About
Hi there! My name is Natasha Kravchuk. My handsome husband, Vadim, and I started Natasha’s Kitchen in 2009 and develop recipes and recipe videos full time together.
I come from a family of fantastic cooks and I’m here to share generations of recipes that are homey, fresh, healthy, family-friendly, authentic, and adventurous. Most importantly, our recipes taste great and you can trust that they actually work.
My Family:
My parents came to the US as refugees from Ukraine when I was 4 years old. They brought 5 tiny girls and had nothing but a stack of suitcases. They didn’t know the language, but worked hard and achieved the American dream. Watch the TV News Segment about our incredible story.
Growing up, I used to be so shy I thought no one would marry me until my husband came along and swept me off my feet (true story). I married my wonderful husband Vadim over 16 years ago. We are blessed with two children. Every recipe is thoroughly tested and approved by each of us and is often critiqued by relatives and friends. We only post the recipes we love and make over and over.
We live in Idaho, “Ida-who?” Potatoes, people, potatoes! Our family attends Life Church Boise. We strive to walk in love and live our lives by the word of God and the life of Jesus.
My Background:
We’re so thankful to be full-time foodies and recipe developers. We’re living our dream because of you and I can’t thank you enough! I draw on all of my past experience which make me the recipe developer, video creator, photographer, writer, and business owner that I am today. We set the bar high so you can expect great recipes and videos here. God has made all of my past experiences work for my good.
The ‘Resume’:
- Starting as a teen, I worked for 7 years as a business intern (my most valuable ‘education’).
- Earned my bachelors degree in Business (long story)
- Worked as a Realtor for 4 years during which I had an early mid-life crisis and cried a lot (let’s just say it wasn’t for me).
- Second Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and worked as an RN in telemetry (shorter story, but still long).
- Blogging since 2009
So, I’m a wife, mom, food blogger, video creator, photographer, writer, influencer, social media boss, entrepreneur, and worship leader. If I were a sandwich, I’d be a chicken bacon avocado on focaccia.
About Natasha’s Kitchen:
I started this food and family blog in 2009 as a way to share favorite recipes and events with family and friends. It has grown much larger than I could have imagined with about 1,000 recipes and about 7 Million hungry visitors per month. In April 2020, we passed 1,000,000 subscribers on Youtube and our channel is growing fast.
My goal with Natasha’s Kitchen is for you to really discover and fall in love with cooking and find many new favorite recipes your family will love. The ingredients we use are simple and easily accessible; not overly hoity-toity. My motto: if you can read (a well-written, tested and trusted recipe), you can cook.
This is a personal website and all of the recipes are tested and approved by my family. All of the photography is done by myself and I’m the one showing up in our videos. My husband edits the photos and videos (and he’s the videographer single-handedly running 3 cameras at once).
Much of the recipes I share come from my Mom and Mother-in-law, family, friends, and experience in the kitchen. I am so thankful to have such amazing people in my life who generously share their rich knowledge of cooking.
How I got Started Cooking:
To be completely honest, I wasn’t always excited about cooking. When I got married in 2003, it became a necessity – “must eat to live” and Mom wasn’t doing the cooking anymore. We had a lot of frozen meals and ate out too much in the first year of our marriage. I had a free summer (and decided I would improve my cooking skills so we could live and eat healthier.
I dove into cookbook after cookbook and plundered my mom’s recipe books. I was at the library all the time bringing home piles of cookbooks; I was hooked! I even read my mother’s cooking textbook from her college days (Mom completed her culinary program when we moved to the US). I had discovered the joy of cooking. Within a few months, my husband and I each lost weight just from cooking more at home. Now I can’t stop cooking and thinking about cooking and dreaming about cooking… I was born for this!
