probably should have made the kids do those last night however there is a lot of clean dishes in here this morning I’m going to make pancakes for breakfast um because Adam got this new maple syrup he wants to try I don’t think I have any breakfast meats to go with the um pancakes unless there’s some bacon in here I don’t know how to look all right so we’re just going to make eggs and pancakes and

this was that syrup that Adam wanted to try it’s from Whistle Pig they also make whisky so it’s Barrel AED so anyway I just made him some eggs and pancakes for breakfast and then a little bit later I made myself some of this wakers happy coffee uh if I can find it online I’ll link it down below it’s basically kind of like an instant coffee mix but it’s mocha flavored and it has a bunch of like adaptogens in it I actually really like it I’ve been drinking it several times a week I just add a few pumps of sugarfree syrup to it along with a little splash of milk and it makes like the perfect sugar-free mocha and it really does help keep me focused throughout the day so I would recommend it if you guys have seen it I think I saw it first on Tik Tok so when I was in DC uh for work a few months back I had this delicious Bagel that had Sprouts on it it was like a salt bagel with chive cream cheese and it had sprouts and tomato and cucumber on it and it was so delicious and I have been wanting to create it at home however I cannot find Sprouts around where I live so I purchased a sprout growing kit on Amazon I’ll link it down below I have been loving using it it is super easy it comes with everything you need and so I made my own chive cream cheese and I toasted a bagel and I smeared that on and then I added some tomatoes that I put salt and pepper on and some Sprouts I wish I would have had some cucumbers but I didn’t have any on hand that’s okay it tasted just as delicious and I made myself this little uh Bagel sandwich that I recreated uh the only thing it was missing was the SALT bagel I can’t find Salt Bagels around me and I’ve tried to make them from scratch and I’m not a very good bagel maker so I guess I’ll have to practice more on that but super good all right so I went ahead and got the kitchen clean up after breakfast I’m now cleaning out the fridge since I was gone this week there’s a couple things that I need to take care of including some meal kits that I got from Green Chef I did not have a chance to cook these before I left so I went ahead and put the meat in the freezer and then we’ll Salvage what we can from the rest of them I have the recipes over there I also had one hellofresh kit that I hadn’t made but I will be be able to salvage that one because it was like a taco meal and I put the meat in the freezer so still have all that stuff I can make um right now I’m cleaning out my produce drawers I need to figure out how to use this salmon this week this is Honey Smoked Salmon it came in one big pack from Costco Cracked Pepper Chipotle lime and sweet bourbon so I’m going to find a way to use that this week I need to cut up the celery and get that washed um I’ve got some really gross moldy tomatoes in there I don’t know about this this is a delicata squash I think I can probably wash this off and it’ll be fine um these squash keeps for quite a long time okay so I accidentally dropped a tomato in back of there and you can see how dirty this freaking trashes uh so I’m going to clean this out okay so after I got all of the trash out of there I just I feel like this is such a forgotten space in my house if you guys have one of these pullout type trash cans you probably feel the same way but after I got all of the trash out of there um I just went ahead and vacuumed it with my cordless uh Dyson vacuum this is one of my favorite pieces that I have uh in terms of cleaning so I’ll link the one I have down below I think you can get them on Amazon I want to say I got mine at Costco um but it works great especially for small spaces like this and then I just sprayed it down with all-purpose cleaner and wiped it out with a hot cloth all right that that is much better I sprayed and wiped everything down I’m going to go and take the trash out and then I’ll replace the trash bags okay so I’m trying to salvage these green onions so I’m just going to put them in a little jar and put some water in there and then they’ll regrow I’ll just put them over here out my sink all right so I found this in the fridge 59° [Music] yep all right anyway I found this uh Panera soup in the fridge I’m going to go ahead and make that for my lunch so I can get it used up I don’t know if canera has this soup all the time I’ve actually never gotten it there what honey do you get spray bre or do you do you get summer break in college in college yeah you do yep I just put a little sprinkle of cheese on there and then I’ve got half God I can’t these open I’ve got half a bag of these ciete tortilla chips I used the other half for chili last weekend I’m just going to dump those in there some green onions going