Meal Prep Like a Boss! // Keto, Low Carb & Healthy Meal Prep // Working Mom Meals

[@vickiealexander6739]

One thing I can't stand when watching meal prep videos is the amount of useless talking people do, you on the other hand just got on with it so thank you for a fantastic video and fantastic ideas. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thanks!

[@davonwilliams75]

Wow. I just watched another long winded video and said the same thing. Way too much talking!! The video was done long before it ended. This video is awesome. Straight to the point with no unnecessary info.

[@noelsturrup3817]

Like a boss!

[@amy8222]

I couldn’t agree more Vickie!!! Her videos are the best!!!

[@valeriebeauchemin1178]

I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. kzbin.infoUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.

[@shakinanicole]

This is THEE BEST meal prep video I EVER SAW on KZbin 🙌😍

[@Jen-Chapin]

Aw thank you!

[@beekind6267]

Indeed it is!!!

[@AaliyahThompson]

Agreed

[@mollymanneh852]

This lady is amazing! I barely want to cook one meal a day and she is doing a weeks worth with snacks and food to take to work! Granted,she has a husband and kids and I am a widow now with grown kids,but she is truly amazing!!

[@143hoehoe]

I am so obsessed with watching you chop and prep your produce it’s so relaxing for me

[@franbongard7710]

This is my first EVER KZbin comment!!!! THANK YOU for being normal. Thank you for being real. Thank you for being a busy family girl, being well spoken, caring enough to share, for making easy and quick meals and for making it actually look possible. As I watched this, I questioned where you got your energy to force yourself to do all this but I realized of course as every mother, you do this for your family. I hope Adam reciprocates with his lion’s share of housework also!! You have really inspired me. So glad I happened upon this. Subscribing!

[@christinecortese9973]

Your meal prep videos are among the very best! I look forward to them & always have a notepad and cup of coffee ready when I can sit down to watch. Really appreciate your hard work putting these out.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you so much Christine!

[@chargersenior07]

For the bagles, next time I would put them in a big ziploc bag, cut the tip, and draw a circle.

[@marjoriemiller7820]

Or, a pastry bag

[@janicereeves4191]

It's not a good consistency for that.

[@danaecovington6628]

Your ideas are awesome and...you have a sweet non annoying voice that I adore!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you :)

[@SJNigro1]

For shaping the bagels ... try putting “dough” into a ziplock bag then cut a corner off (or use a pastry bag) and squeeze out making a donut shape on sheet pan. May have to spray the inside of bag with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

[@gerilynne1955]

I LIKE THAT IDEA. Thanks for saying this

[@theresagrieb]

This is an AWESOME meal prep video! And one of the best parts was ... your “RECAP” at the end!! It really shows the endless combinations/meals that can be made with each prepped ingredient! Thank you!! 👏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Theresa!

[@gmork.]

Man, watching this makes me realize I’ve been making it way too difficult for myself. Thanks so much for the tips!

[@ashleyisonabudget]

I can watch this alllllll day! You absolutely destroyed the definition of meal prep! I'm sitting here like =O! I make 2 different meals (lunch and dinner) and I'm exhausted. This is a whole new level!

[@angelawilliams9088]

Wow! Love your prep for Keto. The best and easiest video I've seen so far! Thank you

[@gerilynne1955]

Lady, I have to give you a Lot of credit. Here you are married with two youngsters, plus a full time job. Here you are (along with thousands of other women. ) planning meals for your week. Preparing time to be ready as the week progresses. Along with the many other household chores, homework laundry etc. But making sure your family is eating healthy on top of it. You (as well as many other women that do this. ) deserve a medal, and a weekly spa day. Love your ideas for meals and how you prepare them. I'm in week four of keto. You have answered many of my questions about things like meatloaf. Great informative video. Thanks.

[@soniamartinezsaenz4727]

You had me hooked the whole video! I didn’t skip through at all! Your amazing at what you do! Definitely gave me some great ideas. Thanks!

[@dianneroy3208]

You certainly will eat well during the week, thanks to you and all your hard work. They look delicious.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Dianne!

[@KetoCookbooksCorner]

*Thanks for sharing this resource that empowers us to make healthier choices and stay on track with our keto goals!*

[@omekamoore662]

I sure hope your family appreciates you because you did a great job. That's alot of work.

