I just wanted to comment to tell you that you are a wonderful wife and your husband is so very blessed to have you. I usually send my husband to work with a sandwich and some chips, your videos are making me want to step it up because I know he would be so happy! Thank you for these inspirational videos! No doubt you're helping a lot of families and bringing a little more joy into everyone else's lives. God bless!
Same!! I’m a visual learner (& motivated by seeing the “product” 😆) so your videos are the only time I can successfully meal plan. They are so informative & hold my attention (zero fluff). Thank you so much. I hope you continue doing these & feel encouraged/appreciated. I’m sure it’s not easy fitting these in on top of life sometimes. ❤
I love the balance of these meals. You show your family so much love with these and I know your hubs must appreciate these creative and homey meals while he's out of the road. Thanks for the inspo!
I love these videos. That 1st Bento box was the bomb. I usually make my boyfriend fresh muffins, cookies, and brownies. I keep everything from hotrods, cheese, crackers, chips, i change up 2 different fruits every week. This way he has a variety for his lunches. He takes different sandwhiches every week, sometimes homemade burgers. I love your variety. I have to get back into meal prepping for myself to. 😊 It's combining season, so i ran him out some homemade pizza. He likes to snack on different things. Once the season is done, he likes soups, and stews he can heat up. Great video.He has a hot lunch box also. They are the best to invest in.
I was so excited to see this new lunch ideas video pop up! BBQ chips with a good sandwich - it's a combo that's hard to beat, especially in the summer! 😁😁
I always enjoy your lunchbox videos! You prepare it all with such care and variety. Especially as a trucker, this is so nice for your husband. Keeps a little bit of "home" with him. Thanks for sharing all your good ideas. 🤗
I know I've said this a few times. Please tell Josh thank you for all he is doing out there. This heat is no joke. My hubby was a truck driver for many years till he had to forcefully retire. It's a very hard and exhausting job. PS, I'll be making a few of these for lunch or dinner. We prefer meals like this during the Summer.
@KristinStepp you're welcome, sweet friend. Our pleasure. He loved his job and misses it terribly. I bet. I had a heat stroke at the age of the 17 and you don't realize how deadly being outside in the heat can be.
Cold pasta salads are great! Especially if it's hot outside, love cold pasta salad which I am making today. Love the video, I'm looking for new ideas for lunch.
Ham Salad is one of my most favorite of all the salads. My Mom used to make it as well. You are a wonderful wife, not many still making lunches for their hubbies. I still do as well. ❤️
I absolutely love your recipes. I am a Southern girl myself (NC). I love that your Southern country cooking fits right into what my family likes. I wish you would do a series of what YOU eat in a day. I am trying to stick to Weight Watchers but I can easily convert your recipes to my plan.
These videos always give me great ideas on what to pack in my man’s lunch! Making his lunch makes me happy and he always tells me how much he appreciates it☺️
Variety suggestion for the fruit and yogurt: we love to do the Greek yogurt like you have with fruit on top, honey drizzle, and granola - YUM. I also make a hemp seed/chia seed/flaxseed mixture and sprinkle a little of that on top as well. Good for protein and fiber 😊
I bought some magnetic metal nesting measuring spoons on Amazon that are round on one end and skinny on the other works great going into the spice containers
I love ham salad, haven't had it in ages! My mom used to buy it at the deli and it didn't last long in our house. You make great lunches and always give me good ideas, thanks!
The ham salad sandwich’s looked amazing!!!!!!! My momma still makes the ham salad that she use to make when I was in school!!!! My Daddy loves it!!!! Your husband’s lunch’s look Amazing!!!!
