I am a nursing mama also and came to this video for meal inspiration. I added ingredients for burritos to my grocery list as I watched this. Can’t wait to have them! I totally forgot refried beans were a thing; I’m so excited to have them. 😍 thanks for the inspiration! I’m also going to look for your baby food video you talked about for inspiration. My little one is nearly 4 months old so we have some time before the solid food journey begins, but it never hurts to be prepared! 😍
Great video! ❤️ +1 to washing down pasta sauce jars with water. Another life hack is to use heat resistant silicone spatulas while cooking. They are so useful in scraping clean ingredient bowls that get dumped into the cooking pan.
Pro tip... fresh ground pepper. Seriously, pre ground stuff doesn't even taste like pepper by comparison. So worth the minor effort of grinding it into your food.
my favorite part of the video was seeing Zoe making an appearance ☺️ I’m in college and I don’t get to see my two little dogs when i’m here so seeing her makes me so happy! Also loved the burrito recipe and i’m definitely showing my roomate this! 💜
I just seen your post regards your rough week. I’ve been having a tough one myself with chronic pain. The floor and heat packs have been my best friends. How you explained your feelings helped me to realise that it’s just a tough week there will be more but there will also be good ones. Normally I know this but on these days it’s hard to see anything but pain and guilt for burdening others and not being around to help. I’m also finding it difficult to explain to people that I will always try new things to help it and it’s my goal to ease it. But even things that help it some weeks don’t. I know it’s alway said from love and lack of understanding it’s hard for others to understand when you can’t wrap your head around it. You and your videos have given me hope and courage on my future. Things I’ve been afraid of because of my eds and chronic illnesses I know I have the strength to do. I’ve seen it in you. Your courageous, strong, positive. God doesn’t give us anything we can’t handle. You’ve got this. Sending all my prayers your way. 💕
That pasta looks AMAZING 🤤 I’ve definitely gotta try it!! My fav part was definitely Logan playing with the straw and starting to babble 😍 he’s gotten so big. So glad we’ve gotten to enjoy watching him grow. God bless you and your family ❤️❤️❤️
Favorite part of the video...you inspired me to get back into smoothie making and look into adding things like MCT that doesn’t have flavor but the health benefits are MAJOR! Thank you!
THE PASTA LOOKED SO AMAZING OMG. I am a vegetarian so I love coming to your channel to get inspo or recipes to incorporate into my life! Amazing food Nikki!! 💖
The pasta!! Yum. Love to see you get things from your garden. Video request 🤔 maybe going grocery shopping with you at a market? Then a haul of it and why you chose those things. Also I feel like it would be fun to hear why you eat certain things- and what the benefits of them are, just to share some of your knowledge ❤️
I love all the food you made it looks so good...did you know that tomatoes & bell peppers are a night shade family and can cause inflammation in the body which produces pain in joints increases my pain in my body, so does carbs and grains.
Ooh try this recipe if it sounds good to you it’s how my fam does refried beans, cut up bacon (half a pack peppered thick cut is what we go with or from the butcher if we’re feeling fancy lol) and fry on medium heat in a deep frypan until it’s crispy keep all the grease add two cans of pinto beans drain just a little liquid from one can. Bring to a boil smash with mash potato smasher (I like to keep a few beans whole) bring to boil again and done. Sorry I’m to worst at explaining recipes feel free to comment any questions lol. Adding pico de Gallo and cheese makes the best bean dip btw 😊
I need to try and be a little more creative with my foods. I stick to a lot of the same meals so maybe if I give it a little more spice or added in a little extra something it would elevate it so much! Thank you for sharing!
Found your videos a couple months ago when looking for healthy-ish meals while breastfeeding and have to send you a BIG thanks for documenting all your meals! I also just love getting to "know" you, we have a lot of similarities and it's refreshing how real you come across.
I wish I enjoyed cooking as much as I enjoy watching you cook. Lol A favorite recipe of mine is a sausage potato and onion dish my Mom made when I was growing up and just the smell of it cooking makes me feel like she’s still here.
Everything looked so amazing 👌 I love how many fruits and veggies you naturally incorporate into your day. That is a huge goal of mine and watching videos like this are super inspiring 😁
That pasta sauce looked amazing. I am so hungry now. lol You cook like I do. I call it intuitive cooking. 😊 What a great idea to blend the zucchini for the sauce. I can't get over how big Logan is getting. He is so freaking adorable! 💖
Hi 👋 My favorite dish was the pasta. It’s satisfying to see you cut all those veggies and added to food, I like all of them but blended so I don’t feel the texture. Im motivated to get up and make a good family meal 🤤Thanks!
All of your recipes legit made my mouth water 🙈🤣 love love love these videos. My favorite recipe was the burritos, that guacamole looked so fresh, and the zucchini blended into the pasta sauce was so smart never thought to do that. The pasta looked amazing as well😍
We also grow some vegetables like green beans, tomatoes, zucchini and a few more. It is the best feeling to pick them and make a delicious and nutrious meal out of them😍
I clicked so fast! Your videos bring me so much peace! Love how you just bring dishes together they all good soo delicious. Love you always! 💗💗💗 p.s give lolo a big hug for me
The pasta and smoothie look delicious 😋. I'm allergic to mushrooms but seriously wish I wasn't. They are so good and an amazing meat sub. I don't know if you'll see this but what teas did you drink during your pregnancy?
I’ll have to try grilling my burritos like that, my husband wasn’t into the different texture of those tortillas but making them crispy might do the trick. Also I LOVE blending in veggies into my pasta sauce too! I usually do a bunch of spinach and zucchini and use an immersion blender to make it incorporated into the sauce such a sneaky way to get those greens and veggies in a meal. 😀
I’m so sorry your day has been horrible 🥺 unfortunately I feel like everyone I’ve talked to has hard a day and weekend... I’m glad my video gave you some positivity 🤍🤍🤍
So happy to see that you are staying safe and healthy and hope everything is going well for you and your family and God bless you all and stay safe and healthy. Love 💘, guys so much ❤
Okay, so that pasta looks AH-mazing. Congrats on your garden garlic! I know you’re so proud of it! 😍💕👏🏻 also the artichoke in this video made me want to make artichoke chicken😋😍
Love your “secret giveaways”!!! I loved the idea of purée vegetables to add to the spaghetti sauce, this would be a great trick to get my kids to eat more veggies!!!
Yesss nikki 😍😍 these are some of my fav videos!! All of this food looks so amazing and I'm def trying all of these recipes very soon! Thanks so much for being my food inspiration lol love you!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Wow Nikki that pasta was so mouth watering ! I will definitely be making this ! Thanks again ! Like I always say love the cooking vlogs , I learn so much from you 😊
My fav bit totally the pasta sauce hack! Thank you!! Does it make it creamier? I imagine it would! I'm dairy free and this seems like such a cool way to spruce up a sauce! 💕 Ps love your chanel (+for so many years now! Crazy!)
Thank you! You know I used the word “creamy” but that wasn’t the right word! It kinda just thickened it up...? Idk it just tasted great, gave us extra veggies and allowed me to use my frozen zuchinni! I obviously highly reccomend

