Thank you for your lovely stories and sharing them with me! I’ve learned you guys cook some amazing things and I would love to be invited for dinner 🤣🤣❤
Mrs Vitale I've been with you for nearly 10yrs I stumbled upon your channel to figure out how to make beef stew. My family made fun of me (even my 3yrs old at the time) relentlessly because I was such a terrible cook. I tried so hard but nothing ever came out right. Fast foreward to now. I'm asked to cook for my family holidays. Middle child of seven kids. That's a pretty impressive honor conscidering where I started. I owe it all to you! You gave me the confidence to try out new recipes. Ones my family stands by to this day. I make dozens of your recipes and WELL! We have your shredded italian beef for New Years Day every year. My daughters favourite food. She has called it all the years Italian Wedding Sandwiches. At that time your Italian Wedding Soup was my life. And still is. I have 2 quarts in the freezer at all times. We love you. I adore you! Whenever your older intro of "Hi guys, I'm Laura Vitale" would be heard my entire house would echo it back. Cause moms watching Laura again lol🤍 Thanks for all you have given me Confidence in the kitchen and my happy place! Fort Saskatchewan, Ab🇨🇦
I'm from Toronto, Canada and I've probably been following you on RUclips since before the other social media outlets even existed. Over 15 maybe even 20 yrs (I've lost count lol). The very first recipe I made from you from back in the day started with something super easy and they were butter cookies. They were SEN-SA-TIONAL! 😅 But the one recipe my family asks for at every single holiday gathering is by far the tirimisu. I make it at least 4-5 times a year and everytime I do it's a hit. In our culture when someone praises you for your food and if it was taught by someone else, you're always supposed to say a small prayer for them so Laura, know that you're prayed for alot around here! You have brought people all over the world together for so many years over food and food is love. ❤❤❤❤
Laura, I’ve been watching you since I was 14 years old and I’m 30 now cooking for my own family! You taught me EVERYTHING. I can’t thank you enough. Not just recipes to use but you taught me techniques and how much salt to use, etc. Your videos are gold. I would pay for these videos!! I’ve been a member on your membership channel since it became available and love those too! A recipe I make for my family ALOT is your simple chicken quesadillas. My kids love them. Serve with some sour cream to dip and some tortilla chips and salsa. It’s something I can whip up quickly and has protein, veg, carb. Delish!!! Love you so much Laura!!!!
I'm from Toronto, Canada!! The one recipe I can make for people that they love is the bolognese recipe my dad taught me when I was younger. It always makes him smile when I make it and perfect it
Listen lady! I’m from the south! Here in Mississippi we don’t get too many true Italian recipes to share. I absolutely positively swear by Laura Vitale’s recipes. I have cooked your Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken recipe sooooo many times that my daughter’s new boyfriend has already considered putting a ring on it! 😂 Around here, we love good food! Thank you ever so much for sharing your lovely recipes. ❤

I live in WA, USA and am originally from Vietnam. I have been watching you since I studied abroad in the States, so from 17 to 30 now. I love your channel and I am pretty sure my whole family knows about it. Not only I love your recipes, but also my family does. I also share your recipes with my family and friends due to the easy comprehension and the simplification you make so everyone can follow. Among all your wonderful recipes, the recipe that I like the most is beef Wellington. Thanks to you, we do not need to go to expensive restaurants to enjoy the dish. I had tried other recipes, but they do require a lot of techniques and efforts. The way you break down the recipe as well as your detailed instruction makes my life easier. When I made the dish on Valentines, my husband fell in love with it and he devoured half of the beef :))))
I've been watching you from New York since I was 16! The one recipe of yours that my husband and his family look forward to every year is your honey glazed ham! I didn’t grow up eating ham, but when I got married and was tasked with making a ham for my first Thanksgiving, I used your recipe. For two kids who didn’t even know how to pick a ham or how to properly place it in the baking dish, your recipe and video made it so stress-free. Last year, I didn’t host Thanksgiving, and I still hear to this day how we're never not hosting again because the ham was so missed. We met a few years ago in Disney, and we chatted about how you really helped me learn to cook! You’re the sweetest and so beautiful!
I'm from California and I started watching you 7 years ago as a newlywed and new mommy and your recipes have been my go to since then! I love making your chicken tortilla recipe for my husband and my kiddos! Anytime I don't have motivation to cook or run out of ideas, I can't go wrong with the tortilla soup. 😋 I've made it for my in laws and parents and everyone loves it!😊
I never skipped any of your videos, Laura and have been your follower for years now. My husband and my team (I’m a manager) know you too coz of me and never stopped talking about you. You have inspired me to cook, experiment, not be scared in perfection, and try new things. I am from the Philippines and the very first recipe I tried from you was your Monte Cristo. That was yearsss back, 9 years ago, I know but it has become one of our favs. ❤
Laura, I've beed watching your videos from Slovenia (a country next to Italy) for about 12 years now. I love your spirit, energy and of course your recipes! I think your recipes greatly affected my everyday cooking, and you are an inspiration to so many of us!
Houston, Texas, hon! And your cinnamon roll recipe was my dear, late dad's FAVORITE!! His face would light up every time he smelled them baking ❤!!! And this dad's girl considered it pure joy to make treats for the best dad in the world ❤
I am Priyaka I am 22 years old and I am from Hong Kong. I have been watching your videos since I was 15 and never looked back. You are the reason why I had the courage to start cooking. I dared to make your Shepherds Pie and that is everyone’s all time favorite. It does take time to make but it is so worth it! Thank you for giving me the courage to start cooking and enjoying it! I will forever be a fan!😊
I'm from Las Cruces, New Mexico. I'm 64 and have been watching you for over 10 years! The dish that everyone loves is Lasagna! I was thrilled when you put up recipes with cookie butter! I had never had it! Your Biscoff Cheesecake is so delicious!!! I have a sever nut allergy and this is something I can enjoy! Thank you! I've made it for potlucks at work and even made them in a muffin tin for individual servings! Thank you, Laura, keep up the good work!
I'm watching from Montreal, Canada. I started watching your channel when I was fresh out of high school and living on my own for the first time. I'm now 32 and still watch your videos religiously. I've since gotten married and now have someone to cook for, and he goes crazy for my lentil soup. It's so simple and easy to make and yet he requests it all the time, even during heat waves.
