I love watching your videos. You always inspire me to clean and to make small goals for myself when feeling overwhelmed. My son will be 3 the end of February, my daughter just turned 1 middle of November and I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant so my energy levels are close to nothing. I watch yours and Tiffani Beaston’s vlogs and it just helps me get the ball rolling. I struggle with depression and anxiety so it’s nice to see you being real on your videos. You stay true to who you are and that’s very rare to find here on UA-cam. You don’t put a load of makeup on or make sure your dressed prim and propper or make sure your hair is curled or your kitchen is cleaned up before vlogging. You show your real day to day life and it makes me feel like it’s okay to not be perfect. Love you Jen! All the way from Ohio💗
I like to use a bread maker to make the dough and then bake it in the oven. When your bread comes out of the oven leave in the pan, brush with butter,and cover with a towel for 30 minutes for a softer crust
I like seeing what other people are getting for Christmas. Hubby & I adulted and bought new flooring for two rooms, two hallways, and two sets of stairs. Whoo hoo.
I’ve had a cuisinart breadaker for 14yrs.It’s how I started with yeast breads. I don’t use it anymore I just use my new Bosch mixer. I never really liked how they baked the bread but they were good for mixing the dough you can pull out the little dough thing before the dough actually bakes
Girlfriend, don’t ever worry about what people think when you receive nice things. Haters gonna hate no matter what. That said I love the handbag, the size is perfect and the color is gorgeous.
I have the same bread machine....it takes a few batches to figure it out. Don't get discouraged. Also found for us, we use it for dough and rising but prefer baking in the oven.
I’m sort of obsessed with planners. I use a Happy Planner but have also purchased inserts and other items from Cloth and Paper and their stuff is amazing, great quality, professional, neutral and beautiful. I would love to see a video on what you got and how you use it.
I usually don't comment because I watch you on my TV. But I want to thank you for sharing your gifts...I am also intrigued to see what other people received. My favorite was the key chain 😂. And the connor appearance was a bonus he's just full of innocents seeing him in your videos melts my heart. I Look forward to your future videos...the sarcasm and humor make my day. Happy Holidays to you and your family Jen, may you have many more blessed years to come.
I love Vionic shoes. I have several pairs. I’m wearing slippers similar to yours right now. I had 2 different bread machines years ago that I used all the time, and then they got buried in the garage and must have been thrown out. I bought a new one several months ago and I love it.
I absolutely love One Note for work meetings! If you open it from Outlook it has a list of everyone that was invited to the meeting which is awesome! I use a Happy Planner for actual planning and it's the best I've found. Like you, I can't deal with the restrictions of tradional spiral bound planners!
I have made bread in the bread machine 100s of times: Here are a few suggestions: when the machine first starts, have a rubber spatula to scrap the sides of the pan, have warm water ready in case the dough is too dry. It should look like satin, and finally, take the kneading blade out before the final baking. It takes some practice.
YES Vionic slippers!! My mom got me a pair for my birthday that is in March. So with going to work from home life, they became my work shoes😂 I love them and got another pair for Christmas! The support is so good.
Omg Connor kissing your cheek is every parent’s dream 😭I have a 3 month old son and get teary thinking of the day my son will (hopefully!) treat me the same way!
I have one of those little fridges on my desk at work. I love it. Had it for over a year. Holds my Coke Zero and i put small lunches in ..like a baggie of cheese and a sandwich. Works great. Everyone is so jealous all the time. Lol
When I had a bread machine I only used it for dough. It's awesome for pizza dough! I didn't like the really hard crusts it always made so I liked to put the dough into a regular bread pan and baked in the oven.
It takes some practice to get the hang of using the bread machine. Here is what I learned: 1). When the dough is first mixing, use a rubber spatula to scrape down the dough. 2) Have a little extra warm water to pour in if the dough looks dry, and 3) I always put on the pasta cycle, take out the dough, knead it for a few minutes and then put it in a bread pan, let it rise for an hour and bake it in the overnight.
First thing.... I love my bread machine! I have tried for several years to make bread and I just can’t. But I can in that! I make pizza dough, rolls, cinnamon bread etc. I do recommend keeping a smaller rubber scraper handy to knock down the sides as it mixes. And always put things in it in order. Welcome to the bread machine world! I Funny!! I heard my washer/dryer go off while watching and I totally went to my laundry room! Lol 🤣 nothing was inside. I wish you could have seen how confused I was! It was totally funny! ( we have the same machines). I love how real your videos are. Thank you for sharing your life with us! Happy 2021!
