Pro tip: soak the goji berries overnight in some water (or 10 min before blending). It allows them to blend easier and (apparently) brings out their nutrients!
Love that you take time to slow down and actually make home cooked meals even if it takes a while. Something I definitely want to start prioritizing and putting into my schedule. Definitely inspiring + also always get some great food ideas from seeing your meals!! 🥰
I grew up in a farming family and I would like to share some tips. First that butternut squash, keep the seeds and let it dry so you can plant them after the winter time and also to avoid so much food waste, after taking off the seeds, you can peel the squash with a fruit peeler before putting it into the oven. In that way, it will be cook evenly and it will be easier for you to mash them for your soup. And I can see you’re always touching your tidy seedlings with your bare hands. What my folks told me is that we sometimes carry bacteria on our hands that will somehow transfer to the plants and that will interfere with their growth. So better wear gloves all the time especially during transplanting.
Yay! I love videos showing what you’re up to and your food. I really love how you show what you do with you food and how you go about it, like your freezer tips! I always forgot to use my veggies/ food in general in time and I feel so bad wasting, love that you do that and I definitely never want these videos to ever stop 😍😍
I love the whole vibe of the video! It’s so peaceful, which helps me unwind after a hectic day. Please keep doing what you’re doing! Love your entire channel ❤️
Hi Nikki :) Last year this time I was making A LOT of butternut squash puree for my daughter, who was starting to eat solids. I always cut it in half, scooped out the seeds then put it, open side down, in a baking dish with an inch or so of water, then in the oven. When it is done the skin will kind of pucker and bubble. The inside is usually so soft you can just scoop it out with a spoon. Doesn't work as well with seasonings, but if you just need it cooked and soft, this is a really easy way!
I love the whole vibe about this video. It’s so calming and tranquil. Girl you know how to make a subscriber crave a video. Your videos are just overall beautifully made.
Im not skipping any ads because i want to show you that i appreciate ur hardwork, your effort to shoot, edited, and upload this video for all of us to see and share the endless positivity and calmness. ❤️
What I love about this video is the attention you bring to your gardening, I think it’s so important to eat seasonally and growing your own fruit and veg is the perfect was to do this!
I am also such a weird flavor mixer, and it's because I watch your channel!!!!! Hahaha, you totally inspired me to try new flavors and not to take cooking so seriously. I am so eternally grateful to your channel for that! Everyone loves the food I cook for them now :) xoxo
I don't know how, Nikki, but somehow you manage to inspire me to eat all my fruits & veggies and want to plant a garden! lol I love the natural approach you have to eating.
Hi Nikki! :) Organic grass finish ghee (if you can find) is VERY heat stable. You can try too if you like. I'm amazed that your sweet potatoes didn't burn with that huge butternut! :) If you don't need that roasted taste, for easiness, I just dump the whole thing in the oven and then it gets real nice and soft too :) I kinda feel like the mixing of flavours may take some flavour out? If you know what I mean but I'm always inspired by your rainbow mix of stuff =D
You not only have a calming spirit but uplifting too and I need both right now while my husband heals from heart surgery. You have the right idea about self care,health is so important. I love watching you prepare good,hypnotic
I love how you reminded me to use up my somewhat wilting kale not even 5 min through the video haha we're on the same page and I am now making a smoothie!
I love seeing Boozer in your Videos he’s so precious! Also lo being seeing how you make your mess and just throw in anything and everything and it looks delicious!
Hey Nikki!! 😍 I love your videos so much but something that I loved about this one was how happy and calming it makes me feel to watch your videos! I’m so happy for you and your growing family 💜💜💜
I took the day off from the gym today but I just wanted to get a little movement in, so i turned on all the twinkle lights in my apartment, put this video on and did 25 minutes of yoga to the sound of you talking about food lol. So relaxing though!
These are my favorite videos to watch! You make the best food and you're all about well being and self care and I really love that. I'm always inspired after watching your videos
All that food looked so amazing!! Watching your videos seems like I’m watching myself in the future if I ever get to work from home, constantly cooking and several hobbies 🥰
game changer for making chickpea salad : Peel some if not all of the chick peas!! I did it once and haven't gone back. I love getting to see different spins on it :)!
That soup looked amazing! I definitely want to try something similar now 😀 I love how easy soups are to make and that they can be kept in the freezer for easy meals for days to come!
I fell off commenting. But I have been watching faithfully. Thank you for always taking time to hit record and share your life. You inspire me towards health and wellness and GOOD FOOD! Loving all your updates. ❤️
Love this! I'm watching from the hospital with my son =/ your videos help me be in a better mood :) love seeing your gardening experience! Love this video and love you💗💗
I loved your salad concoction! It reminds me of the meals my dad would make for my brother and I. He would come home open the pantry and make a delicious meal of whatever ingredients we had. Some of the ingredients didn't seem like they belonged together, but it worked! 💚💜💙
Finley is an adorable name!! Meaning Fair Warrior!! I currently struggling to find a name too for our little man coming March 3! These videos really inspire me to put my best foot forward!💓
I love your what I eat videos, they are always so fresh and yummy looking😊 are you planning to pre make freezer meals for when baby comes? I would love to see what you’re doing to prep!
I am a college student and have hit a very stressful time in the semester. I’ve gotten through this by finding time by trying to do what I love; and that is to cook and watch your videos. Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable to watch! I’ve been on a soup kick, so I might try to make that soup since it’s soo cold where I live! Love you and your videos!!
Wow that green scrub brush you used to wash your potatoes has seen better days 😂 Dont worry, I'm the same with my scrubbies, gotta use up every bit of something before replacing it😉
Another fantastic DIML! I absolutely loooove butternut squash, we made a similar soup the other week and it was delicious! So healthy and good for cooler weather :) I always love to see what you're cooking up
All this food looks so amazing!! I am totally similar, in how I love mixing dressings and ingredients. I definitely get the side-eye with the amount of raw garlic and cilantro I eat! I like to cook my squash open side down against the pan. I feel like it helps keep that aromatic and flavourful steam from escaping. More flavour and softer squash!
Absolutely love watching your videos, especially all of the food that you make and all of your garden updates! My husband and I are new to gardening and definitely do not have a green thumb. We actually were very successful in the spring, but not so much this fall. 😔
I love watching your videos and watching baby grow. The name I’m suggesting is Lucas meaning light.!i think this name is suited for the baby given the amount of light you and your husband give to all your viewers. You are a blessing and your videos literally are fun, cute and always so enlightening.
Self care is very important and I love that you always mention your garden in almost all your videos. You say that you’re not a guru in gardening but you’re learning and growing. 🥬🍠🍋🥕🥦 Next goal for you... laying hens for fresh eggs. I won’t be surprise if you actually do it.
My favorite thing is how you treat your mentality and body so well!! Such an inspiration! I’ve been following for 5 years now! So fun to see how you’ve evolved! 💛
Can we see an updated Costco shop with me/haul? It’s been a while and I’m considering a membership so I’d love to see what all they have. I’d also love for you to make a “freezer 101” video where you explain what foods in your experience are good to freeze and what steps it takes to freeze them. I’ve watched you for a while and you freeze foods that I would’ve never thought to freeze so more info would be awesome! Obviously you’re busy growing a human but these are just ideas you can store away 😉
Your smoothies are always so extra and I love it! I wish I could motivate myself in the morning to make them for breakfast! As always though, I am motivated every time I watch your videos
I love butternut squash soup! 🤤 One of my fall/winter faves is the Pumpkin Parmesan lasagna recipe from Williams Sonoma. It is vegetarian but it is so hearty and filling. So so good!
My favorite part of your videos would be when you include things you’ve made! I’ve been changing my eating habits and I love meat but not 24/7. So your meals are perfect for those several times a week I’m not craving not wanting meat.
I loved all of the information about your garden! I would love to start gardening but it intimidates me to think I can spend so much time on something for there to be no results. I plan on starting a garden next year so your tips and tricks will help me!
I LOOOVE butternut squash and I got some seeds already to try and grow it next year too! I usually eat it just roasted with some butter and cinnamon as a side but trying this soup is on my list.
I love your cooking so much it really inspires me to get out of my comfort zone and I can’t tell you how many times I had bad habits of eating unhealthy and you always seem to get me back on track!! Love the pups❤️❤️
It's been fun to see your channel evolve as you've gone from a young married woman to a mother. I love butternut!!!
🤗😘

