Italian Grandma Makes Stuffed Mushrooms

[@gusfring9895]

I got my first real restaurant job in 1978 working for a Sicilian family that moved from Brooklyn to central Virginia. There were 5 children; each one opened up their own location which they named after the family matriarch Rosa. They were the nicest, most wonderful people and they treated me like family. Your video just brought back a flood of memories, a smile, and a tear to my eye. Thanks!

[@1313wikked]

Ciao y'all...

[@elizabethwitt2621]

Aw! So nice!

[@warmwomyn]

Yes the immigrants from Sicily were nice and treated you like family. Imagine an America where in turn AMERICANS treated immigrants as good as immigrants treat Americans, or anyone who cross their paths. That would make the UNITED States OUTSTANDING!

Whoever is lucky to have this sweet Angel in their lives should get on their knees and Thank God. “My Children Are My Life”. I hope you treat this lady like a Queen.

[@Snapwhiz]

Yes they should! What a beautiful lady!!!

[@LynnaeaEmber]

Gina reminds me of my late husband's grandmother who taught me how to cook Italian dishes. Everyone needs an Italian grandma to teach them how to cook.

[@DevInvest]

Other than Nona Gina, the most beautiful thing about these episodes is NOTHING. No silly music, no talking over the chef, Just the sounds of the kitchen and the narration. Just lets Gina and her cooking shine.

[@sandranovia6810]

Nonna Gina , grazie ! I'm so happy I found you. I found would while looking for a ciambotta recipe. The only recipe my Mama didnt have in her book. I love you , like your my cugina. I too have familia in Toronto , Canada. We probably are familia! My Dad is from a small village in Puglia. Anyway I have made mushrooms my whole life eating and making them and we made them so different. I can wait to try yours. The ciambotta was fantastic. Now I will try your mushrooms Grazie tutti, Grazie for sharing Nonna Gina. I feel like I have my grandmother and Mom back!

I love how Gina has that slightly embarrassed, humble smile. What she may not know is how many people's lives (and cooking skills) she has influenced. She is a treasure.

[@loisheuer8772]

I agree. It is wonderful to have such a warm, down to earth person to learn to cook with. She is the best in getting a person to love cooking. She's brought my interest back. We love Gina!

[@lovemebrittany5289]

When she said “I like to keep busy.” That melted my heart! We don’t realize how bored our grandparents get with old age, they can’t do a lot of physical activity how they used to. Most are retired. Children and grandchildren off living their lives and growing up. So what do they do to keep their time occupied besides watching tv? Hearing her say that made me realize how much we need to appreciate our grandparents and take them out more! 💛😭 you’re the sweetest Gina!

[@sissiebrumback6145]

I agree, Ms. Brittany. My Nonnie taught me to make homemade spaghetti sauce, manicotti, and other dishes. Mama also taught me to cook and they both taught me to sew. My Daddy learned many things as a young boy and knows how to paint, electric work, plumbing, building, and so on. What's a shame is that many don't appreciate what our parents and grandparents know. Everything they've learned and know dies with them unless they have children and grandchildren to pass that knowledge on to. I'm an RN and I've worked 25 years in nursing homes/rehab centers. The elderly have a very special place in my heart and it grieves me when they don't have family or they do and don't visit. Ms. Gina, I found your channel just today and you are amazing. I loved your singing, sharing with us about your family, and so on. You are a very special and beautiful woman. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@jerryleroy9187]

It drives my mother crazy when my dad putters around the house and yard. She complains all the time saying "Why does he have to go go go like that? At his age he should be relaxing." And my dad tells me one day. "If I stop, I'll die." Simple right? The person that said "IF YOU DON'T USE IT, YOU LOSE IT." was a friggin' very smart individual. That is my mantra from now on.

[@sheag6200]

How could anyone ever ever give this sweetheart of a grandma a thumbs down...

[@johnnycee888]

The only thing I can figure out is that all the thumbs down are from Australia and they want this dear lady to know that Australia loves her as well.

[@0623kaboom]

they may be on a diet and can't eat what she is cooking ... and just watching them is making them hungry and so they break their diet ;)

[@MagaGoddess]

When you said "my children are my life" that was my mother - how I miss her. There's nothing like a mother's love and for Italian mamas it shows in their cooking. p.s. I love how you sing while you cook; I do too. :)

[@sarahstrong7174]

Correction-there is nothing like a GOOD mothers love. That must be so precious. Some mothers are extremely cruel & violent. Glad you were lucky, but it is really important not to romanticise mothers in general because it can make it harder for children who are suffering abuse & violence from bad mothers to get heard & believed & get help, if people start out assuming all mothers are good. Please do not let vulnerable children who do not have the protection of a good mother down. All the best.

[@befuddled2010]

You know she's a pro when the stuffing matches the number of caps perfectly. I live in California and I can smell and taste those mushrooms from here.