My family all know me so well! My Starbucks habit is very well supported and my app is LOADED for several months! Love seeing what you got. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I'm totally here for more pen-and-paper content. I saw you comment on someone else's planner video (maybe Sam at Happily A Housewife?) and got stoked for potential planner chat with you!
Thanks for sharing that meeting notes notebook!! I should’ve known something like this exists and I NEED it!!! I’d love a video on how you stay organized with work because I STRUGGLE.
I'm an experienced bread maker / bread machine user. 2 tips: When using wheat flour, always add vital wheat gluten as well. Also, when measuring flour for bread, spoon the flour in to a cup and level off with a knife. If you scoop, you'll add too much flour and end up with a rock instead of bread. You can get away with this making bread by hand, but since the machine is "set it and forget it" you'll miss the part where you would notice that the dough needs more water. Its all about flour / fluid balance. On the upside, the dense bread you ended up with will make awesome bread crumbs! (and bread crumb cookies).
I learned to make bread when I was 18, because I moved out, but I still wanted to eat like I was a kid at my Grandmas house..lol I make bread a lot, and it only takes me a few minutes because it’s easy now, but for years, I really had a battle with yeast breads. Here’s what solved my problem. I bought a digital kitchen scale! I weigh my flour, and I get perfect results every time. I don’t even get out the kitchenaide either. I just use my mixer with the dough hooks, then knead it a couple times and done! I also measure all of my powdered sugar. It makes a huge difference. :) You got some really nice gifts. And those lights for the kids are awesome!! 👍🤩
I would love to see videos about planners. I’m always on the lookout for a great notebook for meeting notes. I have used several different kinds including Erin Condren.
Thank you for showing us your Christmas. Mr. K and I are older, both have COPD and have not visited with family due to the virus. So, we have not been able to see anyone's Christmas. It was nice to see yours.
I love my bread machine and have been using it at least once a week for the last 10 months. I always use it for the dough function, and then shape it into a pan for baking into cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, pizza dough or bread myself.
I have the same bread machine. Love it. I live at a higher altitude and have to add about 2Tbs extra water and take the kneading paddle out when it beeps 3 times. Also if I try to make a 2lb loaf of white bread it is huge.
Love this! Would love to see a planner video and organization videos. And as a work from home mom, I am so excited to see your office organization video!
I have never liked the crust from my breadmaker, but what I do now is use the dough setting (even for fruit breads, cinnamon rolls, and yeast rolls) and let it mix and rise in the breadmaker then move it to a bread pan, let it rise again while my oven pre-heats (let rise about 30 - 45 minutes) and bake it in my oven. much nicer soft crust and it's more shaped like a regular loaf of bread for sandwiches
My husband installed LED lights in my pantry as a surprise gift for me! So when I turn it on, there's extra light in the back corners where I usually can't see well! GMTA!
In the Irish American family I grew up in, a hot pot of strong tea and a plate of tea biscuits was part of every afternoon with my nana, aunts and mother.
It was quite the contentious split for Christopher Kimball (co-founder and CEO) and ATK. It’s pretty interesting to see the more adventurous cuisines that he explores with Milk Street compared to ATK or Cooks Country. I love it all!
Thanks for sharing your Christmas gifts, it’s interesting to see what other people get. I’ve had a bread maker for years and I usually use it to make dough and then make it in the oven. I might have to add some of those Cook books to my birthday wish list.
Would love to see a video on setting up a planner. Going to use one for 2021 to try to keep me organized and to do items. Happy New Year to you and your family!
You win! Coolest Mom ever. The lights are really neat. It was really wonderful seeing your gifts. Lots of thought and care and love from the ones giving. :) My son was always very cuddly at Connors age too. He actually still is. He is 19. Still calls me Mommy. You look more relaxed now that the hustle and bustle is over and I love the day after it is as well. That big sigh of we did it. Hugs
Hey Jen, it looks to me that the dough could use just a little bit more water in it, once it starts kneading, feel free to add more - a tablespoon at a time. Another tip, when you put all the ingredients in, keep the inner container out of the machine. That will save you a cleanup in case you spill flour or water into the machine itself. Believe me, been there :( Just put everything in and click the inner pot in the machine with all ingredients already in it! Love your videos. Happy New Year
Yes to planner videos!! Love them! And my son said to tell Conner that he thought the same thing, but that RC stands for remote controlled or radio controlled. Lol 😂 And I’ve had several bread makers mad I could never figure them out.💜 And you can find just about any planner on Etsy in a printable format so you could print and put in a binder. I love my HP planner cause I I remove and add stuff as Frankenplan.