I've been watching since 2015, back when I lived in Italy for a few years. My husband loves your banana bread recipe. I make it whenever we have leftover bananas. I've honestly made more of your recipes than I can count. None of them have let me down. They're all hits! Thank you so much!
Laura, I have been following you for YEARS and your breakfast casserole is now a family tradition every Christmas morning. I stumbled on your video many many years ago when my son was still little. I've been a single parent since he was 3 and wanted to create special traditions of our own for Christmas. Your breakfast casserole is our Christmas tradition. Thank you Laura!
Hi Laura, I've been watching since the beginning. At the time, you were an enthusiastic, new bride, tripping over your words in the most adorable fashion because of your excitement and love of food! You've become more polished over the years, but that same beauty, spirit and passion still shines out from you. I am watching from the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. So many recipes have become favorites, but one recipe we look forward to enjoying every year, is your fried zucchini blossoms - wow, what a treat! It's also such a joy to see your family in your videos at times. Take good care and thank you for being a delightful part of so many lives, including ours.
I am from Alaska! You’ve honestly taught me how to cook since 2011!I found it very easy and not so overwhelming when you prep everything on the counter before cooking and also playing your video recipes every time I cook one of your recipes which is most nights. My family’s favorite recipes of yours is the Fajita Soup, meatloaf, broccoli potato soup, and cheesey bacon ranch dish + a million more. I would LOVE a signed copy of your cook book! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Laura, my youngest son is 20 years old. He said to me a couple months ago, "you haven't made meatloaf and mashed potatoes in years for dinner, and I loved it. Could you please make it." I work 6 days a week, most times 10-12 hr days. But, I felt bad, so last night I made it and he danced a gig 😂 and loved it.
Watching from Queens, NYC! There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of spaghetti and fresh tomato sauce, with lots of parm or romano cheese on top. It is always a hit with my family.
I am from Nova Scotia, Canada and I have been following you on RUclips for about 10 years, maybe more! Time flies! The recipe that changed my Christmas dining experience was your Shrimp & Salmon with cream sauce! When I gave up eating meat, I had no idea how I would replace the traditional turkey dinner for my family. Tried this recipe 3 years ago at Christmas and everyone loved it! Now it’s become our traditional Christmas meal. Thank you Laura! ❤❤❤
Hi Laura, I’ve been watching from Chicago for many years. Thank you for sharing all these recipes with us over the years. Something my fiancé and I have loved to eat since the beginning of our relationship is pasta with a simple home made pomodoro sauce. It is our favourite dish.
Hey Laura, I am from Kansas. You were one of the people who taught me to cook. I’ve been watching you since the beginning. The recipe that always goes over well in our house is Chili Mac. It is the most requested, it is always devoured, and no one ever gets tired of it. 😄 Thank you for the many years of recipes, tips and tricks to make cooking easy, fun and delicious!
I'm from Beatrice, NE. My wife absolutely loves your Marry Me Chicken recipe! I've made it so many times, and she still enjoys it just as much! Thank you for all of your great recipes. My family and I love every one of them!
Hi Laura! I am watching from Napa, CA. I’ve watched your videos for over a decade and always find myself going back to your recipes b/c they are easy to follow, and straight to the point without sacrificing on flavor. My go to recipe that was my “marry-me” moment was actually your sweet and sour chicken recipe from 2019. It tastes like real takeout and is so easy. You have a beautiful family by the way. ❤
Hello Laura! I’m watching from Dallas, Tx since I think, 2014! You were one of the first if not, the first RUclips cooking creator I watched and inspired me to learn to cook. One of the 1st recipes I made was your beef stew recipe! Usually, my husband always says yes to anything pasta but, I always am making your Chicken Alfredo! Another one that we LOVE is from your 1st cookbook is cannellini beans with pancetta and spinach! You’re my go-to for anything I want to make & will make our tummy’s happy!!💛
One recipe that I make that always pleases the crowd is my Bolognese with Pappardelle. I also wanted to let you know that your pizza dough recipe is spot on and we use it every chance we get. Thanks for all the awesome videos, keep em coming.
From Austin, Texas, your green bean casserole with homemade French fried onion strings is a regular dish in our family get togethers and your corn casserole too. So many others you’ve taught me. Thank you!
I’m from Toronto Canada. I’ve been making your red skin mashed potatoes every Thanksgiving for years now. My family requests it. And we now have little kiddos of our own who love it. Thank you ❤
Hello from India! I've been watching you since I was 17 (I turn 28 tomorrow!) and you have taught me EVERYTHING I know about food to the point where during Covid, I was running a little food business to provide homecooked meals to people who could not make food on their own and did not have any help. Also my family finds this very funny but I make better Italian food than Indian because of the influence your channel has had on me. Lots and lots of love to you and your family and thank you for all the wonderful content over the years ♥
I'm from Chihuahua, Mexico. I've been watching you for 12 or 13 years now and always love your recipes! My favorite recipe to make for people are chicken drumsticks, potatoes, carrots, onion, zucchini, some butter and some spicy seasonings baked in the oven until everything is cooked through and soft and delicious!
Hi Laura! I’m watching from Canberra Australia! Which unbeknownst to a lot of people is the capital of Australia haha. I’ve been watching you since I was 12! I needed a quesadilla recipe for my Spanish class all the students were asked to cook a Spanish/mexican dish and I remember coming across your videos and falling in love with the way you cooked and presented your content. I’m 23 now and still watching all your videos! I’d say the dish I make and I known people will love is my chicken biriyani! My family has a very specific way of making it and everyone we feed it to falls in love! (Lemme toot my own horn for a sec 😂) Sending you much love Bek ❤
Ciao Laura i’m from illinois and have been watching your videos since the beginning! i originally started watching due to having so much in common with you! my father grew up in Palermo , got married to my mother who grew up in rome and then they moved to the states from Sicily to start a family and open up a pizza place when they were 18. i worked in the pizza place growing up and i loved that you incorporate both italian and american recipes but love the most that you have such a good relationship with your nonna. it reminds me of my relationship with my nonnina on my mother’s side. i love that you can speak both languages because i always found it hard growing up to find people like me who spoke Sicilian and English! my special thing to cook is (now don’t laugh) pastina. yes very simple but reminds of being a young girl with my nonnina when she would make it for me when i wasn’t feeling well and it always to me is a meal to make someone you love feel better. more of a nostalgic feeling i guess. ❤
Great recipe. Watching from north of Atlanta, GA. My go to (hubby LOVES 🥰 it) is Honey Gochujang Salmon. 3 ingredients and a hit with everyone who tries it.
