Gina...I have been very depressed. I cry alot......feeling hopeless. I was watching this video of you making this apple cake, which is a recipe thats been passed down from my grandma years ago. At this time i was watching, I was so depressed and crying so much......and suddenly out of nowhere, you tell the story at the end of you and your grandaughter......showing the bag that says "Be Happy"...... you said no matter what goes on in your life, the life goes on.......be happy. I cried even harder because i wasnt expecting to hear this from you. I just wanted to see you cook...... It was an unexpected blessing to hear those words from you at that time and a kind of miracle for me. Thank you for just being you. I love you Grandma !
I love you much❤ you deserve to be loved, grandma... the last 2 minutes in the video, when you talked about that bag story & "be happy", you brought me into tears.. i felt your voice trembling.. whatever you've been through in your life, whatever good & bad memories you have, after all this, you're full of life & you are an inspiration to every one who watches you.. i love your name "Gina" & if you wouldn't mind, i want to give you a nick name "Sunshine"🌞 because you shine whenever & wherever you present.. i love you.. God bless you & bless you family & everyone surrounding you with love❤ & bless them for the effort they do to upload those videos & for printing our comments & reading it to you⚘🙏
Thank you, nonna Gina! You are my favorite person on UA-cam - no question! ...you are right, “life goes on” and be happy!... I love you to the moon and back! 😘🤗❤️🙏
I have been in the hospital for two weeks and I want you to know that you were a friend of mine before I got here but, I have spent the last two weeks watching your recipes being performed not once but to three times, I might tell you I think you saved my life..... this is been a terrible experience for me and you were there for me, you stayed with me the whole time now if I can just get through the next couple of days because all I can think about is getting to the grocery store. You are two years older than I am, now I call you my best friend. Gina thank you for being here for me! Amo
I just watched this for a 2nd time because I make this cake once in a while. All I could think at the end is I wish Gina could live forever, she is such a great example of a kind human being. The Food Network needs to contract with Gina because her segments would be a huge hit that not only teaches us to cook well, but the humane component she has is like no other shows I have seen. She makes me feel better, not matter what is going on in our crazy world. And she brings it all back to what is important: family and friends.
I don't think the Food Network would let Nonna Gina be herself ! Lately everything is a game show. Plus, she talks alot about God and the Blessed Mother and I don't think they would let her. But IF they did, you are so right! WHAT a huge hit she would be . So loving, kind, and wonderful she is!
You're amazing Gina, someone helped you when you came to this country and you are sharing your wisdom with us. Your cooking is wonderful, but your words are words of gold. Thank you Gina.
YOU ARE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUL YOU HAVE!! YOUR VIDEOS ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE ONES ON UA-cam!! PLEASE KEEP MAKING THEM...DONT EVER STOP!! :-)
You deserve to be happy Gina, you look after everyone and the nearly 200,000 people who watch you and we all love who you are and what you do. Thank you x
I cried watching your video tonight. I felt like Nonna Gina was nervous and emotional. You have so many faithful viewers, Nonna Gina. We love you even though we do not know you personally, you exude love in everything you do and I hope and pray that you know how much you're loved. God bless you and keep you. To her family, please continue making her happy and don't ever let her feel lonely. I look forward to watching many more videos of her cooking while listening to her stories. God bless her and her family.
Hey Gina. My name is Leoni and I live in Australia. I'm just about to make your apple and walnut cake. I sat up last night watching you make it and it looked so delicious. I just want to take a minute out of your day to tell you that I love watching all of your videos. I wish you were my Nonna and had your around the corner, but alas I do not but I can enjoy your cooking online. So please continue to make the world a better place from your kitchen. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Peace be with you. Love & best wishes from Leoni in Adelaide where the Corona is not as bad as the rest of the world at the moment and the sun is shining. Bye :-)
@@BuonAPetitti Hello I have just discovered you nonna, im going to make your zepoli san giovanni tomorrow i hope. thank you for good old fashioned instructions.
Nona Gina you make me happy! I love your channel, and I watch many episodes a day. I even watch the advertisements in order for your revenue to increase. May God bless you and your family. And may you continue cooking and teaching us how to cook too. ❤️
I just finished making this cake and pulled it out of the oven! The house smells so good and the family cannot wait to eat it. I even bought vanilla ice cream to go with it! By the way, I made your Manicotti last night for dinner....and everyone loved it! So much so that the children ate leftover Manicotti for breakfast. I love you Gina! Thanks for helping me create wonderful memories with my family.
Thank you so much, Gina, for sharing this recipe and for the reminder for us to "be happy". You are a sweet, sweet woman. I'd like to reach out and hug you!!
Dear grandma, I made this recipe. This is absolutely, my favorite cake ever! I have made it 3 times already... so delicious, so special... thank you so much for this incredible gift! Best regards from Brazil! Xoxo
I said it on another video. And I’ll say it again...I feel like I’m in the kitchen with my Nonna when I watch you. I have you on in the background when I’m making dinner or cleaning up in the kitchen, making my son lunch...and you start singing ❤️ or telling a story....and it brings me so much joy. I can’t even explain it 💖💖 May you always be happy. And I can’t wait to go apple pick this fall and make this cake!
Dear Gina you make us all happy by sharing your special recipes with us all. They are all very tasty especially due to your special ingredient__love. God Bless you.
You are such a nice lady. You make me happy, with every video you make. Every time i see a notification from you, i open the video immediately and i travel with you and your stories. The only time in my day i forget my problems. So keep these videos coming. Thank you so much...

