Looks great! Never had Tajin. Don’t know what it tastes like, just curious as I don’t like watermelon so wouldn’t ever make it. 😊
I absolutely love your channel ❤❤ consistent & useful content. Recipes I ACTUALLY make not just watch for leisure. Please don’t stop make this beautiful & informative cooking videos 🙏🙏
Everything looks amazing!
You should try molasses in your baked beans. Yum! And the potato salads we make here (Newfoundland Canada) are mashed potatoes then we add all the stuffs, like beet salad (we make our own jarred pickeled beets and use that), mustard salad (again, we use our homemade jarred mustard pickles), & one we just call potato salad, which is the basic with egg, peas, carrots, spicy dill relish & apple bits. Of course there's spices in there also.
My kind of slaw! The only way I make it.
My favs are the sides! And all those are the staples for me as well. But I don’t like mustard so I don’t add much and I like sweet relish, lots and lots of hard boil eggs. And baked beans are so yummy but I can’t have any type of spice of a total wimp so I end up with the green pepper and a ton of brown sugar sometimes some bbq sauce too. And oh my gosh I love anything Carmel!
Looks great 😋
Chica, you are one brave lady to do BBQ in WHITE PANTS!!!
You BBQ outside at night with those woods next to your house you're going to attract a bigfoot.
This girl is my fave.
You did good Nicole. Everything looks super yummy. Just like Big Mama used to make. Must try the brownies. That looks interesting. Take care and enjoy the summer cookouts. Love me some Arnold Palmer with a kick.
Your videos are my favorite! Every recipe is fabulous! I make my beans almost the same way!
The ice under the potato salad, BRILLIANT IDEA! Great episode
You are the first person to make baked beans like I do and I learned it from my mother. They are the best baked beans ever. People rave about how delicious they taste.