Im watching for California! Ive been watching you since I was 13 and I fell in love with cooking because of you. My favorite recipe to make is actually yours, the raspberry cupcakes you made 13 years ago. I made them the first time for my grandpa and he loved them so much that on the day of his funeral I made a batch but didn't let anyone eat them because it was only meant for him. :)
I just now made this. Once the chicken was cooking, I proposed to myself. I can’t wait for my hubby to get home and try it. Wow the whole house smells amazing. The dish was heavenly. Thank you!!
I’ve been following since your Chicken Marsala recipe 14 years ago! It was my first time cooking for a large group and I was totally clueless on what to make and soooo intimidated. Your chicken marsala recipe saved me! It came out delicious and everyone loved it. You’ve never strayed me since ❤
I'm from Chicago, IL, and I started watching your videos when I was 13. It's been ten years now, and whenever I need guidance on any cooking I'm doing, your videos are my first stop! I could name thirty recipes that are a staple, but the one that started my cooking journey was your chicken parmesan where you showed how to make marinara from scratch. So simple but so delicious, it's been a staple in my house for 5+ years, made once or twice a month at minimum!
WINNER!! Ahhh I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing! Will you come dm me on instagram (my handle is Mrsvitale) so I can grab your mailing info! RUclips won’t allow DMs anymore 😭 thank youuu!! ❤️❤️
@@LauraintheKitchen Hey Laura! Just wondering if my last message went through? Not sure what happened with the first DM 😞 If not, I’ll ask my sister to DM with our mailing info!
Laura, my family and friends in San Jose, CA love every dish that I got from you. I have been enjoying your channel since 2016, but regularly since 2020. Go to recipes that never fail and earn applause: Salad that rocks my world, raspberry blondies with the lemon curd (I have a Meyer Lemon tree that gives and gives), pork tenderloin with the balsamic and the potatoes. So many more! Thank you for your passion for food.
Hey Laura I'm watching you from NC-originally from Long Island. I started watching you roughly 7 years ago when my husband wanted some homemade caramel sauce. I found your video on RUclips and it's the BEST caramel sauce we've ever had. Since then I've been a fan and have introduced my mother-in-law to your channel. I highly value your recipes and expertise in the kitchen. We enjoy all of your recipes, but the caramel sauce will forever be a family favorite. So thank you for that :0)
I’m from the Niagara Region in Ontario, Canada. I’ve been watching you since 2012 when I was on my first maternity leave.

I’m from NJ! Now living in Orlando, FL. Laura, you taught me how to cook! I’ve been following you for over ten years. Thank you for teaching me to cook bravely ❤. The dish that my husband LOVES is called llapingaucho which is a traditional Ecuadorian recipe 🇪🇨

Laura! My name is Silvana and I’m watching from good ol Chicago IL! I’ve been watching you for years and love all of your recipes. Not only that I love your personality and the funny comments you make. The one recipe that is a hit is my Pasta Arrabiata with Ricotta. I make it with fresh tomato and basil from my dads garden! Super easy and delicious all the time. I would love to have your recipe book on hand and even if I don’t win I will definitely be purchasing. Much love! 🇮🇹🙏
Hi Laura! I'm watching from Montreal, Canada. I am so thrilled to read all the beautiful comments from your fans. It is absolutely amazing! I love your recipes with all my heart. I have followed your channel on RUclips for 10 years! The same amount of time I've lived in Canada since I emigrated alone from Cuba, and I've learned almost everything I know now in the art of cooking thanks to you. My mum used to tell me to come watch and cook together with her so I learn and wouldn't starve in Canada, lol, to which I used to reply:" its ok mum, I will find a way", and I did, I found you! Always been a fan of italian cuisine, who isn't? One of my favorite disches is cheesy potato and broccoli soup. Yummy, specially on those chili days ❤ Thank you so much for all these years of delicious recipies accompanied by so much love and charisma ❤
It’s 702 Friday, August 9, 2024. Laura, I have been watching you. I believe when you first started, you are a breath of fresh air and very enjoyable to watch. I love that you explain everything I guess one of my favorite recipes is the cheesecake, I make it every Christmas. Love to have the latest cookbook!
I’m a Rhode Islander living in Melbourne Australia and my favorite recipe is your pizza dough which I make once a month and it reminds me of the pizzas from home. Been following your journey for more than 10 years, I’d love your latest book!
I’m watching from AR, US! An oldie but goodie is the garlic and brown sugar prom chops. I’ve used it for many years now and it never fails me. I cook it regularly for my family and others and it never fails. The chops are never dry, which is easy to do and it’s just tasty. Thank you for all of your videos and recipes!
I’m from Chanhassen, Minnesota. Every year for Christmas, I make a double or triple batch of your Snowball Cookies. When I make them, they do not last long. Everyone I know, my family, my friends, and my colleagues all love them! It is such a joy to invite you to our Christmas table, Laura! Thank you!
I’m from Toronto Canada and the recipe (by far), that my husband asks for all the time is my chilli! You can’t beat it with some sour cream, cheddar cheese and some crusty bread 🍲
Hello, I'm watching from Winnipeg, Canada. and OMG I made your marry-me chicken and loved it and now I know what I'm making for dinner tomorrow! i feel like I've been watching you forever, you taught me a lot of the basic cooking skills I still use today. i remember my sisters and i first watched your fettuccine alfredo video from like 10+ years ago (which is mind-blowing to think of) and loved it. i still make that recipe today and love it. the one recipe that i can make and everyone loves it is my butter chicken. my dad taught me how to make it every time i make it, everyone loves it. it's not something i make often but when i do it's always a big hit! Anyway, i love your videos! i hope you continue to share your awesome recipes!
Staple for my family and friends is your Italian butter cookies, Italian Easter bread and your spinach turkey burgers! Every recipe I make of yours is always phenomenal!❤
This looks absolutely delicious. I will make for sure! For me pizza is always something the entire family loves. Thanks for having the contest and all you have taught!