[@suyapachavez1625]

U make me cook u are the perfect teacher for the healthy meal prep love it thank u soo much 💯🙌🏻💯❤

[@jessicabrown1345]

For the bagels you have to wet your hands and then roll and shape into circles. Makes it so easy! You gotta keep making your hands wet for each bagel but it makes it simple 👍🏻

[@anikakraus6144]

I was at like 15 minutes when I realised this Video was 30 minutes....I didn't notice the time while listening and watching because your Voice is soooo nice and these mealpreps are great!

[@paulafries6101]

Girl you rock when it comes to meal prep! I will definitely use some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@ttinkers1062]

Your family is so lucky to have you. What a wonderful way to show so much love.

[@sherrydee7880]

This video was much more of a true Keto eating plan. Thank You! Bagel tip: For 8 bagels, I use 6 oz mozzarella, 2 oz cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups almond flour, I add the 2 room temperature beaten eggs last. I omit the baking powder, spices & the egg wash. Microwave the cheeses in 30 second bursts & try not to exceed 2 minutes. Mix well with a silicone spatula. Add the almond flour, then the beaten eggs. This is when I use my hand to incorporate it all. Separate into 8 pieces. Roll into balls. Quickly roll into long log shapes between 2 hands & connect at the ends & place on the paper. I then use a spray bottle with plain water to mist the bagels, sprinkle on the TJ's seasoning, mist the bagels again & bake for 9 mins in a 400 degree oven. I used to use 1 teaspoon of baking powder & they rise like the real thing. But my food allergies make it hard for me to use baking powder. My way is still good enough for my taste buds. When they are cooled, I slice them, add unsalted butter & cold cream cheese. Also good with sliced salmon or other lunch meats for a healthy quick & filling snack/meal. I got my recipe from combining the fathead dough recipe on the Keto Connect channel & the bagel recipe I found on the Keto de la Creme channel. *EDIT- Rolling the dough is a lot like making a coil for a clay pot in a ceramics class!

[@mamasaurusrex5915]

Your keto meal prep and cleaning videos are like crack to me. LOVE them!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you so much!

[@danit7969]

Totally agree!!!!

[@tonya5791]

Same I love them.

[@nefbee1743]

Crack is like crack to me 🤪

[@JenninKanata]

If you always season your salmon a certain way you can put the seasonings in with a salmon when you freeze it that way when you take it out to defrost it will marinate itself. That's what we like to do with meats that we want to have the same flavoring especially if we do a bunch of grilled Meats at once for salads and or quick meals.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yes that is a great idea! Thank you Jenn!

[@joannagonzales7886]

you are amazing even my 6 yr old granddaughter likes watching you. Dont listen to negative people. You and your family are loving and happy thats all you have to be concerned about. hugs, jo anna

[@Jen-Chapin]

Aw, that's so sweet! Thank you Jo Anna!

[@kristenj3517]

LOL I am loving the pup staring at you while you're prepping!

[@daniellasanchez5831]

Seriously the BEST meal prep video on KZbin! Please keep making these!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lettyt669]

I use latex gloves in the kitchen. (Powder free obviously) Just put them on and put a couple drops of oil on your gloved hand and voila. Easy to handle this dough and clean up is easy.

[@esalenchik]

I add a couple of Tbsns of coconut flour to the bagel mixture and it makes it a little drier and easier to handle. I also mix it with a wooden spoon handle and then wet my hands to shape them. They’re soooo yummy and filling too. I make them tiny now and get at least a dozen from the recipe, and one is still the perfect size for my appetite with cream cheese or avocado 🥑

[@Jen-Chapin]

Great idea!

[@Honey_1012]

For youre first recipe, like others have mentioned try using a zip lock bag for shaping. Also to mould the circles by hand, wet you're hands a little this helps stop the dough from sticking to you're hands. I have made this recipe many times and have seen many versions and I have to say its one of the best recipes. I add fresh garlic, greek seasoning and parmesan cheese and its like a garlic cheesy bread.

[@erikahatcher3642]

Wow!!! Hands down!! The Best I've seen on here!!🌹🙋💃💃💃😋😋😋your even flow.. delicious looking meals..cleanliness..love for family!!! Awesome!! I'm intrigued!!

[@libraroze]

Oh wow!!! Just stumbled on your channel and I’m a huge fan now! Love all the tips and tricks you gave. I’ll be using your links to buy a bunch of the meal prep helpers!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Annette and welcome!! 😀

[@bettysprong9908]

What a good helper he did a good job . He's so cute. My grandkids live to help me in the kitchen. Even if it's helping to make ice tea like the 1abd 1/2 yr old he has the biggest smile if accomplishment.

