyllia4]

I appreciate all the cooking tips you give as you cook! You’re going to change meal time around my house. Thank you so much!

[@natalijaparadiso7566]

That is so awesome,fast easy and cheap gotta love it ....thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes ❤❤

[@cynthiasmiley4005]

I am a retired 68 yr old that needs ideas for one, please!

[@dilkycorteling2586]

What I love about you, you are to the point and the recipes are so easy

[@richardrussell2765]

I love your earthy simple approach. I've used a number of your recipes and had great results. And....I just love that sultry voice.

[@kellyhammerrealtorcentury2964]

I find you very entertaining to watch Nicole. Thank you.

[@humblehummingbird2011]

I help my son and daughter-in-law with meals; both work and have somewhat different end of shift times. These preps look absolutely easy and amazing. I am going to have to adjust a bit being my son is a insulin dependant diabetic and she's somewhat keto, so I'm sure I can find a happy medium in all of these! Thank you!!

[@Gbren321]

The Greek meatballs with Turkey are so tasty!! It’s very challenging to get a Turkey seasoned well and I think the feta and lemon zest are the key ingredients to it. I’m a teacher and always looking for tasty recipes for lunch instead of sandwiches. I love leftovers!! Thank you Nicole!!

[@bevjones5093]

Your cooking style matches mine. All of the videos I have viewed show dishes I would actually prepare and eat. I made the frozen air fryer salmon for dinner with an improvised glaze since I was out of Dijon. Served it with a zapped baked potato and microwave steamed broccoli. The whole meal took maybe 15 minutes. Thanks so much for great ideas!

[@dianejohanson98]

Your videos are great and love the recipe ideas! Never thought to use frozen ravioli. Great idea! Have to try that!

[@janicewebber5584]

30 minute meals by RR did it a long time ago in a skillet on the stovetop but not as a frozen prep meal.

[@stephaniebriggs9346]

These recipes all are great. So many great tips here! please do another video with this theme!!

[@laureltrawick6452]

Thank you for your fantastic love of cooking! You are a joy to watch!

[@Dezertroze43]

So glad Mama is happy! You darling girl, you are lovely. Thank you again. That Thai recipe is wonderful, thank you again.

[@thelordismyshepherd1366]

I love all these ideas. I will definitely be trying them soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@laurieg2436]

They all look good, but curry is one of my favs!!!

[@cathyhughes9887]

We love the Greek meatballs meal, and it’s a regular in my menu rotation. We also love the chicken curry, and the frozen rice hack is brilliant!

[@dawncunningham7733]

You are my new favorite! I love your style and personality. I’m sure you have heard this a million times, but you look like you could be related to Demi Moore! 😂

[@cathywigand1000]

Everything looks delicious and you make it look so easy. I will definitely be trying these recipes

[@lizmiller2341]

I got to remember the freezing rice tip. Plus using part of your roast beef for your sauce. Enjoyed this video and your others you explain things clearly.

[@susiereed8615]

Nicole, love your recipes! I was wondering if you could do a series or video showing how to meal prep and freeze meals for 1 (or 2) person/people? What kind of containers or bags are best, how to keep the money low, ect? It would be nice to get some ideas from someone you could trust that knows how it's going to taste, the correct temps to cook at, just everything! 😂 Love your videos. You make cooking fun and not out of anybodys capabilities - and you do if with a smile and humor! Thanks so much, looking forward to seeing more of your ideas!

[@debiwillis9045]

Just shrink these down and use smaller bags, casseroles etc.....

[@WilliamBurton-uc8yc]

Love your channel!!! You are a lifesaver. When company is coming and I need something quick and delicious, you have it.

[@kathleenhardwick7650]

I love all of your recipes but the lid segment just saved my life so much. I’ve reached brain fog for dinners. You just lifted the fog!! My family is going to love you!!!

[@janinejohnson1898]

I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for your easy tutorials and fun personality and delicious recipes. Any ideas on appetizers or reminders of appetizers from past shows?

[@beckyburns1981]

I just found you & subscribed. I never could get Stir fry right, but you do! Now, I do too. 😀. My family loved it & I’ll fix it often. Thank you!!

[@KatWrangler]

I am recuperating from a broken distal femur (I can't walk on it for 3 months...2 more months to go). This is something my 15 year old could put together.

[@ceceliavassar3189]

I love the idea of prepping ahead for when company comes or additional meal ideas around the holidays. I re-watched part of this video and I don’t recall the yield for these recipes. How many people will they serve? Thanks for your effort to save us all time in the kitchen!

[@margaretcherry]

Nicole thank you so I totally enjoy all of your meal preps and recipes I use them all so much but in a few recipes I have to substitute the pork. I do use chicken or turkey or beefs but pork doesn’t work well with me but I do enjoy them all the same. Thank you

[@dianepowell4374]

I found this video last week and have made the lasagne so far and we really enjoyed it. Having a hard time choosing the next one ❤ thank you for sharing these.

[@williamking8033]

I like your parchment paper/foil trick!

[@caseyic9165]

OMG I just tried the Thai Chicken Curry. I....just....can't. This is SO good. I didn't think I could cook so well! LOL Thank you for this great recipe. I will be using this monthly - heck, maybe weekly!!

[@wildshadowstar]

I’ve made a variation on the ravioli lasagna, and it’s delicious and definitely easy.

[@rachelbee7921]

Thank you for teaching good home cooking…so many young folks have no idea how to cook from the freezer and garden.

[@luckys1579]

Many thanks! Super! Keep up the good work!

[@PeachesCourage]

Although I myself tend to like things like stir fry with a little meat I learned from this how to make something good I've never done with meatballs so far( Has anyone made bourbon balls for the Holidays? My Mom used to ) Thanks so much for these recipes!

[@allrecipes]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[@mohomarzayne2256]

Thanks a lot. Lots of love and good wishes for you. Mother of three like always need some variation.❤️

[@dinaboczek6579]

The Greek meatballs are awesome.I'm making the ravioli lasagna today.

[@dianepowell4374]

Nicole, thank you for telling me about not having to blanch green beans before freezing. How many other vegetables can you freeze without blanching?

[@merilynntaylor519]

111111111111111111

[@LifeHacks-ut4pc]

She is wrong and the green beans like all fresh veggies you freeze must be blanched first. Also you can't add frozen meat to a slow cooker because it will not get to high temp fast enough for safety. She will give you diahrea and these videos are a health hazard.

[@Amanda-rv8to]

Great hints and recipes, and you are a hoot. Love your

[@cheryladams7945]

Love your videos. Your personality is unique,makes me want to try all your recipes 🥰

I freeze rice often. It does get drier, so add a little water when heating it as she suggested.

[@rhondameahl4478]

Love all your cooking ideas I look forward to the next video! I have tried many all with success you have a real flair to the way you cook I get a real kick out of it
