Jen, I just want to say thank you for being such an amazing woman. Your kindness to these Lasagna Love families is so selfless and inspiring. I’ve loved your videos for a long time, but seeing your giving, caring spirit in this way has made me realize even more that you ROCK! 😊
I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I had lost my joy of cooking ( never thought that would happen), it used to be my way to destress, however it just became more stressful instead. I started doing Hello Fresh and Blue Apron for a while but got tired of them after a couple of months and missed making comfort foods and pantry meals. Your channel and cook book has given me a new inspiration. I ordered a meal prep book for weekly prep to keep from getting overwhelmed and to have some fun with it. You have been such an inspiration to me and I truly appreciate all you do and share with your subscribers ♥️
I made my 1st lasagna for lasagna love this week! I live in a very small town and I couldn't believe I was matched with someone 5 miles away! I loved doing it!!
I stumbled upon your RUclips...I can't stop watching. Enjoy your ease with apron and cooking and talking at the same time. Awesome! And you are a working wife and mother. God bless you and your family. PS I love fiestaware too
Your food makes my mouth water. I like that you make lasagna for people in need. Good job on sticking to your guns with the crop top. You are a true inspiration.
Ha ha! I love how you let the audience know that they MAY have a problem with your outfit but to maybe save their keystrokes as you probably won’t care. 👍🏾
You get me every single time... I grew up eating chicken and dumplings.... My grandmother would make them with bone-in chicken and it was always something we (the grands) looked forward to having. I think I should make some now that I've been given this friendly reminder - LOL! Everything looked awesome in this vid, but you always do an incredible job! Thanks so much for sharing!
Ok Jen, you have inspired me. Just signed up to cook for lasagna love. Shared with my work family and now they’re signing up as well. You are an amazing lady and very inspirational and very real. Adore ya!
Crop tops for ALL my friends! I just ordered a pareo (sarong) to wear around the house…(obviously not for winter! Lol) I’m fluffy as can be and I’m tired of worrying what people think about it! ♥️👍🏻
Jen, I thought of you this week. Our local news interviewed a lady, in a neighboring county, who has been cooking for Lasagna Love, for a few years. She said she really enjoys helping people. You are both so kind and generous 😀.
I asked on another video if you got a new camera, but now I know you did. It’s amazing! You truly notice a difference….and the quality was already fantastic! Wow!
Mom used to make chicken and dumplings all the time. She used Pillsbury Biscuits for the dumplings though. It was kind of a shock to me when I first discovered the dumplings were little square cut guys.
Check out old food network video when Rachel went to rome..even more basic, and delicious carbonara recipe from Italian chef( no wine needed, except drinking🍷)
Rock that crop top girl 😂 I’m glad you don’t care what people think, us fluffy girls wanna be comfy and cute too. Anyway I loved the recipes. We never had dumplings when I was a kid. My moms Italian so we had A LOT of Mac and gravy 😂
I just made chicken n dumplings a week and a half ago. I was lazy and made bisquick dumplings I wasn’t feeling well. Sometimes I make the egg dumplings and roll them out and cut them. Those are like Cracker Barrel ones. My son likes those better.
Hi Jen! I always make chicken and dumplings for my family, that's one of my go to fall meals. The last time I made chicken and dumplings daughter's boyfriend was scraping the bowl...lol. I whispered to her he is gonna break my bowl!
Hi from Colorado. I grew up in SC so chicken and dumplings were a regular meal at our house. Thank you for your generous spirit. I sure wish that I had some lasagna love. I'm home sick with Covid even after being fully vaccinated. Thank goodness my children are negative. I got Regeneron today so I should feel better soon. God bless.
Love these recipes. When you mentions the crumb topping it reminded me of my nephew. I used Ritz once and he was like eww I don't like it (but he did eat it) so the next time I left it out, and he was like where is the cracker topping, it was the best part. Lol.
From one fluffy girl to another...you go girl, let it all hang out! More power to you! You always dress pretty, I'm jealous, love your channel. Been watching daily for a couple of years. 👋😊💗
Garofalo is one of the best authentic Italian pasta brands we have in Italy and I buy it all the time! Bucatini are specific for pasta all’amatriciana and for carbonara we usually use spaghetti or rigatoni. Next time, try not to use garlic, as this is not included in the original recipe and use guanciale (the pork’s cheek) and just pecorino. Enjoy!! ☺️
A note about Thrive Market (which I love and have used for a couple years)....if you order frozen items they are a separate order of...$99 to qualify....on top of your other grocery, non perishable items.......just a PSA
The macaroni and cheese recipe calls for Velvetta cheese. Do you just substitute more grated cheddar cheese and leave the other out? If so, how many ounces of cheese do you recommend grating for the entire recipe? Thanks!
A bechamel rocks in lasagna. My “easy” lasagna recipe uses ricotta/cottage cheese, but my teen doesn’t really like that cheese in it. She’s a texture person. But my preferred lasagna calls for bechamel rather than the ricotta/cottage cheese and she doesn’t mind that.
Hopefully no one had a problem with your crop top! I didn't even notice. All bodies are good bodies, and you deserve to feel comfortable and confident in your clothes. What do they expect bigger people to wear? Sweats and hoodies?
what can you use instead of white wine??? I am older and on medication and alcohol is a no no, I know it cooks out but I would rather not, what would you suggest?
You GO, Jen! I too am a chubby girl and I wear leggings with sports tanks and sports bras. And yes, I wear them outside when I am mowing and doing lawn care. We are real women! That's one of the main things that I love about you. You are real. You blow my mind with how much you do. You are so busy and always caring about others AND make time for your family too. Girl, I used to be able to keep up with you but not anymore. Love, love, love your channel. Keep it coming girlfriend. XOXO'S
Everything looks delicious as always. I like chicken and dumplings, although we didn't eat that growing up. I'm from eastern NC, mom made chicken and pastry 😍
My husband always thought she was so hot. I enjoyed her 30 minute meals- the original episodes but some of her mannerisms and that “yum-o” drove me crazy. 😂😂 But she’s a successful business woman so who am I to criticize?🤷🏼♀️
Thank you for sharing! What kind of white wine do you cook with? I drink moscato which I know won't work but I am pretty much wine illiterate 🤪 I think my guys would like this. Also I am so glad I signed up with Lasagna Love. Thank you for talking about it. Our area is getting alot more referrals. Also, the first time I made homemade Mac and cheese, I thought I was doing something wrong because it seemed like I was making cream gravy during the 1st part of the cheese sauce lol

