My kid's summer cooking camps are among my sweetest memories. They were the BEST! Get your kid's in the kitchen this summer, they'll love you for it. I promise💛👩‍🍳

This home has been a cherished gathering place for our family and friends. Many of you have cooked with me here and know how special it is. Step inside and you're immediately drawn to its one-of-a-kind allure. It's idyllic in summer, with the backyard in full bloom, sun kissed days, and cotton candy evening skies. If you're aware of anyone seeking a haven in the Texas Hill Country, please share this rare opportunity. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1993-Pinotage-New-Braunfels-TX-78132/196734264_zpid/?utm_campaign=androidappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

Happy Mother’s Day to the ones who carry it all with grace, strength, and endless love. From the quiet sacrifices to the countless ways you hold your families together, you are deeply appreciated and so very loved. Today we celebrate the incredible women who make the world warmer, stronger, and more beautiful. 💐💖

My sweet mama is 80! What a beautiful afternoon celebrating her at the stunning Untamed Wine Estates. She was surrounded by friends, laughter, and so much love!

Golden, fluffy, and delicately sweet, Tsoureki is a beautiful tradition baked with love. Infused with warm notes of orange, mahlepi, and a hint of spice, this braided bread is as meaningful as it is delicious—perfect for sharing around the Easter table. It wouldn't be Easter for me without this bread!
(Ground fennel is a good sub for the mahlepi)

From childhood to now...
my love for being in the kitchen has only grown deeper with each chapter in my culinary journey!💛👩‍🍳

If you've ever wanted to Cook with Nicole, May is absolutely the month to do it. We're only hosting two classes in May, but the theme will be unforgettable. Classes will drop Thursday, March 19th at 3:30. Mark you calendars! We hope to see you in the kitchen!

Nearly nine months after the devastating July 4th floods in Kerrville, the need in our Hill Country community is still very real. That’s why I continue volunteering with Mercy Chefs in the Kerrville area.
Mercy Chefs serves chef-prepared, restaurant-quality meals to families, first responders, and volunteers who are still working hard to rebuild and recover. What amazes me most is the heart behind it all—talented chefs and volunteers from all over coming together to cook, serve, and love on a community that still needs support.
If you’ve ever thought about helping, this is such a meaningful way to do it. Mercy Chefs is always looking for volunteers, and I promise you… it’s an experience that will fill your heart as much as the meals fill plates.

Cooking is supposed to be fun… right? In my world, it absolutely is! 🎉
We had some fantastic classes this week with our Thai with a Texas Twist theme, and the menu was seriously delicious. Bold flavors, a little creativity, and lots of great energy in the kitchen made it a blast.
✨ May’s classes drop next week, and trust me—you won’t want to miss them!