I've heard good things about Rocketbook. It's a notebook that you can wipe clean. nf each page has a bar code for you to scan (grocery list & such to save on your phone).
I've had several bread machines and honestly, they're amazing for making dough (various breads, pizza crust, sweet rolls...) but I don't care for the way they bake. I always just use the dough cycle and final rise and bake them myself. 🤷🏼♀️
I love my Vionic slippers! I’ve had them for a few years. You need to gradually work your way up to wearing them for long periods. I believe Christopher Kimmel separated from America’s Test Kitchen (one of my favorite cooking shows- I have their cookbook...AWESOME!). I bought my daughter a mini fridge that you can set to keep foods warm too-does yours do that? And finally...I’m a planner addict! The most useful planner I’ve ever used was a bullet journal but it was soooo much work to do the months and weekly layouts. But it was the one I used most consistently and found to be most helpful. Happy New Year!!!
Getting shoes with arch support has made my life so much better! I’ve got a few pairs of vionic and love them. Being able to walk at the end of the day. Big fan! Vionic had such cute plaid slippers but always sold out in my size.
I got that fridge awhile back when I started working from home and love it! I got a mini keurig for my home office for Christmas and it is amazing to not have to go to the kitchen for coffee while working-I highly recommend lol!
I don’t understand why people question if your children help. My boys are 18 & 22, both in college. Their only chores have always been taking out the trash, helping set & clean the table, & clean their rooms. Yes, they both work when not in college. You do you.... 🥰 Keychain is so cute !!!
Love the bread machine!! I changed the America's Test Kitchen American Sandwich bread to work for the bread machine and my family loves it!! We have it weekly. You can google their recipe or you can look on NOVA Frugal Family for the Sandwich bread. I highly recommend it! Light and fluffy and lasts a long time. Most people say that wheat bread is heavy and it is better with half white and half wheat flour to make it lighter. If you don't want those clumps, you have to look at the machine to after it is done mixing then push in any extra flour and it will come out with out the burnt chunk on the top or the side of the loaf.
I just ordered a planner from ivory paper co it looks pretty cool and also post it came out with a new line called noted by post it you can order from target
Loved seeing all your gifts. It's very nice you can share your gift list with your hubby. Looked at the slippers for my daughter and the post it notes. Thanks for sharing
Your bag is beautiful! I was looking for one of those fridges for some of my meds and ice packs but didn’t find one so had to buy the larger mini ( squarish one) instead.
Jen Chapin!! I have no reason to tell non truths!! You have the BEST VIDEOS AND CONTENT EVER!!! You are #1 that I watch. Can’t wait for the new year HALLELUJAH!! Love you all and HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎈
Jen, I never had any luck with my breadmaker, I hope your bread journey ends better than mine. I bought myself those same slippers for Christmas, I am still waiting for them I hope they are good ones as I struggle with foot problem as well. Happy New Year.
I love my bread maker! I always cook my on light setting because, unless it’s French bread, I like my crust softer! Congrats on your maiden voyage of bread! 😉
Hi Jen! I make a lot of bread in the bread machine. Since moving to Breckenridge and trying to make it in the bread maker at 10,700 feet I have had no luck. But. I still use my bread machine to make the dough. Does yours have a dough setting? If so use that. Then let it rise in the pan in a warm place and bake it in the oven. Turns out perfect every time, even at altitude!
Hey Jen! I'm not sure if somewhere in the comments someone has already mentioned this but I think you can remove the bread maker paddle after it's done kneading the dough before it starts baking to avoid the hole at the bottom of the loaf. I don't have a breadmaker but Sophia from My Great Challenge did that and her bread maker looks the same make as yours😉
Looks like Adam was very good to you this Christmas and everything is beautiful! Red is my favorite color so I actually squealed when I saw the bag. LOL.
Jen, I have the same bread maker and have had zero success with it... I love Cuissinart as a brand but not a fan of their bread maker. I hope you have better success and will do a review. I would say one thing I noticed is using the dry milk makes it very dense.
We love making bread with the bread machine it’s so easy! As you were talking about your little cooler I was thinking in my head she needs a Keurig for her office LOL! Great video and love all the goodies that you got for Christmas.
