    Animals are drawn to the people they know are safe, kind & loving. That Mama cat knew that you would be the perfect human to help her raise her litter & keep the family safe. I’m sure she can also smell all the delicious recipes you’re cooking! Thanks for sharing another beautiful song & perfect cold weather recipe ❤️

    Your soup looks so good! I enjoy soup, my mother always had vegetables put up in the freezer so we could have soup in the winter. I also had a kitten and raised her to old age. Now I am old age, and my two cats bring me such joy! It was fun to see joy on your face when showing us the cats. Thank you, Gina, dear lady.

    I lost my mother last year to COVID I found you by chance on UA-cam you remind me so much of my mother and when you started to sing the same songs as my mother it made me cry. I bought your recipe book and found that you are from Foggia same province as my family I’m from San Marco in Lamis I watch you every evening as you remind me of happy times with my family.

    This video exemplifies Gina's love of life itself. She connects the past with the present, she weaves prayer into every moment, and song is always an important part of remembering life's journey. She gives thanks by enjoying God's gifts, in this instance animals, and new life. Gina is about so much more than food. She is an inspiration on how to live a good life.

    When she started singing I was paralyzed. I have heard the likes of Caruso, Pavarotti and many others but the honesty and feeling of this woman while she cooked a hearty meal for her family and sung about the kittens and their mother was the most heartfelt thing I have ever heard. Everyone else can watch some woman swing around naked on a wrecking ball screeching out a song with no soul. I'll watch this beautiful woman cook and sing with her very soul. Your choice to make, I suppose, I sure made mine...

What a lovely memory walking with your mother singing and saying prayers. I couldn’t imagine walking up stairs of a mountain with a child being easy. Your joy is seen in all that is shared on your channel. Thank you 😊

    Suggestion Nico for your already fabulous cooking videos with your Nonna: If after cooking a meal you now and then show us you eating with her or all of you eating together as a family, laughing and talking, even for just one or two minutes, I'm telling you your subscription rate would double overnight!
