Fantastic menu! You never cease to create ideas we can't wait to make. May we keep celebrating as we keep improving our beautiful America!
Great ideas
That cake icing would be really good with marshmallow whip instead of the powdered sugar
Happy 4th of July Happy 250th birthday 🎈🎈🎂🎈🎈 and thanks Nicole the 🔥 🌭 hot dogs and hamburgers 🍔 and everything's looks delicious 😋🤤
the coleslaw looks frostbitten… does it just change color when it thaws and it appears that way or was it not defrosted enough in the video?
great tips!
Looks great..Love the set up and glasses
How long do you marinate the hot dogs ?
Always a great menu!
I made the apple pie baked beans. My family LOVED them. I will never go back to the traditional method that uses brown sugar. The hint of cinnamon and the sweetness from the apple filling are perfect. I recommend using Sweet Baby Ray Sweet & Spicy for the BBQ sauce. Can also add bacon on top for extra-indulgent baked beans!
My son has made your apple pie baked beans for our family reunion and everyone loved them. The whole spread looks delicious, Happy 4th
Wonderful video! Loved your recipes❗️🤗😎
Nice recipe ❤❤
Thank you for making all of these recipes, Nicole. I love your shirt! Happy Independence Day to you, and everyone else out there. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
I like you and your cooking!!!
Please tell people NOT to use plastic egg cartons to start the grill! You would be surprised how many would just do it!
Love your recipes but these are just what happened? Grill the corn have butter bath ready I’m not freezing coleslaw and no I’m not making apple pie baked beans I’ve made a lot if your stuff but this is a stretch do you want me to send you some recipes? Seriously chefs run in our family

The pickle dip and cookie cake looks good though but no frozen coleslaw please and boiling fresh corn in milk just nooooooooo

Spracovanie videa je jednoduché a zrozumiteľné.
Celery seeds and a pinch of sugar to even out taste will make the potato salad taste better.
Video ponúka dobrý prehľad o danej téme.