Hi Laura! I've been watching you for about 8 years from PA and now from NJ and my family loves all of your recipes. Their all time favorites are the Italian beef sandwiches and the Creamy chicken and rice soup. I make both frequently and make extra because the leftovers are amazing! Thank you for sharing your life and recipes with us 😊
Southern California. I started to cook when my mom got sick , and I became thrust into the matriarch role I would watch cooking network but stumbled on your RUclips channel . Thank you for all the wonderful recipes and family fun. My one go to for my family is roast chicken and vegetables .
Used to watch you from Pakistan. Moved to England and still come back to your videos years later. The one dish I love to cook is pasta, its a comfort meal for me and my sis. It's a ritual that one of us makes it at 2 in the morning after a mental breakdown and then we talk and watch tv as we eat ❤
Gosh which recipe of yours does my family love, well they are too numerous to mention. You have an abundance of recipes & I thank you from the bottom of my heart Ms. Vitale. You do great work. Have a nice summer.
Hi Laura, I’m from Toronto, Canada! Been a fan of yours for years and years! And the recipe that is always a crowd pleaser is your focaccia! Everyone goes crazy for it!! Grazie mille! 😘
Hi Laura, my name is Laura from Trinidad, the recipe that I’m known for at every event it is one of yours it is your garlic knots I discovered so many years ago when I stumbled across your channel and it’s still going strong.
Laura....girl! I've been watching since your first kitchen in your old house! The little burner on the counter, all the shelving over in the corner with all your "stuff". Changing the flowers in the "window" with the seasons. So many recipes of yours I've tried from your website and first cookbook (with the boilerplate). I'll never forget making your pastiera for Easter after hunting down the Grana Cotto! Loved it and still make it when I can find the grana. All long before Mia Valentina came along! ❤ I'm still here north of you in New Hampshire lovin every video!
I’m from upstate New York! My favorite dish to make is Pho. I’m Vietnamese, and in my culture, you show the people you love by filling up their bellies! I love Pho because you can make a whole pot of it and feed so many people! My fiancé loves the dish as well! ❤
My four-year-old granddaughter wants to always have me make her tortellini with Alfredo sauce whether it’s Tuesday night or Christmas dinner. It is on the table if she’s coming over. And now she makes it with me.
Watching from Northern Virginia. My one certain-to-please recipe is actually your chicken and dumplings recipe from years ago. It is so delicious and comforting, and the dumplings are pillowy and light. Just perfection!!
Omg I randomly remembered Laura today, I used to binge watch her over 10 years ago and haven’t watched her videos for a long time now and I’m so delighted to see that she is still doing videos and remained as authentic as I remember her, even the little outro at the end, so nostalgic 😭
Greetings from Turkey. Years and years ago I found your osso bucco and risotto recipe and cooked them for our wedding anniversary. Since then they are the dishes I'm famous for.
Watching from CA and my roommate LOVES the chicken Alfredo recipe that I made thanks to you and also the marry me chicken is also a favorite!!! Thank you so much for your recipes!!! ❤
Hi Laura, I’ve been watching you since your beginning and now both my girls (4 and 7) love you and your recipes - they actually fight to watch your videos! I’m originally from the US relocated to Australia and been here for years! One of the meals I made my husband (for his birthday) in the very beginning of our marriage (been 14 years now) :) - that he loved was a garlic chicken with mushroom sauce over a bed of mashed potatoes. He loved it! He hadn’t ever had anything like it before being from Pakistan originally. It was yum! :) love you girl! Your recipes are my go to and have the most flavour to all chefs out there! I get so many compliments and always let them peeps know where the love came from! ;) God bless!
I'm watching from Seattle, WA. And a recipe that I love to make is a family recipe that reminds me of my dad. It was a spicy recipe with peas. I make it similar to Mexican rice where I toast the rice, then add some tomato bouillon, then add the peas and spicy red sauce and let it simmer low and slow. It's so good and I absolutely love it! I love making this recipe to remind me of my dad, culture and parents.
Hi! I’m watching from California! The one thing I make that everyone loves is my grandmothers pasta salad. It’s full of veggies, salami, pepperoni, and cheese in an Italian dressing. It’s so good it doesn’t last long once made.
So me and my wife are from a small town south of Windsor Ontario...our soil here out of this world for fruits and vegetables 💯...the first time I ever cooked for my love I was a bit nervous...so I checked on RUclips for a good recipe...and I found your channel( you made meatballs) so I followed your directions and boom she was impressed 😎...it's been 11 years now and we both love watching your show immensely 🙏...thank you so much for sharing you with all of us ❤

Your Italian family values are near & dear to my heart and watching you with your Nonna never fails to bring a tear to my eye, reminds me of my mom & my nonna.

Also the ones with you working beside your grandmother.

Mia nonna italiana and my mom are both polenta masters... but it was through you that I learned how to perfect the ragu sauce! ❤
I am in Decatur, IL. My children which are grown, married and have children of their own love when I make a beef vegetable stir fry. My mom who just passed away loved it too. They all like my goulash too lol. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. God Bless

Hi Laura! My 15 year old son and I watch from NC. My husband was NY Italian but he died when my son was 5. We keep his memory alive by making Italian at least twice/week but his favorite is Sunday Sauce with Meatballs. My son is learning to be a good cook for his family someday.❤
I’m from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’ve been watching you for years and you’ve taught me so much. I can’t wait until my baby girl is old enough to help me in the kitchen and make your recipes (she’s only 5 months old now). My favorite recipe to make for someone is homemade chicken noodle soup 😊
Hi Laura! I'm from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I've been watching your channel since I was a teen, and now I'm 30 years old. I love to cook! A recipe that my family loves is fricase de pollo. I love your pasta recipes❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge all these years.

Mrs Vitale
I've been with you for nearly 10yrs
I stumbled upon your channel to figure out how to make beef stew. My family made fun of me (even my 3yrs old at the time) relentlessly because I was such a terrible cook. I tried so hard but nothing ever came out right. Fast foreward to now. I'm asked to cook for my family holidays. Middle child of seven kids. That's a pretty impressive honor conscidering where I started. I owe it all to you! You gave me the confidence to try out new recipes. Ones my family stands by to this day. I make dozens of your recipes and WELL! We have your shredded italian beef for New Years Day every year. My daughters favourite food. She has called it all the years Italian Wedding Sandwiches. At that time your Italian Wedding Soup was my life. And still is. I have 2 quarts in the freezer at all times.
We love you. I adore you!
