You are an amazing mom with all your work and your child feeding strategy.😊 They will be grateful one day that you exposed them to various types of food early on.
When I saw that green bowl I actually said awww.... and smiled. Have had mine since 1969 and use it almost everyday. Someday I will gift it to my Granddaughter. Thank you for all you do and share. I'm a retired RN so recognize what it takes to do what you do.
This may sound weird but watching you chop, dice, and slice things is so satisfying to me. I'm actually thinking about ordering those knives. I have one santoku knife that I got because of Rachael Ray but it's gotten dull over the years.
Wow… I was just listening to you talk about depression on one of your other videos… When this one came out. So I’m glad you posted a new video. Can’t wait to listen to it. Then I’m gonna go back and listen to the other one again… I’ve listen to it about three times. I love all your videos they are awesome. Thanks for all the hard work
Hi Jen. Yes, I have a handed-down set of Pyrex mixing bowls that I love and would never part with them. I am gonna make those fish cakes for sure using haddock. I've been making that strawberry pretzel salad/dessert for years. It is very much a crowd pleaser and, like you, I never know what to call it so I say both just to cover my bases. Another plus about this one is you can (and I always do) make it ahead of time (the day before) to make sure it is jelled enough. Great video. Have a great weekend and stay well.
I used to do okay with chopsticks (usually just used them for sushi). But then I met my boyfriend, who is half Vietnamese, two years ago and I’ve gotten so much better at eating with chopsticks every time his dad cooks traditional food or my BF makes anything Asian. Soooo many delicious noodle bowls and I swear they taste better with chopsticks!
Yes! I have to use chop sticks when I cook Chinese or go to an Asian restaurant ( back when we went places) ... My grandpa was stationed in Hawaii in the 60s and my granny learned so many recipes over there .... Asian and Hawaiian foods were her strongest culinary skills ... chop sticks were not just suggested when she cooked these foods... they were required... no forks on the table ..everything looks good Jen, love the strawberry "salad" I made one not too long ago... love em
I made that strawberry pretzel salad last year for the first time. It is so good! I have this problem where I try many different recipes for family gatherings and can never remember what we liked or where I got the recipe. but this is the exact recipe I used and I'm going to throw it into the rotation for future parties!
Yes we eat with chopsticks too for certain Asian dishes😃 I love cold salads with something warm added, love the cold n warm combination together (warm chocolate gooey brownie with cold vanilla icecream)🤗🤗
It appears my quarantine goals are to watch every video you have ever made.... and I just discovered RUclips last week or so... so thank you for a new video, I’ll go back to the “archives” after this one!! My feet hit the floor and saw the new video and honestly jumped out of bed!! Thank you ... thank you!!
Perfect timing! I just finished catching up on all your videos as I meal prepped and I ran out of videos before I finished my prep. Hope you have a great holiday weekend! 💕
We call it salad here too, in Texas. If you call it salad you can eat with your meal and AGAIN for dessert :). Love that dish, my grandma makes it for me because she knows how much I enjoy it.
I love Alfredo Sauce with anything, I usually make it with Shrimp, I love that Strawberry Pretzel Salad. It is hard to make small amounts of desserts especially for a small family.
You need to start calling that dessert like us Aussies would, we’d call that a “slice” because you slice it up to serve it. So we’d probably say it’s a Strawberry Pretzel Slice. 😉❤️ Definitely not a salad 🤪🤣
When you were making your strawberry dessert I literally said - so it's a cheesecake? I'm from the UK and most of our cheesecakes are non baked ones so it very much just looked like what wee call cheesecakes Also again being from the UK everyone has an electric kettle here so I always find it interesting that lots of American household don't have one
I love love your videos watching all the way from Kenya and though we may not have all the ingredients you have am just obsessed with your video. Sorry l just saw you were I'll am glad and pray for your full recovery with no recurrence of the same. ❤❤❤❤
These all look delicious! Yes to making awesome meals but also knowing that take out is fine every once in a while for a night off cooking and clearing up. By Friday that's how we both feel after chasing work, housework and cooking duties through the week! 🤗
LOVE that strawberry pretzel salad. I thought it might be "weird" at first because strawberries and pretzels didn't seem appealing, but soo glad I made it and tried it. So yummy!
Our cafeteria at work (when that was a thing) would make chicken tortilla soup and would have fried flour tortillas on the side.. we would always get an extra soup bowl for just the tortilla strips. 😬 So yummy!!
