Your videos are amazing. I placed a huge order of all the things you used on amazon and you have inspired me to start meal prepping. My daughter started doing keto so your videos have been so helpful. You are the best.
I love the snack boxes! Yum! Cucumbers are my favorite of the the “veggies & dip”, so I have learned that if you put a folded paper towel in the bottom of the bag the sliced cucumbers will keep really well for several days. And if you’re up for the time and effort, peeled and sliced broccoli stems are a really delicious addition to the veggies & dip bags. (I prefer them to the florets. They don’t taste as “green”.)
Inspired by your setting yourself up for success, I prepared 250 veggie and fruit snack packs for our entire call center to support a healthy snack initiative. Thanks, spread the love.
I love how your salad spinner is your most valued kitchen tool! So fresh! Bringing awareness to washing all produce is a wonderful eye-opener. I’m leaving my OXO salad spinner on my countertop after watching your vids! 👍🏼🥗
you are a godsend for me!! I am a wife that works full time out of the home and my hubby and I try to eat Keto/low carb. It is so nice to see someone meal prepping like this!!! I made the sausage puffs from one of your meal preps and they are delicious!!!! Thank you and keep it up!!!
You are such an inspiration! Since subscribing to your channel, I think I have tried more new recipes and prepped more veggies/meats than ever in my lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and kitchen skills! It is much appreciated!
I just love your videos. So many great ideas. And you're right about the muffins. My daughter loves the packs of Little Bites, but 12 carbs is much better than 30 carbs in those packs! I'll be making hers from now on.
Great meal prep and everything u do on ur channel love all ur ideas ur doing a fantastic job on ur channel keep up all the great meal prep and, etc ur doing on ur channel all the food and snacks look great take care hello to u and all ur family God bless u all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your videos and just like real life for all of us...days are not perfect and we adapt on how to make the best decisions for ourself and families.
I made brownies and sugar cookies this weekend and tossed I like 4 packs each of the carnation breakfast drink mixes and flaxseed. The Carnation powder made them SOOOOO good and great added vitamins and TONS odd protein. I used 3 chocolate and 1 vanilla with a box brownie mix and 4 vanilla with sugar cooks and a cup of flax seed in each recipe
I have started making egg bites since watching your videos and they are a new family favorite! I do not add cottage cheese though. Just eggs,bacon and cheese! So delicious
You have the best kitchen gadgets ‼️ I thought I was bad with kitchen gadgets, but you have me beat. I have already ordered 2 gadgets I have seen you use, how you have me about to get some more stuff. I actually brought this 5 tier utility shelf from Aldi’s to store my gadgets on. I have it in my garage in their original boxes, now I have plenty of room in my kitchen.
new subbie here :) I really enjoyed all of your prep ideas and will be trying out those muffins for sure. I totally agree about washing your produce really well, especially the grapes. I actually use vinegar and a little bit of baking soda to get all of the grime off. It's amazing to see how much crud comes off when you wash them well.
I commend you on your organization of your family’s meals. It takes some energy and planning to get good and nutritious food on the table. From purchasing, hauling, “pre-prepping” and making sure everyone likes what you make them. I cook for 2-3 days at a time and my 30 y.o. daughter take turns dining at places that will change the food around so we eat fresh and Keto friendly. My dogs are even in on Keto, they love the special bacon and natural sausage treats. I use my pressure cooker for my proteins. We eat pork and beef roasts with lots of onions and bells. My fur children are 10 and 12 and eat better than I do. Great video! Enjoy
Sigh -- watching this while waiting for Florence and thinking meal prep is going to have to wait for a bit. We are going to eat everything I prepped for the week tomorrow and Thursday bc we don't know when our power might go out. Everything looks so delicious!!