Whenever your older intro of "Hi guys, I'm Laura Vitale" would be heard my entire house would echo it back. Cause moms watching Laura again lol🤍
Thanks for all you have given me
Confidence in the kitchen and my happy place!
Fort Saskatchewan, Ab🇨🇦
I'm from Toronto, Canada and I've probably been following you on RUclips since before the other social media outlets even existed. Over 15 maybe even 20 yrs (I've lost count lol). The very first recipe I made from you from back in the day started with something super easy and they were butter cookies. They were SEN-SA-TIONAL! 😅 But the one recipe my family asks for at every single holiday gathering is by far the tirimisu. I make it at least 4-5 times a year and everytime I do it's a hit. In our culture when someone praises you for your food and if it was taught by someone else, you're always supposed to say a small prayer for them so Laura, know that you're prayed for alot around here! You have brought people all over the world together for so many years over food and food is love. ❤❤❤❤
you are so cute 💗
That's beautiful!❤
dont lie bro
Oh. Hope its not a muslim prayer. 😮
I hope Laura reads your message 🙏
Been watching for 10 years and she hasnt aged at all!!
Laura, I’ve been watching you since I was 14 years old and I’m 30 now cooking for my own family! You taught me EVERYTHING. I can’t thank you enough. Not just recipes to use but you taught me techniques and how much salt to use, etc. Your videos are gold. I would pay for these videos!! I’ve been a member on your membership channel since it became available and love those too! A recipe I make for my family ALOT is your simple chicken quesadillas. My kids love them. Serve with some sour cream to dip and some tortilla chips and salsa. It’s something I can whip up quickly and has protein, veg, carb. Delish!!! Love you so much Laura!!!!
I'm from Toronto, Canada!! The one recipe I can make for people that they love is the bolognese recipe my dad taught me when I was younger. It always makes him smile when I make it and perfect it
Listen lady! I’m from the south! Here in Mississippi we don’t get too many true Italian recipes to share. I absolutely positively swear by Laura Vitale’s recipes. I have cooked your Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken recipe sooooo many times that my daughter’s new boyfriend has already considered putting a ring on it! 😂 Around here, we love good food! Thank you ever so much for sharing your lovely recipes. ❤
The best cooking channel can vary based on what you’re looking for: easy recipes, gourmet cooking, or learning specific techniques. Here are some top options for different needs Our master chefs are sharing free recipes
I live in WA, USA and am originally from Vietnam. I have been watching you since I studied abroad in the States, so from 17 to 30 now. I love your channel and I am pretty sure my whole family knows about it. Not only I love your recipes, but also my family does. I also share your recipes with my family and friends due to the easy comprehension and the simplification you make so everyone can follow. Among all your wonderful recipes, the recipe that I like the most is beef Wellington. Thanks to you, we do not need to go to expensive restaurants to enjoy the dish. I had tried other recipes, but they do require a lot of techniques and efforts. The way you break down the recipe as well as your detailed instruction makes my life easier. When I made the dish on Valentines, my husband fell in love with it and he devoured half of the beef :))))
I've been watching you from New York since I was 16! The one recipe of yours that my husband and his family look forward to every year is your honey glazed ham! I didn’t grow up eating ham, but when I got married and was tasked with making a ham for my first Thanksgiving, I used your recipe. For two kids who didn’t even know how to pick a ham or how to properly place it in the baking dish, your recipe and video made it so stress-free. Last year, I didn’t host Thanksgiving, and I still hear to this day how we're never not hosting again because the ham was so missed. We met a few years ago in Disney, and we chatted about how you really helped me learn to cook! You’re the sweetest and so beautiful!
I'm from California and I started watching you 7 years ago as a newlywed and new mommy and your recipes have been my go to since then! I love making your chicken tortilla recipe for my husband and my kiddos! Anytime I don't have motivation to cook or run out of ideas, I can't go wrong with the tortilla soup. 😋 I've made it for my in laws and parents and everyone loves it!😊
I never skipped any of your videos, Laura and have been your follower for years now. My husband and my team (I’m a manager) know you too coz of me and never stopped talking about you. You have inspired me to cook, experiment, not be scared in perfection, and try new things. I am from the Philippines and the very first recipe I tried from you was your Monte Cristo. That was yearsss back, 9 years ago, I know but it has become one of our favs. ❤
Laura, I've beed watching your videos from Slovenia (a country next to Italy) for about 12 years now. I love your spirit, energy and of course your recipes! I think your recipes greatly affected my everyday cooking, and you are an inspiration to so many of us!
Houston, Texas, hon! And your cinnamon roll recipe was my dear, late dad's FAVORITE!! His face would light up every time he smelled them baking ❤!!! And this dad's girl considered it pure joy to make treats for the best dad in the world ❤
Houston here as well!
I am Priyaka I am 22 years old and I am from Hong Kong. I have been watching your videos since I was 15 and never looked back. You are the reason why I had the courage to start cooking. I dared to make your Shepherds Pie and that is everyone’s all time favorite. It does take time to make but it is so worth it! Thank you for giving me the courage to start cooking and enjoying it! I will forever be a fan!😊
I'm from Las Cruces, New Mexico. I'm 64 and have been watching you for over 10 years! The dish that everyone loves is Lasagna! I was thrilled when you put up recipes with cookie butter! I had never had it! Your Biscoff Cheesecake is so delicious!!! I have a sever nut allergy and this is something I can enjoy! Thank you! I've made it for potlucks at work and even made them in a muffin tin for individual servings! Thank you, Laura, keep up the good work!
I'm watching from Montreal, Canada. I started watching your channel when I was fresh out of high school and living on my own for the first time. I'm now 32 and still watch your videos religiously. I've since gotten married and now have someone to cook for, and he goes crazy for my lentil soup. It's so simple and easy to make and yet he requests it all the time, even during heat waves.
I've been watching since 2015, back when I lived in Italy for a few years. My husband loves your banana bread recipe. I make it whenever we have leftover bananas. I've honestly made more of your recipes than I can count. None of them have let me down. They're all hits! Thank you so much!
Laura, I have been following you for YEARS and your breakfast casserole is now a family tradition every Christmas morning. I stumbled on your video many many years ago when my son was still little. I've been a single parent since he was 3 and wanted to create special traditions of our own for Christmas. Your breakfast casserole is our Christmas tradition. Thank you Laura!
