Welcome,
I'm so excited you are here. If you are wondering why I chose the name Vicki Vidalia, I love "Vidalia" onions and they appear in almost all my recipes.
As I share the second half of my life with this channel the content is all about finding my inner child and having fun through cooking. The older (wiser) I get the more I realize how important maintaining my health is. Through cooking with whole foods I have found this is the key to my vitality. Join me as I take you on a journey to fuel your body with easy recipes.
You can expect how to videos on cooking with guest appearances by friends, neighbors and people I come across in my travels. I recently became a flight attendant "my retirement career" and packing healthy food for the road is critical for my health. I always double the recipe providing nourishment for myself and the family.
So sit back and enjoy the ride with me,
Vicki Vidalia

This Family was Living in a Home Infested with Rats!
It is hard to believe how humble this family is knowing the circumstances they faced. The lived for months in a home infested by rats. They lost everything as the pesky rats chewed through everything they owned.
Luckily, they found a case worker that moved them into a new home and Humble Design Chicago took over from there.
As the lead designer on the project, I met with everyone (the daughter spoke English which really helped) to see what they needed. On the day of the install we asked them to leave for the day. When they came back their new home was furnished and rat free.
Humble Design Chicago is a fantastic organization. Helping three families a week, so many volunteers step up to help out. I am very honored to take part in this amazing work.
Check out Humble to see if they are in your city and volunteer.

WOW! This dish packs a flavor bomb and looks like something out of a cooking show. This Whole Food entree is healthy for you and is a wow factor with the lime green color. The ingredients are simple and all you need is a blender or food processor to create the soup base.

Hi kill
Pulling out my spiral notepad!🤓😍
You have so much patience! This recipe is really tasty and so fun with the kids.
I had so much fun (and patience of course)
It is hard to believe they went through this. Humble does amazing work.
I know, so many families in need right now.
This was awesome
You are awesome! Thanks for taking part in the show, I'll teach you how to make a video so you can start your own. I love cooking with you!!!!!
We had so much fun hanging with the boys and making lemonade. Napa's trees are in full bloom with lemons, pomegranates and oranges.
You are the best sport! Thanks for picking lemons and helping make this delicious lemonade.

Have a feeling steak sauce will win
Can’t wait to try this ymmmmm😄💗
Great to make with the grand kiddos!!!!!
AMAZING!!! What a gorgeous job you guys did. Welcome home SPC Kelly!!
She served our country and it was an honor to serve her. ❤🤍💙
Absolutely amazing. Welcome home and thank you for your service😊💜
She is so deserving of this! ❤🤍💙
This is so so delicious and with served on rice makes it wonderful 😊
It really is so easy and delicious. Michael loves it!!!
This so delicious. It’s addicting 😊 love making this 💗
This is such a fun recipe and tastes so darn good!
Great job Richard 😊😊
He loves to socialize behind the bar and it's so much fun having him help out!
Everyone enjoyed it, what a festive way to serve them😊😊♥️♥️
And it's all from Aldi...
This salad looks amazing and I love that you used cantaloupe.
I love that it makes so much salad and it keeps in the refrigerator to use for leftovers.
Thanking the both of you, for making matters, so much more economically easy and sensible. 🆗😊👍🏽
There's so many ways to save money out there and Richard is a great resource. We are doing another feature soon on a different way to make $ for doing nothing.
Loved it! Vicki is amazing❤
Thank you Ana!!!!
Love watching your videos.
Thank you so much, I miss you!!!!!
That was amazing♥️♥️♥️
Kind of crazy... but so much fun!
This is an awesome carrot dish😊💗
Thanks, the beer really tenderizes the carrots for a wonderful flavor.
I use an old fashioned potato masher to break up ground meat while frying
That is a fantastic idea, I will have to try this. Thank you so much for the tip.
I want to make this today and I don’t even like onions. It does sound really good, a little soy sauce and lots of butter!! Butter makes everything better
Butter really does make everything better! We hope you are doing well and thank you for checking out the channel!!!
Love it!! Yummy
This is really healthy (especially the ghee recipe) to go with your amazing cooking you have been doing.
@@vickividalia1030 love it!!
Awesome!
Hello! You will love this recipe and I'm so glad you checked out the channel.
Although I love the soy with butter recipe the best, I have to admit the coconut amino with ghee was not too bad!
The coconut amino and ghee was really delicious and a great option.
I'm glad to see you use the spices we found during our travels, it brought back great memories of the markets we traveled to. This recipe is delicious and great for leftover lunches. As you say "woohoo"!
I loved the spices we bought in St. Maarten!
This recipe is surprisingly great (I wasn't sure about the coconut milk). I love the whole food approach (Vicki has been cooking this way for years) because I notice a difference in how satisfied and healthy I feel. Vicki is a lot of fun in the kitchen and we definitely love to cook together. I'm glad she's doing the cooking channel again because I know the refrigerator will be full of leftovers.
Awwww, thank you! You have always loved leftovers and I'm glad we are eating healthy again. The curry from the market down the street adds so much flavor to this dish.
If you go through the regular check-out lane (as in not self-checkout) will the For U discounts be on the screen as they are rung up, or do they wait and then have them all show up at the end? I just tried this for the first time yesterday, clipped stuff while logged in to my account for the store I shop at, put my phone number in at check-out which has linked to my account before, and I didn't get any of the clipped prices. Is there a way to see on your receipt if it had your For U information? Do you know how long it takes after shopping for your points to update in the app? Sorry so many questions! Thanks for the bonus tip on the Johnsonville being nitrate free, I had no idea! Nitrates is a huge migraine trigger for me.
Let me check with Richard and I'll get back to you.
This happened to me once too so I asked at Jewel and it DOES take time for the coupons to activate on the app (they told me sometimes up to 10 or 15 minutes, not sure why). So, I do all of my items before I go shopping just in case. On the receipt, the extra coupons show up as "Just for U" discounts, so look for those and usually do occur at the end of your checking out. I always check before I leave and then go to Customer Service if they are not on my receipt. Sometimes they are very specific and I have bought the wrong size or flavor and that is why they did not show up (but I have found they are usually pretty helpful and give you the discount). - From Richard
@@vickividalia1030 thank you so much for following up on this!!!

