    I really like watching your videos and appreciate you use video editing not having us sit through a 48 minute video that barely gives any info. You get to the point...speak clearly, genuine and eloquently and provide info so people can easily follow. You arent trying to be extra or with some weird faked personality. You just talk. Lol thank the lord! I also love even more that you work outside of the home. Vloggers i have seen to date are entitled housewives that present unrealistic videos to the typical working person with regular income. I recognize its a preference so i just dont watch, but its nice to see a realistic human sharing things and ideas. Thank you for sharing.

    Your son and that food processor was so adorable. He was all into it. Love that he's learning some cooking skills. My daughter cooks with me too. It takes some patience, especially when you just want to get it done, but it's worth it.

    Jennifer, thank you for sharing your wisdom and creativity, I was very similar 30+ years ago while raising my kids and having a community of people to help with tips, tricks, good advice and time saving help is such a blessing as a mom! I am very much enjoying your meal prep videos, you're calm and clear on technique and advice. I was also going to ask about your soup recipe, so will look forward to your next post :)

    Thank you for reminding me of where I’d learned about the chicken wraps! I was pretty sure it was on YT and pretty sure it was from GradysMom, but I couldn’t remember. Those papers so awesome. One of these days I need to make the egg bites.

    I have a recipe for a veggie curry that I love to make; it courgette, aubergine, butternut squash and onion, sauté onion and garlic in a large pan. Add vegetables and sauté as well with curry spices of your choice. Then add coconut milk or coconut cream as well as a tin of chopped tomato. Season to taste. Squash makes the curry a bit sweeter and the aubergine makes it nice and meaty.

  • @evab4552
    @evab4552 6 лет назад

    I work full time, too and have been wanting to try this, even tho it’s just me. Thanks for the video. Just a note about the snap cups...you can save money and pick them up at Wal Mart...they’re in the same aisle as the paper plates, cups, and plastic silverware. There are two different sizes, in fact. I love using them in my lunches.

    Hi Jennifer this video was very helpful and inspiring today's Sunday so I'm gonna shred some cheese for salads and cube the rest for snacks. Cut the rest of my romaine for the rest of the week and also meal prep our almond cran and blueberry with pumpkin seed snacks. And grill some chicken to make life in the kitchen easier this week. Thanks for sharing.

    Wondering if we can sub cauliflower chunks for the potatoes in the chicken curry ? I love how you adapt the dish for your family and add the potatoes after you remove your serving!

    The cupcakes looked delicious and i love the idea of the reuseable bags. If you have a dollar tree store they sell plastic reuseable versions of the cups used for hummus and theyre great!!!!

  • @MelissaThompson432
    @MelissaThompson432 5 лет назад

    I don't usually bother, but I once worked in a restaurant where we kept the salad mix in tubs full of water in the cooler, and that works really well to keep it crisp and green. If you serve right out of the tub, your greens can be drippy, but if you have a salad spinner, that solves that....

    I use all of my veggie and potato scraps, peels, etc. to make vegetable broth. just keep them in a container in the freezer until you're ready to make it, I usually cook mine on low over night in the crock pot but I've also made it on the stove and pressure cooker... :)

    I wanted to suggest that you pick up some of the Betty Crocker spatulas at the Dollar Tree. They are red and I swear they leave nothing behind. You can get everything from peanut butter to sauces out of any container and not waste a dtop!!

    Awesome meal prep yet again girl! Love the idea of making your own dressing. Do you have a good one for ranch? Also how long are they good for in the fridge? I have never seen those chicken seasoning sheets before!! So cool! I tried making the egg bites in the oven this morning and they were still delicious!! I’m so glad I found you and that recipe lol! Gonna have to try those muffins!

  • @MsTheartofwar
    @MsTheartofwar 6 лет назад

    Jen, you could also reuse your zipper bags. I also feel guilty using so many bags, so anything i use for meat gets thrown out-never reused. Anything else i was inside and out and hang to dry on a mini laundry clip (the one you use for socks or underwear). Those reusable bags looked thick and bulky making squeezing out the air hard. I can't wait to try those pumpkin muffins. I tried Keto for 7 days and lost only 400 grams and i was like: OH HELL NO!!! All that deprivation for 400 grams? I'm outta here!!! Back to being a fat happy cow for me. LOL

    @moleymole5434 6 лет назад

    If you haven't tried and ever come across them, I highly recommend broccoli sprouts. They are great in salads (or as the base if you run out of salad greens), on sandwiches, in wraps. I've become obsessed. I find these videos super helpful and have been working to do more meal prep and planning. I am curious, is there a partcular way you decide what order to prep things in?

    • @Jen-Chapin

    I cant wait to try those egg muffins with the silicon baking cups. I always just used my muffin tin and it would stick so badly. Ugh so I bought silicon after I recommend it. My question is and it might be stupid do I have to spray the silicone cups before putting mixture in?

    • @Jen-Chapin
      @Jen-Chapin  6 лет назад

      You can but I don’t think you absolutely have to