sit down and eat lunch and probably look at one of my new cookbooks so I needed to tackle these meal kits and basically I just wanted to take everything out of the bags and see if everything was still usable which yes uh the majority of it was if not I think all of it actually still was usable and like I mentioned before I put all of the meat in the freezer so what I’m going to do is work on incorporating these ingredients into my uh meal plan for this weekend I had like a mountain of kale in two of the bags so I just decided to wash that up um ahead of time that way it was ready to go I’m going to make a couple of these meals for dinner tonight and then I’m going to make one for lunch tomorrow and actually there will be enough leftovers to meal prep which you’ll see here in a second um I have been struggling with my depression over the last couple months which I’ve talked about to you guys and one of the things that’s helped me um in terms of getting dinner on the table and also with meal prepping um even for myself for lunches and lunches for Adam during the week has been meal kits and I’m not sponsored by Green Chef anymore but you guys that have watched me for a while know that I was in the past and I freaking love their meal kits even though I’m not sponsored by them anymore like you can see here I still purchase them especially when I need some help in the kitchen if you guys want to try out green Chef if you’re a new customer they actually have a deal going on right now where you can get a week’s worth of food for free so I’ll put that link in the description box below one of the meals that I’m going to make this weekend is this uh Euro spiced pork salad bowl and I also noticed that Emily Maro was partnering with green Chef to make some meals and so we’re also going to try this one which is the beef tenderloin with ginger lime AI both of these were super good so I have some of that tenderloin steak in a bowl here I’m just adding some salt and pepper to that and then I’m going to marinate it with some soy sauce this was a little bit before dinner so it kind of had time to sit at room temperature and marinate um there was also a kind of a radish SLO or relish I guess you could say that went with this recipe which was really unique and so I’m just slicing those radishes really thinly on my mandolin slicer and then uh also green beans so some of the green beans were actually a little bit questionable and so I did kind of have to pick through them um fresh green beans do not last a super long time in the fridge in case you guys haven’t haven’t noticed but I washed those and I trim the ends off and then this is the pork tenderloin that I’m going to use use for the um pork tenderloin kind of Greek salad with kale and pea bowls super good so I’m just going to let those sit in the spices and salt and pepper and then um some pasas came in the kit as well so this was kind of unique because basically you cut the pasas into squares and you put them on a baking sheet toss them with some I used some avocado oil spray um just so there would be less calories over all or you can drizzle them with olive oil and then season them with garlic powder salt and pepper and then just roasted these in the oven basically until they turned into P chips and then you end up tossing these with the kale salad super super good um I’m also baking some potatoes in the oven for Adam and Connor and Kira to have with their dinner this particular blll right here has some honey in it along with some vinegar and I added some olive oil and I’m going to add some chopped scallions as well that’s going to be for the dressing for the kale salad and then since the kale was already washed all I had to do was chop it into bite-sized pieces um basically you just kind of take a handful of it roll it tightly and then slice through it um this knife is a newer one that I got late last year I think the brand is pronounced Nano um I really like it I’ll find a link and Link it down below um you guys are always asking me about like the knives I use and you know chopping skills and things like that so I’m thinking about making another video I did make one a long long time ago it’s probably been like 4 years now um so if you’re interested in that let me know down below I know a couple of you have left comments asking for that so I went ahead and also chopped up some Tomatoes some dates added those to the kale along with the dressing and FedEd cheese and then for the pork tenderloin pieces these don’t take a super long time to cook but I’m just going to uh sauté them in a stainless steel Skillet and then put them in the oven for them to finish cooking um they don’t take a super long time like I said cuz they’re small pieces but that way they stay juicy and don’t dry out um for the green beans I glazed these with some soy sauce and then I added some seasoning and some cashews that came in the green Chef box I did taste one to make sure that they were seasoned properly and then for the fillet I’m just sautéing those in a pan