Who else puts their kids down and wind down by watching Jen’s videos 😂♥️ I don’t watch TV shows anymore! Jen does it for me. Xoxo
We had chicken and rice. And sauerkraut and dumplings
Ha ha! I love how you let the audience know that they MAY have a problem with your outfit but to maybe save their keystrokes as you probably won’t care. 👍🏾
You are so kind, if there were only more ppl like u!!!
I love that you have so much going on and you still take the time to help people in need! You rock!! ❤️❤️🥰

I love chicken and dumplings but am I the only one that doesn’t remember any childhood meals? I know we had to eat but I just can’t remember what lol.
That green bowl reminds me of my grandma. 😀

Haha no! I didn;t!
@@Jen-Chapin Omg lmao 😂
I’ve never had chicken and dumplings. I am definitely going to try your Mac and cheese. And the carbonara. Thanks lady. Everything looked delicious.
I love Murphy in the steak footage!
Mom used to make chicken and dumplings all the time. She used Pillsbury Biscuits for the dumplings though. It was kind of a shock to me when I first discovered the dumplings were little square cut guys.
Great video! Enjoyed watching😊
Thank you 🤗
The German word for the dumplings is bot boi, so in PA. we call the chicken dish pot pie.
Sudden craving for chicken and dumplings! 😍🐔
Murphy likes the steak as well ! Lol those eyes were right on it !
Would love to know more about the white wine you cook with. Your dishes look scrumptious. Thx.
I never grew up with chicken and dumplings, but rather Beef and vegetable soup with drop dumplings from the old Betty Crocker Cookbook.
Valerie Bertinelli has a great béchamel lasagna recipe. 😊
Hi Jen,
I visited Cedar Rapids today and got so excited when we passed a HyVee!! Thought about you!! 😊❤😊❤
You go girl!! Wear what you want you be you❤ love your channel and love you giving yo needy families

These recipes look delicious, I haven’t made pasta carbonara in quite some time but I think I’ll make it this week. Thanks for sharing Jen!
I like how you say “whisk” 💕
Rock that crop top girl 😂 I’m glad you don’t care what people think, us fluffy girls wanna be comfy and cute too. Anyway I loved the recipes. We never had dumplings when I was a kid. My moms Italian so we had A LOT of Mac and gravy 😂
I alway used Bisquick mix to make my dumplings easy and taste really good
We ate chicken n dumplins :) Mom makes them from bisquick, like drop biscuits
Me drooling from that appetizing dish
👁️👄👁️
Can you give me some?
My grandma made the most amazing chicken and dumplings when my I was growing up now my mom makes them♥️
That dish looked amazing! What a Chef!
Murphy eyeing that steak like 👀👅🥩
Tip for whomever-I made carbanara the other night with leftover ham and bacon and got rave reviews:)
Where do you get your plates from? The black one in this video and the gray ones I saw in another video are SO cute!