Your bread machine should beep at some point indicating when you can take out the paddle so you’re not left with the hole. I loved Cloth and Paper inserts this year but moving into a Hobonichi Cousin for 2021. Happy New Year!
1. I just love you, Jen. You’re a relatable woman. 2. I use my bread machine often: I always select “light”, don’t be afraid to open the lid and scrape down or adjust the flour/water while it’s kneading, try pizza dough; you’ll love it.
Check your mini fridge and see if you can plug it in inside your car when traveling for beverages or lunch. I think Connor’s RC car is “Remote Control.” . . . Just based on previous shopping experience.
I have had my bread makeup for about 15 years and I love it it really came in handy during a snowstorm when no one could get out I made about 10 loaves of bread and gave them to the neighbors my favorite bread to make is a cinnamon swirl bread with raisins also I had a recipe for bread with Italian seasonings in it which came out very well. I also had a recipe for pizza my boys love that one and I used to give them the Joe and let them go to town to make their own pies. The more you use it the more you learn to love it I did have some problems with wheat bread but I'm a rye bread which came out very well
Question, looking to try the moon balance- Are the containers half full when you receive like you showed here in your vid? Or is that what you've used?
I LOVE "what I got" videos; what better way to get ideas. Your red bag is gorgeous; it's such a perfect shade of red. And that little fridge! I need that, because heaven forbid I would walk to the big fridge.🤣🤣 I'd like to see some organization/planning from you. I got burned out on watching people who continually do their planners and call it content but, basically, if you publish it I'll watch it.👍
conner is the sweetest! he is so pure
I love watching your videos. You always inspire me to clean and to make small goals for myself when feeling overwhelmed. My son will be 3 the end of February, my daughter just turned 1 middle of November and I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant so my energy levels are close to nothing. I watch yours and Tiffani Beaston’s vlogs and it just helps me get the ball rolling. I struggle with depression and anxiety so it’s nice to see you being real on your videos. You stay true to who you are and that’s very rare to find here on UA-cam. You don’t put a load of makeup on or make sure your dressed prim and propper or make sure your hair is curled or your kitchen is cleaned up before vlogging. You show your real day to day life and it makes me feel like it’s okay to not be perfect. Love you Jen!

Awww, Connor is such a sweet young man. My son is 18 now, and still gives me random hugs. I cherrish them, and I know you do too. Happy New Year! 😀🎉
I love watching your videos for motivation because you are so real...nothing fake or exaggerated for views! Thanks for keeping it real Jen!
I like seeing what other people are getting for Christmas. Hubby & I adulted and bought new flooring for two rooms, two hallways, and two sets of stairs. Whoo hoo.

Most people say that wheat bread is heavy and it is better with half white and half wheat flour to make it lighter. If you don't want those clumps, you have to look at the machine to after it is done mixing then push in any extra flour and it will come out with out the burnt chunk on the top or the side of the loaf.
I’ve said this before but I love Conner. Such a sweet kid! Makes me smile
That red leather bag is giving me life...the color is so vivid and bold! ❤❤❤
Love vionics👍🏻 They last forever
I just ordered a planner from ivory paper co it looks pretty cool and also post it came out with a new line called noted by post it you can order from target
Loved seeing all your gifts. It's very nice you can share your gift list with your hubby.
Looked at the slippers for my daughter and the post it notes. Thanks for sharing
I just love your channel so much! 💖 thank you for the content & just being you!
I would like to order some Vionic slippers. I have their flip flops and love them. Do you mind sharing where you (Adam) bought your slippers? Thanks!
Your bag is beautiful! I was looking for one of those fridges for some of my meds and ice packs but didn’t find one so had to buy the larger mini ( squarish one) instead.
Jen Chapin!! I have no reason to tell non truths!! You have the BEST VIDEOS AND CONTENT EVER!!! You are #1 that I watch. Can’t wait for the new year HALLELUJAH!! Love you all and HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎈
Jen, I never had any luck with my breadmaker, I hope your bread journey ends better than mine. I bought myself those same slippers for Christmas, I am still waiting for them I hope they are good ones as I struggle with foot problem as well. Happy New Year.
