Nikoli's Kitchen

Hello everyone and welcome to another new episode of Nikoli's Kitchen! In this week's episode I'll spend some time talking about accountability and trusting ourselves when we fall off that horse to get back on it. I'm also breaking down an entire weekend's worth of meals from Valentine's Day weekend with Rebecca! I hope that you had an amazing weekend whether you celebrated with a loved one, a friend, or alone. Just remember that you are amazing. Thank you so much for going on this journey...

Good morning everyone and welcome to another brand new Quick Bite! This one is all for Rebecca as, not wanting to have a third pizza a few weekends ago, she pulled up a recipe for "Chrusties," which was her favorite snack made by Chancey's- a pizzeria in Radford, VA back when she attended Radford University. The ultimate late-night bite for college kids, it's sort of like if you make a pizza like a cinnamon roll- and the results are PHENOMENAL! Crispy and packed with flavor and cheesy...

Hello and welcome back to a FULL episode of Nikoli's Kitchen and the arrival of the long-promised Random Recipe Challenge, where I take ingredients submitted by listeners and fans of the show and turn them into a dish. This inaugural challenge sees me making a "relish" of sorts for the first time ever using mango & ginger, and putting hot dogs in a risotto. The result was actually not as bad as you'd think! Before I get there though, I talk for a bit about why I've been absent and what's...

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Nikoli's Kitchen! This week I didn't do a lot of cooking, and in preparation for the holidays it has me reflecting on why I began this weight loss journey I'm on 18+ months ago, and why there's still so much that I fear about doing this show. For the featured recipe this week it is my protein smoothies, so there'll be no timestamps for that segment this week as it's really brief! Instead I hope you enjoy this look at who I am and enjoy learning...
