5 FAMILY DINNER IDEAS! 😀 DINNERS FROM THE PANTRY + FREEZER 🍽 COLLAB WITH

[@lostnwa98]

Hi Jen, Christine from frugal fit mom said we had to come here or we couldn't watch her videos anymore. Joking, enjoyed your video 🙃

[@Jen-Chapin]

Lol!!

[@morgans4409]

I guarantee you will stick around! Jen is awesome!! 🙂

[@karleebladt]

I am coming from frugal fit mom! I'm so happy to see that there are others out there who use boxed items sometimes! I work full time so making things from scratch can get tough on weeknights! I love Christine's recipies but those tend to fall on weekends 😉 I'm also a neighbor in Nebraska. I look forward to future videos!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Welcome!!

[@aimeemorris9175]

Me too, I came from frugal fit mom.

[@brianal9438]

I'm coming over from Christine's channel... I may or may not have binge watched your videos for the past 3 hours 😅 Love your energy and your content!

[@katiestockham9378]

We call our cheesy potatoes, party potatoes. And we also add a layer to top that is a mixture of cheese, melted butter and corn flakes. Once it bakes in the oven, it comes out so crispy and delicious. And I agree, the leftovers taste even better!

[@jamesnbrenda8960]

Really enjoying our daily dose of Jen!!🤗

[@Jaydit7]

I've been following you and Christine for what seems like forever, but it's been about a year. I love the tone of your channel, and the delish recipes you share...

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you so much!!

[@kathleenkaufman6007]

I LOVE Shake N Bake. Hope ya'll are well after those storms.

[@melissahartsfield6289]

Am I the only who likes Jen's videos before I even watch them??? 😊

[@nanettebonitz824]

I just watched Fugal Fit Mom. You were recommended to watch by Christine. She came up with yummy meals. Both you two cook like I do when there is no meal plans. I'm looking forward to your next video.

[@mediumbelly]

I made some pantry spaghetti yesterday! ground turkey and minced carrots from the freezer, leftover white and red onion, garlic, a few leftover cherry tomatoes, and a can of diced tomatoes and a can of premade sauce from the pantry. it turned out really good. I forgot to add a zucchini and yellow squash from the fridge but just gonna roast that up tonight to have with leftover spaghetti 😁

[@yesiamthatamanda2670]

We call them cheesy potatoes also. Never thought to have them for breakfast. That is great!

[@GinaKayLandis]

Love you and Chris both! I am a family of one so it seems silly to watch large family cooking, but I figure once the C-19 is over I can have friends over again sooo... y'all are part of my developing cooking skilkz! Loving Vlogust!

[@Rosie-mz4bx]

All these looked so good and easy just my style! Thank you for mixing your pasta with the sauce.

[@marissadeleon9755]

Another awesome video for us busy working mamas. Jen Chapin lifer hereeee 🙌🏽

[@Mummakat]

We were always a meat and potato family here in Australia too! ☺️

[@tracierd9766]

Luv both you and Christine from FFM! I’ve watched both of you forever and just love your content. So glad you collabed- I always look forward to all your recipe ideas, grocery hauls, meal prep weekends, DITLs, and all other foodie-stuffs! ❤️

[@maureendavidson8264]

Looked like all delicious every-day meals. Thanks!

[@danielleharrison1242]

You can add a package of taco seasoning, a block of cream cheese, a can of refried beans and shredded cheese to a bowl mix everything together then bake until everything its heated though and melted then serve with chips. It's called Texas trash dip.

[@jaclynhart8848]

Frugal Fit Mom might have sent me, but your content is what is keeping me here. I’m excited to join your KZbin family and look forward to catching up on vlogust. 😁

[@cooperbybbyumoneypenny5048]

I could watch u chop all day long..lol I have watched u and kristen for along time love both ur vids so u all doing this together is epic!!

[@christeenprice4428]

Everything looks so yummy, thanks

[@VanessaWhiteRandomNess]

Yay!!! You do so many videos but I love your WFD!!! Thanks for inspiring yet again girl!! Xo ✌️💕🇨🇦🥰🙌

[@FakeItTilYaMakeIt]

A tip I picked up from somewhere, add a dollop of sour cream to your refried beans- it makes them so creamy and they don’t dry out. Delish!