on both sides until they are cooked through and then that kit this was the Emily Maro one this came um with the I think it was Ginger lime aoli um and the green beans and it was really good if you guys can get your hands on any of those Emily Maro meal kits definitely um recommend it cuz I’ve tried several of them now and then this is what I had for dinner um the pork with the kale salad and the pita chips and then there was like this yogurt um kind of dressing that you put on top it was really good and then of course I had an extra one so I went ahead and packed that up in a meal prep container and then I ate this for lunch later in the week I put the dressing obviously separate in a little dressing cup and then the pita chips I just put those in um a Ziploc bag so they would stay crisp okay hey guys good morning um I it’s Sunday morning if I didn’t tell you that I was supposed to get well I wasn’t supposed to but my goal was to get my Easter video posted last weekend actually on Easter Sunday but by the time everyone left our house and I got everything cleaned up I worked on starting to edit it but I didn’t get it done so I’m going to go ahead and post that today which it’s a week later but it’s fine it’s fine so I’m working on that right now actually it’s not even morning anymore it’s 12:07 we actually went and got um I told Adam I’m like I want to go get McDonald’s this morning for breakfast because the uh Bagels the breakfast bagels are back our McDonald’s I have not had one of those in so long they used to have them all the time and then I think at a lot of McDonald’s they got rid of them and then the only place I was ever able to find one is like one time randomly when I was in Chicago for work I they had one at the Chicago um McDonald’s I went to for work one day but anyway um I was like I want to go get one of those and I normally don’t like go out and get breakfast obviously during the week especially when I’m working from home and I certainly don’t necessarily want to Door Dash it because I mean I’m not opposed to doing that but you know then it’s going to cost like $80 for breakfast so anyway we went and got that and I got a flat white from Starbucks and of course I had to get a elite uh Diet Coke from McDonald’s the best um okay so I’m going to go and Export this video upload it to YouTube and need get all the links in the description box make a thumbnail all that stuff always takes a lot longer than I think it’s going to it’s like are are you am I new at this no I’m not but here we are yeah I’m kind of hungry now though so I’m like thinking what am I going to have for lunch I have a green Chef meal that I want to prep and it’s a chees serving one so I could like eat part for lunch and then prep the other part for this week so maybe I’ll do that um we’re also going to go to a movie later the Godzilla what is it Godzilla versus Kong I don’t know Connor wants to go see it so we’re going to go see that at 4: um other than that I really want to get some like video planning done today work on that I’m like already behind in April so I’m I’m motivating myself to get that done and then um oh Adam’s work is having a women’s professional clothing drive so they do it every year basically to help out uh women in need who need like business casual clothes for job interviews and so they take like all kinds of like business casual you know slacks dresses Blazers shoes all kinds of stuff and it just so happens that I have quite a few things that I want to take off my hands so I’m going to go work on that um later today and then possibly sort through my closet and see what else I can kind of get out of here and post on Poshmark or donate or donate to Goodwill or whatever there’s lots of stuff I need to go through and then the other thing I want to get done today is to order groceries and prep some of that produce fruit veggies stuff like that all right so I’m going to go ahead and make this saky salmon with cranberry walnut couscous it sounds really good I’m actually going to eat one today for lunch and then prep the other one for a meal this week so I went ahead last night and thaw the salmon out since I had it in the freezer previously and this is just scky salmon great quality I seasoned it with salt and then there was like a cumin um coriander oregano mixture that came with the kit so I seasoned that we’re going to go ahead and sear it on the stove top to start and then roast it in the oven so I’m just going to add this is a non-stick pan so I’m going to add a bit of olive oil I’m going to add a little bit to the salmon too just cuz I want to make sure it doesn’t stick and then in this pot over here I’m going to cook the Pearl couscous so I’ve got some water in there some salt and some stock concentrate [Music] so I’m going to go ahead and slice this shallot thinly that is for the couscous this was a super delicious meal as well I love the flavor combination in this one in fact I saved the recipe card so that I could recreate it on my own um here’s the remainder of