Weekly Meal Prep! Freezer Lasagna, Egg Salad, Chicken Salad, Egg Bites, and Crepes

[@luciaf5626]

You are so thoughtful and sweet for making a meal for your inlaws after the surgery

[@abbyh6075]

omg Jen! Don't put grease down your drain!!!! Hot water with it doesn't do anything.........when it solidifies it will block your pipes and can back everything up. Just put it in a container until it solidifies and then throw it away......learn from my mistakes lol

[@aracelygutierrez4895]

Very nice of you to do that for your in laws. You inspire me, never stop doing these videos!

[@Akamyborba]

Okay honestly, this girl knows what she’s doing with all this food and prep! It’s hard work, especially after working a full day of work AND children’s after school activities. I’m not a mom but I grew up with a badass mom like her and it has made me such an incredible person because of it. Jen, I love watching your videos. I found your channel a few months ago and have been watching you faithfully ever since. First I just want to say you are a badasssssss lol seriously. Just the way you work in the kitchen and all your good little ideas you have is insane! You seem like such a wonderful mother, wife and person in general. I love watching your channel because you are so real (and your tips are amazing! I’m all about the prep life and I’m constantly writing down and noting tips you have) even when you made that video addressing your views on organic food, you’re so respectful and honest. I appreciate that so much. You seem like a cool person and anyone in your life is lucky to have you. Keep inspiring all of us with these amazing videos and your dedicated lifestyle. I definitely look up to you!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you so much Amy!! I appreciate your kind words ❤️

[@abbygailcx21]

I love that you use the get to work book. Its my favorite planner. Also love the very real attitude you have towards meal prep and nutrition.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you!

[@louisedillon2413]

That is so wonderful that you made lasagna for your in laws. How sweet.

[@purple4d]

Hi Jennifer, I just found your channel and wow I am so impressed with my meal prep. Your family is so fortunate to have you as their wife and mum and wonderful cook. You have given me some great ideas thank you.

[@desereedorrance9715]

Egg bites look perfect. I make a copy cat of these but I have a small bread loaf pan I halfway fill with water and just put on the rack below to create a moist environment. NOT a water bath just a small pan of water hanging out with the muffin tin. They turned out so much better than without the pan. Give it a try. I learned it from FLAV CITY

[@tanyademillo8695]

I could watch your meal preps all day!

[@kimjanelle1007]

So excited to see this video pop up. You are meal prep GOALS! You and Shelly from Shelly’s Home Life are my absolute favorites! Hugs, Kim

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you kim!!

[@Hotinthecity195]

Enjoyed the video Jen’s..everything looked great..thanks for sharing..😊

[@xiomaratravelingnurse6514]

I love that you have different ways of making your egg bites especially since I don’t own a instant pot yet. That is in my wish list😊😊😊😊. I will never get tired of watching you make them. Thank You for the variations💕💕💕💕

[@jewelwiggins3538]

Hello...what you did for your in-laws does not surprise me. The way you prep meals for the week for yourself and family, shows a lot of love. I love your videos, great ideas/recipes....ps: the 🐕 on guard cracks me up😂...God bless you & yours

[@lisa2550]

You are giving me SO many good ideas for lunches to take to work. I need something quick and simple since I work in a middle school.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you!

[@sharoncresenzi3016]

Love your prep videos.

[@4MrsChacon]

i really love your channel and all your meal prep ideas. those snack bags and snack boxes are a game changer for busy moms on the go. That will help save so much time and money when we are rushing to after school activities!!!!

[@stephaniethomas256]

I have gotten/used so many health food ideas from you!! Thank you!!

[@barbarajohnson7782]

Jen you can buy the egg bite trays on Amazon. Or they have a large selection of accessory kits for 6 and 8 qt. Instant Pot. I have a kit and I love it. It comes with a steamer basket, an egg bite tray, an egg rack a 7 inch springform pan, a plate gripper, a pair of tongs, and a pair of mits. Great value for under $35.

[@antoninajucovscaia8439]

Your meal prep is awesome!

[@blord9841]

I love watching you prep and cook...it's relaxing

[@leannecoffey6721]

OMG I've never heard of the egg bites that you did in the muffin tins what a cool idea I'm going to have to do that!! Tfs

[@nancyhuffaker3299]

Hi Jen, Love all your videos. You make them interesting and fun, and most of all inspiring. I use a potato masher to break up ground beef. It works better than any other method I have tried. My SIL is a caterer and that is the "weapon" of choice for the pros. Happy Autumn.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Great idea! Thank you for sharing!

