[@dianeladico1769]

Nothing beats a sweet grandma who wants to show her love for everyone with delicious home cooked food. Across all cultures in all the world, that's universal. Thank you Grandma Gina. I figured at my age I'd already have every kitchen gadget I'd ever need but I have to have that cheese grater.

[@antoninatrecapelli6976]

She reminds me of my sisters that were ,twenty eighteen and fifteen years older then me

[@JamieJoIacobucci]

Oh my! I wrote my first comment before you sang “Mama”…you sang it beautifully! This is a song that we heard growing up, singing it to my wonderful Mother and Nonna! Hearing you sing it has brought tears to my eyes because those beautiful women are now passed away and I miss them every single day. Thank you so much, Gina, for every video you send to all of us because they bring so much comfort, familiarity and especially LOVE!! Blessings to you and your family! Grazie!

[@tatianazuban660]

My mother is 89 and I hope she will live a bit more, but anyway i had tears to my eyes when Gina was singing with such love and feeling!

[@sylviamjames]

My Lord! She reminds me of my Angie aka (Angelina) she passed away 10 yrs ago, my own Mother passed in 2008 It sure was a treat when I seen her again. Thank you! Lord God! For her blessing so many with her presence 😘😍🙏

[@dianedalrymple7711]

[@tiatumin5262]

I love the way the nutrients are not lost in the broccoli water, by using it to boil the pasta. Also very economical not wasting fuel or water or time. ❤

[@EileenHall-j9f]

Nona is a force of nature. If you need cheering up, she fits the bill wonderfully.

[@bellavita4237]

Gina I was thrilled to see you. I often think about you; so happy you are doing well. Happy Mother’s Day to you and your family. Broccoli and Pasta I make it often, memories of my Italian mama and daddy. Look forward to more of you. You are loved Gina ❤️

[@leandroabreu9532]

Sono brasiliano e tu sei una bravissima nonna ❤ !

[@Angry-Harry]

Every time I watch Gina I'm taken back to my youth when the Italian side of my family was much much larger. Back then we always got together for celebrations or just for the sake of getting together. There's very little left of that old crew and times have certainly changed. Every time Gina reminisces about people who are long gone and stairs off forlorn, lost in those memories for a second, I get it. She takes me back with her every time. The memories of my large tight-knit Italian family are as magical as Gina's cooking. I can't thank you enough for compiling these videos.

[@cherylf.4616]

Gina, it so nice seeing you! It looks like Spring has finally sprung! 😀 Your broccoli 🥦 pasta looks so good, not to mention, easy to make! Even older kids can make it! 😋 Love seeing your gold play button sitting where all the music happens! In your magical kitchen! God Bless you and your sweet family Gina! ❤️

[@Gigi-amore]

I lost my mama last November. She used to love watch you with me. I asked God to let her come to me to let me know she is ok. Today I opened up my phone and here you are making a dish my mama used to love making for us as kids. It was my favourite. And when you sang the song “mama”......i knew. It was a message from her. She really is with me. Thank you Gina. I can’t stop crying ❤️🙏🏼

Mama Gina, I made this last week and it was so delicious. I love how the broccoli cooked down so that it was almost like a broccoli pesto. I only made a small portion but I wish I'd made the full recipe! Thanks for providing us with so many hours of good food and singing. I'm going through a very difficult time but watching you always makes me feel better 😊❤