[@maxcaufield9317]

For the bagels, I would suggest putting the dough in a ziplock bag, and cut the corner off. It makes a great piping bag!

[@Jen-Chapin]

That is an excellent idea!

[@suzanadancks]

This is the nest meal prep I've seen on youtube and I have seen a few! Thank you so much for these brilliant ideas. You have made my life so much easier. Cheers from Auz

[@sofiaschoolcraft515]

I have been watching meal prep videos for years! Years I tell you! I have been eating keto for about 8 months. How did I just find your videos yesterday? The best by far! Im addicted. inspired

[@jademimssim5742]

You do a great job handling all the food and family. God bless you for all you do.

[@justmejo9008]

For the bagel dough I have read others refrigerate it for a few min. And wet your hands lightly so it doesn't stick to you.

[@bc101ful]

Thank you for Keto. I have been keto for 9 mos and best thing i have done. Awesome video!

[@sidoniewinterpasternak9938]

For the funnel, just cut off the top of a soft drink bottle or any other bottle, depending on the size of the opening you want. You can dispose of them or store them. Cheap and reusing the plastic

[@GradysMom]

Thank you for making this video. We do a lot of the same types of things to prepare for the week. Great job mama, please keep making these! xxoo

[@Jen-Chapin]

GradysMom thank you!!

[@kjgauntt]

Thank you for showing this video on fast speed and just the facts mam! I will continue to watch you because of this!

[@VacationVibesTravel]

I love your meal prep ideas. I'm just starting keto so this is helping give me lots of ideas of items I can prep ahead of time for the week. Thanks!

[@shivs888]

I really admire your dedication. I’m starting keto with my husband. Meal prepping and new recipes are on overload here but I honestly cannot imagine doing it with kids. These recipes are fantastic. Thank you!

[@kazhausler3430]

Hi Jen from Australia!! Of all the meal planning videos yours is the best!! Everything you do is done with love and what I love is you cook your meals for dinner every night... Gooo girl!! As for the processed food gag... Noooooooo!!! You buy produce and your meat etc with limited processed items!! I've watched some opposition videos with families who overload their freezers and fridges it's a wonder those white goods don't blow up!!! I love your sanitary meal prep and keto wholesome food! Keep up the great work! I hate the over use of zip lock bags in America with no conscience towards landfill. Love that wherever possible u use glass to store your items! I'm thinking of starting an Aussie channel to show how differently we do things here!!! Love to you.. You are an awesome wife and Mum.. Me... A 65 year old Nanna who loves cooking tasty wholesome food!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹

[@stacyhowell1549]

What I like best about your videos is that these are recipes that my family would actually eat! They're simple and use ingredients that I typically have around anyways. As other's have said, I'm slightly bothered by the amount of single-use plastic bags, I get it. It's convenient and we're all busy and I find that I use them as well, on occasion. Thanks for the awesome recipes!

[@laurielyon1892]

For your tuna cakes you could have used the crushed pork rinds. I use it all the time when I make salmon patties

[@annmartin2448]

Hello Laurie, do you have a recipe for salmon patties? Thanks

[@laurielyon1892]

Ann Martin all I do is use a couple cans of salmon like I can get at Aldi and add a couple eggs, crushed pork rinds and sometimes I add some Parmesan cheese too, and of course salt and pepper. The Parmesan I guess maybe 1/3 cup but I never measure the pork rinds. Maybe start with a cup and then try to make one and see if it sticks together well.

[@annmartin2448]

Laurie Lyon thank you so much!

[@annmartin2448]

Laurie Lyon sounds amazing, can’t wait to make them!

[@princesscootney2867]

For strawberries use a straw to poke out the stem to get more of the berry

[@saiinnocent]

You could add the batter in a piping bag and pipe them into bagel shape x

[@cherolgreen3932]

saiinnocent or a ziplock bag cut out the end works the same

[@MissDeb-jq6nz]

I double and TRIPLE ALL THE COMPLIMENTS BELOW! I am inspired once again. Am revamping my kitchen cabinets, organizing for ALL KETO LIFESTYLE... and my kitchen is STILL A MESS! slowly but surely working my way to neatness, I think...🙄 so when I watch your methodical craftsmanship at the kitchen counter... I take courage! 😲😄

[@ButterflyDelight]

I just have to say that you my dear are #wifegoals and I now feel inspired❣️👍🏻💜🤗

[@MrPresley1973]

First time viewer who came across this video. Your recipes are so easy to follow and your voice is so soothing. ❤️

[@summerswmgrl]

Someone might have already said this, or you might have figured it out by now, since this video is almost 2 years old, but you can bake on a regular "bake" setting even with a convection oven. I paused the video at 28:55. You just need to push the regular "bake" button (the one without the little wheel icon, the third button over). I have a convection oven and I love baking certain things with the convection setting, but honestly I mostly just bake things on the regular setting.