[@alitew8913]

Your meal preps are great! Love your channel!!

[@lmcous]

Meal prep time!!! 😄😄😄 Have you tried the Barilla oven ready noodles? They work out really well -- lasagna doesn't turn out dry at all.

[@bnbtemple5936]

Been binge watching since I "found" you on Christine's rec. Can't wait to try your lasagne...among so many other goodies. (And so enjoy your meal prep. We are only the two of us; thinking I want to start prepping as you do even so.) Thank you for putting yourself out there. Barb

[@Tacos907]

I loved this video. So detail and so much patience. Definitely subscribing ❤️

[@Jen-Chapin]

Haha thank you! The edge is my fave!!!! 😜

[@christineberry4410]

When i prep grapes i put 30 grapes in snack size ziplock bags since that is a serving i some times like to get two bags of grapes and freeze one bag worth also portioned out and they are refreshing to eat on a hot day

[@Jen-Chapin]

I need to try this, I’ve never had frozen grapes!

[@christinec1217]

Wow girl. Busy busy again! Love it. Your dog makes me smile. I just love him.

All I can say is I am such a fan and love watching your videos and LOVE your voice please don't change.

[@islandbaby4704]

Great video. I like how clean you are when preparing food and cleaning produce. You got a lot of prep done!! Never thought to make crepes ahead of time! My hubby loves dessert crepes with Nutella and strawberries. And, yes I love the dog “supervising” you. We have a 4 legged supervisor here, too. Hehe

[@Jen-Chapin]

My kids are on a roll with those crepes! They haven’t been wanting anything else for breakfast. lol

[@kristenevans4557]

Great video! I am making some egg bites tonight. I prepped a few things but I peetered out and figured I would tackle it after dinner. 😀

[@aricabivins]

Another great video!! Thank you!

[@dmars9942]

These give me the best ideas!!! Thank you!

[@Patricia-wp2ni]

I love that you use so many glass containers.

[@nadinewalker9375]

Hi Jennifer, I made the chicken meatballs and cauliflower baked from another one of your videos and they were both delicious. I had the last of it for lunch today. Love your videos. I get so many great ideas from your videos.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Nadine!

[@nadinewalker9375]

I’ll be trying the egg bites this weekend.

[@ebb9079]

Is there any better meal prep youtuber than you on youtube?! I'll answer, NO. :) I sooo enjoy your videos!! You give me so much inspiration when I'm feeling lazy!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Ema!

[@mumlifewithmel1460]

I love the lasagne, garlic bread and salad idea. That is so nice.

We never get tired of your videos!!😊😊😊❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@kaylahawkins1288]

Again!! Love these videos! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@simplymarisa8]

So happy you shared a lasagna prep! We only eat the lasagna from Costco because it's so delish but that's also because I'm scared to make one!😂I wrote down ingredients and I'm off to attempt this!! Always get great ideas from your vids!!

[@AprilNewlyMe]

So I’m on the phone with Toni & she hears your voice and I quote says “are you watching that prep lady again” 😂🤣😂LOL. I want to make your egg bite (in the oven) and no I’m not sick of watching you make them.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Lol hilarious!!!

[@texasoutlook60]

Yum, so when I'm sick I'm calling you next time!! Everyone makes their lasagna differently so it's nice to have another variation! Thanks, saving it to my pinterest board!

[@shavonnenease9616]

That's a good idea to lay the noodles out like that! I will do that next time, thanks for the tip!

[@connieoliver9600]

Love watching your meal prep videos. Poor Murphy (lol) how could deny those brown eyes. I love when he follows you around on your cleaning videos, clearly he is a little attached to you :)

[@MissOrozco12]

I’m seriously so glad i found your channel! I’ve been watching your videos non stop, I’m going to have to make the egg bites and the chicken salad 😋

[@tut78]

Hi Jen, I love watching your videos!!! I am not a working mom...no kids not married but I find your videos very inspiring and help me with meal prep for eating healthy. I am also in healthcare so would you mind making a video about your job and what you do? I think that would be very interesting to watch; btw you have a beautiful family.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Hi thank you! I will consider it!

[@MissMayhem637]

You are seriously meal prep goals. Definitely a new subscriber here! Now To go binge watch all your other meal prep videos 😂

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you!