[@thewashingtons702]

Hi Jen!!! I completely agree about the condensed cheddar cheese soup! However last week I had no condensed soup at all and I used a half cup of Rico's cheddar cheese sauce and 1/4 cup of heavy cream! So good!!! Love your content!!! ♥️

[@anitaashley8946]

Enjoyed your video, just as Christine told me I would. Will be watching. Thank you to both of you.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@LifesLittleThingz]

This was a great week of comfort food! You’ve made me hungry for potato soup and spaghetti. Yum!

[@FrugalFitMom]

Refried beans in the OVEN!?!?!?!?!? What is this sorcery?!?!?!

[@Jen-Chapin]

😂😂

[@amandah9205]

Christine, this is GENIUS! It's how my grandmother makes them.

[@bookwyrmn]

It's the best way that's what lol 🤣🤣

[@gobigorgohomefamilymeals9389]

Omg I love both of your channels I love how Christine says how do I keep cutting my head off in the camera headless Christine lol Jen I absolutely love your channel to you guys are so outspoken and amazing strong women love both you guys

[@christinesegars3560]

Thanks for the tip about microwaving the hashbrowns first. I’m going to try the cheese soup instead of cream of chicken.

[@Daubenton951]

I came from Christine's channel! I am definitely going to recreate some of these recipes!

[@greenlady43]

I can eat soup any day of the week, no matter the time of year. I use instant potatoes to thicken my potato soup

[@mediumbelly]

you got me craving potato soup and cheesy potatoes!! 🤤

[@kendallmurray7689]

Hi Jen, Christine, Frugal Fit Mom sent me over. Yummy!! Potato Soup...I have so many potatoes in my house. Enjoyed your video.

[@randijohnson3806]

I just came from frugal fit mom and I'M from Iowa too! This made me so excited! 😆

[@randijohnson3806]

Seriously HyVee brand, Funeral Potatoes--makes me smile!

[@barbiedoll6530]

I am totally making that potato soup! I just watched a Cook's Country on PBS and they rated RAO's the best marinara sauce. These all look so delicious!

[@queennefratiti69]

We have some of the cheesy hashbrown casserole in the frig right now and yes it is delicious as leftovers. I actually prefer it the next day. I love both you and Christine! Your personalities are quite similar to mine.

[@cindyphipps621]

Just watched Christine’s video and now checking out what you are making! I enjoy your channel! 😍

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Hi Jen. Another great video of delicious meals. I'll eat any of it even the box stuff. The box stuff is good too. I love watching you and Christine soo much. Y'all are two of the realest ladies on here.

[@joyoliver5122]

Everything looks yummy!

[@ItsyourgirlRoswell]

I have a potato soup recipe that is the same but in place of milk you use 4 8oz packages of cream cheese cook until melted and omg 😱 it’s so creamy and so amazing you would never know it didn’t call for a drop of milk 🥛

[@keychabudgets]

Love you cooking videos! Thanks for sharing the simple meal ideas.

[@cindyhumphreys900]

Love your meals-simple and tasty. Christine sent me. Thank you.

[@Tetrisofthesea]

Yes! Here from Christine's recommendation also. Great videos! LOVE LOVE LOVE! 😁❤

[@jamieanton7381]

Love your channel Jen!

[@katrinaruggle9096]

Hey! I came from frugal fit mom. Super cool to hear you live in Iowa, I do too! Hope your family is doing alright after the crazy storm we got. I'm not a mom or anything but I love this content and will definitely stick around!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I grew up on a farm and we grew and put up a lot of corn. We had a gadget that was almost like a mandoline, but it was concave and it shaved off the kernels straight into the dish below it. I realize that is pretty much a one use thing, but, if you do corn frequently, it would definitely be worth it. I will see if I can find a link online.

[@annejoyner3729]

My mom made the best potato soup- it was a sweet moment to see your soup!

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

I just did an inventory of my basement deep freeze and found 3 containers of chicken stock, a quart of ham and potato soup and a pint of taco soup. Have u tried cooking bacon in the air fryer?? 8-10 min at 400 degrees. I cook 4 slices at one time.