Hi Laura, I've been watching since the beginning. At the time, you were an enthusiastic, new bride, tripping over your words in the most adorable fashion because of your excitement and love of food! You've become more polished over the years, but that same beauty, spirit and passion still shines out from you. I am watching from the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. So many recipes have become favorites, but one recipe we look forward to enjoying every year, is your fried zucchini blossoms - wow, what a treat! It's also such a joy to see your family in your videos at times. Take good care and thank you for being a delightful part of so many lives, including ours.
I am from Alaska! You’ve honestly taught me how to cook since 2011!I found it very easy and not so overwhelming when you prep everything on the counter before cooking and also playing your video recipes every time I cook one of your recipes which is most nights. My family’s favorite recipes of yours is the Fajita Soup, meatloaf, broccoli potato soup, and cheesey bacon ranch dish + a million more. I would LOVE a signed copy of your cook book! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Laura, my youngest son is 20 years old. He said to me a couple months ago, "you haven't made meatloaf and mashed potatoes in years for dinner, and I loved it. Could you please make it." I work 6 days a week, most times 10-12 hr days. But, I felt bad, so last night I made it and he danced a gig 😂 and loved it.
What a wonderful mother you are. He’s a lucky boy! ❤
Watching from Queens, NYC! There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of spaghetti and fresh tomato sauce, with lots of parm or romano cheese on top. It is always a hit with my family.
I am from Nova Scotia, Canada and I have been following you on RUclips for about 10 years, maybe more! Time flies!
The recipe that changed my Christmas dining experience was your Shrimp & Salmon with cream sauce! When I gave up eating meat, I had no idea how I would replace the traditional turkey dinner for my family. Tried this recipe 3 years ago at Christmas and everyone loved it! Now it’s become our traditional Christmas meal. Thank you Laura! ❤❤❤
Hi Laura, I’ve been watching from Chicago for many years. Thank you for sharing all these recipes with us over the years. Something my fiancé and I have loved to eat since the beginning of our relationship is pasta with a simple home made pomodoro sauce. It is our favourite dish.
Hey Laura, I am from Kansas. You were one of the people who taught me to cook. I’ve been watching you since the beginning. The recipe that always goes over well in our house is Chili Mac. It is the most requested, it is always devoured, and no one ever gets tired of it. 😄 Thank you for the many years of recipes, tips and tricks to make cooking easy, fun and delicious!
I'm from Beatrice, NE. My wife absolutely loves your Marry Me Chicken recipe! I've made it so many times, and she still enjoys it just as much! Thank you for all of your great recipes. My family and I love every one of them!
Hi Laura! I am watching from Napa, CA. I’ve watched your videos for over a decade and always find myself going back to your recipes b/c they are easy to follow, and straight to the point without sacrificing on flavor. My go to recipe that was my “marry-me” moment was actually your sweet and sour chicken recipe from 2019. It tastes like real takeout and is so easy. You have a beautiful family by the way. ❤
Hello Laura!
I’m watching from Dallas, Tx since I think, 2014! You were one of the first if not, the first RUclips cooking creator I watched and inspired me to learn to cook. One of the 1st recipes I made was your beef stew recipe!
Usually, my husband always says yes to anything pasta but, I always am making your Chicken Alfredo!
Another one that we LOVE is from your 1st cookbook is cannellini beans with pancetta and spinach! You’re my go-to for anything I want to make & will make our tummy’s happy!!💛
One recipe that I make that always pleases the crowd is my Bolognese with Pappardelle. I also wanted to let you know that your pizza dough recipe is spot on and we use it every chance we get. Thanks for all the awesome videos, keep em coming.
From Austin, Texas, your green bean casserole with homemade French fried onion strings is a regular dish in our family get togethers and your corn casserole too. So many others you’ve taught me. Thank you!
I’m from Toronto Canada. I’ve been making your red skin mashed potatoes every Thanksgiving for years now. My family requests it. And we now have little kiddos of our own who love it. Thank you ❤
I love cooking French onion soup for my grandmother who has cancer always cheers her up
Hello from India! I've been watching you since I was 17 (I turn 28 tomorrow!) and you have taught me EVERYTHING I know about food to the point where during Covid, I was running a little food business to provide homecooked meals to people who could not make food on their own and did not have any help. Also my family finds this very funny but I make better Italian food than Indian because of the influence your channel has had on me. Lots and lots of love to you and your family and thank you for all the wonderful content over the years ♥
I'm from Chihuahua, Mexico. I've been watching you for 12 or 13 years now and always love your recipes! My favorite recipe to make for people are chicken drumsticks, potatoes, carrots, onion, zucchini, some butter and some spicy seasonings baked in the oven until everything is cooked through and soft and delicious!
Watching from Michigan! I love making my grannies recipe of stuffed cabbage ❤
Thank you for sharing so many wonderful dishes! ❤️
Hi Laura! I’m watching from Canberra Australia! Which unbeknownst to a lot of people is the capital of Australia haha. I’ve been watching you since I was 12! I needed a quesadilla recipe for my Spanish class all the students were asked to cook a Spanish/mexican dish and I remember coming across your videos and falling in love with the way you cooked and presented your content. I’m 23 now and still watching all your videos!
I’d say the dish I make and I known people will love is my chicken biriyani! My family has a very specific way of making it and everyone we feed it to falls in love! (Lemme toot my own horn for a sec 😂)
Sending you much love
Bek ❤
Ciao Laura i’m from illinois and have been watching your videos since the beginning! i originally started watching due to having so much in common with you! my father grew up in Palermo , got married to my mother who grew up in rome and then they moved to the states from Sicily to start a family and open up a pizza place when they were 18. i worked in the pizza place growing up and i loved that you incorporate both italian and american recipes but love the most that you have such a good relationship with your nonna. it reminds me of my relationship with my nonnina on my mother’s side. i love that you can speak both languages because i always found it hard growing up to find people like me who spoke Sicilian and English! my special thing to cook is (now don’t laugh) pastina. yes very simple but reminds of being a young girl with my nonnina when she would make it for me when i wasn’t feeling well and it always to me is a meal to make someone you love feel better. more of a nostalgic feeling i guess. ❤
Great recipe. Watching from north of Atlanta, GA. My go to (hubby LOVES 🥰 it) is Honey Gochujang Salmon. 3 ingredients and a hit with everyone who tries it.