A little bit of pure honey on the yogurt with some granola would top it off….that with a variety of fruit would top it off (my breakfast often lol) also try sprinkling EBTB seasoning on ham salad, egg salad, chicken salad etc….that ham salad looked good but I would have a least needed some black pepper….salad supreme seasoning sprinkled on pasta salad takes it to a whole other level
Thanks for sharing your ideas! My husband is a railroader, so he takes overnight trips on the train and I have to pack tons of food for him and it's easy to get in a rut as far as what I send with him. He only has access to a microwave in the hotel, so he needs cold foods on the train and he gets so sick of sandwiches!
melt the cheese a little when you do the roll ups! i do it for like 10-15 seconds and it hardens back up when it’s refrigerated! makes it easy to do a smooth even layer
Really like the video. I would suggest looking for old-fashioned metal measuring spoons. The metal measuring spoons tend to be shallower compared to the plastic ones.😊
Thanks for the inspiration! I was thinking Josh might like some "cowboy caviar" on the super hot days? You can get protein from the beans, and you could put in some "scoops" tortilla chips. I love it in the summer. Not sure if your kids would like it?? You can customize the spiciness of it.
Wow. I am stealing that salami roll idea. For kids, for me, for the universe it seems like a great and fun idea. Maybe with some turkey ham, cream cheese and lettuce. :)
Each Amazon for “magnetic measuring spoons”. They are double sided, one round and the other skinny and long. And they snap together so you don’t lose them.
We get our Boursin at Costco. They have it in a 3 pack for a really good price. Also we love salami rollups but we add either pickle or pepperoncinis to it and it’s fantastic!!
Ham and cheese sandwich: My idea: A slice of ham and a slice of cheese. Reality: A whole package of ham and a slice of cheese! 😂 I grew up with one slice of cold cuts on sandwiches and two slices or a slice + a slice of cheese was already generous!
My mamaw always made ham salad with spam and kraft cheese slices. She put those through her food processor then added miracle whip and onion. So good. I crave it!
Great idea for the chicken. I wanna know if it tastes different frozen. I feel like it will have a slight effect being frozen, but for something like quesadillas, I don't think it will be a big taste factor. 🤔
I learned a hack on applying cream cheese on meat like that. Roll a dollop of cream cheese in between 2 sheets of clingfilm. Peel one side off, flip it onto the meat blanket and peel the other sheet off. No mess and even!
Great video!! Always love getting new ideas from you. Please let us know if you do find a dye free drink mix alternative!! I am also trying to avoid dyes for my kids and its so hard. I also always had a pitcher of something in the fridge during summer as a kid so I'm looking for something my kids could have.😊
Thank you!! When the kids are in school I do the dole packets for their water bottles but I’d like to find some packets in the pitcher size, I’m not sure if that’s a thing.
If you have an Aldi's near you. Check out their flavored water enhancers. Aldi brand has no added flavors, dyes or junk in it. It's a very clean ingredients.
Hi! Here are some fantastic lunch ideas! Quick question: for the salami roll ups, what do you suggest instead of Boursin? I don’t like garlic. 😒 Thanks for always creating such great and practical videos. 😊
We can see much love here, your husband sure feels so loved and u really enjoy a lot to prepare his lunchboxes. No doubt about that. But those lunchboxes are everything but healthy. They are all about fats and carbs and sugar, for sure plenty of tastes but definitely not healthy.
Someone may have mentioned it but there's copycat boursin recipes online that turn out cheaper than buying boursin since it makes more - I use pressureluck's recipes but there a lot out there. 🧀
He definitely feels loved, trust me. A lot of men don’t go to work with a lunch like that. My hubby always tells me how grateful he is.👏🏽👏🏽
❤️❤️❤️
So true!! My husband’s coworkers are always jealous of the food I make him 😅
Ham salad looks great. I would trim the fat off first
It is a blessing 😊❤
I’m in awe of how you put lunches and dinners together! I get so blank when I try to meal plan, your videos definitely help me. Thanks! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’m so happy they’re helpful!! ❤
Your husband is really lucky. You put so much attention to what you fix for him. You go girl!
I just wanted to comment to tell you that you are a wonderful wife and your husband is so very blessed to have you.

You're one of like 3 people who always make me super excited when I see a new video posted
Aw that makes me happy! 🥹❤️
Same here! ❤
Yes! Same❤

I love watching your ideas for your husband. I know my husband loves it when he doesnt have to think about lunches when he is working in the summers.

I sure will, thank you! & to your husband! This heat is terrible and he stays exhausted.