[@amberrenee9048]

I really like to have kielbasa with mustard too but try dipping it in mustard then in bbq. It's not the same if you mix the sauces in a dish but put them next to each other if that makes sense. 😁

[@lisamartin3346]

Love your videos! Can’t wait to see what you’ve posted every day.

[@joannemott71]

Hi Jen all of these recipes look so good 😊. I really enjoyed this video and I am always excited for the next one. Thank you for sharing. 😊🤗❤️🙏🇨🇦

[@angelamullis7343]

I’m making oven roasted pork chops and stuffing too! Adding frozen peas to finish out my dinner 🥰Thank you so much for sharing your Vlogust! Love and squishy hugs 😘

[@pamelahagan3215]

over from frugal fit Mom, thanks for the video

[@barbie62bj]

Jen, recipes look so yummy, I already watch frugal fit mom, great videos also.

[@patriciahulett4411]

Thanks so much Jen ! So loved the dinner recipes 😊

[@Jen-Chapin]

Glad you like them!

[@Edgedamage01]

Christine is so hilarious! Love her and you a bunch 💕💕❤️🇨🇦 love the chopping it's like ASMR for me..........I'm 💯making the potato soup

[@elainekloss4404]

Love your Fiesta dishes. I live near the factory.

[@jodyblinoff4277]

Hi Jen. I'm a Frugal Fit Mom fan and came over from Christine's collab video. Liked and subscribed. The collabs do work, lol! Great video!

[@jodyblinoff4277]

Oh, and I'm a mom from Toronto, Canada.

[@katiejneely]

That Tasty Tacos hot sauce is sooooooo good. Recently bought some at Hy Vee and couldn't believe how good it was.

[@bnbtemple5936]

Know this is repetitive, but I could watch you twirl and peel carrots on an endless loop 😊🥕😊!

[@karidannels3941]

I didn’t know you were from Iowa. It’s kind of nice to see a fellow Iowan on here.

[@khepri152]

I'm here from Christine's channel!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Welcome!!

[@lynelleholmes7138]

Hi Jen! I’m visiting from frugal fit mom. I’m loving your recipes already!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you and welcome!

[@linabonar1153]

Hi Jen. Just love watching your videos, Thank you for sharing your dinners with us.. love potato soup can’t wait for the weather to get cooler.its still pretty hot here in Ontario Canada. When I make my potato soup I also have bacon in mine..speaking of Bacon. Our bacon is exactly like the ones in the USA . What Americans called Canadian bacon is ham to us.. just wanted to let you know that little bit of information. Again I love all your videos and you are my all time favourite KZbinr... have a great evening and god bless you and your family...

[@TaliGvir]

Hi I joined you through fit frugal mom can't wait to see your meals

[@melissacannon4035]

Hi Jen so you are normal after all hahaha love watching you every day

[@jeanhecker4533]

You had a really bad storm out there. Everything okay where you are. Food looks great as always.

[@amberlyons6161]

Hello, here from christines channel! Great meal ideas! Will definitely try the potato soup. Love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you and welcome!

[@GlimpsesbyKay]

Here because Christine recommended you. Will be back for more.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thanks and welcome!!!

[@teresafroelke4103]

Found you through Frugal fit mom. I live in Iowa too. I live in Northeast Iowa. 😀

[@nikkibright3147]

Hi Jen! If you dont have the veggie stock should you use 2 bouillon cubes in the potato soup?

[@thrashermomma1992]

Here from Frugal Fit Mom's video...but just subbed. So glad to find you!!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thrasher Momma welcome!! ❤️

[@gillianmay5817]

''When we're not in the middle of a pandemic..'' HAHAH the bluntness made me laugh. Thank you lol.

[@frannt3185]

Hey there tfs we appreciate all you have put in everything you do!! Yes the collab is great chris is a bunch of laughs. U both rock your channels

[@Reneetillman1]

Hi came from frugal mom. Glad I did.

[@nicholew664]

Growing up my mom would sometimes use the instant potatoes to thicken her potatoe soup haha I was typing this right as u said it

[@ayoung9441]

Hi Jen, Christine sent me over today. Gonna try the cheesy hashbrown dish.

[@annettecarolherbst]

Everything looked delicious Jen. We smoked a brisket for the first time on Sunday. It was a full brisket for just the 2 of us. It was ok but we could definitely work on it before we try another. I think it will be fine sliced on my slicer for sandwiches and street tacos.