I have authentic chop sticks from my coworker friend who is from china..I need to use them more to learn how to use them for sure! My favorite dinner lately is roasted chicken breast (learned that from you in my weekly meal prep), sweet kale salad kit, udon noodles, coconut aminos stir fried with a healthier homemade version of yum yum sause..going to try with chop sticks this week! Great meal ideas in this video!!
I make the strawberry pretzel salad when we have my grandmother over...she loves it. I feel like if donuts, coffee cake, and (some) yogurts with candy bits can be called 'breakfast', we can call this a salad! 😉
I've been eating with chopsticks for years. It helps slow down eating and getting full before eating too much. The noodle bowl would've been lovely with daikon radish instead too 😋
We didn't have Happy Joe's in KC but Casey's taco pizza was.....*insert chef's kiss here*..... I now live in AZ and along with HyVee, Price Chopper, and Hen House, Casey's is definitely missed!! 😔
Adam's comments crack me up. My husband would be doing the same thing if I was trying to record lol. I like to use chopsticks when we go out for asian food. Hubby is better with them than I am, he lived in Korea for 3 years.
Everything looks delicious! Definitely need to try the strawberry pretzel salad... Dessert! That looks like something and my children would really love! On your question about chopsticks, I do know how to use chopsticks. I am actually one quarter Japanese and I took the first semester of my senior year of high school off to go to Japan and visit my relatives. Prior to that, I refuse to take the time to learn be with chopsticks because it was too slow. Once I got to Japan, I figured it was probably time to learn how to use them...lol! One of the big things that I thought was hilarious, was all of the elder generations of my relatives were very irked by the fact that most of the younger generation to their chopsticks. I guess it is very common. So I had to learn the correct method while I was there. We love sushi, poke bowls, and all sorts of Asian foods in our house! Thank you for all of your videos this week!
Oh and I learned how to use chopsticks my freshman year of high school. I was going to Japan with Girl Scouts and we had classes to prepare. For one of them they took us to a Japanese restaurant and only gave us chopsticks, and wouldn't let us leave until we could eat all the food with them. I thought that dinner was never going to end, LOL, but it's a lifelong skill I'm glad I have!
After seeing how you use your salad spinner I’ve wanted one lol! I found the same one about two weeks ago at Marshall’s!! It has made washing fruits and vegetables so much easier! I love it!!
It’s so interesting not everyone has an electric kettles. Pretty much every house in Australia has one. It’s one of the first things you buy when moving out or getting a house ☕️
We have enjoyed that pretzel dessert for years, but our oldest is allergic to strawberries so we have always made it with raspberry jello and frozen raspberries. It is a great twist.
I need to try those fish cakes they looked great! My kids always love salmon patties and tuna patties. My biggest tip to not have picky eaters is always exposure too.
Yes leftover pizza! I like to eat a cold peice while my hubby is still in bed before I make our "actual" breakfast 🙊 and I totally agree with the "craft kit" feeling with meal boxes! 😘
Everything looked SO good! Those fish cakes 🙌🏻🙌🏻 my Mama makes salmon patties that are to DIE for I have been begging her to make them I have to dip mine in yellow mustard ! I can and do use chopsticks 🥢 any chance I get. I have to have a steak and baked potato now too. 😂😂
I grew up with Happy Joe's pizza in the Overland Park area in Kansas City. It was the best. I assume it was the same company/family. I wish it was still around here. No other pizza compares. We love leftover pizza also. We usually order one large pizza per person since we all like different toppings. I sometimes even freeze some of mine and it tastes good later. I also make the pretzel salad. I agree when you have that salad you don't need or want dessert.
LoL Jen I was just checking RUclips to see if you posted a video.low and behold you just appeared... I look forward to your videos. you are my all time favourite RUclipsr!!
Me and my 9 year old son Jonah use chopsticks with all of our Asian style dishes. We have become pros!! Lol. He even uses them when he eats his ramen! 😜
Corelle makes shallow bowls like that...my husband and I eat practically every meal in them...unless we have a steak😂.... and actually I feed my grandsons ( Connor and Colin) most of their meals in them. Happy fourth to you and your family...I will have to try your recipe for that strawberry dessert ..looks scrumptious!
Good evening Jen!! Perfect timing I was just about to go to bed because nothing was on TV or RUclips then your video comes through so I'll watch it then go to bed. Thank you for another great video of delicious meals and dessert. I'm definitely going to be adding these to my meal plan for the month of July. Hope you have a great evening and weekend. Happy 4th of July Chapin family!!

