    I needed this today. I haven’t watched it yet. I just needed a video from you.
    I quit my job last year to care for my mom and she passed away last month. It’s been a very hard day, but your videos are always something I look forward to.

      So sorry for your loss. I'll be praying for you.

      Rebekah, I'm really sorry for your loss. I took care of my Mom for 5 yrs. or so until she passed and I worked full time like you. It's very hard but it's definitely a labor of love! I was so grateful I was able to help her! It's a blessing for us to be able to give back some of what they did for us! God bless you!!

      I'm so sorry to hear your Mother passed over. My Mom and Dad died a week apart 32 years ago. It's hard but all the memories, good and bad helped me make it thru all these years. It's hard but she would want you to share the memories as they come up and smile because you thought of her then. Blessings from one Rebecca to another.

    Yes, potatoes are a vegetable in my book.

    Yummy Jen! Everything looked really good and elegant! Since I'm alone and older I've resorted to Marie Calendar, Stouffer's or Lean Cuisine most nights. I love to cook and cooked for years but can't really find a reason to dirty up pots and pans for just me. Lazy?? Uh-huh! 🤣 I do cook once in awhile but not as elegantly as you! Thanks for sharing your great recipes!! Blessings!

      Oh my goodness... Every single thing she makes looks like restaurant quality and with no effort - LOL! I'm always watching for tips! 😄

    I re-invent leftovers all the time, although my husband calls it "recycling". Never stopped him from cleaning his plate! Loved all your ideas, as usual!

    I do a salmon Buffalo dip that's just a little different and it's always a favorite

  • @vickijones9062

    Thanks for the ideas. Salsa and sour cream or ranch for dressing, awesome idea. I can not wait to try that.

  • @simpleandsweetshares2174

    That buffalo chicken dip looks incredible - I love it stuffed in mini bell peppers, baked in the oven - sooo good!

    Thank you, Jen! I am a busy working momma with 2 boys in activities 4 days a week. I always need some motivation and ideas, and you never fail to do that for me! Perfect way to end the night!

    I miss the falafel pizza in San Francisco! My mom convinced me to try it, and it's been almost 10 years since I last had it. Soooo good!

    Always enjoy watching your videos! I don’t always go above and beyond like you do for meals because it’s just me and hubby and he is a meat and potatoes kinda guy and I eat keto most meals so …. Can’t relate with some of your recipes, but still love watching cuz I just love u girl!! 💕👍✌️

    Everything looked delicious! I love Chicken in a Bisket crackers too. They are great with chicken salad. No one else likes them, so I rarely buy them. I always had a 1 bite "rule" with my kids. I asked that they take a small bite of new foods and if they didn't like it they never had to eat it again. I think it helped my kids become the adventurous eaters that they are today.

    Thank you for another great video I tried to find things that I could make the multiple nights since my husband passed away
    That taco salad looks amazing and I could eat tacos seven days a week
    I have never tried the Couscous either but it looks like it’s simple enough to make

    Hey Jen! A potato definitely counts as a vegetable! Lol. I need to get that microphone zester. I had never used one, and I got one from Walmart. It did NOT work. That salad looks so good! I love how you share low carb options. Baking with Jen! Haha😊 Yum those look Delicious! I love canned frosting! Sprinkles are not very tasty.🤮🤣 That's a great idea to make up some taco meat! By the way, your nails always look so good! Hope you have a wonderful and Happy Easter!🥰

    Baked potatoes do well in the air fryer too. The skin is perfect that way!
    I repurposed mashed potatoes into cheesy scallion potato pancakes. Yum!

    For some reason I really hate blue cheese dressing but I like blue cheese for example on a gratin or on chicken. It is just when you mix it with the other ingredients in a dressing it takes out something I don't like from the cheese. So I understand your family in this.

    I’d like to address your comment about Organic food. I felt the same exact way you do about Organic food…until I was diagnosed with Hashimotos, an Autoimmune disorder, and it forced me to do a lot of research on diet. And having Organic foods are a MUST for me as 99% of our foods hide inflammatory ingredients in them like sugar and seed oils (veg, soy, peanut oils, etc). So in order for me to be able to even use my hands and walk on my feet, I HAVE to have Organic foods & am always very grateful that there is even a market for it or my quality of like would be something completely different. Please do research before making assumptions. My daughter is a nurse. She is educated on this as well. Respectfully, thank you.

    Is the Aldi southwest salad spicy? Love your sweater!

    • @maggieemerson3102
      @maggieemerson3102 2 роки тому

      We eat it a lot and no it is not spicey- Mostly the dressing tastes like a southwest ranch more like mild taco seasoning.

    Everything looked so good. I have never had falafel and have no clue what it tastes like. I need to try feta cheese again because I keep thinking I don't like it but not even sure I've tried it. Lol

      It's made with a base of chickpeas and flour. Seasoned with fresh herbs.

    I might give Hungry Root a try. I am being forced to have ready made meals on hand. I'm being tested for fibromyalgia, which is no easy feat to diagnose. I'm in too much pain to stand for any length of time. Just going to the grocery store is difficult. I need low saturated fat, gluten free, dairy free ready made meals. I have high cholesterol and food allergies. But I don't want to buy the high sodium freezer meals. Don't even get me started on how difficult it is to find freezer meals that are both gluten free and dairy free.

    The flavor of the blackened tenders is great but some of the chicken is questionable. Have you ever had franks buffalo wing sauce and ranch wraps with grilled or fried chicken tenders with lettuce, cheese tomatoes.
