I love every opportunity to cook and create fun recipes especially when I get to share it with you on @LVNOWTV I found a basic gazpacho recipe and gave it my own one, two punch. We loved making it for you and hope you will enjoy making it, too! I always have so much fun cooking with @radiomercedes.
There are two Nanny Bubby Tidbits in this segment.
💗 Use V-8 juice or any generic vegetable juice in place of any recipe that calls for tomato juice. It add a richness in flavor you don`t get with the acidic tomato juice.
💗 This tomato slicer is a "gamechanger". The link can be found on my website. Once you see how easy it works, you will want one!! Look at Mercedes face when she sees it work!🤣
Enjoy this @lvnowtv episode!

YEAR-ROUND GAZPACHO
BY NANNY BUBBY & @tm.vegas
I love every opportunity to cook and create with my own cooking confidence coach, Tanya Murray. Tanya and I have so much fun creating recipes together, laughing at our mistakes when they happen and giving each other the leigh way to experiment and push the edges of our own knowledge. Together we found a basic gazpacho recipe and gave it our own one, two punch. We love it and hope you will, too! I love generational cooking and I always love cooking with a wonderful friend. You can create so many memories this way. When we are together, we always remember to, “Spread Love Like Butter”.
Serves: 6
Total Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Ingredients:
• 12 sweet red baby pear tomatoes sliced in half
• 1 14oz. can fire roasted diced tomatoes (drained)
• ¼ cup red onion, diced
• 1 English cucumber, diced
• 1 orange bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeño, diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ½ cup parsley, chopped + more for topping
• 2 limes, zested and juice
• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• 4 cups V-8 juice
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. smoked Tabasco sauce
• 1 Tbsp. smoked olive oil
• 1 avocado for garnish, medium diced
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the fresh and canned tomatoes, onion, cucumber, bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic, and parsley.
Then add the lime zest and juice, Worcestershire, vinegar, vegetable juice, salt, pepper, and Tabasco. Mix well.
Separate half of the mixture to another bowl. With an immersion blender, coarsely blend half of the mixture and return to the main bowl.
Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Once the soup is chilled, top with more parsley if desired and the diced avocado.
Enjoy!
If you didn’t have the opportunity to learn to cook generationally, and you didn’t have “Home Economics” in middle school, then you may have missed out on learning basic cooking skills which has kept you from, cooking until now.
So where do you start? How do you learn and teach yourself?
Here is my basic philosophy:
I do not cook because I love food, I cook because I love people.
There is nothing more I love than sitting with family and friends and coming together to “break bread together”.
The easiest way to do this is to just learn to make some easy appetizers that bring people together with drinks and good food.
I had so much fun with @kendalltenney Enjoy this @lvnowtv episode!

SAVORY CRESCENT APPETIZER
If you are wanting to learn to cook, but don’t know where to start, start with appetizers. I cook because I LOVE people, not because I love food. Appetizers and drinks are a great way to begin your cooking knowledge and bring people together. Teach yourself to make a few appetizers and invite those you enjoy for drinks and apps before you go out for dinner, or just order in from there. If you just teach yourself to start somewhere in the cooking process, the rest will fall into place! Enjoy! Appetizers make, “Spreading Love Like Butter”, so easy!
Serves: 8
Total Time: 30 Minutes
Ingredients:
• 1 container refrigerated Crescent dough. (I prefer Pillsbury Crescent rolls)
• 1 onion diced (sweet yellow or red)
• 1 ½ tsp. garlic powder
• ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 stick melted salted butter
Preheat oven to 375°
Directions:
After opening the container of crescent rolls, divide the dough into the pre-cut triangles. Combine the melted butter and garlic powder.
Dip each triangle into the melted butter and then spoon 1 tsp. of onion into the top 1/3 of the wide side of the triangle. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and then roll the triangle from the wide side to the pointed side.
Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle again with the parmesan cheese.
Place in the oven for approximately 9 to 12 minutes or until golden brown depending on your oven. Slice in thirds. Eat and enjoy!

