Everyone's love language is different. My mum would always make my dad's lunches for many years when he worked and studied full time. Their love language was acts of service, I never heard them say "I love you" but they sure did show it in many other ways. My mum would cook for him and make his favorite meals and lunches every day, and my dad always made sure the car was full with gas, brings all the shopping inside, fixes everything in the house, and looks out for her in many other ways. It's their love language
She’s inspired to me start making my husbands lunches. I see him tired and he still goes to work to provide for our little family. I wanted to show my appreciation. I def get up early to cook for him in the mornings and make him dinners at night but I’m trying to do the lunches.. He also works and studies full time. Your parents story is beautiful . ♥️♥️♥️My love language is food too lollll
This message is for Josh; dude I hope you realize how lucky you are! We the people love love love Kristin❤
Aw 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yesssss chileeee
I couldn’t agree more ^
Yes Totally agree! He's a lucky guy to have you, KristIn! Hands-down, Wife of the Year!💞
I AGREE 100%
“I don’t want to deprive him because of my own weirdness.” 🤣 Love it! ( I’m not a seafood fan either)
We're the opposite. I love seafood and he hates it. But he still cooks me amazing seafood meals ❤
Same
Even the smell!!🤮
@@agirly1503 we have 2 people that regularly microwave fish in the office break room at lunch .. middle of the building .. whole place reeks for hours .. wish they would learn cold meals
Josh is so lucky to have you making those lunches & not getting the same thing day after day.
Take notes Bonnie
@@packthebud7412 WTF?
❤️❤️❤️
Lazy Josh
@@Karincl7 hater?
I love this! I know my husbands so embarrassed about his lunch. All the guys in the office go out and spend $15-$20 everyday and my man is left there eating a sack lunch cuz were trying to save money for our next renovation. These ideas are much more adult like than just some ritz pepperoni and cheese slices. Thank u thank u thank u ❤👍
So happy to help! I think it’s very smart to save that way, I was always the same when I worked outside of the home. Everyone else would spend so much money eating out but I preferred to bring my own stuff most of the time.
Don't feel bad. My husband and I are very well off financially and we both still pack our lunches. In our case we find it's healthier, cuts down on food waste and product waste and it's not really inconvenient. I usually pack our lunches while we clean up after dinner so it doesn't feel like an extra chore. You go girl, good luck on your renovation! We are getting ready to redo 2 bathrooms in our house
Shoot my son is happy with two sandwiches. His GF won't even get up to make him that. Tell him to add up 20× all the days he works a month and x that by 12. He is saving that much money a year. Nothing embarrassing about saving money. I'd be embarrassed about spending money so carelessly.
My husband wud hear from me 😠spending $20 day for lunch.
It's funny because at my work place it's the opposite. People feel like they need an excuse to buy their lunch almost like they're 'lazy' for not cooking or eating take out. But nobody should feel embarrassed either way. I always bring my own, and once in a while feel like take out it's all good 🙌🏾
Not sure if someone has already mentioned it, but to keep your patties in shape and not falling apart, I normally form my patties and then let them sit in the fridge for an hour and that helps them stay together 😊 love your videos!!
I love it when I see someone really try to take care and to please their spouse. You are truly a wonderful partner.♥️♥️💕
Thank you! 💕❤️
So if you ever get a bitter Cucumber again, cut about a ½ inch off the end and rub the two cut parts against each other until you see a white foam. After that your Cucumber won't be butter anymore 😊
Oh ty for sharing that! Sometines i get the worst ones. Ty!
@@katiejenkins4532 Me too! And I never knew that was a trick until I started gardening this year and someone in a gardening group let me know!
Good to know, thank you!
Thank you for that tip! ❤️
I’ve never heard this! Thank you!
I hope Josh knows how lucky he is. You’re such a sweet person and what a wonderful act of love to make his lunch like that every day!
Thank you ☺️❤️
My exact thoughts!
Feeding your husband a bunch of process crap and factory-farmed rotisserie chicken and package nonsense is not being lucky LOL he'll be dead of a heart attack by 40
Re: salmon patties. Next time let the mixture rest in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. It will hold together better.
I understand “truly an act of love” to a whole other level. My husband and I were together for over 5 years before I finally broke down and made him meatloaf for dinner. Now he requests meatloaf multiple times a month. I have decided to get smart and make four or five at a time and freeze them. Love watching your lunch box videos! My husband is a tree climber and I try to come up with new lunches for him!
That’s so smart to freeze them! I need to start doing that. Thank you for watching ❤️
I would love a “what I pack in my kids lunchbox”! I need ideas!
