Kristen coming in for the win on down to earth and delicious meals! Love it girl

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! 🥰❤️

[@glitterbuginc.2710]

I love your videos! Some of my favorites to watch 😊 Super love your Kids Lunch videos! I really like how you show what they ate. Feel better soon and keep being an awesome inspiration!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!! I have been working on one and my goal is to get it out before the end of February. 🥰

[@aecarius]

I really appreciate these videos, Kristin! I’m having a baby in about 2 months or less so these are definitely going on the list for easy meals!

[@KristinStepp]

Aww congratulations!!! ❤️

[@realisticlunchbox]

I am so here for these! After a long day at work and kids sports practice, I love coming home to a crockpot meal.

[@KristinStepp]

Me too! I never realized how exhausting sports were on a parent until I had to do it lol.

[@beckystokes9061]

Hope you feel better soon, thanks for the good ideas!

[@KristinStepp]

Thanks so much!

[@lesliespeers2739]

So sorry you're sick, hope you're feeling better soon. I love my crock pot and almost always use the high setting. I've saved these recipes for later. TFS Hugs from California * L

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@midori_moon]

Thank you for also describing how you prepared the side dishes, such as the steamed broccoli. It’s very helpful for those of us who didn’t grow up eating American homestyle food 💞

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

We love crockpot meals. I'll have to add these to our crockpot list.

[@MJM8715]

The Buffalo Chicken and the HB Casserole looks delish! Will be trying!!

[@dedao8975]

You are so right about the older Crockpots. I have a small one that I've had for about 20 yrs. That little sucker gets SO hot, lol! They just don't make'em like they used to!

[@carmarasmussen8118]

Making your pasta fagioli soup right now! It's a cold, snowy day here in Utah so this will be the perfect thing to warm us up. 😊

[@KristinStepp]

I hope you enjoyed! 🥰

[@shelbylynnwilliams8520]

Oh yeah for crockpot recipes! Thank you! I have made similar versions of all of these but your recipes are much easier.

[@nesstheshogun1839]

I just found your channel tonight and I will be making your recipes next week. So awesome!

[@KristinStepp]

Yay I hope you love them!! ❤️

[@angelahenning3467]

Girl I just love your videos. They're my favorite cooking videos. You're so warm and it feels like I'm listening to a friend. :)

The hashbrown casserole with sausage looks so good!

[@maryalice8229]

Thanks! I like them all.

[@myalight368]

I really enjoy listening to you and watching your videos! Thanks for putting this one out despite not feeling your best. Hope you feel better soon.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@bonniepwtf]

Listening to you was not a problem at all, I just feel bad that you aren't feeling well. I love using my Crock Pot, I made my dog's food in it this morning (washed it, lol) & having zucchini, meatballs & sauce cooking away in it now. Mine cooks hot like yours does too. Thanks for the great recipes! 🙏 Feel better soon.💟

[@KristinStepp]

I appreciate you saying that 🥰 thank you so much. Sounds like your dog is getting the royal treatment getting homemade crockpot dog food haha I love that!

I love your videos! It's just meals that I can actually make with your REAL opinion on them. You are so genuine. I have made quite a few meals from your videos, really enjoying all of them!! Also, it just helps me with dinner inspiration as far as sides and all go, as well. Thanks 😘

[@noblefish29]

Thank you so much for posting! My husband and I love watching your videos. We even meal prep some of the recipes and everyone is ALWAYS jealous at work. Feel better soon ❤️

[@KristinStepp]

That’s awesome! & thank you so much! ❤❤

[@maggie2936-q1m]

These look good! Especially that buffalo chicken. Love all the ideas for it. I don’t understand people who think the crock pot is only for certain times, food, and seasons. I think it’s great you are using esp for a shorter time. I think it saves time and energy. You’re not heating up the house with the oven, and oven meals usually require watching, whereas crockpots are dump and go do something else! ❤😊👍

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you! & yes I absolutely love my crockpot year round. 🥰

[@debbielee7117]

Everything looks yummy, Kristen!

[@KristinStepp]

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Kristen. Love all these recipes. I cook with onion but do not cook with carrots or celery (I know). I like them raw but never cooked. So you can imagine my soups are not very high in veggies except potatoes and maybe green beans. Have a blessed day and hope you feel better.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!! & that’s okay if it’s not loaded with veggies, whatever works for you 🥰❤️

Moving next week gave me so much new ideas that I can put on at the new house and forget while we're moving and won't have to eat out. Even the hubby is excited for the chicken thighs. Thank you 😊

[@KristinStepp]

Congratulations on the new place!! 🎉❤

[@tayelmore]

Great looking recipes! The way you did the buffalo chicken is how I do it. I have never done sandwiches with it, but they look good! I usually do quesadilla, pizza, or mac and cheese with the buffalo chicken.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank ya! Oooo I love the pizza & mac and cheese idea 😍😍

[@carolenedaniel3729]

All of these recipes look so delicious. I definitely will try the Asian inspired dish. Thank you for your commitment and dedication to bringing us fantastic recipes in spite of not feeling well. I always look forward to what you bring to us. Thanks again

Sending well wishes, my kids have been sick the past week and a half with this stuff going around too. We have an older crock pot too (from the 90s but she works like a champ). If it isnt broke don't fix it, right? I plan to try this pasta e fagioli soup this week with ground sausage and parmesan cheese !

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! I hope your kids are feeling much better now. I agree on the crockpot, I hope y’all enjoy the soup! ❤

When I was a kid, we got Hunts spaghetti sauce because it was cheap. As an adult, I can afford other sauces--but I still go back to Hunts. Whether or not it's nostalgia I can't say, but I love the flavor.😄

My favorite soup at Olive Garden.

[@HaleyG3]

Ain’t nothing wrong with using that high setting on the crockpot. God put it on there for a reason 😂. These all look so good! Also great advise for learning your crockpot. The ones I’ve used are very different and it’s definitely a learning process.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@Aimee_Smith]

Kristen I always love your videos. I seem to find at least one meal idea for my next meal plan. I have the Pioneer Woman little 3 drawer in my kitchen but I can’t ever figure out what to put in it. May I ask what you keep in yours?

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! I keep stevia packets for my coffee in 2 of the drawers, and then in the 3rd I do leftover packets of sauce or salt & pepper from restaurants.

Low setting is best for these types of meals.

[@sonyahubbard3226]

I love soup! And it’s the easiest way to get us to eat veggies. If you’ve owned a crockpot for a while it’s good to periodically check for *recalls* . A few years back, the lid to mine broke. Went online to order another and found out it had been recalled.. oopsie.

[@KristinStepp]

I will look into it, that’s never crossed my mine but it’s definitely cooking hotter and hotter over time.
