I love you Gina. My family is from Naples and Roma. I love your show. I think of my Italian gma talking to me when I watch you. Thank you for bringing back memories! I need the recipe for pignoli cookies. I missed it
I'm Sicilian and grew up watching my mom, grandmothers and dad cooking Italian cookies for Christmas. One of the cookies were fig cakes and still remember the assembly line we had in the kitchen. Watching you cook and listening to you talk brings back such amazing memories for me. I lost my grandmother 3 1/2 yrs ago (108 yrs old) and my dad last year. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us! Happy Holidays and God Bless! 🇮🇹🇺🇸💖💖
When I was little (in the 60's and 70's) I had a Nona just like Gina and she made my life so beautiful! Thank you Gina and family for sharing her with us. XOXO
Grandma Gina ! I’m gonna drop my Texan pecan pie for these cookies .I’m gonna bake them in the middle of the night and hide them until dessert time on thanksgiving dinner 2020 ! We will celebrate we are alive and healthy and on top of that : I’ve found happiness with your RU-vid channel. I can cook !!!’ Wish you and your loved ones a blissful thanksgiving day . God bless you ! Claudia , Austin Texas
Nonna Gina, My Nonna called those "biscotti per azienda, cookies for company. . The almond paste and the pignoli are expensive. We would each get one. Thank you so much for bringing my past alive. My last Zia passed away. We are so lucky we taped her explaining her recipes. Happy Holidays, God Bless You!
Hi Gina: I absolutely love Pignoli cookies - I used to make them every Christmas!!! Big hit in my family. Thank you Gina for all your wonderful recipes! God Bless you and your beautiful family!!! Love all of your videos!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is such a sweetheart. I love listening to her sing, she reminds me of my Grandma who raised be from birth. You all are so blessed to have her around showing you her recipes. I sure miss my Grandma. Love to you all for sharing her with us.
Dear GrandMa Gina, Love you, the Song to the Blessed Mother and watching you bake really started my day to be a good day, thank you. You are very special. Wish you and your family a Blessed Holiday. gr
Thank you so much for being willing to show us how this and the recipes shown in previous videos are done. I’ve found you in March this year, and the recipes here have brought comfort and support that only true angels on Earth can bring. God Bless all of us.
We look forward to each of your videos. Thank you for singing in honor of Mary. You are so special. Padre Pio is one of our family's favorite saints . . .we see him on your refrigerator. God Bless you Gina
If I listen carefully, I can hear MY grandmother singing! Immaculate Mary! Thy praises we sing. Who reigneth with Christ, our Redeemer and King! Ave, ave, ave Maria.....Ave, ave, ave Maria! Bless you Mama Gina! Such happy memories you stir up!
My Favorite cookie. My dad had a butcher shop in the 60'S and had this spice rack on the counter with Pignoli nuts in the little jars I used to take them and eat them and he used to say i was eating his profits.
Gina, We LOVE seeing you and your food/recipes. Gina's family - take good care of her! Thank you for your work in sharing her to so many and letting the world visit and taste her wonderful cooking. She is a blessing!
Oh grandma Gina, you are absolutely adorable, I could watch you 24/7! I’ve made a few of your recipes and everything turns out fabulous. Thank you for sharing your good food with us.
My daughter has fallen in love with you, as have I. She says you are always happy, and that's significant for her as she never loved cooking. You make her want to go in the kitchen and try your recipes. She is vegan, dairy free, and gluten free but she loves baked goods. This recipe is perfect for her. We went to visit her this afternoon and saw she was watching your videos! She also loves your chick pea snack. I'm excited for her to find "happy" recipes she can cook for herself.
Hello Grandma Gina❤️🌹 You are back to your house! It’s your kitchen right? Welcome back🥰 I love listening to you 😘 May the lord bless you always 🙏 Janet-California

I always look forward to your cooking my mother pasted away when I was 12 and was in the hospital for 1 year in a half before that. So she didn’t have a time to teach me any cooking. I depend on RU-vid & of course you are my favorite. Happy holidays to you & your family & a big thank you for your family for sharing you with us xoxox stay safe 🥰
Hello Nonna Gina. Just listening to you alleviates all my stress. You're better than any counsellor. It's not just your great homemade food, it's the love you emit with all you do and the passion for family. God bless. btw the cookies are great, I did make them. Thank you Nonna
Eating them right out of the oven is the best, that is one of my favorite Christmas cookies, besides struffoli, hope you will make those Nonna Gina Ciao
I have loved watching your channel for some time-I grew up in northern NJ in a very Italian community, and your cooking makes me homesick. But this recipe made me so happy you cannot imagine! These were my favourite cookies as a child; I bake lots of cookies, but I’ve never seen this recipe before, so grazie mille, Gina. This was really a Christmas present!
Hi Gina, I love when you sing. I love the Ave Maria. I am in the legion of Mary and we sing it all the time. I love your recipes. I have done many and my husband loves them. I am naking your cookies for Thanksgiving. My grandbabies will love them and so will the adults. Thanks, and may God's blessings be with you and your beautiful family.😘❤🙏🏼
Ciao Nonna Gina. I make these cookies every year for Christmas. They really are delicious and special. Grazie bella Nonna Gina. Ti voglio tanto bene Nonna Gina con tutto il mio cuore. ❤ God bless you. ❤
Yay! Thank You from the bottom of my heart Grandma Gina! I have been waiting for this .... The recipe and demonstration of my favorite Christmas cookies! Much LOVE and God Bless! 😘😍😘
I recently found Grandma Gina's channel. She reminds me so much of my Italian relatives growing up and I love watching her. Tomorrow I am making her pignoli cookies and can't wait to try them.
Thank you grandma. You sing like my own grandma, she loved the same song as you. Maria Imaculada. Thanks for bringing such lovely memories. God bless you
I love this lady. She reminds me of my grandmother and my mother in law both who have passed on. They both had a love of life and love of cooking. Her recipes are delicious
Its so funny. I woke up not feeling so well, and all I wanted to do was turn on your videos. I love your cooking and I love your songs. Very soothing. Thank you
I just recently found out I am Italian. It has always been in my heart and soul. What I would give to have known my Italian Grandma! God Bless Grandma Gina for sharing her recipes her love and her beautiful singing with all of us! I just love her Thank you ❤
I love your cooking videos. Your recipes are the authentic Italian recipes you have made for your family & happily share with us! Grazie Mille! I also love singing along in Italian with you! You are an inspiration!
Happy Thanksgiving Nona Gina! These were my loving dads all time favorite cookie, May he Rest In Peace. I watched this video and as I always comment, you sound exactly like my beautiful Nona (my dads mom) who lived with us until she passed, we were very blessed to have her with us growing up and to have our kids know her. Today brings back wonderful memories of her making potato crocet, fried apples, sauté mushrooms and garlic and these cookies. I’ll be making them on Christmas thanks to you, I never helped her with these so I didn’t learn them, now I know! God bless you beautiful lady!💜🙏😻🥰
