Buon Natale Nicole! From one Italian to another. 🎄
Oh my gosh, they’re all delicious. Oh my goodness.❤🎉🎉🎉 and merry Christmas to you and your family
Anybody have a substitute for mushrooms? I can't even look at those things LOL
I didn't even feel like I watched an hour worth of recipes! I certainly hope Allrecipes realizes who we tune in for! Nicole is so fun! I love the classic home style recipes she brings to the table.
Awesome, another great video of crock pot meals, Tysm Nicole, Love your channel. ♥♥♥
This video is a tremendous help! Thank you so much!
SAY IT. SAY IT…. MERRY CHRISTMAS
I Love your videos! With all these slow cooker recipes, that’s a lot of food in each recipe, we’re a household of two people, can all of these recipes be frozen and if so how do you reheat them
Get in my belly!!!!
Today is Christmas Eve 🎄 2025. I am so thankful I found your channel. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas. Have a Blessed Day 😊🍴
Nicole we love you! Your humour and down to earth attitude when it comes to cooking is what we need in this world. Thank you for sharing these yummy recipes!
I know this is an odd comment, most food host take a huge bite , and talk with a mouth full of food. It honestly makes me gag. I am so happy that she covers mouth ,then when she is done she begins to talk..
I can't stand to see people talk with food in their mouth..
Yes, I definetly trust her!!!! Best cooking show I have ever seen, EVER! Thank you.
Thanks for this recap of multiple great recipes all in one show. Wonderful Christmas present!
Why are you locking the lid? Ain't that for just when you are traveling in a vehicle with it?
Peach jam?
Have you ever tried a recipe that you absolutely could not stomach when you tried it?
I love this channel so much ❤❤❤❤
I love watching your cooking videos. Your humor makes me laugh 😂 😊❤
Great recipes, but you are not supposed to "lock and load" when you cook. The locks are for transportation. Merry Christmas 🇨🇦
Im allergic to onions never going to have onion soup mix in my pantry😂
man, this video is awesome!! thank you Nicole!! ❤❤
Love your MILANO 1972 because I live in MILANO, Texas 😉
I've never understood why you salt and pepper the meat first and then pour liquid on top. Love Nicole ..
❤ you Nicole
Merry Christmas Nicole and Family
Wishing you a very erryChristmas Nicole! Thanks for a fabulous year of recipes. Have a fabulous New Year and I can’t wait to see what’s on the stove in 2026!
These all sound great. I think I will make them all the first week of the new year💥😋Thanks, Nicole!
Beef Bulgogi recipe does not contain green beans. It calls for green onions.
Pulled Pork recipe states: "Place pork tenderloin in a slow cooker; pour root beer over top. Cover and cook on Low until pork shreds easily, 6 to 7 hours. Note: the actual length of time may vary according to the individual slow cooker. Drain well. Stir in barbecue sauce."
You add the BBQ Sauce with the root beer before the cooking starts. ??????
Easiest dump ‘n’ go dinner EVER, bar none is my own: pork roast and a jar of dill pickles. Delicious on its own, then amazing as pulled pork the next day.
My recipe calls for jars of (with juice) pepperocinni and banana pepper rings chili, onion & garlic powders, s/p. Gardiner goes on top. So good.
Your videos feel like having a girl friend sharing her kitchen secrets, as well as having professional chef instruction. So appreciate you!!!
I have been making what You call swamp potatoes for 37 years and I just called them Smoked Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans. That was My go to meal when My Kids were growing up They are Adults with Families of Their own and Their Families Love this Meal as well. Thanks for Sharing.
I love your crockpot where can I buy one
I loves your cooking show and you you are awesome great recipes.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Nicole and all that watch this channel.
Delicious and economical YUMMY
Locked and Loaded i was told not to lock while cooking?
Girl I love the way you cook/ YES
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Wishing you a new year filled with joy, luck and happiness.😊
I use my grandmother's electric knife. Only takes minutes.
We can’t get conecuh on the west coast. It’s the sausage that tastes so good. I paid $100 just in shipping during covid just to get 12lbs of it. 😢 $200 total.😅
No more Campbell soup hacks pls we don’t eat that junk food.
Love love love all the ideas!!! You are my goto for all things food !!! ❤
I see you strapping on the crock pot lid in some videos – is that how you are supposed to use them? Or are they just for transporting?
Merry Christmas! Love this channel.
I'm so glad I found your channel Nicole.
You're the best!
Merry Christmas
Does anyone know what size is Nicole's crockpot? I'm looking to purchase one but confused on size.
Best “how to make a great meal “ shows there is 😅