[@wildshadowstar]

If you don’t like large chunks of onion in some recipes but still want them to flavor the food, have you tried using a food processor to finely dice them? I have a small food processor that I use for such things, a then like quarter my onion in order to fit it in my food processor. I do this sometimes when I make potato or egg salad. Also, for freshly shredded cheese tasting better than the pre shredded kind, in case you were unaware, the pre shredded bagged stuff is coated in potato starch as an anti clumping measure.

[@Jen-Chapin]

I think I’ve tried that with the onions before, I’ve also used dried minced onion a lot :)

[@janicep3730]

Hi, i saw you with the corn and my trick is using the angel food pan to cut the corn off the cob, it already has the hole for the corn and then the kernels fall down in the pan :)

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yes this is a great tip!

[@mariezafonte6473]

Hi Jen, Christine sent me. Going to make your potato soup tomorrow.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Awesome!

[@GrabLifebytheHeartful]

Hi Jen! I absolutely LOVED this video! Thanks so much for showing me your recipe for potato soup. It is very cold where I'm living at the moment, so potato soup is certainly something I need to make soon. You should try top your potato soup with some croutons next time. It's super delicious if you've never done it before! They add a great crunch and it goes very well with the creamy soup. I'm not sure why, but I find soup is so much more tempting when it is topped with croutons. I hope Conner had a brilliant birthday. He's such a special boy. His heart is so kind and loving, I can't get enough of his humour too, :) Please take care and lots of love to you and your family, xx

[@ElizabethMarie173]

New subscriber from Frugal Fit Mom! Love your channel!

[@omrhill1]

Seeing you cut the corn reminds me that last year you did a video about freezing the corn for later use. Can you remind me again how you did that? Thanks!

[@Jen-Chapin]

I might have blanched it but you don’t actually have to do that :)

[@Randilynn66]

I love the 🌈 watch band.

[@cindymoore9096]

Jen, have you ever saved the cobs after cutting off the corn to make corn stock? I hear it’s great for making corn chowder, but I bet it would also be nice added to potato soup. (I may have asked this before. My apologies if so.)

[@Jen-Chapin]

I have not!

[@ReadAndThrift]

Do you not put cornflakes on top of your cheesy potatoes?! That’s my favorite part haha I only ever have them for Christmas and maybe Easter but I need to make it more often. Have you done spaghetti in the instant pot? It’s so amazing

[@nicolecorallo2768]

Hi! I came from Christine's video... I didn't even see the recipes and I already subscribed 🤭☺️👍

[@Jen-Chapin]

Welcome!! ❤️

[@brendatate8986]

Everything looks delicious! Made me want some Lima beans! Yum I love them 😍

[@holycanoli3615]

New subbie! Frugal fit mom sent me and I'm not mad about it ❤

[@MemeS-sb2cq]

I just came here from Frugal Fit Mom! Foods look so good. I just subbed here. =)

[@lifewithchristine72]

I love watching your videos. TFS

[@annjohnson543]

Hey, we're almost neighbors. I'm in southwestern Wisconsin so I know the meat and potatoes deal. That's what I was brought up on and that's what I generally cook for dinner. I love to cook but I hate trying to figure out what to make. It seems like I fall into the same old things all the time. My husband is no help deciding what to make because he loves whatever I cook. LOL. Your potato soup looks so warm and comforting. I'd eat that all year. We love cheesy potatoes! Sometimes if I want more crunch I will crush corn flakes, toss them with a little butter, then put them on top of the potatoes with about 10 minutes to go. They get nice and golden brown and are so tasty. Thanks for more great food, Jen!!!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Hi neighbor!!!

[@tarasimon3918]

I love you both and am a subscriber to both. I would love to be friends with you both. I have a little restaurant all Italian food and love to talk foodie! Keep it up girls you always make me smile.

[@cassandrarosa4106]

Im thankful to get sent over here from FFM tine for me to subscribe and binge

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you and welcome!

[@LifewithCasey21]

I was this years old when I realized that’s what that part of the potato peeler is for!! 🤯

[@marcialane8235]

I find it so weird you do Lima beans as a side..I guess because my family hate the texture of them...but I may need to try again..maybe since I’m so much older now maybe worth a try.