Logan is the perfect mix of the both of you! He’s so adorable! 😭❤️
Pro tip... fresh ground pepper. Seriously, pre ground stuff doesn't even taste like pepper by comparison. So worth the minor effort of grinding it into your food.
@@surlespasdondine I just think they taste so different. Fresh ground is almost zesty or something.

Love to see you get things from your garden.

The pasta looked soooooo good! My mouth was literally watering lol.
Same.
I love how you include your food because some of the creations you make I would NEVER have thought to do. I have tried a few and they were delicious!
Also, do you have a way your store your home grown garlic? What is the best way? How long will it last?
I love the music you’ve recently been adding to your vlogs❤️. It’s definitely a fall Midwest vibe 💯🙏🏼💕.
Love the slow living content you’ve been showing in the more recent years. You’re such an inspiration to me. 💕💕💕
I love all the food you made it looks so good...did you know that tomatoes & bell peppers are a night shade family and can cause inflammation in the body which produces pain in joints increases my pain in my body, so does carbs and grains.
I love these videos Nikki. They inspire me and they are so relaxing to watch. I’m literally in total zen mode.
The pasta looks amazing!!! I love that you explain why you use certain foods and what they are good for. Thanks!
Love that idea of adding pureed veggies to pasta sauce. Thanks for the tip Nikki!
Ooh try this recipe if it sounds good to you it’s how my fam does refried beans,
cut up bacon (half a pack peppered thick cut is what we go with or from the butcher if we’re feeling fancy lol) and fry on medium heat in a deep frypan until it’s crispy keep all the grease add two cans of pinto beans drain just a little liquid from one can.

Love how your food is so easy to make vegetarian or vegan or whatever diet someone follows! It looks delicious!!!
I love the idea of adding purée to sauces!
Always watch your videos for food inspo!! You're so creative with your meals and always add so many veggies! Love!!