that kale that I had washed up so I’m just cutting this up small that’s actually going to go in a skillet and get tossed with the warm couscous rather than a cold kale salad and then and I am also chopping up some cranberries which are going to go into the couscous as well so I’m sautéing the kale and the shallot um in a little bit of oil I’m adding the stock concentrate to there I’ll add a little bit of water just to rehydrate that and then once the couscous was cooked I drained that put it into the skillet and just kind of sauteed everything just so it would come together I believe there’s walnuts in here also so I added those along with the cranberry and seasoned it with some salt and pepper turned out so good and it was like the perfect compliment to that warm salmon um this also made a great meal prep so I ate this for lunch I did take the salmon skin off before I put it in the bowl just so I could eat everything easily together the dressing on top was really good and yeah this one packed up perfect for a meal prep as well obviously I put the dressing separate cuz you don’t want to heat that up that’s always just something to keep in mind when you meal prep things if you have sauces that can’t be heated up I always like to put those separate super delicious okay so I haven’t talked to you guys since I think it was like lunchtime I got my video posted and then we ended up just kind of eating like a snacky supper and then going to a late movie at 700 p.m. I think it was yeah and so we just got home a little bit ago it’s about 9:20 and I scheduled my groceries to come while we were gone so those are already here I’m going to show you guys a grocery haul I’m not sure how much I’m going to get done on the uh clothing donating front tonight since I spent my day doing other things but we’ll see that’s fine the main thing was I wanted to get groceries and wash up some of this produce all right so here’s everything that I got from Walmart this week I spent around $300 I think it was a little over 300 with the tip um I did pick up a lot of produce cuz I needed to Res stock so I got some green grapes uh these seem pretty good and firm so we’ll see I also have some sugar-free Jell-O in the pantry sometimes my kids ask me to put the grapes with the sugar-free Jell-O and stick them in the freezer so we’ll see about that um I actually ordered the Citrus mini chopped salad kit because I like to put goat cheese with that however they gave me this one instead and actually it’s brown and like well a lot of it’s like brown and it expires today so I’ll probably ask for a refund um and maybe they were just picked over you know it’s not obviously the Shopper fault or anything like that um because I’m also going to ask for a refund of these um pomegranate arrows um I don’t know if you guys can see the bottom it’s probably kind of hard to see but it’s like super cloudy and when I opened it and smelled it it smells like pomegranate wine which means that they’ve already started to go bad and ferment and this little container is like five bucks so anyway that’s always the bad part about you know doing online shopping um but Walmart’s really good about if you’re like missing items or if something is expired or damaged um they’ll give you a refund and nine times out of 10 I don’t even have issues so I don’t want that to dissuade you from using WalMart delivery um if you want to try it out I got some carrots I figured I would just get regular carrots this week because I need some to grate but then I also want to chop some up and use for um like dipping in ranch so I just figured I’d go with those I got some berries strawberries blueberries I accidentally got two different kinds of broccoli so oops um I got two heads of broccoli and then I got the broccoli fettes but that’s fine we’ll use them for dinner one night this week actually I don’t think I’ve had broccoli for a while I was also thinking about maybe making some type of like Chinese or Asian chicken and broccoli dish hi what you doing you ready go night night you tired okay so I don’t know when these are going to go out of season but I’m going to be sad when they do these are the miniola tangelos um I actually like them better than oranges and I ended up getting these cuz they were the same price as Clementine’s and I’ve been liking to um cut these up for like fruit bowls and and it’s super easy to just like cut them into wedges and the kids will pack them in their lunch I got some of this baby greens salad my Walmart doesn’t carry arugula which irritates me so I went ahead and got this instead as a substitute it’s not the same but whatever um I got a head of iceberg lettuce one super hard ass uh avocado but I’ll have to let that ripen some jalapenos cuz I might make pico too I got some brocc broccoli some cauliflower I already said the broccoli I don’t know why I said that again some mini cucumbers some cilantro cuz I was all out of that some potatoes I made baked potatoes um this weekend and I was like oh that’s good I haven’t made