We always added an egg to out dumpling dough

I signed up to volunteer for LL. I’m making my first delivery tomorrow!! Thanks for sharing the opportunity!!
Love potatoe dumplings. Try it with gnocchi!!
Everything looks so yummy!!!!!

I wonder if I spied a crop top. You look super cute in it! Happy Weekend!
All of these meals look so good! I made your fish cakes recipe, I used cod too and they turned out perfectly, we loved them.
My favorite thing from Thrive is the mild salsa. It is the best. Also the take/bake bread. I love that it’s shelf stable
I can’t begin to tell you how many times I watched my dear mother make dumplings, just like you did
From one fluffy girl to another...you go girl, let it all hang out! More power to you! You always dress pretty, I'm jealous, love your channel. Been watching daily for a couple of years. 👋😊💗
Thank you so much!!
Loved the Mac and cheese recipe! LovefromFL 💕
Girl you rock the crop top!!!!
Jen- You are just amazing how do you do it all????
Ooo that carbonara looks fantastic. Yum. I have always been intimidated by the whole egg tempering process. I may give this one a try.
Also, evoo 👩🍳
Yes, it was my favorite meal my mother cooked. She made her own dumplings.
I cried so much watching this 🧡 you are just a gem in every aspect.
I love chicken and dumplings, but never had it growing up, I started eating it when I went to college in the south.
You go girl being a chubby girl with a crop top top u rock it well lol, im a chubby girl I appreciate ur honesty thats why I love u and ur channel.

I've only ever made lasagne with a béchamel so I'm going to have to try with ricotta.

I prefer drop dumplings but Collard Valley Cooks has a great recipe for that type of dumplin'.
How inspiring! I also love to cook, I am no where near your level, but I always enjoy cooking 😁
You can do it!
My grandma made chicken in dumplings made with chicken gizzards.. I love chicken dumplings

You are brave to wear a white shirts while making lasagna. All of these meals look good. Thanks Jen.
Perfect timing yet again! Just in bed for a start of a chilled weekend!
Hi Jen. I delivered my first lasagna a few weeks ago!
That is awesome!
I haven’t made carbonara in A LONG time. Have you ever made cacio e Pepe???? SOOOOOOOOO good!!
I love you!! And you rock that crop top!💕
Hopefully no one had a problem with your crop top! I didn't even notice.
All bodies are good bodies, and you deserve to feel comfortable and confident in your clothes.
What do they expect bigger people to wear? Sweats and hoodies?
Thanks, Jen! 😊
what can you use instead of white wine??? I am older and on medication and alcohol is a no no, I know it cooks out but I would rather not, what would you suggest?
Oh looks delicious love.
You are a beautiful soul love xx
Wow, thank you!
Jen you’re amazing!!!! I’m looking into lasagna love that’s so cool!!
Thank you Jen. It all looks so delicious
How was the feedback from your book? Do you think you could do a video about it?
Wear your crop top if you want to girl! Love ya! Btw pasta carbonara looks so good...I really want to try to make it now.
It's so good!
You GO, Jen! I too am a chubby girl and I wear leggings with sports tanks and sports bras. And yes, I wear them outside when I am mowing and doing lawn care. We are real women!

Hey Jen! I love your channel! Quick question….what type of lighting do you use? Your lighting is fantastic! Any info appreciated, thank you!!
Hi! I dont use special lighting, just a canon G7X
@@Jen-Chapin Fab! Thank you!!
You are awesome! Rock that crop top!
My lasagna recipe is an adaptation of Emeril’s that is made with a béchamel sauce. It is so good (in my opinion)!
Sounds great!
Yum!
Grl..you gotta head my way( wichita).. I'll take you to ree's Mercantile in ok, and we can go see our boy( patrick)go chiefs..lol
chicken and dumplings is better with canned biscuts
The crop top comment😂🤣😂
I used to love Rachael ray so much I wanted to get a “yum-o” tattoo lol
Omg next level!! 😃
