[@thehenygroup]

Your videos are amazing. I placed a huge order of all the things you used on amazon and you have inspired me to start meal prepping. My daughter started doing keto so your videos have been so helpful. You are the best.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you so much!

You are the queen, I love to watch your video, great job Jen, perfect I love it!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you!

[@cindymoore9096]

I love the snack boxes! Yum! Cucumbers are my favorite of the the “veggies & dip”, so I have learned that if you put a folded paper towel in the bottom of the bag the sliced cucumbers will keep really well for several days. And if you’re up for the time and effort, peeled and sliced broccoli stems are a really delicious addition to the veggies & dip bags. (I prefer them to the florets. They don’t taste as “green”.)

[@dorothydaniels8184]

You are such an inspiration! Since subscribing to your channel, I think I have tried more new recipes and prepped more veggies/meats than ever in my lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and kitchen skills! It is much appreciated!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Wow that is a great compliment thank you!

[@crowdedisolation]

great video. I like the narration. I wish more people did that.

[@dawntrish]

You are a meal prep master. Thanks for showing us your work!

[@SabineSquared]

You gotta check out Stasher bags, reusable zip loc bags, guilt free !

[@Jen-Chapin]

I will check this out!

[@rebeccapullen9290]

you are a godsend for me!! I am a wife that works full time out of the home and my hubby and I try to eat Keto/low carb. It is so nice to see someone meal prepping like this!!! I made the sausage puffs from one of your meal preps and they are delicious!!!! Thank you and keep it up!!!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Rebecca!

[@theresagrieb]

I love how your salad spinner is your most valued kitchen tool! So fresh! Bringing awareness to washing all produce is a wonderful eye-opener. I’m leaving my OXO salad spinner on my countertop after watching your vids! 👍🏼🥗

[@Jen-Chapin]

Awesome!! 😘

[@kathye1890]

Your meal prep videos are my absolute favorite! Thank you so much for making the effort!!!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thanks so much Kathy!

[@pickeringpair]

Hi from New Zealand. The stems of the broccoli are edible and the healthiest, yummy part.

[@QiQiRoc]

I just love your videos. So many great ideas. And you're right about the muffins. My daughter loves the packs of Little Bites, but 12 carbs is much better than 30 carbs in those packs! I'll be making hers from now on.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Awesome, thank you and I hope she likes them!

[@shannons4646]

Thanks for the ideas! Been trying to do low carb also.

[@SophiaPetrilloOG]

Welcome to the low carb sisterhood Shannon! I love it and hardly miss the carbolicious foods.

[@normasmith2750]

[@latashaw192]

Those muffins look delicious! Gotta try them!!

[@amberrenee9048]

I use a silicone ice cube tray that fits into my 6 quart instant pot. I got them from walmart and they work great🖒

[@Fitoru]

Those egg bites look incredible! Can't wait to try them myself!

[@jessicawicker5660]

Tip for getting the grapes off the stems quick. Rub them in between your hands and they come off super easy.

[@whilebabyssleeping6244]

I made brownies and sugar cookies this weekend and tossed I like 4 packs each of the carnation breakfast drink mixes and flaxseed. The Carnation powder made them SOOOOO good and great added vitamins and TONS odd protein. I used 3 chocolate and 1 vanilla with a box brownie mix and 4 vanilla with sugar cooks and a cup of flax seed in each recipe

[@thechoiceofnyc]

This garlic paste is so good even for garlic toast !

[@ebonnimdful]

What is the brand of the garlic paste?

[@stacyfenske]

I love your videos! Such great ideas! Great meal prep variety & I love the produce washing tips!

[@kimrodriquez6854]

I am new and loving the keto meal prep videos. Thank you so much.

[@arlenenipp5651]

Love it. Going to make most of this for the week

[@09echols]

You can rice the cores of broccoli and cauliflower to get additional food prep. Freezes easily

[@motivatedmom_2-656]

Wow! Just discovered your channel! Thank you for so many great ideas! Your very inspiring and motivating! Loved your video!

[@Hotinthecity195]

Wonderful job with the meal preps Jen's...everything looked great..😊 I hope you and your family have a nice week..take care..❤

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you!

[@nadinewalker9375]

You have the best kitchen gadgets ‼️ I thought I was bad with kitchen gadgets, but you have me beat. I have already ordered 2 gadgets I have seen you use, how you have me about to get some more stuff. I actually brought this 5 tier utility shelf from Aldi’s to store my gadgets on. I have it in my garage in their original boxes, now I have plenty of room in my kitchen.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Nadine Walker awesome!! 😘

[@GenJenandJuice]

L😍VE your videos!!! I have started meal-prepping bc of these videos and it has changed our family's eating (& happiness!)