Hello I see you crack the eggs the roll them and shells come right off. I think I'll try that, I crack the top of the egg and the bottom of the egg loosening the membrane. But rolling the egg after loosening the membrance may be faster. Thanks!
Which meal planner do you use? I followed the link, but have no idea which one would be the best. I LOVE your meal prep videos. I have to do low carb for my health, so these are GREAT!
I love the variety of foods in this meal prep! I'm just a beginner prepper (although I'm almost 60). I'm busier than ever and want hubby and I to always have quick to grab or quick and easy to cook healthy options. How long did this meal take you?
Have you tried the Julian’s Bakery Pro Granola? I buy it on amazon in like a vanilla flavor and it is sooo good! It’s technically keto approved but I buy it because it’s only 97 calories a serving and 12g of protein. That’s hard to find in granola now!
Your dog is adorable, waiting right by your side in the hopes that something will fall on the floor.😉 PS I hate washing grapes too, but you gotta do it. I found a spider in it once😲.
Hi Jenn! Fairly new subscriber, but love to watch your videos! If/When you are ready to add carbs back into your life, you could look into Trim Healthy Mama. They really do a great job in living a lower glycemic lifestyle, which by watching your videos, you kind of already do! Just a thought! Keep the videos coming!
Do you think you could use those egg ring things and make egg little patties on the weekend for like quick egg sandwiches? My partner loves those for breakfast but who wants to cook eggs in the AM before work. I might try it. You have inspired me!
Newly subscribed! Love the low carb and meal prep ideas. What are the beef sticks? I don't like Slim Jims, so I'm looking for something more like the ones you used. Tx!
You mentioned in the last cleaning video about a towel in the dish washer???? Water sitting on the dishes is my biggest pet peev! Where do u place the towel? And at what point in the cycle??
My husband and I just started the keto diet yesterday. We found your channel while searching for meals. I am mesmerized by your prepping! How did you get interested in prepping? Love your channel.
Love your meal prep videos! I'd like to try making those egg bites, but I don't have an Instant pot. I do have an electric pressure cooker and a rice cooker ( which I had before the instant pot came out, bummer!) I don't think you cooked this with pressure, and I don't have any molds that are round that would fit in my rice cooker... do you have any suggestions so I can make them in the oven, yet keeping that moist texture? If I were to get some molds, do you think a rice cooker would work?
I really need some chickens, I go through a box of 18 eggs every other day. And a lifetime supply of hravy wipping cream. I'd be set..... Lol the keto life!! Oh and and about 10 pounds of bacon per week. Can't forget the bacon ,my husband says every night when he gets home it smells like a maple syrup factory. Lol
Hello new subscriber here! I’m actually going back to work after being a stay at home mom for 5 years. How long does all that food last in the fridge? (Especially the egg bites and the chicken) I would love to start meal prepping for my family but I’m always hesitant because after 3 days in the fridge I throw the food away thinking it’s not safe to eat.
Thank u so much for getting back to me! I really appreciate it! My first day back at work is next Monday so I will definitely start meal prepping this weekend 😁
I thought about that too! But I would use double the amount of eggs. I have a mini silicone cupcake pan. And it makes 12 cupcakes. I could just crack one egg into each spot but when I crack them into a bowl and mix, I only need 6 eggs!
Krystal Jackson oh so I am still mixing it up but just with a fork not with a blender. Slightly less cleaning up. But the texture is not quite as fine and fluffy
I finally got around to making those egg cups today!! 😳. They are delicious 😋 and I can’t wait for my hubby to try them. I was even out of cottage cheese and subbed sour cream..will definitely be a staple in our home! 🙂 Thanks!