I saw another UA-camr take the paddle out the bread maker while it was stopped to allow dough to rise, I never thought of doing this until now
I love my bread maker! I always cook my on light setting because, unless it’s French bread, I like my crust softer! Congrats on your maiden voyage of bread! 😉
Hi Jen! I make a lot of bread in the bread machine. Since moving to Breckenridge and trying to make it in the bread maker at 10,700 feet I have had no luck. But. I still use my bread machine to make the dough. Does yours have a dough setting? If so use that. Then let it rise in the pan in a warm place and bake it in the oven. Turns out perfect every time, even at altitude!
Hey Jen! I'm not sure if somewhere in the comments someone has already mentioned this but I think you can remove the bread maker paddle after it's done kneading the dough before it starts baking to avoid the hole at the bottom of the loaf. I don't have a breadmaker but Sophia from My Great Challenge did that and her bread maker looks the same make as yours😉
When yer bread comes out run some butter over the top of it ... I personally like making bread in pans in the oven xxx
Yes, this makes it even more delicious too!
Agreed. I have the machine make the dough and bake in the oven in traditional pans. ❤👍
Love Connor. That’s all. He seems like such a great kid. Loves his mama❤️
Looks like Adam was very good to you this Christmas and everything is beautiful! Red is my favorite color so I actually squealed when I saw the bag. LOL.
Jen, I have the same bread maker and have had zero success with it... I love Cuissinart as a brand but not a fan of their bread maker. I hope you have better success and will do a review. I would say one thing I noticed is using the dry milk makes it very dense.
Yes please do a review video on the bread maker!
I got a hot milk frother for Christmas and it has changed my life. I highly recommend it! I got the miroco brand with the handle. I love it.
I received the same frother last year for Christmas. Agreed- life changer!😍
I have the same bread maker and I always use the lightest crust setting and sometimes even that is a little too hard for my taste.
We love making bread with the bread machine it’s so easy! As you were talking about your little cooler I was thinking in my head she needs a Keurig for her office LOL! Great video and love all the goodies that you got for Christmas.
Your bread machine should beep at some point indicating when you can take out the paddle so you’re not left with the hole. I loved Cloth and Paper inserts this year but moving into a Hobonichi Cousin for 2021. Happy New Year!
1. I just love you, Jen. You’re a relatable woman.
2. I use my bread machine often: I always select “light”, don’t be afraid to open the lid and scrape down or adjust the flour/water while it’s kneading, try pizza dough; you’ll love it.
Aww Conner!! Hello! That mini fridge looks adorable and very useful!
Check your mini fridge and see if you can plug it in inside your car when traveling for beverages or lunch.
I think Connor’s RC car is “Remote Control.” . . . Just based on previous shopping experience.
Yes, organized stuff sounds great! I’m addicted to your channel!
Doesn't that scratch your oven when you use the scrapper??
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Love the fridge would be great for my insulin and apple juice, in my bedroom.
"Will continue to monitor" - every nurse ever! LOL
Yep!
I was wondering who would get that 😂
I related it to the military, but nursing 100% makes more sense 😂 duh. It's been a long day 😂
Haha so true!
Yep!! From a fellow nurse!😂😂
I have had my bread makeup for about 15 years and I love it it really came in handy during a snowstorm when no one could get out I made about 10 loaves of bread and gave them to the neighbors my favorite bread to make is a cinnamon swirl bread with raisins also I had a recipe for bread with Italian seasonings in it which came out very well.
I also had a recipe for pizza my boys love that one and I used to give them the Joe and let them go to town to make their own pies.
The more you use it the more you learn to love it I did have some problems with wheat bread but I'm a rye bread which came out very well
Question, looking to try the moon balance- Are the containers half full when you receive like you showed here in your vid? Or is that what you've used?
I’ve used them, but you only need 1 tsp powder for each smoothie :)
@@Jen-Chapin Good to know! Thanks- Ordering for the new year!
I never bake in my bread maker .. I make the dough in it then put the dough in a loaf pan and bake it in the oven.
I LOVE "what I got" videos; what better way to get ideas. Your red bag is gorgeous; it's such a perfect shade of red. And that little fridge! I need that, because heaven forbid I would walk to the big fridge.🤣🤣 I'd like to see some organization/planning from you. I got burned out on watching people who continually do their planners and call it content but, basically, if you publish it I'll watch it.👍
Best pizza dough recipe makes 2 large pizzas
1 tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups Plain flour
200ml Warm water
2 tsp yeast
Love that bread maker! We make sandwich bread at least once per week! Also adding that medical history book to my list!
Where is that awesome b/w LARGE wall calendar from?
I’d love a review on the bread machine once you’ve tested it out.