Cooking Intuitively
💗These are the 3 flavors that our tongues and taste buds crave. If you want to learn to cook intuitively, you need to know what you are trying to achieve.
💗We are always looking for the perfect blend of these three flavors.
✅ Salt to enhance flavor.
✅Fat for for moisture and depth of flavor
✅Acid to brighten flavors
💗So much fun today with @RoquiTheus on @lvnowTV. Love cooking with Roqui and the team.
💗Thanks @melissasproduce for the fabulous asparagus for today’s segment as always.

Always fun with @kendalltenney while visiting @lvnowtv. I must have made 100 wontons in the last month and now I have perfected it. This soup was completely made in 5 minutes. 2 minute for the soup and vegetables and then 3 minutes more to cook the wontons. It took 20 minutes of prep time and you can have yourself a fabulous wonton soup. Watch the segment and you will be amazed at how non-complicated this is. Enjoy and remember to “Spread Love Like Butter”. #NannyBubbyTidbit

WON TON SOUP II
By Chef Tom Fraker
Melissa’s Produce
Even though Lunar New Year is over, I fell in love with and learned how to make fabulous wontons for the first time. They are so fun. For the full recipe see link in bio, or go to www.NannyBubby.com/soups
I love the superstitions of the lunar New Year! It amazes me how most of the superstitions for this celebration represent positive superstitions, not scary, but loving representations and symbols. For this recipe, Dumplings symbolize wealth for the Lunar New Year. It is absolutely necessary to eat dumpling to prepare and open your heart for wealth. The small addition of sherry yields flavorful meat filling in this popular Asian-style soup for the Lunar New Year. The Chinese definitely know how to “Spread Love Like Butter”. Enjoy!
Serves: 4-6
Total Time: 55 Minutes
Ingredients:
• 1/2 pound ground pork, cooked
• 1/4 pound shrimp, cooked and chopped
• 3 tablespoons sherry
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons ginger root, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 24 sheets Won Ton Wrappers
For the soup:
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup Baby Bok Choy, cleaned and chopped
• 1 package (0.5 ounce) Dried Shiitake Mushrooms, reconstituted; stems discarded and caps sliced thin (see notes below)
• 1/4 cup Snow Peas
• 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil

VALENTINE’S DAY IS ALMOST HERE! 💗💗
💗I cook because I love people. I can’t think of a better day to share love through cooking!
💗So many truly feel anxious when cooking. And you can help them realize that if they love people, conversation, music and gathering, cooking just one thing and having people over is one way to share LOVE 💕 and feel great about themselves and accomplished.
💗These are great Valentine’s Day gifts. Buy them individually or as part of a bundle.

THIS CARD WAS PICKED TWICE RANDOMLY ON KLAS ON THURSDAY!!!
NANNY BUBBY AFFIRMATION #12
💗So this is a crazy story!!!
💗I was really nervous about making the Chestnut soup on Thursday`s show. The timing had to be so precise in terms of the steps or it would not have come out right!
💗Sure, I could have faked it on the air and no one would have known, and occasionally I have had to do that, but I never, never plan for that.
💗I really couldn`t calm myself down. So I thought, I am going to pick an affirmation card and get myself centered so I can gain confidence for the show.
💗This is the card I chose!
I started saying it out loud and immediately began to calm.
💗Later on during the show, I encouraged my co-host, @roquitheus to pick a card as we continued through the recipe live on the air.
💗AND.......GUESS WHAT SHE PICKED????
Yup, she picked the SAME card!!!
💗Amazing!!! I believe there are no coincidences, and I believe that both Roqui`s energy and mine were centered in the present moment and that is how, out of a deck of 52, we chose the same card at least 30 minutes apart. It was wild! If you watch the show, you will see that moment!
💗I thought it would make a great card for this week for YOU! Enjoy!
💗The store re-opens tomorrow if you wish to purchase the affirmation deck and any other swag!
Remember, "Spread Love Like Butter". #NannyBubbyAffirmation