I just have to wash my meat off b4 cooking....I know they "say" u shouldn't...but I clean my counters off with bleach anyway... It may be a cultural thing...but I love watching your meal prep...you've given me pretty good ideas🤗
Your videos are amazing. I placed a huge order of all the things you used on amazon and you have inspired me to start meal prepping. My daughter started doing keto so your videos have been so helpful. You are the best.
Thank you so much!
You are the queen, I love to watch your video, great job Jen, perfect I love it!

Hi from New Zealand. The stems of the broccoli are edible and the healthiest, yummy part.
I love how your salad spinner is your most valued kitchen tool! So fresh! Bringing awareness to washing all produce is a wonderful eye-opener. I’m leaving my OXO salad spinner on my countertop after watching your vids! 👍🏼🥗

Those egg bites look incredible! Can't wait to try them myself!
I love your videos! Such great ideas! Great meal prep variety & I love the produce washing tips!
I am new and loving the keto meal prep videos. Thank you so much.
Tip for getting the grapes off the stems quick. Rub them in between your hands and they come off super easy.
I love your videos and just like real life for all of us...days are not perfect and we adapt on how to make the best decisions for ourself and families.

You can rice the cores of broccoli and cauliflower to get additional food prep. Freezes easily
Those muffins look good. I'm going to Try that this week.
Love it. Going to make most of this for the week
Super great meal prep video. Love it. Thank you so much!!
Thank you Elaine!
Watching this as I am eating an egg bite I meal prepped a couple of days ago :)
I use a silicone ice cube tray that fits into my 6 quart instant pot. I got them from walmart and they work great🖒
This garlic paste is so good even for garlic toast !
What is the brand of the garlic paste?
Another excellent video, thank you Jen!
Thank you Donna!
Wow! Just discovered your channel! Thank you for so many great ideas! Your very inspiring and motivating! Loved your video!

I am dying watching this, because all throughout the video you just randomly see your puppers eyes next to you while you're doing stuff lmao. 😍
lol I know! He wants hooman food! 😜
Outstanding!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Amazing knife skills!

Yes it does take a lot of work!
A little baking soda with water, is supposed to help clean produce too!
I recently read this! Thank you!
Sigh -- watching this while waiting for Florence and thinking meal prep is going to have to wait for a bit. We are going to eat everything I prepped for the week tomorrow and Thursday bc we don't know when our power might go out.
Everything looks so delicious!!
Good luck and stay safe!
Love your meal prep videos!!! You make it so simple snd easy to follow. Out of curiosity, how much weight have you lost since your journey started?
Yum! Great ideas love ur videos
Hello I’m fari and im in love with your videos

those egg bites are the bomb.com, easy and on the go. Love it xoxo
I think the visible dirt coming off the produce is actually nothing compared to the invisible pesticides 😬
I love how the dog was like; Me want some chickie too? and then you threw him some🙈
Great video!
Thank you Chelbye!
I love the variety of foods in this meal prep! I'm just a beginner prepper (although I'm almost 60). I'm busier than ever and want hubby and I to always have quick to grab or quick and easy to cook healthy options. How long did this meal take you?
Probably 3-4 hours but I was doing other stuff in there :)
Have you tried the Julian’s Bakery Pro Granola? I buy it on amazon in like a vanilla flavor and it is sooo good! It’s technically keto approved but I buy it because it’s only 97 calories a serving and 12g of protein. That’s hard to find in granola now!
I will look for this!
Your dog is adorable, waiting right by your side in the hopes that something will fall on the floor.😉 PS I hate washing grapes too, but you gotta do it. I found a spider in it once😲.
I found a ladybug once lol!
You should use a spatula! Don't let anything go to waste 😭

Oh I bet that would work! I also have a microwave egg cooker that works great!
Perhaps you could substitute a sugar free maple syrup for the honey if you're concerned about the sugar in the honey.
I was thinking that too! I actually have some I could use :)
@@Jen-Chapin i know this is old, but i would try the skinny syrups for the honey, if you're still concerned with the sugar your kids are eating
I have a Zyliss salad spinner and it’s really good but I think it’s quite a bit smaller than yours which can be a bit annoying
I love this vlog!!! Your big fan from Croatia!
Power team no make up!! 🙊🙊💪💪💪💪
Haha thank you!
You make me want to get coooooking and prepping
Newly subscribed! Love the low carb and meal prep ideas. What are the beef sticks? I don't like Slim Jims, so I'm looking for something more like the ones you used. Tx!
I get them at Aldi, they are turkey snack sticks
Thank you!
You mentioned in the last cleaning video about a towel in the dish washer???? Water sitting on the dishes is my biggest pet peev! Where do u place the towel? And at what point in the cycle??
GenJenandJuice after the cycle is all done you can just fold up a towel and use it to prop the door open so the steam comes out :)
Do you remember what the yogurt containers were called? I was trying to find them on the Walmart website
No I’m not sure! I don’t even know if they have them anymore, I probably bought them over a year ago :(
My husband and I just started the keto diet yesterday. We found your channel while searching for meals. I am mesmerized by your prepping! How did you get interested in prepping? Love your channel.
Thank you Terry! I have always loved cooking 😀
Love your meal prep videos! I'd like to try making those egg bites, but I don't have an Instant pot.