I miss packing lunches for my husband. He passed away a few years ago. My new boyfriend works from home and only eats beef, salt and water. 😢
for real?
I love ham salad, haven't had it in ages! My mom used to buy it at the deli and it didn't last long in our house. You make great lunches and always give me good ideas, thanks!
The ham salad sandwich’s looked amazing!!!!!!! My momma still makes the ham salad that she use to make when I was in school!!!! My Daddy loves it!!!! Your husband’s lunch’s look Amazing!!!!
Thank you!! ❤️
Great ideas this week! So thoughtful! ❤
Thank you! 💕
Lunches fit for a king 👑
I put my ham thru a meat grinder for hamsalad, i chop onions, pickles, olives, red bell peppers and a touch of brown sugar.
I have the same glass containers when i pack hot foods, makes me feel better knowing it's safer than heating up food in plastic containers.
Yes I use the rectangular stainless steel measuring spoon set from amazon they fit right in to spice bottles
Dole has clear drink mixes and they are really good! They don’t have the large size but you could put a few in your pitcher.
I have bought those for the kids water bottles! I could just make a big batch up for the pitcher I didn’t really think of that.
Always great ideas! Love the idea of the wraps using sour cream and that salsa verde!
Thank you!!
A little bit of pure honey on the yogurt with some granola would top it off….that with a variety of fruit would top it off (my breakfast often lol) also try sprinkling EBTB seasoning on ham salad, egg salad, chicken salad etc….that ham salad looked good but I would have a least needed some black pepper….salad supreme seasoning sprinkled on pasta salad takes it to a whole other level
Love these videos! Can’t wait to see the back to school lunch videos ❤
Thank you! I can’t wait to start making them again. 🥰
That snack box lunch looked great!
These videos make me happy. There definitely needs to be more of them🥳🥳🥳
I’m so glad! I agree, I want to make them more often.
@@KristinStepp ❤️❤️❤️
Wow that is a deluxe bento box.
Thanks for sharing this little snippet of your life with us. Food is such a love language ❤ loved the snackle-box at the start 😂
I love watching these! You do a great job.
Thank you so much!
You Always have the Yummiest ideas Kristen!!😋😋
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing your ideas! My husband is a railroader, so he takes overnight trips on the train and I have to pack tons of food for him and it's easy to get in a rut as far as what I send with him. He only has access to a microwave in the hotel, so he needs cold foods on the train and he gets so sick of sandwiches!
My hubby is a railroader too! Luckily he’s on a regular job though
I want some of that homemade bean dip. Yummm
Yes! Can't have a sandwich without chips!! Sometimes even in the sandwich too 😄
Yess haha!
Crunchy sandwich. The best
That's how I do it lol!
These are fantastic! Thank you Kristin!!!
Thank you!!
Very gr8 meal preps, keep em coming!!!👍👍👍
@ 9:30 Go Grippos🎉🎉🎉
❤wow! Love how much care you put into these lunch boxes. Thanks for sharing your finds and ideas. ❤
melt the cheese a little when you do the roll ups! i do it for like 10-15 seconds and it hardens back up when it’s refrigerated! makes it easy to do a smooth even layer
do you have a link for the heated lunch box?
I’ve been watching you for what feels like years, love your videos ❤
Thank you so much! & for sticking around! 💕
Good ideas for lunch boxes. Awesome
Hey add Dukes Mayo, then cut up fine bell pepper and onions, instead of relish. This taste like the ham sandwich at Duke sandwich in Greenville SC
Really like the video. I would suggest looking for old-fashioned metal measuring spoons. The metal measuring spoons tend to be shallower compared to the plastic ones.😊
I love love love that bento box❤❤

Wow. I am stealing that salami roll idea. For kids, for me, for the universe it seems like a great and fun idea. Maybe with some turkey ham, cream cheese and lettuce. :)
My ham salad is cheddar cheese, green olives , and mayo. But I’m gonna try the Swiss cheese!
Delicious lunch boxes! Have you ever thought about adding some vegetables and maybe iced tea for him?
