I tried the pork this weekend…it could not have been any easier and quick! And it was DELICIOUS!
I love your show😂
@ 5:03 the Time/Temperatures are reversed.
Nicole, thanks for letting folks know that Onion, Celery, and Green Bell Pepper combination is known as the Holy Trinity with both Cajun and Creole cuisine. Also, @ 5:03 the Time/Temperatures are reversed.
Yeh but, the Instant Pot will REALLY keep your kitchen cooler….and meals very fast, even from frozen. Enough already with the crockpot—–I've never, ever gotten a good meal out of a crockpot. They are a pain. Sorry, not sorry. The future IS instant pot. You recipes are great, crockpots are not.
I hate how crockpots make everything wet and soggy and somehow all the flavors disappear. Need to reduce that sauce by 3/4 and taste for seasoning after the meats done. Who likes wet sandwiches?
Too expensive to go out to eat yet heres my professional grade kitchen with three ovens and 12 burners. lol. Unless this is a staged set up.
Informed cooks do not wash raw poultry! The recommendation to NOT wash raw poultry has existed for well over a decade now! Not only does "washing" NOT remove contaminants from the meat, it will disperse contaminants all over your sink and possibly even elsewhere in your home if there's any splashing or similar. Please educate yourselves.
i like to use kitchen shears to cut my chicken out of the package, certainly not the knife I am going to use to prep. microplatics on the knife
You are the first Youtuber channel I've noticed with two stoves in the kitchen.
I also like the feature in the background, the slats holding what looks like large paper bags.
Thanks for the tips and delicious, easy recipes.
Love your videos! Thank you! 😋 I'm anything but offended!!😂
Ouch! the Cowboy Casserole linked recipe in the description is missing a lot of the ingredients shown in your video. Off to the store a second time darn it.
I've been making the All Recipes pulled pork for over a decade. The instruction on the site varies a bit, the meat is cooked in the root beer then drained. After it is cooked, the BBQ sauce is poured in. It's always a hit.
These look so delicious and very easy to do. I use my crockpot year round even though it's just me now since my husband passed away 18 months ago.
I sent a message, but don't see it.low I crockpot 7 hrs,high4 hrs
my husband and I have the thing where cilantro tastes like soap. yes that is a real thing. was is a substitute for the cilantro? if there is
I love these videos, but really wish the recipe linked was the same as shown.
Ok but you know we're gonna need that overnight slow cooker breakfast burrito recipe you mentioned too. 😄
I've been looking for a mince beef slow cooker recipe….and I think I just found the jackpot! ❤
GIRL, forget the beach to make, doing these in MS weeknights! I could binge- watch you making these different videos because you make them doable and family friendly and I know they are just good! Thank you!
I enjoy your channel, but just wish you would not start talking at a nice volume, but constantly trail off to a whisper. Makes it so hard to hear you unless I am willing to keep the volume way up.
I like the meals she cooks but I noticed that she doesn't clean her meats in my opinion that's nasty.
I want to get some of your recipes, but I don’t know how to receive them so I could copy them down so I could make them. How do I go about doing that?. thank you
From Buffalo….no ranch dressing! Only blue cheese. Other than that, perfection Nicole!
My slow cooker gives off heat so in the summer I set ours in the garage to cook. Keeps the heat out. 😊
I hate chicken skin n thighs have lots of it in there
Hey guys I’ve noticed several people in the comments concerned that Nicole didn’t wash the chicken. That practice is no longer recommended. Not only is it not necessary but the washing process ends up spraying fine particles of raw meat bacteria all around the kitchen.
We love your recipes and u are coolio
I do the pork in my crockpot, but I use Dr. Pepper AND I add the BBQ sauce separately to the sandwiches at the end. Yum!
What I love is that these recipes are easily to follow and do not have expensive ingredients but still so delicous with budget concerns even higher than before I count on these delicious crowd pleasers a lot !
I think your jambalaya times are upside down. Delicious recipes ❤
Pulled port- mist must be served on margins potato rolll. I use the hamberger bun. But if you want extra sweetness, use the party or dinner small rolls, also martins potato rolls.
Note 📝 the printable slow cooker cowboy casserole is not the one she shows on vlog. Just in case u may want to try them both. Love her she makes everything look delicious 😋
What’s truly crazy is how nobody talks about book Forbidden Chef Secret and honestly, it's packed with stuff I’ve never seen in regular cookbooks. The way it explains everything changed how I cook at home.
Does the hot sauce for the buffalo chicken receipe make the dish really hot? I cant do too spicy
Hey beautiful lady. So I seered my pork on the stove. Then…..I mixed half and half. Instead of a whole bottle of BBQ sauce.i did half BBQ and half buffalo sauce. The root beer. What does that sound like to you? And I'm letting it cook in the crock pot for ten hours. What do you think?? Open for feed back.
She’s talking about restaurants being too expensive while standing in front of two enormous and expensive ovens…
What decade are you living in that the oven heats your whole house? Yes the slow cooker is a great convenient way to prepare meals, but please stop saying it turns your house into a hotbox. This isn’t 1970 anymore.
Looks like a soggy mess.
Im making the taco dinner next week for a moms night meeting 😄
The writing on the t shirt boggled my mind😂😂😂
In our pulled pork I use root beer as well. It adds a nice flavor. All of these recipes sound good.
Traditional schamitional. That’s my kind of slow cooker jambalaya. Thanks you Ms Lady Mam 😉👍
I absolutely LOVE your videos!
I thought I knew about cooking. Then I read book “Forbidden Chef Secret”, and I realized I had no clue. It’s wild how many recipes there is.
