      Never ever microwave left over rice. The microwave brings out a poison. Look it up Always use an oven
      , toaster oven or stovetop. Please look it up

    Nicole you're awesome, because you show everything. From start to freezer to what it looks like being frozen or thaw to cooking vessel. I have watched many and I mean frozen freezer meals and by far yours is the best. I love that you show what it looks like after being cooked and then you eat it. Amazing. Thank you so much. You rock!!! gb

    @susiereed8615 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nicole, love your recipes! I was wondering if you could do a series or video showing how to meal prep and freeze meals for 1 (or 2) person/people? What kind of containers or bags are best, how to keep the money low, ect? It would be nice to get some ideas from someone you could trust that knows how it's going to taste, the correct temps to cook at, just everything! 😂 Love your videos. You make cooking fun and not out of anybodys capabilities - and you do if with a smile and humor! Thanks so much, looking forward to seeing more of your ideas!

    I help my son and daughter-in-law with meals; both work and have somewhat different end of shift times. These preps look absolutely easy and amazing. I am going to have to adjust a bit being my son is a insulin dependant diabetic and she's somewhat keto, so I'm sure I can find a happy medium in all of these! Thank you!!

    Your cooking style matches mine. All of the videos I have viewed show dishes I would actually prepare and eat. I made the frozen air fryer salmon for dinner with an improvised glaze since I was out of Dijon. Served it with a zapped baked potato and microwave steamed broccoli. The whole meal took maybe 15 minutes. Thanks so much for great ideas!

    The Greek meatballs with Turkey are so tasty!! It’s very challenging to get a Turkey seasoned well and I think the feta and lemon zest are the key ingredients to it. I’m a teacher and always looking for tasty recipes for lunch instead of sandwiches. I love leftovers!! Thank you Nicole!!