Why am I always so excited when you post a video?! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
You’re awesome. Thanks for sharing all your tricks! Love from Oregon!
Jen i just love watching your videos your food always looks so delicious!💕
Thank you so much!!
It is 2:26 am and I just discovered your channel. Now I won’t go to sleep binge watching 😂. Loved this!!!
My momma used to make that strawberry and pretzel “salad” for every pot luck or family gathering. One of my absolute favorites!
Mine to its soooooo delish!!😊

I always use chopsticks with Asian dishes too!👍💪🍜🍱.
I love all your videos, but this one was one of the best. So many great recipes!😋🙏🙏🙏🥰
In one word “ Amazing”. I always love watching your videos.

Dusti Boring aw thanks!
Jen I love how u make such fancy dishes at home!
I made the dessert back in April for my hubby’s bday and we liked it, it was just a lot for two of us ☺️next time I will cut the recipe in half .
Yes! I always use chop sticks with my Aidan food as well! Makes it taste better. 😋😋😋
Sweet!! More meal plan, and new recipes!!! Thanks
Perfect timing! I just finished catching up on all your videos as I meal prepped and I ran out of videos before I finished my prep. Hope you have a great holiday weekend! 💕
Hope you enjoy!
We call it salad here too, in Texas. If you call it salad you can eat with your meal and AGAIN for dessert :). Love that dish, my grandma makes it for me because she knows how much I enjoy it.
I have the yellow/orange bowl...IT IS MY FAVORITE!!!
The strawberry pretzel salad is so nostalgic for me. My mom made it all the time when I was young.
I love Alfredo Sauce with anything, I usually make it with Shrimp, I love that Strawberry Pretzel Salad. It is hard to make small amounts of desserts especially for a small family.
It does make sense about the salt! I do not use seasoning mixes that have salt in them for that same reason!
You need to start calling that dessert like us Aussies would, we’d call that a “slice” because you slice it up to serve it. So we’d probably say it’s a Strawberry Pretzel Slice. 😉❤️ Definitely not a salad 🤪🤣

Love the pretzel dessert. We always made it with frozen raspberries. Yum!
I’m definitely doing the fish cakes.
I am really hungry now. Love watching you cook. And I am really clumsy with chopsticks.
Strawberry pretzel dessert is a summer family favorite.
Lots of good ideas.Thanks
And yes I use chopsticks any time we have Asian food,and my kids too.
Those fish cakes look amazeballs! Yum!
LOL @ Adam’s comments 🤣🤣
Happy 4th Jen! Hope u enjoy ur day.🤩✨🎇🎆 thx for all the yummy recipes.🥰

OMG, I literally laughed out loud at Adams last comment - hilarious!
Thanks Jen! Love these. Everything looked so good. And yes! I love steak and baked potatoes!!
Our cafeteria at work (when that was a thing) would make chicken tortilla soup and would have fried flour tortillas on the side.. we would always get an extra soup bowl for just the tortilla strips. 😬 So yummy!!
We all use chopsticks in my family, even my 7yr old. I feel like it slows you down and you savor it more.
Perfect timing! Just finished my homework and was wondering if you had posted a video today! ❤❤❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
Wow so many awesome fresh meal ideas! I really love cold pizza the next day! Team pineapple for sure. Loved the end 🤣
I have authentic chop sticks from my coworker friend who is from china..I need to use them more to learn how to use them for sure! My favorite dinner lately is roasted chicken breast (learned that from you in my weekly meal prep), sweet kale salad kit, udon noodles, coconut aminos stir fried with a healthier homemade version of yum yum sause..going to try with chop sticks this week!

LOVE the added 'lippage' clip at the end LOL
LOVING the bloopers!
Great video, Jen. I like to add a handful of pine nuts to my Greek salads especially if there is feta cheese in it. It’s so good.
this is the first time i have seen your videos, it won't be the last. Yes, I like left over pizza, I actually like it better cold.
I make the strawberry pretzel salad when we have my grandmother over...she loves it. I feel like if donuts, coffee cake, and (some) yogurts with candy bits can be called 'breakfast', we can call this a salad! 😉
I've been eating with chopsticks for years. It helps slow down eating and getting full before eating too much. The noodle bowl would've been lovely with daikon radish instead too 😋
We didn't have Happy Joe's in KC but Casey's taco pizza was.....*insert chef's kiss here*..... I now live in AZ and along with HyVee, Price Chopper, and Hen House, Casey's is definitely missed!! 😔
Casey’s taco pizza is good too!!
Definitely agree with chopsticks with Asian type dishes. I swear it makes everything taste better haha
Yes!! Just about to make my grocery list and can use some ideas. That salad looks amazing
Perfect!
Adam's comments crack me up. My husband would be doing the same thing if I was trying to record lol. I like to use chopsticks when we go out for asian food. Hubby is better with them than I am, he lived in Korea for 3 years.
Wow I love the way you prepare your food❤️❤️❤️
Geez. Those chopsticks drive me crazy. I haven’t mastered that yet🧚♀️. That dessert is a family favorite. Love it❤️
Love chopsticks, for eating as well as using them to cook with for stir fry 😘
I’m the same with the chopsticks! I feel like certain dishes require them. Mostly sushi, pho and dumplings.
I’m from MN, and I’m Lutheran, so I’d call that strawberry thing ‘bars’. We MN Lutherans LOVE our bars!
Yep I can rock some chop sticks. I LOVE sushi so that’s how I got my practice.
Everything looks delicious! Definitely need to try the strawberry pretzel salad... Dessert! That looks like something and my children would really love!