Hello my dear Vicki, this soup recipe is a real sensation and I'm really excited, cooked with so much love and well-balanced spices, I'm quite sure that it tasted wonderful, very well done, please keep it up😋🖐👍 Greetings from Germany and from me, Da Wolfe😁👨🍳
Thank you so much for your comments. Corn is now in season in the Midwest (Wisconsin) and I hope to share more tips.
What an awesome idea
You can do this with chicken broth as well to cook with!!
very nice. love the preparation and presentation. thanks for sharing...!
Thank you. I jus subscribed to your channel and I love what you do. I appreciate the feedback.
Nice tip to save money
Plus it really changes the ugly lamp into a usable one. No landfill for this gray treasure!!!
Another great chicken dinner idea
This one is so easy and adding ketchup to the sauce is the secret. Let me know if you try it and what you think of the flavors.
Looks so so good, can’t wait to try it. Always looking for good chicken recipes💗
This one is really delicious and I'm sure you will love the flavors. Sean's mom kept the recipe in her mind but can't find the letter her mom sent with the instructions. It would be great to find this and keep the memories.
Looks good
Thanks!
This is great information and I'll put this on my phone to shop at Jewel. I love the tips about the wine and buy one get one free.
The savings are amazing especially when you can go in ahead of time to figure out what you currently use in your home.
Fascinating!! Question- how much longer does this take?! With kids in tow at the store, it’s pretty important for me to shop quickly 😅
Just make sure before you shop to click on the items you want to purchase, I would do this before you shop so when you check out, it is easy. I'll check with Richard as well to make sure I have answered this correctly.
@@vickividalia1030 It really does not take that long - I do this at breakfast or lunch before shopping and I can quickly go through all the "deals" in about 3-5 minutes as I look for what I shop for and I don't get pulled into products I don't buy, so it is really just scanning for what I normally buy. I also like that it creates a shopping list for you so you can remember to pick up all the deals!
At the checkout it did not take long as all. You could also have one of the boys be in charge of helping you with the coupons, it is really fun and they might enjoy the responsibility.
You explained it well
Thanks! I love to shop on Ebay. My dad is the one who introduced me!!
Yummy
I’m glad you like it!!!!
Nice tip to leave the cob in the soup
This adds so much flavor and some sugar as well!