baked potatoes in a long time and sometimes they are nice to have on hand for like a quick lunch too with some soup or a side salad or something like that so I grabbed those I got two mangoes um I have some salmon in the freezer and I was kind of thinking maybe I would do like a mango salsa and then makes like some black and salmon in the air fryer with some rice I have some bananas and then I did get some peaches and some plums they’re pretty hard so they’ll have to ripen a little bit but the fresh fruit is starting to come back in season so that’s nice I was actually thinking as I was shopping I wish I would have planned my day better and went to Aldi’s today because then I could have gotten like probably way more produce for my money but that’s fine I’ll go next weekend um actually I won’t go next weekend because we have a soccer tournament we now our life is done because we have soccer for the rest of the summer spring and summer um I got some half and half some Greek yogurt this is the Cherry Danon Light and Fit um I got this to have with this granola and I already opened it and tried it oh my gosh if you guys like granola try this it’s super good um it is chocolate chip cookie granola they also have uh oatmeal cookie granola Ola and I think peanut butter cookie granola this purely Elizabeth brand my Walmart only had this flavor so I’ll have to keep an eye out for the other flavors and see if I can find it cuz I love oatmeal raisin cookies and I bet that one would be delicious um I got some sugar-free lemon lime Jell-O um I got some Canadian bacon because I want to maybe make eggs benedict and then I also have some English muffins in the freezer um I’ve been trying out Wild Grain I don’t know have you guys heard of them before for Wild Grain is like this um bread subscription and I’ve been liking to try out their like bagels and these are Brios rules we haven’t had these yet but I’ve gotten their sourdough bread and it’s super good um I do have a discount code with them I’m not sponsored by them but I’ll link it down below if you guys are interested I think it’s like 20 bucks off oh and I forgot we got Diet Coke and diet Mountain Dew as well but anyway I was thinking I would either make eggs benedict or breakfast sandwiches with those um I asked for like the fresh sliced deli meat but they substituted this um rotisserie chicken in ham I got some 13 less fat cream cheese and then some of this um Laughing Cow Cheese wedges I kind of forgot about these and then I saw someone have them on Tik Tok and I was like oh yeah I like those um I usually put them with like Triscuits or eat them with like carrot sticks or celery or something like that they’re good I got my old good old packet of hollay sauce mix some sharp cheddar cheese for sandwiches I got baloney because I haven’t had a good baloney sandwich in a while and I am still tracking my calories but I added it all up and I can have a bologna sandwich for like 350 calories with this bread I got so I’m like yes having a balone sandwich for lunch this week I got some mozzarella to Great up for a homemade pizza recipe that I want to make and then I saw this Chobani flip I I’ve never seen this kind before so I don’t know if it’s new it’s the confetti birthday cake um so I like to have these once in a while as a dessert so I got that some 2% cottage cheese some buttermilk um to make buttermilk to make KLA and then also to make some ranch dressing I got some dried beef um either for um chipped beef on toast or sometimes I like to roll these up with a little bit of this one3 less fat cream cheese maybe put some chives in there some garlic powder it’s really good and this dried beef it’s like if you’re looking for like a super low calorie snack you can have like seven slices of this for less than 100 calories I know it has a lot of sodium in it so if you’re watching your sodium you know don’t do that but it actually is pretty decent on calories um I got some turkey sausage sticks those are good and we haven’t had them in a while some of these um Joseph’s aita bread I am going to make some peanut chips and homemade hummus this week I got some giradelli semi chocolate chips um I just decided to get the larger bag that way I can get a couple batches of chocolate chip cookies out of these um sometimes I don’t want to buy like dessert stuff from the store I’d rather just make it myself like last week earlier before I left on a work trip I made um homemade brownies and we had them with sugar-free ice cream it was really good I’ll probably make some chocolate chip cookies this week um I really like this skinny pop popcorn it’s one of my favorite snacks so I got that for myself or whoever else wants it some ranch from the valley we’re all out of that Conor requested it um some marinara sauce just cuz I was running low in the pantry um two boxes of these Nature Valley peanut butter chocolate wafer bars Connor likes to take those for a snack to school and then some applesauce pouches um I got some more single serving uh chips this I like