My recipe collection continues to grow. I love to try new recipes and will share my favorites with you. I hope you enjoy this blog and find recipes that will become your family favorites as well.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
I really enjoy your recipes. I started with your chicken, avocado, bacon dish one summer when I was single. I ate this so much. I couldn’t get enough of it. Since then, I have acquired a husband, who I made the aforementioned salad for and he loved it. I then tried your meatloaf and it is to die for. He requests it often. I recently branched out and made your chicken tortilla soup, another yum. The following week, it was the taco soup recipe. Today,I am venturing out on the corn chowder. None of your recipes have let me down and have been added to my rotation of cooking. I am now at the point, when I think of something to cook, I always go to your archives to see if you have it, knowing full well it will be delicious. Thank you so much for your recipes. This gal in California loves them!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
Hi Natasha
I have tried a few – ok, more than a few !! of your recipes and they are ALL scrumptious ! The chicken patties are a winner and the meatloaf…yum yum. Do you have a cottage pie recipe ? I cant find the recipe cards yu mentioned where yu can change the quantities. Help. Thank yu for this wonderful site, it has certainly inspired me.
Hi Trish, if you click on the servings in the recipe card on each post, you can scale the recipe up or down with a bar that appears on the screen once you click. We do not have a cottage pie but thank you for the suggestion.
Hello Natasha and Family,
Thank you for sharing your recipes for FREE online. BUT, I do wish you had a cookbook I could purchase as a Christmas or Birthday gift! Do you have one in the works?
God Bless!
Hi Eunika! I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes! Yes, We have one in the works! Stay tuned for future announcements!
Hello Natasha. I like your blog and it is both helpful and inspiring. I have been looking for finding recipes for traditional Christmas food in the USA. I understand that there is not a specific Christmas food in the USA, but I found a Christmas cake on your blog which I would love to make now for Christmas. Do you have some typical Christmas cake from Ukraine which you can recommend? Thanks!
Hi Victoria, we have some Russian and Ukrainian inspired cakes but nothing super traditional that I can think of. You might search Christmas cake on my blog and see what we have come up with in the past. Or check out our Cake Category from the RECIPES archive at the top of the page.
Natasha, We made the Sweet Potato Casserole, Cranberry Sauce & Ham Glaze for Thanksgiving and it was such a big hit! Thank you so much! My husband said we needed to save those recipes for Christmas!!!
You are so welcome, Monica. I’m glad that your family enjoyed that recipe! Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi
I would like to thank you for sharing all your recipes and videos!! My family especially enjoys the chicken pot pie!!!
Thank you for sharing that wonderful review with me, Joan! I’m so glad you enjoeyd this recipe!
Love all your recipes! I pass them along and tell them to follow you!
Thank you for sharing all your recipes!
That is so nice of you, thank you for sharing our recipes with others. We appreciate it!
I was wondering the brand of non-stick pan you use? I can enjoy cooking more if only I could find great pan. Thank you!
Hello Sandy, you can see the kitchen tools that I use here in my Amazon affiliate shop
Last night was the second night I attempted to make your recipe of baby back ribs in the pressure cooker. I have tried 7 or 8 recipes and the flavor did not hit the mark. Your recipe is 100% perfect I thought the first time I did it your way I did something wrong because it was very good. So last night I did it again with a different brand rib and again these were the best ever. It must have something to do with the apple juice. I want to say thank you because baby back ribs are my favorite food other than a standing rib roast.
You’re welcome, Michael! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Thank you Natasha for inspiring me to keep cooking when recently, and physically , I’ve been dealt a cardiac issue that now has me cooking and baking everything from scratch. A virus born illness put me in congestive heart failure, and now food limitations and fluid restrictions has led me to making everything I eat from scratch. Sometimes I just want to give up because it’s hard to make everything, sauces, stocks ect from scratch. BUT!! Your joy and inspiration keeps me going with each recipe, and each video I see , even as I have to recreate them to stay on my restrictive diet. Thank you so much for making me laugh today, when it’s hard to laugh emotionally. You’re a special lady of the kitchen, and you’re close! I am 2 hrs away from Boise in eastern Oregon😉
Hi Karen, so great to hear from you and thank you for sharing your story with us. This really inspires me to do better and create more recipes for you all. Please hang in there and I hope you enjoy watching my videos. Take care and stay safe!
Hello Natasha
Please share the link to purchase the carrot grater you used in the egg roll video.
I could not find the link
Thank you
Hi Vilma, I have that listed in our Amazon Affiliate shop here.
Natasha I made your Dutch Apple Pie for Thanksgiving. Oh my… it was so delicious! I’ve made this pie for years and it never tasted this good. Loved the flaky crust recipe too! Thank you for all your yummy recipes! Blessings to you and your family!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing that wonderful review with me!