If I were to get some molds, do you think a rice cooker would work?
You can totally cook them in the oven in silicone muffin cups, I’ve done this a lot!
i need you peeling my eggs. lol.. i hate doing them
If you take the grapes and gently roll them between your hands they’ll come off the stem very easily
I am so jealous of the ranch seasoning, we don’t have anything like this in Australia. Does it have sugar / carbs in it?
I think it’s 1 carb for 2 tablespoons.
Check Costco if it’s in your area...
I really need some chickens, I go through a box of 18 eggs every other day. And a lifetime supply of hravy wipping cream. I'd be set..... Lol the keto life!! Oh and and about 10 pounds of bacon per week. Can't forget the bacon ,my husband says every night when he gets home it smells like a maple syrup factory. Lol

Thank u so much for getting back to me! I really appreciate it! My first day back at work is next Monday so I will definitely start meal prepping this weekend 😁
Good luck Maggie! You will do great! 😘
Ooh that was me commenting that you don’t necessarily need to blend the egg bites. And now I shall stop spamming your comments section 😂😂
I thought about that too! But I would use double the amount of eggs. I have a mini silicone cupcake pan. And it makes 12 cupcakes. I could just crack one egg into each spot but when I crack them into a bowl and mix, I only need 6 eggs!
Krystal Jackson oh so I am still mixing it up but just with a fork not with a blender. Slightly less cleaning up. But the texture is not quite as fine and fluffy
Where did you get your yogurt containers? Thanks and great video as usual!
They are from Walmart :)
How many carbs in those cupcakes?
I calculated around 14
I finally got around to making those egg cups today!! 😳. They are delicious 😋 and I can’t wait for my hubby to try them. I was even out of cottage cheese and subbed sour cream..will definitely be a staple in our home! 🙂 Thanks!
Hey Hun is there another way to cook those little egg muffins besides the Insta pot?
Thanks
Yes you can totally cook them in the oven in a muffin tin! I’ve used the silicone cups before too in the oven and they work great.
I would try 400 for 15 mins to start, just use your judgement til they are cooked through :)
Jennifer Chapin
Awesome 😊 thank you so much !!
New subscriber here! Glad that I found your channel. Keep those great and easy meal preps coming.
Thank you!
Look up Cooking Keto with Kristie here on RUclips. She has many recipes for muffins and many other things. She also has some wonderful cookbooks
Left over bacon? What's that? 🤣
👍👍👍
Ha😳
Do you ever rinse your chicken?
There are only three substances that the human digestive system recognizes as food in this world: amino acids (proteins), lipids (fats), and carbs.

(FYI: Almond flour still has some carbs. Nuts also have SOME proteins in them, too.)
There are 14 (chemically different types) of amino acids (proteins), but plant-based proteins do NOT come in all 14 versions. (Some ONLY come from animal sources.).
And yet the body NEEDS all 14 to be optimally healthy.
This is why they are considered (by doctors & professional nutritionists) as being “INCOMPLETE” proteins, unless you COMBINE them with OTHER certain foods WITH them, like having rice or tortillas or breads with legumes (beans.)
~*~^~*~
You’re little boxes and packs look really healthy & yummy & cute. 👍😉❤️ How long do they store in the fridge before they start to go bad??
I’m not sure because we eat them too fast lol! I would say 5 days if they have eggs in them.
Does your daughter have any desire to help you in the kitchen
Yes she loves to cook!
Maybe you can talk her into helping with the grapes. LOL
That is a good idea!
Just remember, complex carbs are (very healthy) very different from simple carbs.
Complex carbs ALSO have NECESSARY soluble dietary roughage, which keeps your colon healthy and working correctly, which keeps you from needing colorectal surgery! 😲💩
Yes! This is why I want to start adding back in :)
I just have to wash my meat off b4 cooking....I know they "say" u shouldn't...but I clean my counters off with bleach anyway...
It may be a cultural thing...but I love watching your meal prep...you've given me pretty good ideas🤗
Thank you so much!