Nonna Gina. I had a recipe like this more than 40 years ago and lost it. Thank you so much for this memory. I will make this very soon. I appreciate you sharing your recipes and your life with us. You are a treasure.
My absolute favourite cooking show.I love that she always tries her food and we see the beginning to the end.Love her singing as well .A wonderful show to watch beats ALL the other cooking show HANDS DOWN.THANKYOU.Please don’t stop this cooking show ❌⭕️😊
I just recently lost my 86 year old mother, she was from Abruzzo Italy and I am finding so much joy watching you cook and tell your stories. She was a wonderful cook and story teller like you... Thank you.... I’m looking forward to watching more....
Hi, miss Gina😊 So nice to see you! I haven't been able to watch your videos for a couple of weeks. Your family and friends are so very Blessed to have you, and I'm sure you feel Blessed to have them. You make me Happy each time I watch your videos. I am going to try this recipe for Thanksgiving. You are such a Blessing! A couple of weeks ago I was going through a sad and lonely time, I didn't have any family or friends around, then I put on one of your cooking videos and it truly lifted my spirits. I Thank the Good Lord for you. Not only are you gifted in cooking but also in bringing Happiness to others. Lord knows this world can use some Happiness. God Bless you, Dear Miss Gina😘
God Bless Nonna Gina. It must be hard to see so many loved ones and friends pass on, but yes, we need Nonna Giina and her video's. We learn so much from her. She's an angel. They don't make them like her anymore. I'm so glad we have these video's.
Grandma Gina, I just put my first apple walnut cake in the oven and my wife came home just in time! I’ll keep you in my thoughts. Love to you and yours!
I just made this! It is DELICIOUS! I thought maybe there were too many apples or too much sugar.....the batter didn’t look right at first, but no! It all comes together. It is great!
You made me tear up when you were talking about being happy. Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes it's hard to look on the bright side, but with the love of family and friends, it sure does make it a lot easier. And a nice piece of homemade apple cake with ice cream really helps too! You are a sweet lady, Gina. ♥
Nona Gina makes me so calm. What’s lovelier than Gina making a beautiful yummy desert? And those apples make Eve mad she didn’t wait! Those are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing Gina with us all!
I watch youtube every night at the end of my day. Last week, when I was feeling the troubles of the world weighing on my heart, I stumbled upon you sweet Gina and I have looked forward to watching you every night, ever since!!😍 You brought me such joy to watch you and learn. Italian food has always been my favorite. Thank you so very much for sharing your cooking and your beautiful personality with us!! You are a blessing to this world and I pray God will always bless you and your family!!😘💕💕💕
I made this cake, and my husband said it was the best cake he had ever eaten in his life. Thank you again, Gina. I was too tired that day to chop, so I grated the apples. Hoping you have a marvelous Thanksgiving. Know that this cake will make it to our Thanksgiving feast!
This was a very happy episode for Nonna Gina! Such a good memory of a friend that passed making this cake just a little more special. I almost cried when she picked up the Happy bag and called out all she was grateful and happy for...so heartfelt and sincere. It was all so very touching😊 love you Nonna Gina! Hugs and love from Cali
You can tell she have a beautiful heart. I think she was thinking about the lady who taught her the recipe and she was thinking about her children and she was happy but sad to have lost a Good friend.
And I thought I died and went to heaven with the apple cake recipe, but WOW Gina blew me away at 17:00 with the Life Lesson, always thought provoking, and soul-fully rewarding..... Life will never be the same. I feel so blessed, in this life to have this opportunity in experiencing your energy, love & being. This brings joy and happiness to me, beyond words. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Me Ke Aloha A Hui Hou
Thank you dear Gina for this and all the delicious recipies you make. Thank you for everything. You make me happy when I watch you. I like to listen to all your precious stories and your songs. God bless you and keep you with all your family.
I make this cake for my childden and grand children. It is great in the fall and winter. You are such a joy to watch. You remind me of my Mom. She and my Dad immigrated fromPortugal with 4 children just like you. Her accent was just like yours. Thank you so much. You make me happy.
Be Happy! If I'm having a bad day, I look for one of your videos Mamma Gina and then I'm happy. You bring much happiness to so many. God has kept you here because you had to do so much for ALL of us. I love you so very much! I'm going to make that apple walnut cake soon and think of you. Thank you for sharing!
If other people can rush Christmas, I can rush Fall!! It's my favorite season and it doesn't last long enough. Watching you make this makes me want to run right to the kitchen to make it. I will have to use pecans, as walnuts do not like me, but I think they will be very good. Thank you for another wonderful recipe. I always get excited when I see another video from you in my inbox and have to watch it immediately. LOVE to watch you cook so keep the videos coming!
Thank you so much for this beautiful Apple Walnut Cake recipe. It looks so delicious. I will make it very soon. I'm so glad that you found your good friend that gave you this recipe and I'm so happy that she helped you and your children so long ago. God Bless her. I just love to hear your stories Gina.