Hi Natasha, you are awesome, your recipes are incredible and very delicious. I admire your beautiful family life and your belief in the Lord. I truly enjoy watching you prepare the various meals and the fun you add to it. I am very grateful to you for sharing all the amazing recipes. I thank you and pray that you and your beautiful family keep safe and healthy.
I’m so happy you love our recipes! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and your encouraging words. I am smiling big reading your comment.
Hi Natasha – Happy Thanksgiving!
I made three of your recipes for my Thanksgiving feast – the broccoli apple salad, the sweet potato casserole and the dinner rolls. The rolls were my first ever experience with yeast and bread making and I enjoyed making them almost as much as eating them. I relied on your video every step of the way! I enjoy your videos and recipes. Thank you!!
Hello Sheri, so nice to know that you enjoyed making those recipes. Food definitely tastes better when you enjoy making them. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I was looking to make an apple pie for Thanksgiving and watched your YouTube video. The pie was delicious and my two daughters gave their approval. Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely make this again.
I love your family story. My grandma immigrated to the US from Slovakia. I think it is important to pass on family traditions, especially recipes!
Hello Kate, thanks for sharing your story with me. Totally agree, it is important to pass the traditions especially when it comes to good food. I’m happy to know that you enjoyed the pie!
Natasha! Thank you so so much for all your recipes!! I just read your “about” and it really resonated with me. My family is also from Ukraine and came to the US for the American dream. I only recently started learning to cook, and your recipes helped me so much to learn and grow. I recently also came to Christ and I love seeing that you’re also a believer! God bless you and the incredible journey you’re on!
I’m so happy you love our recipes! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and your encouraging words. I am smiling big reading your comment
Dear Natasha, I love all your recipes! You are my go to! I do have a problem however, when I’m frosting a cake,Some of the cake gets picked up by the frosting and I have a jumbled mess of cake and frosting together and looks terrible. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Joan, I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes! The secret is not to pick up your spatula. Keep gliding the frosting along side and top until it is covered!
Hi natasha I want to make these jelly donuts for a diabetic so I will heed use some sugs free sweetener like truvia. Can I replace the butter or margarine with unflavored coconut oil comes in solid form. If yes do I use it as a solid or melt it. Butter an margarine so unhealthy I’m sure taste great though
Hi, I haven’t tested those substitutions so I can’t say for sure. Just for the future, if you have a question, if you could post it on the specific recipe post, that would be helpful since we can search previous comments easily to see if others have tried.
Hi Natasha. My name is Tana that is short for (Natanaela). I am Romanian, and I am one of your biggest fans.
I enjoy following you and trying all your recipes. Some recipes are very similar to Romanian cooking and I love that you always bring the fun into it.
Reading your intro blog I realized we have so much in common.
Ukraine is not so far from
Romania, you are Natasha I am Natanaela. You have a boy and a girl and so do I. Our girls even have the same dresses. 🙈 I thought that was adorable.
I was also a nurse/doctors assistant for many years then I met my husband, married and became a stay home mom. I studied real estate and let me just tell you… I hate it with passion 😂🙈🤷🏻♀️. Who knew we had so many things in common 🙈.
I love watching your recipes your hilarious videos and I love the pure honesty behind your entire blog./show.
I love that you are a woman of God. You have a gorgeous family, may God continue to bless you abundantly.
Have a happy Thanksgiving 🍽🦃🍁
Hi Tana, so great to hear from you, and thanks for sharing that with us. I hope that you will love all the recipes that you will try on my website. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Hi Natasha! Love your site and your recipes! I just made my very first apple pie (with your pie crust)! It’s cooling down now and I can’t wait to try it at Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow! One quick comment – in the recipe it says the egg wash is one egg with one tablespoon of water. On your video you say the egg wash is one egg with a tablespoon of SUGAR. The sugar makes sense as it will help brown the crust. (I made mine following the printed recipe and it still looks delicious.). Just wanted to pass this along.
The printed recipe is correct, sorry about the confusion, Sam. I don’t know why I said that in the video. I hope it turns our well!
Hello
I live in Montreal ,Canada ,There is not a day that goes by without checking out your blog, the recipes are very easy to follow and ingredients easy to find. The videos are fast and very easy to follow. Thank you
Jacqueline
I’m so inspired reading your review. Thank you!