[@sweetdreams822000]

Once all your bagel ingredients are incorporated put them it in the fridge til its super cold and then form it....much much easier to shape...I do that when I make keto rolls...

[@kalaknight1501]

Just watched your video for the first time! You gave very good ideas! What I liked most is that you were straight and to the point, no chit chat!! I appreciate that! I’m subscribing!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Kala!

[@Iris2Roses]

Try putting the bagel mixture in a large baggie that has a large hole in the tip. Spray the inside of the baggie with cooking spray, then add bagel mixture. Pipe onto prepared baking pan lined with parchment paper. Use a wet finger to ensure bagel circle seam is closed. I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if someone has written this already.

[@leslymarbella5472]

Just want to say you are seriously prep goals! I found your videos as I’m interested in starting Keto, your videos motivate me to start and just prep to make my life just a bit easier. I like how you just get straight to the point! I don’t usually like long videos, but I’m definitely engaged with yours. Great job! New subscriber :)

[@jaypillow0505]

First, Love all of your videos. A huge help for those us who have to cook for more than 1 person including littles! I'm still learning about Keto and your prep video are informative and professional. Tip: For a convection oven it cooks 25% faster. When using traditional directions reduce the cooking time by 25% or reduce the oven temp by 25 degrees but keep the original cooking times. I hope that helps. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@joylynn0620]

If you have a convection oven you have to adjust the temperature. Most recipes give you the temperature for a conventional oven. So when you made those peanut butter cookies you needed to cook them at 325 degrees. -25 degrees for all recipe temperatures.

[@debrabo100]

You are the QUEEN of meal prep! I love your video's. You are so efficient yet simple. And HEALTHY. Thank you!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you so much!

[@brieb9750]

You have other awesome meal prep videos. You should link them in the description box and let everyone binge watch. Just a thought 😘

[@Jen-Chapin]

Good idea!!

[@melindaridinger3008]

Have an idea for the bagels. Place mixture in a zip loc and snip the end. Pipe the mixture into a donut pan and bake.

[@beth4497]

You have a nice voice ,you should do audio books or something.

[@maureenlw626]

I use those disposable salad dressing containers for hard boiled eggs. They smoosh down without breaking and I can pop them in a small cosmetic bag with one or two frozen reusable ice packs made for kids as they are the perfect size for cosmetic bags. Keeps my egg and cheese cold for a few hours while I'm running around.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Great idea!

[@sincerelyajg5067]

Thank you for including the keto bagel recipe!!! I’m attempting to do keto however I’m in love with bagel thins for breakfast sandwiches and other sandwiches. I will make these ALL THE TIME!!!

[@daria0710]

Hi Jen, for the bagels you can also use the silicone molds(the ones that you already have) or you can order silicone molds in the shape of bagels (you can order from amazon or aliexpress, see which is cheaper)

[@nellcovington4001]

The secret to cooking in a convection oven is to lower the cooking temp 25 degrees or shorten the cooking time. I find it easiest to just lower the temperature. Great videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and ideas.

[@Jen-Chapin]

I am learning this! lol thank you Nell!

[@timothybright7064]

Hi. I saw what you were doing with the egg bites bagles. You asked what is a better way instead of using your fingers? My opinion is use a piping bag with a wider tip. Gently squeeze it out & start like you were making a doughnut & close to make smaller then add your egg. Simple...have a good evening.

[@josiesfitness8385]

I love this thank you i will do this tomorrow ASAP thanks amazing.Nice to see someone who does exatcly what i do every Saturday i knew i wasn't alone 💃

[@annw1395]

Holy cow, you did a TON! Lots of good ideas. It was extra fun watching you chop so fast! New subscriber.

[@brittneywilcox9136]

wow i can watch you without being exhausted this was great!! wow thanks a bunch!!

[@kathyholberton8241]

Also putting oatmeal in the blender and making oat flour is a healthier option for Keto friendly or low carb or just healthy and very inexpensive oat flour.

[@esraametwally2294]

This is the best meal prep video I’ve watched on KZbin so far 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you really encouraged me to get back on keto and meal prep so I don’t cheat so often Thank you Jen ♥️

[@smplyblessed]

New keto lady here (on week 2) and new subscriber as well. I loved how the pup came in for the ham pinwheels! Lol. Ps - loved EVERYTHING.