Same. I usually do one week of PB&J then a week of lunch meat sandwiches. School year starts in two weeks & they're already complaining about not wanting sandwiches. UGH... lol
I’m filming one this week ❤️
seeing all the love and work you put into your husband's lunches is so heartwarming. It reminds me of all the great lunches my mom made for me growing up, your video brought me to text and her and thank her for it all!
Every time I watch one of your videos I get so excited for you and your husband...Sharing your story about making another go at your marriage is a blessing to me and so many people. I pray God's grace and mercy over your family...
I so agree with you Sam. I thought it was so brave of Kristin to tell it & also so inspiring. They didn't take the "easy" way out, which isn't easy at all. I truly respect & admire them both for their commitment to keep their family together & working thru the problems.
You’re so sweet, thank you so much! Sometimes I get embarrassed for putting it out there that we ever had such problems but I also always want to be honest and comments like this help. ❤️
Love how quick and simple your meals are
There’s nothing sweeter than a mama doing her best for her family. You’re so appreciated Kristin!
constantly binge watching your videos, so much love!
The love and thoughtfulness that goes into packing your husband's lunch is beautiful! What a blessing you are to him. 💟
Nothing else may be clear to you, the mind might be in worries but know that one thing is sure about today. God’s blessings will be on you this Wednesday and the day next to it. Happy Wednesday.
Needed this today 🙌 😍
I need that as well, happy Wednesday! ❤️
@@KristinStepp glad I could share it with you ladies. Sometimes we need those reminders that God is always with us.
💖💖
I needed this too!!!
Love the seasoning on top of the bun, never thought of that!!
These are some of my fave videos!! Idk I love seeing the sides you pack and how creative you get!
I’m so glad, thank you ☺️
I love love LOVE these videos! You can't imagine just how much these help!
Thank you! I’m so glad. ❤️
I really love these videos. I'm lousy at coming up with stuff so I love the variety you show. I especially love how economical it is. I love using leftovers to make a delicious meal.
I love watching these videos! Your recipes look delicious and super easy to make! I appreciate how you explain things too. You seem like a very sweet and wholesome person. ❤️
You are so sweet! I love seeing all the lunches that you make for your hubby.
Thank you ❤️
Best video of lunches I’ve seen. Awesome!!
Love watching these!!! Gives me wonderful ideas for my lunches! Thanks!!
I’m so glad, thank you!! 💕
“Truly an act of love” girl the things we do for our husbands. I do a lot, but I will not fry his chicken livers. He has to do it 😂 I’ve tried eating them too and I just can’t do it. No Rocky Mountain oysters either lol I’ll pretty much do everything else. Everything looked so tasty, I’m sure he loved it all. I definitely have to make macaroni salad now, looked delish! Hope you have a great rest of your week!
FYI , Wednesday is chicken liver day at our local KFC. Not every KFC has livers. We dont like them cooked to death so we ask them to lightly fry. 👍
I use to work at cracker barrel and they have them but in my opinion they cook them a little too dark. Jmo
@@katiejenkins4532 is i
I’ve never tried chicken livers or oysters, don’t think I can do it lol! Thank you!! I hope you have the best week. ☺️
Some drained canned peas are good in macaroni salad, too. That portable salad container set is awesome.
That Lighthouse Ranch is our favorite, too. It is the absolute best. Your husband is lucky. Nice variety each day. 👍
The Quesadillas and the Salmon patties are my favorite! I love all your lunch ideas!!
Thank you! ❤️
I absolutely adore you!! This is my first time watching your channel and I’m in love. Your husband is so blessed
Just a tip, to keep your strawberries fresh, wash them and put them in a jar in the fridge, they don't absorb anything else from the fridge, so it keeps them fresher longer.... I have placed a small piece of paper towel in the bottom, to absorb any moisture from washing..... hopefully this helps you.
And I made a tuna pattie recipe that works great for salmon as well, switch out the cheddar cheese for parmesan, and add a little lemon juice..... other wise it's the same
Tuna pattie recipe. 350°
2 regular size cans of tuna drained
12-15 saltine crackers crushed
1 Tablespoon of mayonnaise
1/4 of a cup of finely diced white onion
2 eggs
1 good teaspoon of sage
1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley...or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Mix all ingredients shape into balls then flatten, making them the same thickness throughout.......foil line a baking sheet, spray with cooking spray.....lay one saltine crackers down for each pattie made, I usually get 4 from this recipe, the crackers helps to keep it from sticking, bake 15-20 minutes on top rack, serve with homemade tarter sauce......really good pared with salad, and a piece of toast.
*** can pan fry in oil, no need for the extra saltines, I like mine baked but both ways are good........Enjoy!😁
Like Emily said… add flour. We always make ours with flour and egg. Just enough to bind it together. Very good!!