I love you received and videos and have been watching since our return from Congo in 2017.
We are now gluten free,dairy free, pescatarians. You recipes are easy to adjust and always are good.
Congrats on a million viewers.
I am from Belgium.I lived in the States 20 years,now l am back in Europe and have a BandB in the South of France.I really enjoy your recipes and share them with friends.Would it be possible to add the metric system for the European?let me know.thank you.
Thanks for your good comments and feedback, Van Ray. I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos. Thanks for your suggestion, I’ll take note of that.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions, Van Roy. I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos and recipes. I will take note of your suggestion.
I just LOVE your recipes and videos so I thought I would share my mistake with you today that turned out WONDERFUL! I wanted to make your broccoli and grape salad but when I printed the recipe I started making the broccoli salad with apples, raisins, carrots – well you get the idea. Anyway I made the dressing with mayo and sour cream with fresh lemon juice and when I realized my mistake, I just added all the extra stuff that goes into the broccoli grape salad, pine nuts, bacon etc. Long story short it turned out SUPER GOOD and every last bit got eaten with no left overs. What a success!
Wow, I’m so happy to hear that it was a success! That is so wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing that with us, Susan.
Hello – only my second time cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner – wanted to make the Whipped Mashed Potatoes – could they be made ahead of time and reheated day of Thanksgiving? Trying to give myself more time for other things.- like the Pumpkin Cheese Cake!!! Thanks and am loving your recipes!!
Hi Andrea! You sure can! I recommend reading through the recipe, but also the recipe comments will be your best friend! Our readers share the best tips, substitutions, and details there!
Hello! Thank you for making the videos! They are informative, entertaining and the recipes actually are amazing. i found you with the beef stroganoff video, i ended up having the best stroganoff I’ve ever had! Being single, i am able to make a lot of these last a couple days because they reheat very well! Your hard work is very appreciated!
rich
Hi Rich, thank you so much for appreciating what we do. It helps inspire me to do better and create more content.
Dear Natasha:
Just a note of admiration for who God created you to be. I am NOT a social media person but during this pandemic I had to resort to a lot of online resources for my work as a church pastor. I came across your site (NATASHASKITCHEN) on YOUTUBE and I selected it out of pure curiosity. I am NOT even a fan of cooking shows (TV or Internet). Your show topic of “dinner rolls” (Nov 20) caught my attention. I was immediately “hooked” …… into your presentation but moreso hooked into the most contagious demeanor that you are as Natasha! There are people who come across being “natural” and then there are some who come across as “down-to-earth”. But there is only “ONE” Natasha who not is so natural in her on-camera personna and down-to-earth in her online personality but your PURE zeal and joy is nothing but contagious! At the end you had your daughter come on to taste your fresh dinner rolls. I noticed she was showing off her Sunday School craft! Then I knew you must be a church goer (Christian). Natasha, you truly have the spirit of joy from the Lord. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust Him , so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Rom. 15:13) You said that as a young girl you worried that no one will marry you and then God placed VADIM into your life and he “swept” you off your feet and married you. You know what Natasha, I believe it is the REVERSE. It was God placing you in VADIM’s life and by your CONTAGIOUS (infectious) zest for life (John 10:10) and pure joy in your whole person you actually “SWEPT” Vadim off his feet!!!!!!!!! May God bless you and your work online and bless your two children as they grow in the Word and teachings of Christ in Boise, Ida-who??? May you continue to draw many others to Christ by your marriage relationship.
Thank you so much for your kind words and good comments for us. We really appreciate it and blessings to you and your family too!
I Love all your cooking I have learned to cook from You my Sister and my Family love my cooking Thank You so much
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles
Hello Natasha, I just want to say how much I love your recipes. I am a new follower and thus far it’s been a major home run.
So nice Boris. Thank you for sharing that with us. I hope that you will love every recipe that you will try!
Hi Natasha,
Your brownies recipe taste really good.
Have a nice day.
Hello Liza, thanks for your good feedback. I’m glad you liked it!
I’m looking for one of ur recipes with chicken, green Chili’s, sour cream, cheese. Do not recall the rest.
Hi Gloria, it may be our Mexican Chicken Casserole.
