About Nicky
With a commitment to using less refined sugars, gluten-free ingredients, and lots of love, my goal is to redefine healthy snacking. I take pride in my homemade craft, ensuring that every bite is a celebration of flavor and health.
My Guiding Values
There are three values that guide me through my life's choices and have led me to creating better granola.
Be kind to your body
After being diagnosed with a lifelong, debilitating condition over 30 years ago, I committed to gluten-free and dairy-free living. It’s not a restriction for me, it’s an opportunity to create better, more thoughtful food. I’ve fully embraced it and am proud to share with you.
Eat what's good for you - and tastes amazing
Life’s too short for food that doesn’t make you feel great.
Find joy in the little things
Like the first cherry blossom of spring, or the way my great-niece runs into my arms after school, those moments that make your heart sing. That’s how I feel when someone truly enjoys something I’ve made.
A little more about me
I grew up in the UK, then crossed the Atlantic to build a life in New York with my beloved husband. For years, I juggled my corporate beauty career with a passion for baking, always making treats for friends and family.
When the world paused during Covid, I slowed down too. And that’s when my granola took center stage. What began as care packages quickly turned into “please send more!” requests. Even the pickiest toddlers in my life (hello, great-nephews and nieces!) couldn’t get enough.
When I handed my recipe to family members, they said, “It’s not the same.” We realized the missing ingredient was something simple: my love.
I’d always joked that I’d do this in retirement, until my 4-year-old great-nephew, after devouring three pounds in three days, looked up and said, “More… you don’t understand. It’s that good!” That was my sign. And so Nicky’s Made with Love came to life.
Thank you for being here, and for trying something I’ve poured so much of myself into. I hope you love it as much as I’ve loved making it.
💛 With love,
Nicky
A Special Dedication
To my darling husband Doug: I miss you every moment of every day. You always told me to do this. This is for you. I hope you're watching with pride. Forever in my heart.