Growing something from seed is the most rewarding feeling ever 🙌🏼 I’m starting a little patio garden in my apartment ... pray for me !😂🙏

The soup looked delicious! Perfect for a chilly fall evening
I loved your salad concoction! It reminds me of the meals my dad would make for my brother and I. He would come home open the pantry and make a delicious meal of whatever ingredients we had. Some of the ingredients didn't seem like they belonged together, but it worked! 💚💜💙
I love how you just scooped the centers of the butternut squash so easily 🤣🤣
I wish I could do that hahahahaha
That soup though... 😍😍😍 It looks SO freaking good!!
Love butternut squash soup! I haven’t made one this season yet. Thanks for the inspo!!!
I love how relaxing your videos are 😍 and you are amazing! Thank you!!!!
You can microwave the butternut squash for about 5 minutes and it’ll soften it up and make it way easier to cut up!
Finley is an adorable name!! Meaning Fair Warrior!! I currently struggling to find a name too for our little man coming March 3! These videos really inspire me to put my best foot forward!💓

Lisa from Farm House On Boone. My daughter and I follow her on everything. Congratulations to her family on the new baby.
Wow that green scrub brush you used to wash your potatoes has seen better days 😂 Dont worry, I'm the same with my scrubbies, gotta use up every bit of something before replacing it😉
Adding cilantro stems to your broth adds a lot of flavor. Love your videos!
I love your garden updates! I wish we could do a fall garden in Indiana like you. We already have a ton of snow today...
I love seeing how you garden. I have always wanted to do so myself, maybe I will start! 🌻

I’ve never made butternut squash before so now I’m really eager to try! Also think it’s really cool how you can regrow spring onions 😊
