Hi Guys Welcome to my channel!! I am happily married with 3 kids! 2 girls and 1 boy! Seems like as my kids are getting older life gets a little more hectic around here. From trying to keep to my daily schedule, planning the kids extracurricular activities, chores, errands...OH MY.. and having dinner ready on the table!
I am a stay at home mom who loves planning videos, grocery shopping, meal planning and shopping..basically anything that will help my daily life a breeze! Although, my videos will not always be the same or on schedule, it shows how my life can be crazy busy! From time to time I will throw in a fun vlog, and some Day in the Life videos!
Also, as a stay at home mom I believe that no matter how busy life gets we should always makes time for the simple pleasures! :)

HEB ... usually means your in texas.... awesome ❤❤❤my home state

[@frijolsmom]

Love HEB!!! wish they would come to Florida because they sell many items thst no one sells like frozen rajas that have been pre- roasted, peeled, de-veined, and de-seeded and just ready to be used in a recipe.

[@aprilbrown9394]

I was saying the same thing! I'm from TX and miss home so much.

[@rocksand911]

HEB is the best!

I love food that people put time in, I genuinely feel relaxed when I'm cooking and I dont mind doing things by hand, it just adds extra love to it💓 dishes are only tedious if you dont enjoy cooking

[@thejaylilife]

Love this!! ❤️

[@tahneegonzalez7975]

San Antonio is cold tonight so I hopped onto KZbin to find a good caldo recipe video. I’ll be following this recipe for sure and the HEB products make me feel oddly connected lol thanks for posting this!!

[@MOMSSPAGHETTI44]

My mother didn't teach me to cook so I Google and KZbin alot of recipes. My mother inlaw taught me to cook certain things and as I learn more I tweak a few of her recipes. But this is by far the best comfort food/recipe I have ever learned. Thank you so much. It's tasty!!!

[@inezstreet476]

Just made this and it’s so good! I replaced regular salt for seasoned salt and added cayenne pepper, creole seasoning, and chicken bouillon.

[@thejaylilife]

🤔 i must try it it that one! Thank you!

[@erickar2634]

I just bought all the ingredients yesterday I been getting cravings like crazy. Hopefully I can make this caldo de pollo good and not mess it up .

[@krysmariehudson9953]

It never fails, every time I make caldo I always have to switch it to a bigger pot....lol I think I'm adding to many veggies, but they are so good.....also to the meat always finishes before the veggies......but it's still good, especially when there are bits of meat in the caldo.

[@irenefernandez5473]

Thank you for all your delicious recipes have tried a few and they are now some of my families favorites 👍🏼😁😁

[@ivettegalicia4093]

Who else is sick or got someone sick and your here too see what your missing for your caldo de pollo lol

[@WuBloodKin09]

I made your recipe, and it’s the bomb...there’s no place like home!

[@thejaylilife]

☺️🤗 Thank you so glad you enjoyed it! 😍

[@zianavelazquez6119]

That looks sooooo good!!!!

[@LuisLopez-vj9mc]

I would just start with the potato and end with the calabasitas

[@thejaylilife]

I don’t add the potatoes first, they absorb so much water, and will get mushy and fall apart. Like I mentioned in the video. They will still continue to cook after. ☺️

[@jennifermartin40]

A fellow texan! This looks amazing On my way to heb to get a few thing to make this ❤

[@TheArnold5000]

I love this soup me and my wife made it together I added jalapenos wwwwwwoooooooooohhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!my white girl can make this now Thank you!!!

[@AA-hw2en]

Yoooooooooooo this was bomb, I did use my own seasoning, but all the veggies and chicken you had and it was BOMB!!!!! I also had to use diced tomatoes because I didn’t have tomatoe sauce/paste