I just found your channel and I love it. You have great instincts when it comes to cooking and I love your tips even when something doesn’t work quite as expected. . I’m getting some great ideas. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
I love these videos so much! You are so fun to listen to and I can tell how much you love your husband. Even when something doesn't go as planned, you brush it off and I need to be more like that!
Aw thank you! ❤️
Lovely and creative lunches - as always! You are such a sweetheart!
You truly make the best lunches ! Never the same old boring stuff !
Aw thank you!
Thank you for your awesome ideas! He’s so lucky you make him all this deliciousness💐
Finally, someone else that hates sweet relish too! I’ve never known anyone else that hated it. lol thanks for all the ideas! Love that it’s stuff that my hubby will actually eat and it will fill him up. 💜
So glad to come across your beautiful channel!! I love the lunch boxes ☺️🤤
Wings in the air fryer are amazing !!
I use cornmeal or flour to bind my salmon patties and they always come out perfect!!
ALL these recipes looked insanely delicious! These are also make-ahead dinner friendly meals! Yum!!!
Thank you! ☺️
Love this! That is one happy hubby I’m sure! I love to pack my hubbies lunch too! You gave me some great ideas!
Thank you!! ❤️
Tuna macaroni salad was one of my favorites when I was still going to Boston every week. Great job Kristen and a strong safe travels to Josh.
Try chopping up fresh basil leaves instead of the Italian seasoning!!! Literally amazing!!! And garlic powder or fresh chopped garlic instead of the garlic salt. Everything else has plenty of salt so no need to add more. And you can trust me on that, we eat just like y’all do!!! Lol but it never hurts to try and swap out something to try something new! 💗
Thank you for the simple straight forward pimento cheese recipe. I make a lot of the same things mentioned in your video so I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I do those pizza pinwheels with crescent roll dough! And then I pop them in our air fryer for 8-10 mins! They are soooo good!
I tried these for the first time tonight and left them in the oven too long (20 minutes). Plus i dont think my husband too much liked the pepperoni. You think crumbled up sausage would be good?
Dots are the best pretzels on the planet!! The honey mustard ones are bomb also!
When you were making the salmon patties!! "Don't want to deprive him for my own weirdnes" omg! Love you!!!! Dieing laughing😆 your a trooper!
Yes you definitely want to strain out any liquid in the cans of tuna or salmon. And it wouldn’t hurt to put a tablespoon or two of flour and to help bind better than the cracker. Then put butter in the cracker before rolling it
for the cheese mix sandwich, growing up in PR its super popular but we do cheeze wiz, pimentos, spam, peppers, into the blender
I love this quick and easy salmon cake idea!
I have a ravenous teenager who will need hearty lunches this school year. I know she would like the pizza rolls and the sliders. Thanks for posting these! It's hard to find bento style lunches that don't have sandwiches cut into animal shapes 😁
Thank you for this video. For the salmon croquettes I dip them in egg and roll in corn meal so they don't fall apart before you fry them.
Your voice makes this so much better! Love your southern accent! I Adams enjoy your videos!
Thank you so much! 💕
I love your videos! With work and and school i am so busy but am trying to cook more and you have given me so many great simple ideas! Thank you! 🥰
Thank you so much! I’m glad they’re helpful! ❤️
Litehouse is my favorite ranch too. Pro tip: if you’re a sams club member, they have a huge bottle for basically the same price as the smaller ones you find in the regular grocery stores
I’ve never been to a Sams or Costco, definitely my goal before the end of the year! I’ll keep that in mind, thank you!
I wish you could do a video showing how you meal plan and grocery shop. It’d be most helpful to a lot of people! Love your channel!
Idk how I happened upon your channel, but you just gave me wonderful lunch ideas for my daughter's school lunch! Thank you!🥰🥰
Love every one of these! Thanks for the ideas
You are so creative! Great ideas. I don’t pack lunches anymore but these would be good for dinner too!
Thank you!! Yes perfect for dinner.
Such love in your lunches! 💕
Thanks to you we eat the Dot's pretzels now. We like the honey mustard kind. The pizza pin wheels you could have baked right there on the parchment paper.
I always add some flour into my salmon patty mix which holds them together a bit better than the salt in crackers. But glad it worked for you in the end.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH
Oh! To cut down on the bitterness from a cucumber slice off the end of it and then take that end and directly rub it in circles around the rest of the cucumber like basically it looks like you would be just cutting it off and then try to put it back together but you rub it when you rub it you’ll see little white stuff around the edges around the green of the cucumber and that’s when you know you’re bringing out the bitterness from it!!! ❤️💋❤️
I just recently “discovered” you and I love that you pack your spouses lunch. So sweet! I saw the salmon Pattie’s you made and those are truly a southern breakfast classic. Or atleast they where in my home growing up. Can I give you the southern Recipe. We call them salmon croquettes. 😊
I save those glass jars too, I turn them into candles since the lid is not reusable. 😉 Great for gift giving.