Hello, just wanted to say I love all your recipes and watching your step by steps is amazing. I was wondering if you were able to tell me the recipe for your homemade Pretzels I usually save the videos but I didn’t on the the pretzel lol would love to make them tonight thanks.
Hi Carey, we do not have a pretzel recipe at this time but we do have it on our to-do list! Thank you for that suggestion!
Hi Natasha,
Your recipes are so easy to follow, and they have been great during this time. The recipes are delicious and I love your upbeat personality.
Thank you!
I’m so glad these recipes have been helpful! Thank you so much for sharing that thoughtful feedback with me!
I love your simple recipes…love rom kenya
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, James!
I do not have a food processor. Will a blender work well. I am planning to make the pie crust for the apple pie. Love all your receipes.
Hi Alice, we recommend a pastry cutter but also, please review the recipe notes we have on the pie crust recipe for our and other reader comments.
I absolutely love your recipes! I discovered you last year on Facebook and I cook at least 3 nights per week and always use your recipes. All my friends now think I’m a chef. 🙂
Good job, Kevin. I’m so happy for you! Keep up the great work and I hope you and your family will love every recipe that you will try.
I LOVE YOUR RECIPES!!! I am not a great cook..and it is not something I enjoy. I hate thinking up stuff to have and most of the other recipes I have found online never turn out quite like the picture shown. I have made your recipes for the last week and my picky eating children have approved all of them! Cooking was such a daunting task..I would often times just say forget it and order take out. My husband isn’t a fast food eater so he was getting quite frustrated. But so far I have been a little more enthused and hopeful about dinner. You are my go-to for recipes from now on! I have tried enough of them to trust them. Facebook is how I found
You and I’m so glad I did. Thanks for all of your hard work that helps make my life less work.
I’m so happy you’re enjoying our recipes, Heather! That’s just awesome!
Discovered your website recently on Facebook. I love to cook (from scratch) and have tried some of your recipes. This evening I prepared the Chicken Stir Fry and loved it. Your method and a couple of new additions (like honey and butter) really made it delicious. Can hardly wait to try something again tomorrow. Thank you for your videos and commentary.
That’s just awesome, Sandra! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
Hi Natasha…I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic site you have. I subscribe to your You Tube channel, and also receive your newsletters. Since I don’t use a computer, and get all this on my phone, I would love to see the recipes I get in my emails, be saved to a “Recipe Box” To pick a variety of recipes that I love and have them saved to one area would be great. I hope that you consider that option.
You’re a lovely lady with an adorable family and colorful and enticing newsletters. Continued success to you, and I recommend your site to everyone I know.
Thank you 💜
Hi Alice, I’m so glad you’re enjoying our blog and recipes! Thank you for sharing that suggestion with me!
natasha i love you your daughter and son are so cute please reply thank you

Thank you so much for that suggestion Janat!
What brand of pans do you use?
Hi Scott, you find out favorite kitchen tools in our blog shop HERE or our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE.
Happy belated Birthday Natasha !!!!!🎂🎂🎈🎈💕🎉🎉🎁🎁 …….. Love from India
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!
Hi,
I love your recipes and I would like to see a recipe for individual meat pies.
Thanks 🙂
Thank you, Elizabeth. Thanks for your suggestion, I’ll make a note of that.
Hi. Natasha I was wondering if you could use a metal pie plate to make a pie using your pie crust?
Hi, yes that would work. Just note that if it is a deep-dish pie pan, a smaller metal pan might be overwhelmed by certain recipes.
Natasha,
I would like to thank you so much for your wonderful videos I really appreciate that most of your receipies are freezable as my husband works 2nd shift and I work 1st shift. SO I cook and then leave it in the frig for him then freeze afterwards. You have insprired me to actually cook again. I have always enjoyed cooking but since it is only the 2 of us and I ate alone I figured why cook for 1. Again Thank you I now have something to do in the evenings. I have make many of your desserts (so good). Love you homemade Pie crust.
Hi Verna, I am so happy to hear that you enjoy our recipes. Thank you for sharing that with me.
Natasha, I love your recipes and wonder if you have some sort of cookbook that I could purchase with them.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you! We have one in the works; stay tuned!
Can you advise as to how many cups of egg noodles can be mixed in with your beef stroganoff recipe?