Im watching for California! Ive been watching you since I was 13 and I fell in love with cooking because of you. My favorite recipe to make is actually yours, the raspberry cupcakes you made 13 years ago. I made them the first time for my grandpa and he loved them so much that on the day of his funeral I made a batch but didn't let anyone eat them because it was only meant for him. :)
I just now made this. Once the chicken was cooking, I proposed to myself. I can’t wait for my hubby to get home and try it. Wow the whole house smells amazing. The dish was heavenly. Thank you!!
I’ve been following since your Chicken Marsala recipe 14 years ago! It was my first time cooking for a large group and I was totally clueless on what to make and soooo intimidated. Your chicken marsala recipe saved me! It came out delicious and everyone loved it. You’ve never strayed me since ❤
I'm from Chicago, IL, and I started watching your videos when I was 13. It's been ten years now, and whenever I need guidance on any cooking I'm doing, your videos are my first stop! I could name thirty recipes that are a staple, but the one that started my cooking journey was your chicken parmesan where you showed how to make marinara from scratch. So simple but so delicious, it's been a staple in my house for 5+ years, made once or twice a month at minimum!
WINNER!! Ahhh I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing! Will you come dm me on instagram (my handle is Mrsvitale) so I can grab your mailing info! RUclips won’t allow DMs anymore 😭 thank youuu!! ❤️❤️
@@LauraintheKitchen Hi Laura! Thank you so much! I'm so excited to have your cookbook! I've sent you a DM request on Instagram :)
Hi there! Do you mind re dm me on IG please because I can’t find your message anywhere
@@LauraintheKitchen Hi Laura! I was unable to send another DM but I responded to one of your stories so I hope that went through!
@@LauraintheKitchen Hey Laura! Just wondering if my last message went through? Not sure what happened with the first DM 😞 If not, I’ll ask my sister to DM with our mailing info!
Laura, my family and friends in San Jose, CA love every dish that I got from you. I have been enjoying your channel since 2016, but regularly since 2020. Go to recipes that never fail and earn applause: Salad that rocks my world, raspberry blondies with the lemon curd (I have a Meyer Lemon tree that gives and gives), pork tenderloin with the balsamic and the potatoes. So many more! Thank you for your passion for food.
Hey Laura I'm watching you from NC-originally from Long Island. I started watching you roughly 7 years ago when my husband wanted some homemade caramel sauce. I found your video on RUclips and it's the BEST caramel sauce we've ever had. Since then I've been a fan and have introduced my mother-in-law to your channel. I highly value your recipes and expertise in the kitchen. We enjoy all of your recipes, but the caramel sauce will forever be a family favorite. So thank you for that :0)
I’m from the Niagara Region in Ontario, Canada. I’ve been watching you since 2012 when I was on my first maternity leave. The recipe that my husband and 3 boys absolutely love is your rigatoni pepperonata! It’s been a favourite here for years!

From Maryland. I’m Sicilian. The recipe that make is pasta with meat sauce. My Mom show my a few different versions and all are popular with everyone. In the cold months I make it every Sunday like she always did ❤️
Laura! My name is Silvana and I’m watching from good ol Chicago IL! I’ve been watching you for years and love all of your recipes. Not only that I love your personality and the funny comments you make. The one recipe that is a hit is my Pasta Arrabiata with Ricotta. I make it with fresh tomato and basil from my dads garden! Super easy and delicious all the time. I would love to have your recipe book on hand and even if I don’t win I will definitely be purchasing. Much love! 🇮🇹🙏
I’ve been watching from Montreal, Canada for over 10 years! The recipe I’ve made for a loved one that I know will never go wrong are chicken cutlets!
Hi Laura! I'm watching from Montreal, Canada. I am so thrilled to read all the beautiful comments from your fans. It is absolutely amazing! I love your recipes with all my heart. I have followed your channel on RUclips for 10 years! The same amount of time I've lived in Canada since I emigrated alone from Cuba, and I've learned almost everything I know now in the art of cooking thanks to you. My mum used to tell me to come watch and cook together with her so I learn and wouldn't starve in Canada, lol, to which I used to reply:" its ok mum, I will find a way", and I did, I found you! Always been a fan of italian cuisine, who isn't? One of my favorite disches is cheesy potato and broccoli soup. Yummy, specially on those chili days ❤ Thank you so much for all these years of delicious recipies accompanied by so much love and charisma ❤
It’s 702 Friday, August 9, 2024. Laura, I have been watching you. I believe when you first started, you are a breath of fresh air and very enjoyable to watch. I love that you explain everything I guess one of my favorite recipes is the cheesecake, I make it every Christmas.
Love to have the latest cookbook!
I’m a Rhode Islander living in Melbourne Australia and my favorite recipe is your pizza dough which I make once a month and it reminds me of the pizzas from home. Been following your journey for more than 10 years, I’d love your latest book!
I’m watching from AR, US! An oldie but goodie is the garlic and brown sugar prom chops. I’ve used it for many years now and it never fails me. I cook it regularly for my family and others and it never fails. The chops are never dry, which is easy to do and it’s just tasty. Thank you for all of your videos and recipes!
I’m from Chanhassen, Minnesota. Every year for Christmas, I make a double or triple batch of your Snowball Cookies. When I make them, they do not last long. Everyone I know, my family, my friends, and my colleagues all love them! It is such a joy to invite you to our Christmas table, Laura! Thank you!
I’m from Toronto Canada and the recipe (by far), that my husband asks for all the time is my chilli! You can’t beat it with some sour cream, cheddar cheese and some crusty bread 🍲
Hello, I'm watching from Winnipeg, Canada. and OMG I made your marry-me chicken and loved it and now I know what I'm making for dinner tomorrow!
i feel like I've been watching you forever, you taught me a lot of the basic cooking skills I still use today. i remember my sisters and i first watched your fettuccine alfredo video from like 10+ years ago (which is mind-blowing to think of) and loved it. i still make that recipe today and love it.
the one recipe that i can make and everyone loves it is my butter chicken. my dad taught me how to make it every time i make it, everyone loves it. it's not something i make often but when i do it's always a big hit!
Anyway, i love your videos! i hope you continue to share your awesome recipes!
Staple for my family and friends is your Italian butter cookies, Italian Easter bread and your spinach turkey burgers! Every recipe I make of yours is always phenomenal!❤
This looks absolutely delicious. I will make for sure! For me pizza is always something the entire family loves. Thanks for having the contest and all you have taught!