This affirmation card # 12 has been extracted from Nanny Bubby’s Deck of 52 Affirmation Cards. Each Sunday we give you a “TASTE” of one of the cards to inspire your week.
It was a good time today making Roasted Chestnut soup with @roquitheus! The weather outside is frightful, and hot soup is the way to go on such a day. Love that @melissasproduce provides Roasted, Shelled and Steamed Chestnuts in a vacuum sealed bag! (you can find them at Sprouts) I for one, do not want to Roast Chestnuts on an open fire!! LOL! Enjoy the segment and @cheftomfraker recipe is a winner!

Loved Making Memories! I cook because I LOVE people. Especially these ones. HAPPY NEW YEAR! #nannybubby #spreadlovelikebutter
So much energy and so much fun on @lvnowtv with @jillianlopez Jillian Lopez making Holiday Goat Cheese Pockets for a lovely holiday salad. We picked our affirmation card, we shared aprons, we were terrified that the Phyllo dough would dry up under the hot studio lights and luckily it did not! Yay for us! We learned a tidbit for cutting goat cheese easier. And then we had a beautiful ending to a wonderful holiday segment. Merry Christmas to all. You can find the recipe in my feed below and of course at www.nannybubby.com/salads Remember: “Spread Love Like Butter”.

HOLIDAY GOAT CHEESE POCKETS
FOR SALAD
I love to cook the unusual, the unexpected and something totally delicious. Especially during the holidays. These goat cheese pockets always put an amazing smile on people’s faces when I begin to serve them. They are so unexpected, and no one actually knows what they are until you tell them and then I hear an, “Oooooh” from the guests at the table. I love serving this over a green bean, arugula salad with orange sections from the tangelos I grow on my own tree in my “Victory” garden to highlight the orange zest in this recipe that adds so much to every bite of the goat cheese. Remember….. “Spread Love Like Butter” !
Serves: 4
Total Time: 45 Minutes
Ingredients:
-12 ozs. good goat cheese
-¾ c. dried cranberries
-2 Tbsp. orange zest (about 2 large oranges)
-8 sheets frozen phyllo dough, defrosted
-6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
-4 Tbsp. plain dry bread crumbs

💗I am so over the moon with gratitude that this inspiration of "Spread Love Like Butter" and the Cooking Confidence Affirmation Cards would be received with so much love an demand.
💗I want to thank all of you who purchased and all of you who participated in encouraging me, and participated in the behind the scenes, to get me to this point.

How about you?
Why do you cook?
💗When I shop, when I design a menu, when I begin to think of feeding and cooking I always visualize everyone at my table.
Laughing, smiling, talking and just plain old making memories.
💗When you feed them they will come!
💗This makes my heart sing, especially during the holidays

FINAL DAYS TO BUY 🎄🕎-Inventory almost gone!
(Link in bio) or www.NannyBubby.com/swag
💗 The gratitude in my heart abounds!
💗 I took a crazy chance!!!! I was told that you would love the affirmation decks, but I was so nervous to bring it to the market. THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN SO OVERWHELMING. THANK YOU!
💗 I feel so much love in my heart knowing that the cards can help you relieve anxiety when in the kitchen. I had a friend say, “I would buy them but everyone I know really doesn’t like to cook.” And I said, “this is the exact person who should have the cards. They are not cooking because they have a block, because they feel overwhelmed, because they don’t know how to move forward and begin to cook and nourish themselves and the ones they love”
💗 With that explanation, she purchased.
💗 It’s estimated we will be out of product by Sunday and if you want them before I Xmas or Chanukah, Sunday is the cut off.
Did my explanation help you understand the purpose of the Cooking Confidence Affirmation Cards? Are you ready to take on your own health and your families?
I AM HERE FOR YOU!