Thank you!
Hi Darlene, If you serve your stroganoff with noodles, make sure to store the pasta separately from the sauce. Noodles tend to absorb liquid and will suck up your sauce overnight! I would follow your noodle package instructions and make enough for the number of people you are serving.
Natasha
I absolutely love your recipes and cook them often…I have a question about the Shrimp patties with the lemon/garlic aioli…I need to take an appetizer to a ladies meeting of about 50 and I want to take this recipe. I am wondering if I could put it in a mini muffin tin with perhaps a croissant used as a pie crust and put a small scope on it to bake…It would be just a bit and easier to serve in this Covid world…I would brush the aioli on just before serving. Do you think this would work? How long do I bake to make sure it is done? Any suggestion…
Hi Linda, I haven’t tested that but it sounds like a great idea. You might follow the instructions on our egg muffins recipe. Let me know how it goes. I’m so curious!
Hi Natasha,
I love your videos and recipes. I tried to print the Brucheta recipe and it said “COMING SOON”. Will you send me that print video so that I can add it to my numerous Natasha recipes? bsunseeker@aol.com Thank you. Beverly Smith
Hi Beverly, I tried the link on my end and it works well. Can you use this link then click print then save it as PDF in your computer then you can print it from there. I hope that helps.
Natasha, I have previously never enjoyed cooking that much but since discovering you, I am enjoying it much more. I appreciate you’re recipes and especially appreciate the advice and hints that you provide along with your videos. I also like that you include the nutritional info;however, I don’t see any serving size reference included. Am I just missing it or how can I determine a serving size with your recipes when counting calories?
Hello Patricia, the serving size is in the recipe card, when at the recipe you may click on Jump to recipe and there you will be able to see the number of servings.
hi Natasha
i am following your Instagram page and I received a message saying I have won $1000 and to register with my details..
do you share this kind of information with your followers?
Hi Hassini, it is a fake account. Please be careful and I would recommend reporting that page too as we’ve already seen and reported a lot of these fake accounts in Facebook.
Hi Natasha,
With the apple turnovers what are the best apples to use in the winter months? And can you freeze them?
Thank you
Liz
Hi Liz, we just use granny smith apples for our pies. I haven’t tried freezing this after they are cooked. I only recommend doing it after it is assembled and before baking. Check out this part in the recipe Can you Freeze Apple Turnovers?
Natasha,
Thank you for doing what you do!
I truly enjoy every time there is a new recipe you are sharing.
Watching you has become a priority each day a new recipe pops up on FB.
I was born and raised in Austria. My mother and grandmothers always cooked. Living in the USA I realized that eating out is just part of their lifestyle.
Please keep those recipes coming, it is very much appreciated.
Thankfully,
Christine
Hello Christine, thank you for your kind words and good feedback. I appreciate that you’re always watching out for my new recipes. I hope that you will love every recipe that you try!
For your easy butter pie crust have you ever made it with gluten free flower? Is yes did it turn out ok if no do you I could substitute the all pursose flour for gluten free flour?
Looking forward to your response.
Thank you
Liz
Hi Liz, I haven’t tested that as gluten-free, so I can’t recommend that. I searched the comments and couldn’t find anyone who had written in about trying that either.
I just tried your chicken pot pie recipe tonight with my gluten free flour mix that I make, and it turned out great. Thank you for your chicken pot pie recipe. It was delicious.
So great to hear that, Britni. Thanks for your awesome feedback!
Dear Natasha,
thanks for your Corn Dog recipe!!! I know them from my time in Texas, but here in Germany Nobody knows Corn Dogs! So today I tried your recipe. They turned out wonderful and the whole family loved them.
Greetings from Germany
Heike
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review!
hey natasha i love the vanilla cake recipe. i really want to try it. your daughter is adorable!
I hope you try and love that cake, Naomi! Thank you for that compliment!
🙂
Hi Natasha, my in-law’s LOVE trying your recipes for date nights.
Do you have a cookbook of all your recipes made? Or are they in The Flavor Bible cookbook on your Shop page? I’d really like to gift it to them this Christmas!
Hi Megan, thank you so much for asking. We are working on a cookbook but it is still a ways out in the future.
Hi Natasha, if you ever bring out a cookbook. I would love to have it.