Thank you! He doesn’t like either lol
I have the pampered chef measuring cups and spoons and I love them! The spoons are skinnier than others
Each Amazon for “magnetic measuring spoons”. They are double sided, one round and the other skinny and long. And they snap together so you don’t lose them.
I love grating some onion into my sausage balls and, instead of the milk, add a big spoonful of softened cream cheese and combine as usual. Amazing!
We get our Boursin at Costco. They have it in a 3 pack for a really good price. Also we love salami rollups but we add either pickle or pepperoncinis to it and it’s fantastic!!
Every single item looks delicious. Thank y8ou so much for posting, I always look forward to your videos.
Ham and cheese sandwich: My idea: A slice of ham and a slice of cheese. Reality: A whole package of ham and a slice of cheese! 😂 I grew up with one slice of cold cuts on sandwiches and two slices or a slice + a slice of cheese was already generous!
Good job. You always have great ideas.
Thank you!!
Wow. ❤❤. You are amazing at lunch ideas xx
Aw thank you!!
Wow, I thought I was the only one still making minced ham! I'll have to try it with Swiss cheese next time.
I love your videos! This kind is my favorite. I get so many good ideas!!
My mamaw always made ham salad with spam and kraft cheese slices. She put those through her food processor then added miracle whip and onion. So good. I crave it!
What do you do when you have a picky eater for lunches? because my husband is a very picky eater when it comes to any kind of foods.
If you have a Costco membership, they have a 3 pack of Boursin that goes on sale regularly. I buy several and freeze them until we need them!
I love ham salad too like you said it's a light lunch idea and you can try Cresent rolls for the bread choice and it's so yummy ❤❤❤
Great idea for the chicken. I wanna know if it tastes different frozen. I feel like it will have a slight effect being frozen, but for something like quesadillas, I don't think it will be a big taste factor. 🤔
This is the new asmr!
I learned a hack on applying cream cheese on meat like that. Roll a dollop of cream cheese in between 2 sheets of clingfilm. Peel one side off, flip it onto the meat blanket and peel the other sheet off. No mess and even!
That’s a great idea!!
I noticed you add a lot of fruit to Josh's lunch. Have you thought about freezing it?! It's a nice refreshing treat.
I haven’t but that’s a great idea!!
I love frozen grapes. Plus they act as an "ice pack" until they thaw.
@@ksacosta69 frozen fruit is so delicious.
I just love all of your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
You are such an amazing and loving wife❤gave me great ideas for my husband's lunchbox
Aw thank you!! 💕
Great video!! Always love getting new ideas from you. Please let us know if you do find a dye free drink mix alternative!! I am also trying to avoid dyes for my kids and its so hard.

When you see a video titled Wife Surprised By Her Dream Car At Christmas, this is why.😊😊😊
Girl I absolutely love all your videos and I have made many of your recipes! So many yummy and simple recipes. Love from Texas😋
Thank you so much!! ❤️
What an awesome variety of creative foods!
deviled ham and cream cheese sandwiches are good
How did you shred the chicken? That's the perfect consistency for me and I cannot ever get it right!
Wow…..why do I like this video sooo much….first time viewing and kudos!!!!!
Boursin cheese is just butter, cream cheese, garlic, and your favorite herbs.
I made nachos/ tacos for dinner. Had no sour cream because I forgot I cleaned the fridge so I used cream cheese. Worked just as good! Great video ❤
You always have the best lunch videos!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Love your video.Can you send a link to the Walmart cooler? Food always look great in your kitchen.😊
I would pay to have you make my lunches! These look so yummy 😊
I love the tortilla land brand ! Its the only tortilla's I buy now !
Great ideas!!! Thank you.
U are a amazing mother and wife love your videos
Thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you!! Cream cheese is good!
Aldi makes their own version of the garlic herb spreadable cheese which is cheaper
When you were making the salami roll ups it was like you were making sushi. 😆❤
Your videos always make me happy. 🥰
It’s like a adult Lunchable!
We can see much love here, your husband sure feels so loved and u really enjoy a lot to prepare his lunchboxes. No doubt about that. But those lunchboxes are everything but healthy. They are all about fats and carbs and sugar, for sure plenty of tastes but definitely not healthy.