[@Kari-iu9jx]

I actually like to make my lasagna sauce extra 'saucy' and very well seasoned, so it doesn't dry out my lasagna! It comes out delish, even if I do say so myself!

[@cherylm4867]

Great video and your dog is so cute!

[@cindyborcherding8927]

PS... oh... pepper jack and ham egg bites. NEXT one to try!!

[@atlantis7070]

Thank you so much for all your meal preps. I get tired of the whole sandwich or leftovers for lunch.

[@rebeccalehr7233]

This was so incredibly helpful thank you!!

I've too have been to the Beecher's store in Seattle. We did a food walking tour of Pike Place and that was one of the stops on the tour. We tried the Mac N Cheese.

Hi Jennifer, first time visitor, really enjoyed your meal prep part, your family is lucky to have you taking care of them :))) you really have your game together!!! nice voice too by the way, thank you for sharing your tricks :) i was led to your channel by watching LeeAnne's blog, Grady's mom.

Thank you so much!

[@annawilson2476]

I love your videos!!

[@heathercox2348]

I use a potato masher to "cut up" my eggs for egg salad. Total game changer.

[@purple4d]

P.S, your lasagna with garlic bread and salad you made for your inlaws was so thoughtful xx

[@243tad]

I use crppes to make dinners. We call them canelones, and i make the batter myself, with 4 eggs, a cup of flour, salt and then adding enough water or milk so that it reaches a soft cream sort of texture. I fikk them like i've seen americans do with enchiladas. With corn and a bechamel, or with onion mushrooms and cream cheese, even with meat and a tomato sauce. They are super freezable and i think lighter and softer than enchiladas. I bake them as they are and then add a sauce and parmesan cheese on top.

[@Jen-Chapin]

This sounds delicious!

[@linaciuff1099]

I Love your videos !

[@lorijane6337]

I dont even meal prep i just love watching these 😀

[@Randilynn66]

I always use lots of Italian seasoning when I make my sauce. They need to be cooked in some of the fat so the volatile oils release. I don't eat beef, so I use ground turkey sausage.

[@whilebabyssleeping6244]

I clean my grapes same way as you except i pull them from the stem AFTER i did my vinegar wash. I'm always afraid the dirty water and vinegar taste will go in the hole into the grape

[@miscelaneosymas9923]

i drain the lasagna noodles and add some fresh water and it is easier in that way .. great video

[@Angelaml222]

Do you prefer the no-boil noodles or is that what you just had on hand? Love watching you cook!

[@Jen-Chapin]

No it’s just what Aldi had :)

[@Angelaml222]

I was curious because I’ve never used them. Love your to-go salad kits too. So awesome! I’d love to receive that for supper.

[@Randilynn66]

I've never seen that crepe mix. I wonder if they only sell it in the midwest. My mom always made blintzes( a crepe stuffed with a cheese filling) when we were young. Those are a labor of love. I tried once and they were a hot mess.

[@rumpanuthabetha]

I thought mayo doesn't freeze well. I just read somewhere that you must use some other salad dressing like miracle whip as mayo separates.

[@originalcaligirl7466]

Your kitchen is Beautiful. Wow. My dream kitchen. 👏😁

[@tammydurham]

Love your videos! Another suggestion for the egg salad is to break up the eggs using a potato masher. Works great. :)

[@Jen-Chapin]

That is a great idea!!

I love love your food preps! And I can't tell you how excited I was to see u make the eggs bites in ur oven I don't have a insta pot and was unsure if it worked in the oven I'm obsessed with the SB ones but a girl goes broke each week u just save me a car payment a month lol you rock!🤗

[@Jen-Chapin]

Aw thank you so much Kelly! Have a great week!

[@katiejneely]

Have you tried the Instant Pot Egg Loaf method for the egg salad? It works great!

[@Jen-Chapin]

What is that?

[@katiejneely]

@@Jen-Chapin Looks and seems weird but works like a charm! One bowl and no egg peeling! www.simplyhappyfoodie.com/instant-pot-egg-loaf/

[@loveandlife4222]

Another great video!! So, can you freeze the sous vide Starbucks eggs? I’m going to make some this week - my hubby doesn’t like them so I wondered if I could freeze half of them? Thanks for the great ideas and for the motivation Jen! You’re awesome!

Yes you can! I have done it a few times.