Thank you for your super tips und recipes.
Thank you form Germany
Scotty
You’re welcome, Scotty! We have a book in the works, stay tuned!
Wonderful! I’ll be on the lookout for it 🙂
Thank you!
Like many others, I came here from your wonderful YouTube channel. I never leave there without a great recipe AND an uplifted spirit. The videos you and your family create are simply fun to watch. I actually came here to see if you sell your own cookbook. It looks like one is in your plans. A great idea and I will be the first to buy one when it’s available. Keep up the exuberance. Like your Fudgy Brownie recipe, it is addictive!
I’m so happy you love our recipes! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and your encouraging words. I am smiling big reading your comment
What do you suggest for a cast iron skillet? Anyone in particular that you prefer?
Hi Teresa, we have our favorite tools listed in our Blog Shop HERE & our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE. I bet you’ll find what you’re looking for there – these are all products that we have and use!
Is there something I could use in place of mayonnaise (especially in the Italian dressing) that would still have the same effect? I have NO mayo fans in my house.
How about some avocado, plain Greek yogurt, or olive oil?
Dear Natasha, I would love to know where I could get a cutting board like you have in your videos. What are the dimensions.
Thank you.
Hello Joyce. You can see the kitchen tools that I use here in our Amazon Affiliate Shop.
Natasha
I love your recipes/videos. just wondering what food processor you like to use? I need a new processor.
Susan
Thank you, Susan. You can see the kitchen tools that I use here in our Amazon Affiliate Shop.
Hi Natasha,
I made your apple pie recipie.
It tastes great but about the dough, I think I made some mistake and the apples got smaller when they baked and that left a void between the upper crust and the apples. Will try to rectify it next time!
That was the first apple pie I made (quarantine privides a lot of free time…!)
Thanks for the video!
Natasha, you have such a beautiful family.
I have enjoyed your recipes and especially the videos. You make me laugh at the little faces and giggles you do.
Your recipes are simple and delicious. You are definitely one of my favorites and I am always telling my friends about your recipes. I hope to continue watching your videos and cooking your recipes.

Hello Amelia, so great to hear from you, and thank you so much for your nice comments and support. I hope you love every recipe that you try from my website.
Just made your meatloaf recipe, and found it marvelous. Love the addition of the Italian spices to the recipe. Have followed your advise on many other recipes. Building up the courage to try to make pierogi. Thanks for your fine work.

I love watching your videos. When you use a particular kitchen tool you often say “I’ll leave information about this in the notes. My question is where do I find these notes? For example in the shrimp cocktail video you are using a lemon juicer. You say you’ll put info about it in the notes. Looking at your recipe I don’t see any notes. Help! 🙂
Hello Debbie, the notes are in the description field below the video. You can see the kitchen tools that I use here in my Amazon affiliate shop

Hello Natasha
Any tips on how to prevent cakes from doming and baking unevenly? I’m so frustrated, cannot bake an even cake.
Thank you
Hi, it really depends on the recipe. We work hard in developing recipes so they do not dome.
Hi Natasha, I enjoy a lot of the thing you share, , Nat, do you know what is best, prepare garlic in brine, or in vinegar, to kill the smell when you eat them raw.
thanks.
Hi Juan, I don’t usually prepare it that way so I’m not sure what to suggest.

Thanks for your good comments and for your suggestion, Sandy.
Hi Natasha,
I just started following your cooking journey on Youtube and found my self hooked with your recipes, then now I’ve searched for your website and browse some of your recipes. Once I’ve read the part about you, omg! I’m so thankful to you, now I really found what I really wanted to be and where I know I am destined to be, it is cooking. I do love cooking, I am only 22 years old and I just graduated from college last year and I’m currently working in an Insurance Company which is not inline with my bachelors degree which is Tourism Management. But I know it deep inside me that cooking is really destined for me. I’m a Filipina by the way, and I came from poor family. And being the eldest I need to set aside my own goals to help my parents provide for my other 4 siblings. but I’m praying that I could have my own restaurant one day, and my own mini cooking show on youtube. Thank you for the inspiration Natasha!
Hi Kaye! I’m so glad you discovered our blog and have enjoyed our recipes! Thank you for sharing your story with me! Blessings to you and your journey!