[@pookiesmamma]

I think those bagels are PERFECT!! We add grapes to our broccoli salad.

[@geethaparasuram6338]

I watch a lot of videos, but rarely leave a comment. This is by far the best meal prep video I have seen. Great work. Thank you.

[@clairematena2454]

Thank you for keeping your video's straight to the point 🙂 simple and easy to follow 💯. I'm amazed by how much you prep and how delicious every thing looks. 💜💜💜

[@lmcous]

I am actually watching this while making those bagels!! Omg so good. I did end up sifting the dry ingredients. It didn't make mixing together any easier but I didn't have huge clumps of almond flour which seems to be my issue. You rocked the meal prep this week!! I have a huge work trip next week - first time I will be away from home, on keto, and not "in charge" of my food. I'm trying to prep as much as possible to take with me so I can attempt to stay on track!! You've given me so many ideas!! 😘😘😘

[@Jen-Chapin]

Good luck!! Thank you!!

[@elliotmydude]

you're a beast for doing all of this in one day!

[@millerjoan]

May I just say, I am not necessarily doing keto but I love your choices of snacks, lunches and dinners! This video is great, love your voice and perfect editing! Think I'll stick around for a while (new sub) 🌻

[@CallMeNains]

A great tip when freezing stuff is to bag it up and lay it on a cookie sheet. I do that all of the time. 💜

[@barbarahanly1888]

Jen!! You are a machine!! Thanks for all the Keto recipes

[@roboslobin]

I watch your meal prep videos with my planner in my lap. Love them!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you! I appreciate your kind comments!

[@soultrang9]

wow you're super mom ... work full time and haven't mastered food prep for the week so kudos to you :)

[@amandamaguire979]

Try the ham, cream cheese and pickle wraps with a small green onion instead of a pickle. SO GOOD!

[@StephBer1]

You are dynamite in the kitchen, young lady! This meal prep video is inspiring and exhausting at the same time. But what you spend in time here, saves you every morning and night during the week, and keeps you on keto, which needs more prep. Oh, and, your bagels looked perfect so I wouldn't worry about doing it another way. Cheers from Australia!

[@chellee429]

Use avacodo oil on your hands or lay out the dough and use large circle cookie cutter and a small one and I'm sure they sell a bagel shape cutter.

[@lovelydavis8054]

Thanks so much for sharing ...this is my favorite prepping video. This is worth sharing...easy recipes that I don't have to go to space to find the ingredients or break the bank to buy. Easy, efficient and affordable for the entire family. Love it!

[@CocktailsWithAriana]

Loved this video. Your voice is relaxing and these recipes look great. You’ve seriously inspired me to smash out the meal prep. Currently making the bagels as we speak... I’m so excite d

[@Miss449686]

Awesome meal preps -- you make watching so enjoyable.

[@palladio7476]

I have returned to low carb eating (I had a relapse) so your low carb preps and recipes are so helpful. I want to try the tuna cakes with canned salmon. I like the egg cup better baked, too. I have been buying the uncured bacon ( several brands do this) because there are no nitrates or nitrites and less sodium and it is very good. I also do a breif soak in lemon water for the berries. It seems to keep them fresher longer. Cheers!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you!

[@sidneygirl1]

You are amazing! Best food prep and knife work I've seen on KZbin! I've begun cleaning my veggies the way you do and actually eating more veggies because of this. Thanks for sharing your low carb preps and recipes.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Tracy!

[@luckaty]

After watching the latest haul, I requested bariatric friendly ideas and then Yt suggested this video, ask and there it is.... lol ironic but appreciated! Great video!

[@brownbeauty2795]

Use the pork rinds crumbs for the meat loaf binder instead of the almond flour

[@ntljrg]

1st thing, you should start a blog where you have all your recipes for meal prepping, second can you explain next time how long you keep things in the fridge for or if you freeze anything and for how long, and heating times? Please and thank you. Third! you did an amazing job!!

[@Showtunediva]

ntljrg I agree with you. She should definitely start a blog for the recipes. Jen Wordpress is a good blog site to use!

You're a treasure, I hope you're going to write a cook book, or an ebook version..I have not looked yet to see if you left the whole recipes, with all the ingredients you've used in them, I just a few days ago came across your channel, in my quest for guidance and common sense recipes, that will encourage me to embark on this journey with some confidence...thanks Soo much for posting all this information...