[@DevInvest]

I love Nana Gina I have a pretty severe spine injury I’m fighting to get treatment for and the battle plus the pain can turn one sour on the world, real fast. Odin keeps be going. But we live alone and when he’s down for the night, the walls can start to creep in. That’s where these lovely videos come in. It’s like being in the kitchen with grandma and everything is going to be okay. Wanted you to know they are likely more than simply cooking videos to many others like Odin & myself, a little family and knowledge there is still love and compassion out there. 🙏🏻💐🙇🏻‍♂️😊

Best part about watching Grandma Gina's videos is when it starts. "Hello I'mma Ginaaaa" I just smile and get comfy and watch her do her thing. Isn't she just adorable? I sure miss my grandma and her accent! This is the best closest thing to it and it makes me so happy. Love you Gina!!! :)

This is what is missing in our world today, we need to respect and learn from our elders...my daughter is 18 and barely talks to me anymore...my son is 21 and we talk regularly...kids need to realize that their parents, grandparents, etc. won't be around forever....our elders have so many gifts we can learn from...take note...God bless

[@ladykiri42]

CM - Oh how happy you've made me with this comment. I always try to tell the young ones to treasure their parents and grandparents. My dear, beautiful grandma was so precious to me. My husband didn't really get to know his grandparents before they were gone, he was just too young then. I still consider my Grandma to be beautiful, because when I look at her picture, I see her soul.

[@pattygaugler9636]

C.M. You're absolutely right. These kids will find out what's important when we're gone. Then it's too late. Our family is gone. Oh well they often to late.

[@susanstanford6162]

Absolutely agree

[@jerryleroy9187]

I'll tell you what. They care more about their phones than their own parents. I don't want to be mean here but it's true. I think boys are less absorbed in the likes and dislikes on their tic tocs and facebook and whatever else is the trend and that's why I am way closer to my son than my daughter. They won't have time for you until, Like the other person commented, You're gone. Then, It's too late. Those friggin' phones are f'n up every one and everything. You have to try to reconnect. Ask her if she would be willing to go off grid for only ONE day and spend it with you doing something together. If she says NO! Then you better look for different avenues to remedy the situation before it is a lost cause.. I wish you and yours the best and GOOD LUCK. It's so hard to get through to the youth of today.

[@billhill1943]

Don't worry...they wake up and come back into your life between the ages of 21 and 25. You'll see. She's at the age where she feels like an adult and resists you telling her what to do. Her head is all mixed up at this age. She will settle back down. I promise. Til then, love her and keep showing her how much you love her. She will be tied to you emotionally while not realizing it and this brings her back to you, the right way.

[@liwmld]

she is a sweet little old Grandma and i love her, but you do her disfavor to compare her to Mother Teresa, because MT tortured little children. she had the money (a LOT of money given in donations--and furthermore, the RCC is the richest organization in the world--literally) to buy them pain medications but she made them do without because she said to the children, "suffering is good because it is like JESUS kissing you." one little boy in such agony said to her, "please tell JESUS to stop kissing me!" but when mother teresa got sick and was in pain, she made sure she went to the best hospital in the world and had plenty of pain relief. also, in her diaries after she died, they found where she said she did not even believe in GOD, which i guess explains how she could force little children to suffer, because who would do such a horrible thing or even bear to watch children suffering without helping them. you can do the research yourself to verify what i have said.

I have to share with you the fact that I’ve watched everyone of your shows not once but sometimes two and three times. It’s a little joke at my house because when you’re finished making something and you taste it it’s always a little bit more salt. After two weeks in the hospital and watching all your shows again I delight in adding ,lol, A little bit of salt ......you got me through a hard time Gina and there’s no way that you could know how important your shows were to me during those two weeks of surviving Covid pneumonia.

Gramma Gina! I've been making stuffed mushrooms, old world Italian style, since I was taught by my Mama, at age 9! This cooking lesson taught me how to sit and complete a labor intensive task of mincing mushrooms! The most slippery suckers on earth and so were dealt with each one, very delicately, and with precision! We fed 7+ daily, so I was very satisfied to make this crowd pleaser as our holiday h'ordeurve for every American celebrated holiday! But snuck it in on an occasional Sunday, too! Progresso Italian style bread crumbs and more olive oil than you used. I loved seeing your wonderful tips, and am going to follow Your recipe next time!

They were never the same, but still delicious! I chopped the meat from the stems as you are, added tomato sauce, and cooked crispy cooked bacon. Then chopped green onion and added to the mix! Top with Mozzarella cheese cut in squares and place on each mushroom. A sprinkle of basil and oregano and placed on cookie sheet. Then refrigerated on cookie sheet, when ready to serve, broil until mozzarella is melted and mushroom is no longer spongey,, but slightly softened! Worth the effort, that’s for sure!

Oh lawrd. Italian grandma. You know you're always going to eat right with this lady. God bless her and her cooking

Grandma Gina, just got back from the grocery store. Picked up everything for stuffed bell peppers & manicottis... Mushrooms are my #1 great foods... Tomorrow, mushrooms... If I don't change my mind in the next few minutes after watching your video...lol. Pretty sure I'll be going back to the store after watching this... My husband's family are Italian's & I'm french. You should see us cooking. Most of the times, he wins. I'm a heavy handed spice person & always want to cook on a higher heat. He simmers, most dishes. I have learned seasonings & spices don't have to set your insides on fire but I still like hot...lol. I have watched his mom cook for years & never mastered anything like her's. I think she waited those seconds that I turned my back & ... Not, really. Like Grandma Gina, what a pleasure to watch to the end... Plan on cooking all day.

Thank you, Gina. I have tried making stuffed mushrooms but they never get fully cooked and tender. I never would have thought to boil them. I will try them your way. God bless you. What a sweetheart.

You are such a beautiful person ! I will make these for my mother when I fly home to see her. She loves them! You are what America is all about ….. thank you and God Bless you and your family

I keep wanting to add pimento for color. But not everyone would like the flavor. Maybe "less is more." Her singing is so sweet...And all of that love goes into the food. You are getting thousands of virtual hugs from all of us. Thank You, Gina!

I love watching you cook and I wish my mama was alive to cook for me. She cooked with love like you.