Hi Laura! I've been watching you for about 8 years from PA and now from NJ and my family loves all of your recipes. Their all time favorites are the Italian beef sandwiches and the Creamy chicken and rice soup. I make both frequently and make extra because the leftovers are amazing! Thank you for sharing your life and recipes with us 😊
Southern California. I started to cook when my mom got sick , and I became thrust into the matriarch role I would watch cooking network but stumbled on your RUclips channel . Thank you for all the wonderful recipes and family fun. My one go to for my family is roast chicken and vegetables .
Used to watch you from Pakistan. Moved to England and still come back to your videos years later. The one dish I love to cook is pasta, its a comfort meal for me and my sis. It's a ritual that one of us makes it at 2 in the morning after a mental breakdown and then we talk and watch tv as we eat ❤
Gosh which recipe of yours does my family love, well they are too numerous to mention. You have an abundance of recipes & I thank you from the bottom of my heart Ms. Vitale. You do great work. Have a nice summer.
Hi Laura, I’m from Toronto, Canada! Been a fan of yours for years and years! And the recipe that is always a crowd pleaser is your focaccia! Everyone goes crazy for it!! Grazie mille! 😘
Hi Laura, my name is Laura from Trinidad, the recipe that I’m known for at every event it is one of yours it is your garlic knots I discovered so many years ago when I stumbled across your channel and it’s still going strong.
Laura....girl! I've been watching since your first kitchen in your old house! The little burner on the counter, all the shelving over in the corner with all your "stuff". Changing the flowers in the "window" with the seasons. So many recipes of yours I've tried from your website and first cookbook (with the boilerplate). I'll never forget making your pastiera for Easter after hunting down the Grana Cotto! Loved it and still make it when I can find the grana. All long before Mia Valentina came along! ❤ I'm still here north of you in New Hampshire lovin every video!
Laura I love when you give us these delicious pasta recipes. Thank you very much appreciate it
Laura I watch your videos from nevada and when I cook I usually make pasta recipes. My pasta salad recipes are awesome
I’m from upstate New York! My favorite dish to make is Pho. I’m Vietnamese, and in my culture, you show the people you love by filling up their bellies! I love Pho because you can make a whole pot of it and feed so many people! My fiancé loves the dish as well! ❤
My four-year-old granddaughter wants to always have me make her tortellini with Alfredo sauce whether it’s Tuesday night or Christmas dinner. It is on the table if she’s coming over. And now she makes it with me.
Watching from Northern Virginia. My one certain-to-please recipe is actually your chicken and dumplings recipe from years ago. It is so delicious and comforting, and the dumplings are pillowy and light. Just perfection!!
Omg I randomly remembered Laura today, I used to binge watch her over 10 years ago and haven’t watched her videos for a long time now and I’m so delighted to see that she is still doing videos and remained as authentic as I remember her, even the little outro at the end, so nostalgic 😭
Greetings from Turkey. Years and years ago I found your osso bucco and risotto recipe and cooked them for our wedding anniversary. Since then they are the dishes I'm famous for.
Watching from CA and my roommate LOVES the chicken Alfredo recipe that I made thanks to you and also the marry me chicken is also a favorite!!! Thank you so much for your recipes!!! ❤
Hi Laura,
I’ve been watching you since your beginning and now both my girls (4 and 7) love you and your recipes - they actually fight to watch your videos! I’m originally from the US relocated to Australia and been here for years!
One of the meals I made my husband (for his birthday) in the very beginning of our marriage (been 14 years now) :) - that he loved was a garlic chicken with mushroom sauce over a bed of mashed potatoes. He loved it! He hadn’t ever had anything like it before being from Pakistan originally. It was yum! :) love you girl! Your recipes are my go to and have the most flavour to all chefs out there! I get so many compliments and always let them peeps know where the love came from! ;) God bless!
From Denmark, I dont cook, but I like watching people who are good at it cook. My husband makes a mean lasagne.😊
I'm watching from Seattle, WA. And a recipe that I love to make is a family recipe that reminds me of my dad. It was a spicy recipe with peas. I make it similar to Mexican rice where I toast the rice, then add some tomato bouillon, then add the peas and spicy red sauce and let it simmer low and slow. It's so good and I absolutely love it! I love making this recipe to remind me of my dad, culture and parents.
Hi! I’m watching from California! The one thing I make that everyone loves is my grandmothers pasta salad. It’s full of veggies, salami, pepperoni, and cheese in an Italian dressing. It’s so good it doesn’t last long once made.
So me and my wife are from a small town south of Windsor Ontario...our soil here out of this world for fruits and vegetables 💯...the first time I ever cooked for my love I was a bit nervous...so I checked on RUclips for a good recipe...and I found your channel( you made meatballs) so I followed your directions and boom she was impressed 😎...it's been 11 years now and we both love watching your show immensely 🙏...thank you so much for sharing you with all of us ❤
Hi Laura! Macomb, Michigan here. I’ve lost count of how many years I’ve been following you and love all your recipes! Some of the big hits in my family are Penne with Vodka Sauce, Limoncello Tiramisu, Strawberry Shortcake Coffee Cake, Best Blueberry Muffins, of course Cinnamon Rolls, and many, many more. Your Italian family values are near & dear to my heart and watching you with your Nonna never fails to bring a tear to my eye, reminds me of my mom & my nonna. Keep going and I, like millions of others will continue to follow! OH, and let’s not forget my grandkids favorite, GARLIC KNOTS!! We have so much fun making them together! Love you Mrs. Vitale! 😘😋
Hi Laura, you are my #1 RUclips cooking channel! I watch all your videos when they come out!
I'm in Massachusetts and most recently I made your lemon meatballs for my loved ones and they gobbled it all up! Zero leftovers!
Hi Laura! My 11yr old daughter & I have been watching you for almost 5 yrs in Jersey ❤️

CIAO FROM BRAZIL! Hi Laura! I've been watching you for over 10 years now and your channel was my introduction to cooking. I'm forever grateful for this! My most loved recipe is polenta with beef ragu, I truly cannot control myself around this dish! Mia nonna italiana and my mom are both polenta masters... but it was through you that I learned how to perfect the ragu sauce! ❤
I am in Decatur, IL. My children which are grown, married and have children of their own love when I make a beef vegetable stir fry. My mom who just passed away loved it too. They all like my goulash too lol. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. God Bless