I think I'm going to try this with pears Gina! My pear tree is loaded down this year! God's bounty! Thank you for this and all of your recipes! God bless you and your family! ❤️❤️❤️
Once in awhile, Gina, I think God lets the “best people” hang around to teach us how to make beautiful food and to share stories of love and humanity. Love you dearly, sweet lady. Thank you for this recipe and video. 🥰
I love the heart-to-heart that Miss Gina has with her audience at the end of her video. She reminds me so much of my mom. I needed to hear that advice that we all need to go forward and Be Happy. Thank you, Miss Gina.

Yessssss
MISS GINA, IT WOULD BE A BETTER WORLD IF EVERYONE WOULD BE LIKE YOU, GOD BLESS YOU!
I love you much❤ you deserve to be loved, grandma... the last 2 minutes in the video, when you talked about that bag story & "be happy", you brought me into tears.. i felt your voice trembling.. whatever you've been through in your life, whatever good & bad memories you have, after all this, you're full of life & you are an inspiration to every one who watches you.. i love your name "Gina" & if you wouldn't mind, i want to give you a nick name "Sunshine"🌞 because you shine whenever & wherever you present.. i love you..

Thank you, nonna Gina! You are my favorite person on UA-cam - no question! ...you are right, “life goes on” and be happy!... I love you to the moon and back! 😘🤗❤️🙏
I have been in the hospital for two weeks and I want you to know that you were a friend of mine before I got here but, I have spent the last two weeks watching your recipes being performed not once but to three times, I might tell you I think you saved my life..... this is been a terrible experience for me and you were there for me, you stayed with me the whole time now if I can just get through the next couple of days because all I can think about is getting to the grocery store. You are two years older than I am, now I call you my best friend. Gina thank you for being here for me! Amo
Dolly, may God Bless you and watch over you during these difficult days. You will be in my prayers everyday, stay strong. God Bless.
I love when Miss Gina says, "God bless everybody and God bless America". Her faith shines through!
I just watched this for a 2nd time because I make this cake once in a while. All I could think at the end is I wish Gina could live forever, she is such a great example of a kind human being. The Food Network needs to contract with Gina because her segments would be a huge hit that not only teaches us to cook well, but the humane component she has is like no other shows I have seen. She makes me feel better, not matter what is going on in our crazy world. And she brings it all back to what is important: family and friends.
I don't think the Food Network would let Nonna Gina be herself ! Lately everything is a game show. Plus, she talks alot about God and the Blessed Mother and I don't think they would let her. But IF they did, you are so right! WHAT a huge hit she would be . So loving, kind, and wonderful she is!
"Be Happy"......ok, that made me tear-up....
You're amazing Gina, someone helped you when you came to this country and you are sharing your wisdom with us. Your cooking is wonderful, but your words are words of gold. Thank you Gina.
YOU ARE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUL YOU HAVE!! YOUR VIDEOS ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE ONES ON UA-cam!! PLEASE KEEP MAKING THEM...DONT EVER STOP!! :-)
"God a take the good people first." So true Nonna Gina. Now I'm crying and trying to follow the recipe at the same time. 😢
Miss Gina,
I am hooked, I love your recipes but, mostly I love you, Miss Gina, God bless you and yours all the days of your life.
This channel is better than anything on the Food Network!
You deserve to be happy Gina, you look after everyone and the nearly 200,000 people who watch you and we all love who you are and what you do. Thank you x
Mama Gina you’re the best grandmother in the whole world! May God richly bless you 🙏🏼
I lost both my grandmas ... now I have my grandma Gina , ❤️

Love to you and yours!
Grandma Gina makes many people happy. Her videos put people in a good mood!
Love you Gina!!! Thank you for your recipes and your beautiful personality 🙏🏼❤️🌹
I just made this! It is DELICIOUS!
I thought maybe there were too many apples or too much sugar.....the batter didn’t look right at first, but no! It all comes together. It is great!
She is so talented . Cooks with love. She is nice and clean!! Giving me and my sister lots of ideas during this quarantine time. XO!!
GBU grandma Gina 🤍
Stay blessed forever 🙏🏼

You made me tear up when you were talking about being happy. Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes it's hard to look on the bright side, but with the love of family and friends, it sure does make it a lot easier. And a nice piece of homemade apple cake with ice cream really helps too! You are a sweet lady, Gina. ♥

Grandma Gina,
You are an inspiring, dear woman!! My husband watches you with me too!
I’d rather watch you than the cooking shows on TV! ❤️
Bless Mama Gina !!!! Such an amazing woman. Thanks for all the traditional cooking you bring to us
You can tell she have a beautiful heart. I think she was thinking about the lady who taught her the recipe and she was thinking about her children and she was happy but sad to have lost a Good friend.