The pretzel salad is also good with orange jello and manderin oranges

everything looks so good
I wonder how the fish cakes would be in the air fryer instead of cooked in oil? Opinion Jen?
It’s so interesting not everyone has an electric kettles. Pretty much every house in Australia has one. It’s one of the first things you buy when moving out or getting a house ☕️
We have enjoyed that pretzel dessert for years, but our oldest is allergic to strawberries so we have always made it with raspberry jello and frozen raspberries. It is a great twist.
I need to try those fish cakes they looked great! My kids always love salmon patties and tuna patties.
My biggest tip to not have picky eaters is always exposure too.
I’m with Your hubby. I’m not a bit fan of mixing sweet and salty, but we make a raspberry version of this and it’s to die for!
So many good recipes! Thanks for the inspiration.
I looooove dinner prep!! Yes, we also eat with chopsticks and yes my hubs doesn't want cold and warm together lol!!
Tfs, greetz from CA xoxo
My aunt make pretzel salad with mandarin oranges and orange jello. It’s so good.
Also I feel like it’s a super southern thing to call anything you mix together as a salad. More than two ingredients with something creamy = salad.
Love the videos....so many awesome ideas.
Love that your kids are not picky eaters! My 3 boys were not picky either, but my grandkids...Oye. They eat like 4 things. LOL
Strawberry salad, the best!
Yes leftover pizza! I like to eat a cold peice while my hubby is still in bed before I make our "actual" breakfast 🙊 and I totally agree with the "craft kit" feeling with meal boxes! 😘

Is there a link for the Saigon Noodle Bowl recipe Jen?
LoL Jen I was just checking RUclips to see if you posted a video.low and behold you just appeared... I look forward to your videos. you are my all time favourite RUclipsr!!
Yay! Thank you!
Me and my 9 year old son Jonah use chopsticks with all of our Asian style dishes. We have become pros!! Lol. He even uses them when he eats his ramen! 😜
You should try the middle eastern salad called fatoush... its soooooo good
I didn't know you were at 100K. Congratulations!!!
Love the bloopers at the end. Adam is so funny.
Hey Jen, just curious where you get your sweet chili sauce. I’ve been looking for a good one. ☺️
The Panda Express one is good!
Hey Jen! Thanks for another great video. I know you mention that people message you -- what platform should we message you on? Thx!
IG is probably the best 😀
I’ve got the Big Yellow Pyrex bowl!! Soon I’ll have that waffle maker!!👍🏻 Terrific video as always, Miss Jen♥️🐾
Omg that pizza looked amazing!! Luv pizza!🤩🤩🤩
Jen, I love your new glasses❣️
I'm a big fan of chopsticks. If it's an option where I eat, I always opt for them. I feel like they help me slow my eating down :)
Thanks for sharing 😍
Corelle makes shallow bowls like that...my husband and I eat practically every meal in them...unless we have a steak😂.... and actually I feed my grandsons ( Connor and Colin) most of their meals in them. Happy fourth to you and your family...I will have to try your recipe for that strawberry dessert ..looks scrumptious!
Hi Jen. Can you give me a good recommendation for a food processor?
m3g hi! Mine is linked in the description box of this video :)
Hi Jen,
I love my Pyrex Bowls that we’re handed down from my grandma to my mom and then to me, mine are really really old.
Good evening Jen!! Perfect timing I was just about to go to bed because nothing was on TV or RUclips then your video comes through so I'll watch it then go to bed. Thank you for another great video of delicious meals and dessert. I'm definitely going to be adding these to my meal plan for the month of July. Hope you have a great evening and weekend.
