      Oh Jen I remember these videos so vividly you helped me through one of the worst times in my life I was waiting for a liver transplant and I was in probably one of the most difficult positions I have ever been in. I had been waiting for like three years at that point and I got one the following year by the way but I just looked forward so much to these videos it got me through my time thank you Jen.

    Dear Jen, no apologies necessary! I was so happy to see you post and really enjoyed the video. As for that person that said those nasty things to you, they were probably bullied as a kid and want nothing more than to take someone down with them. Or, perhaps, they get some sort of sick joy out of making another human being feel small or insecure. No one is pulling their arm to watch your videos. The point that they are just to ridicule you, shows how pathetic a human being they are. If you my friend need to lose the wait because you want to, you can. You are beautiful! They will still be ugly.❤

    I remember seeing your belly in this video and thinking "she looks like me!" It made me stick around! I found your channel before getting pregnant and watching you took away a lot of the anxiety I had about being a working mom. It was nice seeing someone my age making it happen, but in a real way. I'm so grateful for you!

    We have salads, basically, every day for the past 10 years and I’m on the vegetable wash team. I cut up the same 3 heads of romaine like you do and I have a specific airtight container. I line the bottom with a paper towel, put 1/2 of the cut up lettuce, layer another towel, put rest of lettuce, and then top with another paper towel. I then store the container upside down in fridge. That way you are taking the “wettest” lettuce out first. That way it doesn’t sit on the wet paper towels or on the bottom very long. My lettuce stays very dry. Also, spinning it really well helps also. This method it gets crispier because it’s cold and dry. Just from years of experience. 😀. Love Jen’s videos!

  • @barbarajohnson83

    I believe that glass cookware was called Vision cookware. My mom had some in the same color.

Beer, wine, and barefoot of course.

    You obviously are more comfortable on camera now, and your voice sounds " younger" then. I think I watched this video a few years ago when I was trying to navigate Keto. Now I prioritize lean protein and vegetables. Yesterday, I made pork tenderloin tacos with small low-carb tortillas, cilantro, guac and pomegranate seeds with enough leftover for 2 more quick meals.

    I've never washed my meat, unless the recipe says to. Which some of those meal prep services do say to do. Otherwise, I can't be assed. Lol
    I never noticed your stomach in this video. It took you pointing it out for me to notice. Lol 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was busy watching your hands and what you were doing. Not the background. Never noticed your beer either. 🤣
    You're still my favorite yter. I go back to your weekend preps that are over 30 mns when I need cleaning company. Lol
    My favorite of your keto videos is the one where you did the garlicky/cream cheese beef and broccoli meal. I still make that with mashed potatoes or pasta or whatever. Such a yummy dinner. Oh, and your pork carnitas is still my favorite recipe, bar none. I make it ALL the time. And the leftovers are even better.
    Oh, and I actually found you in Jan. 2020 when I was just getting into the meal prep game. Which was soooo helpful when the pandemic hit hard. I was already in a good space with some good skills when we couldn't do shopping for a while. And it gave me some really good inspiration.
    Please don't go anywhere. 💚💚💚

    I remember this video! I had humble beginnings on a chicken farm. I was raised to burn all the feathers off and soak the meat. Either kosher salt water or vinegar and water. Either way, no one in my family has ever gotten sick because I disinfect all the surfaces after the chicken goes to the stove. There is never any judgment from me. Folks can do what works best for them!

I’ve never washed my chicken and didn’t even realise some people did till about a year ago. As for saying Worchestshire sauce, most people struggle with it and laugh it off as it’s just one of those words. Why people have to nit pick is mind boggling. Anyway, you are doing a fabulous job now and we’re doing a fabulous job back then. Keep up the good work! ♥️

    I always wash seafood....if it smells it's not good. I'm not giving my chicken a bubble bath...it shouldn't smell or be slimey. I'm in favor of paying a higher price for quality meat, poultry and fish....always! This is something you don't scrimp on. All these stores with recalls....especially COSTCO with their chicken and hamburger is crazy. $5.00 more versus a trip to the hospital is worth it to me. Cheers Jen I cracked open a BOTTLE of wine !!! I can't cook a dinner without a glass of wine or champagne.....LOL! GREAT VIDEO! I've been a fan since "beer in the closet" talks!!! You're the best!

      @ Hey, we are as young as we feel…plus you still look young! You have all the talent and knowledge now of how to maneuver in this field…plus you are so polite! After I sent that to you I read it and I thought oh crap it didn’t come off as how I wanted it to. Yikes 😳! What I was trying to say is…you sounded like someone in their early twenties and hey nothing wrong with that. Plus, I didn’t really see anything that bad about the video. I liked it. Jen, just do what you like and everything will fall into place! Life is too short to worry about things like this. If you are a perfectionist like I am, then I understand…I am still trying to get myself to go back to writing. I have a story that has been wanting to come out of me for years, yet I just don’t think it would please me! Yet, I need to be brave and put myself out there and just do it. So, congratulations on your YT work and journey, with all the success you can imagine!

I usuallly showed up when the food was ready lol 😂 but even when I got married 👰🏻 I felt disgusted by the packages meat came in even Costco seeing the bloody juices running around so by instinct I cleaned my meats. 🥩
    I don’t know if people don't use or know bleach spray cleaners exist. But thats what i use in & around my sink & countertops where i was cutting my meats even using a cutting board. We should be disinfecting our countertops. I wash my meats with the same mentality of washing rice, you dont know where things came from or how they were handled.