Thanks for posting these!
These look like some great lunches! I’m trying to bring my lunch to work more often, so I love seeing new ideas!
Thank you! 💕
Gosh I love these videos 😁 You are such a good wife Kristin! Truly an inspiration 💖
Thank you so much 🥺❤️
On the salmon patties, it helps them stay together if you beat an egg up into the mixture. I also use the canned breadcrumbs for mine. Everything here looks delicious!
Thank you!
That pimento sandwich & the macaroni salad had my mouth watering!! I'm gonna have to try those. 🤤
Ooh, those chicken bacon ranch quesadillas look sooooo good!! I know this is a lunchbox video, but I might have to make those for dinner sometime! 😋
Thank you! They are perfect for dinner also, super good!
Looks so good for sure but the sodium must be out of control in that lunch.
Put some jalapenos in the pimento and cheese and it makes it awesome. I also will put cucumbers and then pimento and cheese on top when I'm making my sandwich. It is amazing. You can also melt the pimento and cheese and dip some Tostitos in it or cellery.
The pizza roll ups and quesadillas looked amazing!!
Thank you!
After watching this, I'm hooked on ur channel!
Love the egg slicing!
Love all the recipes. Drain the salmon, we usually drain seasoned and used Italian breadcrumbs along with an egg to hold together. Form into parries and fry. Yummy.
Thank you! & for the tips. ☺️
Yay! The lunchbox videos are my favorite.
❤️❤️❤️
It’s always nice to share some of us don’t know. I also like changing up ideas of the quesadillas. I love them. This is one of the easier things I can get my young daughter to eat also because apparently she does also. Yours look good and crisp which is how we prefer ours. Restaurants don’t quite get them right for even my daughters liking. Thank you. Great ideas and video! I’m still watching and getting hungry 😋 myself lol.
Thank you!! ❤️
Love everything you made.
Try adding "everything bagel seasoning" Aldis or Trader Joes (sprinkle on top of cucumbers) game changer!
A little hack I learned about cream cheese that you want to use right away. Fill cup up with hot water and place it in the metal package inside the hot water. It’ll be ready in two or three minutes. If that. And for butter if you want it now you can microwave a bowl get it really hot. Put the butter on the counter or on a saucer. And place a bowl over top. It works pretty fast
Yes that ranch banging
Everything looks good
When my family makes salmon patties, the only thing we put in them is flour and egg and seasoning (salt and pepper)- nothing fancy! The flour helps them stick together into patties. It helps form the crust when pan frying. 😊 We DO drain some/most of the juice from the salmon. I love mine dipped in ketchup, but the rest of my family prefers it with yellow mustard! So yummy! Someone else in my family also eats them with gravy and biscuits and sliced tomato. 😅
Try a little dill and then mayo on the top once they are done cooking 🥰
I like that simple version! I’ll have to try it for him. & sounds like the perfect southern breakfast for some haha!
About the salmon fishcakes; I make similar ones with canned tuna, and they tend to also fall apart when cooking/breading. I found it helpfull to add a bit of breadcrumbs to the mix and then let it sit for an hour or so (even overnight) in the fridge before breading 😊
Thanks for the tips! ☺️
Excellent husband lunch video as always!
I really enjoyed this video and your lunches are really fun and inspiring thank you
Great video!!!
Love listening to you!!You are fun!!!
Never saw anyone make salmon patties made that way, but it looks delicious!!!
Thank you!!
For the quesadilla, try toasting the first side of the tortilla, then flipping, then filling. It will be much more crispy and delicious, being cooked on both sides instead of just one. Happy lunching!
This is giving me inspiration for when my morning sickness passes for my hubs lunches so thank you! New subscriber ❤️
I loved seeing u make that pimento dip! Yummy ❤️
When I make the pizza roll ups I spread some melted butter on it first and it helps keep all the cheese inside when you cut it
Definitely doing that next time! Thank you. ☺️❤️
You can also use sliced mozzarella instead of shredded to help keep it all together 🙂
Your husband is very lucky to have a wife who loves him this much. I could see the love and care that went into each individual meal. Many men would fell nations to have a wife half as loving as yourself.
I love all of this!!
The salmon patties I just drop a spoonful of the salmon mixture into the frying pan let that side brown an flip them over and they come out fine ...
We love lighthouse Ranch at our house! Bluecheese is good too.