this one because it has puffy Cheetos in those and I love I love me some puffy Cheetos especially when they’re portioned out like that Capri Sun for the kids um I ended up getting this butter bread I don’t think we’ve ever tried this before but it’s only 70 calories a slice so I was kind of thinking to myself with the balone sandwich when I got that um I got some trash bags cuz we were running low on those for the kitchen some stainless steel scrub for my stainless steel pan what did I cook the other night in it oh I roasted some pork um and once I took it out of the oven I tried to just scrub it with a regular kitchen scrubber and it wouldn’t come off so I got that instead some napkins some paper plates we’re all out of those some dowy scent beads um actually this is my favorite scent in case you are wondering in case that was going to keep you up tonight if you didn’t know my favorite SC Downy scent beans is the April brush Ed aame I freaking love this stuff you can just steam it right in the bag I throw it in a bowl with some soy sauce sprinkle of salt maybe some chili oil so good and Ed is fairly high protein so it’s a really good snack or a lot of times too what I’ll do is if I’m cooking dinner I’ll like set it out on the counter here with like some other fruit and veggies and that way the kids they’re like I’m hungry when’s dinner then they can snack on that stuff rather than eating junk before dinner um I got got some tater tots couldn’t think of the word I got some tater tots uh these are probably for some individual um I want to try to make like some individual tater tot casserole freezer meals um for me or me and AD Adam and I Adam and me I guess it would be we are the only two that really like the Tater to casserole but I figured that I could use some of like my glass um meal prep containers and make some like single servings of those so I don’t know I’m going to try that I’ve been craving it for whatever reason probably my trashy Midwest palette but whatever along with baloney sandwiches and ter to casserole you know whatever um okay and then I’ve talked about this before this is the fa Fabo I don’t even know how you say this I know it’s F FBO how you say it um these little beef F bowls they are so stinking good okay and they do not have chunks of beef in them like this however sometimes what I’ll do is if I have leftover steak I’ll keep it cold and I’ll slice it really thin and then when I pour the boiling water in this once I let it sit and get hot and cook the noodles I’ll pour it over the beef the cold beef in a bowl and then I add like chili oil and green onions maybe cilantro like kind of whatever I have in the fridge and it like doctors it up but the flavor of this broth is so stinking good I love it and it’s like a really filling lunch I’m even I have even don’t tell anybody but I’ve even eaten these for breakfast before cuz sometimes I just don’t want a traditional breakfast meal okay it’s 10:00 and I probably need to get to bed pretty soon so let me go ahead and put this stuff away so yeah you guessed it since it was after 10:00 by the time I got done putting the groceries away I did not have time to work on my closet this weekend so we’ll have to save that for another weekend prep video thank you guys so much for coming along with me this weekend don’t forget to check out fabric I’ll have that link in the description box below and I’ll see you in my next video bye

Jen you do sooo much you’ve got to get your whole family involved in chores even your husband they all can cook for themselves it’s ok to step away when your tired
So enjoy your videos.Yes, I would love to know how to use a knife properly.Especially when you are cutting onions and the diet coconut McDonald's.I get one almost every day my favorite treat
I bought a bunch of Four Sigmatic products on Thrive last month. – they were on sale, They are also adaptogen coffee products. I have tried all three and I am really liking 2 of them – the Think powder in packets and the Think Vanilla Creamer. I do think it has helped with focus and energy in the morning. I am a blob in the morning. I normally have no energy in the a.m., even with caffeine. I am going to try their Think Coffee in a week or so. I bought it on sale at Whole Foods this past week.
I just washed out my veggie bins. In less than a month they got disgusting. It is a new refrigerator (less than 2 months old now) and after just that little time it was disgusting. So I am glad I got that cleaned out. I also went through 2 of the shelves. I find that it stays cleaner if you put some things in clear bins in the refrigerator. The mess is in the bin, not on the shelf.
Love the dark/black glasses you’re wearing Jen ❤…very complimentary on you!
That flip yogurt is seasonal, it comes back every spring. I'm a chocolate girl but love that birthday yogurt!
Trashy Midwest palate 😂, love it, I have one of those two!
Yay for weekend prep! I haven’t tried that Sara Lee butter bread, I’ll have to keep an eye out for it next time I buy bread.
