  6. I make a version of piccadillo in the Instant Pot, and instead of the olives and capers, I use muffuletta in a jar from Costco! I use a couple tablespoons and a spoonful or so of the brine. It’s delicious and adds the saltiness and a kick of spiciness. Haven’t tried the raisins but I will next time.

  11. We watch you, Nicole, nearly every night.
    My wife has dementia and I am having to do the meals now. Your recipes are easy for me to follow and it's like watching the girl next door sitting at the island as she fixes supper for her crew.
    There's just the two of us and I'm wondering if you would please put together some "meals for 2" or tell me how to cut your recipes down.
    You're a blessing to us both young lady.

  21. I’m so grateful for your videos. I am NOT a cook. My mom had a stroke and now I am doing the cooking 😂🤯. Thanks to you we won’t starve! There are so many people that post videos and then don’t share the recipe. Thanks for the help

  26. You have made cooking fun again! I love to cook but have been doing it for over 40 years and I was losing my enthusiasm a little bit. Not anymore. Now I just go to your channel, choose a few meals to make for that week, order the groceries and I'm good to go. And just like that cooking is fun again. And everything is so delicious!!

  34. Hi Puerto Rican here – when I make picadillo, I do not put raisins in it and I love raisins but not in my picadillo- for sweetness to go with the saltiness, try sweet plantain- you can buy it in the frozen food section and they go perfectly with picadillo. Delicioso!!!!!