I've noticed you have done 3 grocery hauls within the last 6 days. That's a ton of food, even for a family of 4. Another subscriber said you throw food away (because you can afford it). I hope that's not the case, because that's a sin when so many are trying to put food on the table. You said you have alot to do….just think how much more time you would have if you didn't shop every 2 days. I'm sure your family would have plenty using what you already have in your fridge and pantry.
I cannot imagine getting home to that kind of mess. Tell your husband and your kids they need to clean up after themselves. Unbelievable 🤦♀️
Trashy Midwest palate here 🤚🏻. Meatloaf is in the oven for tonight’s dinner 😂. And I will sleep sooooo well tonight now that I finally know your favorite Downy scent 💜
Try submitting salt bagel for the everything one. It’s so great & have that salt component there. That adding tuna for a protein is wonderful. I used to eat them all the time when I lived in California.
Nice video!
I know you’re probably still struggling, but I love love your videos.
I love your weekend prep videos I get the best ideas for making my dinners, My husband is a meat and potatoes man. I've just learned how to make sure it lean meat and lots of salads and vegetables.
The only place I've found sprouts is at Sprouts, seriously 🤣
Why am I so irritated that you come home from a work trip and your sink is full of dishes for you to clean? Of course, not by business but just wanted to share ❤ I’m glad you are acknowledging and dealing with your depression. Girl, I get it!
😅I butter half of my toasted bagel. Love BLT bagels 2❤
Mmm soup, cheese, chips❤🎉
Chopping lessons please 🙏.
Adding that granola to my shopping list! My Walmart is only showing the oatmeal raisin cookie one available, but I must try the chocolate chip cookie one! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Hi Jen! Yes knife skills video needed! Thanks for an informative video!
Far too much for just me😂but beautiful for you ❤
Watching this after spending the whole weekend at a soccer tournament and yes it takes over your weekends 😂
Salmon on top of spring greens
I always get bad pomegranate in those cups….i SWEAR !!!! OMG dying laughing….i have one of those garbage bins….it gets so gross! I love fried bologna sandwiches 🙂 Great video Jen!
I love your random bits of personality throughout the videos! i will definitely sleep well tonight knowing your fav scent of beads LOL
Vietnamese is pretty hard for Westerners to read and pronounce because every little mark above the letters can make the same word sound 6 different ways!
Anyway … Phở bò is pronounced like "fuhh bah" 😊
Great ideas
I have anxiety whenever I see someone using a mandolin without a guide…. You totally freaked me out when you were slicing the radishes 🤔🫣
The butter bread is the BEST! My toddler is going through a pb&j phase and I swear it’s the softest bread
Girl, I am your Midwestern garbage dump for all the mid west bad for you things we eat. I know we just dont eat them every day. I like a "bad food situation" from time to time, NO SHAME!
I love your suggestions on better for me things I actually want to eat! The struggle is real lol. If i can figure out how to incorporate tater tot casserole or bologna sandwiches all the better because i was going to eat it anyway😂
Your "trashy Midwest palate" is what I LOVE about you and your videos! It made me laugh – and I've got the same palate too😂
Hi Jen, great video. I shop from Meijer’s and I have been very lucky with the food and the shoppers. The only problem I have had is I get something that I didn’%t order. I always contact the shopper and only once did the shopper return to pick up the item. I love Seafood and Salmon wasn’t one of my favorites but I fixed it like you did and it was delicious. I have some Blueberries and I am thinking of making some tomorrow. I love the Bisquick brand so I will make them and freeze. Love your videos.❤️I want to make some homemade Tortilla Chips. I tried making them a couple times and they didn’t turn out. Take care.
You continue to inspire me💕
McDonald’s steak bagel is my favorite and I miss it sooo much. I don’t r/t it being on boycott list. I need to try to recreate. Love your videos. Much love ❤️
Hey there, you're so amazing.thank you for another quality video and fantastic recipes 😊hv a wonderful day 😊❤
Gotta love kids and their random questions! Connor in the back asking about college summer vacation is so exactly my kids while I'm trying to get something done! 😂