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you so much!

[@donnahumphrey6778]

Another excellent video, thank you Jen!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Donna!

[@krystaljackson4063]

I have started making egg bites since watching your videos and they are a new family favorite! I do not add cottage cheese though. Just eggs,bacon and cheese! So delicious

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Krystal!

[@ceevee963]

new subbie here :) I really enjoyed all of your prep ideas and will be trying out those muffins for sure. I totally agree about washing your produce really well, especially the grapes. I actually use vinegar and a little bit of baking soda to get all of the grime off. It's amazing to see how much crud comes off when you wash them well.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Welcome!

[@katscott4]

Outstanding!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@barbicooksey2124]

I love your meal preps 😍

[@christinec1217]

I love these videos!! I really love your dog!!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Christine!

[@aliemakk]

Best KZbinr ever!! You are inspiring me to start meal prepping ❤️

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thanks Alie!

[@chantalfibrohope]

Which meal planner do you use? I followed the link, but have no idea which one would be the best. I LOVE your meal prep videos. I have to do low carb for my health, so these are GREAT!

[@kimrobinson5576]

Love how your dog shows up when the meat comes out. I haven't noticed him/her before lol

[@lizzettei5831]

Hello I see you crack the eggs the roll them and shells come right off. I think I'll try that, I crack the top of the egg and the bottom of the egg loosening the membrane. But rolling the egg after loosening the membrance may be faster. Thanks!

[@amym1402]

Newly subscribed! Love the low carb and meal prep ideas. What are the beef sticks? I don't like Slim Jims, so I'm looking for something more like the ones you used. Tx!

[@Jen-Chapin]

I get them at Aldi, they are turkey snack sticks

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you!

[@ChelbyeDagley]

Great video!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Chelbye!

[@jennifersmith9828]

A little baking soda with water, is supposed to help clean produce too!

[@Jen-Chapin]

I recently read this! Thank you!

[@elliem1606]

Love your meal prep videos!!! You make it so simple snd easy to follow. Out of curiosity, how much weight have you lost since your journey started?

[@SabineSquared]

Watching this as I am eating an egg bite I meal prepped a couple of days ago :)

[@kellyfriedrichs6425]

Yum! Great ideas love ur videos

[@krysandryman]

I am dying watching this, because all throughout the video you just randomly see your puppers eyes next to you while you're doing stuff lmao. 😍

[@Jen-Chapin]

lol I know! He wants hooman food! 😜

[@kayscoott8802]

The garlic hummus from Aldi is freakin Amazing 🧡👏👏

[@whitneywalker2085]

Inspired by your setting yourself up for success, I prepared 250 veggie and fruit snack packs for our entire call center to support a healthy snack initiative. Thanks, spread the love.

[@magifer2012]

Do you think you could use those egg ring things and make egg little patties on the weekend for like quick egg sandwiches? My partner loves those for breakfast but who wants to cook eggs in the AM before work. I might try it. You have inspired me!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Oh I bet that would work! I also have a microwave egg cooker that works great!

[@jennaberkel7101]

Love the video!

[@gayle4423]

I love the variety of foods in this meal prep! I'm just a beginner prepper (although I'm almost 60). I'm busier than ever and want hubby and I to always have quick to grab or quick and easy to cook healthy options. How long did this meal take you?

[@Jen-Chapin]

Probably 3-4 hours but I was doing other stuff in there :)

[@mariarodw2060]

I commend you on your organization of your family’s meals. It takes some energy and planning to get good and nutritious food on the table. From purchasing, hauling, “pre-prepping” and making sure everyone likes what you make them. I cook for 2-3 days at a time and my 30 y.o. daughter take turns dining at places that will change the food around so we eat fresh and Keto friendly. My dogs are even in on Keto, they love the special bacon and natural sausage treats. I use my pressure cooker for my proteins. We eat pork and beef roasts with lots of onions and bells. My fur children are 10 and 12 and eat better than I do. Great video! Enjoy

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yes it does take a lot of work!

[@lifeofpakistaniworkingmom]

Hello I’m fari and im in love with your videos

[@cynthia7972]

Do you remember what the yogurt containers were called? I was trying to find them on the Walmart website

[@Jen-Chapin]

No I’m not sure! I don’t even know if they have them anymore, I probably bought them over a year ago :(

[@michelewindom6963]

Where did you get your yogurt containers? Thanks and great video as usual!

[@Jen-Chapin]

They are from Walmart :)

[@kristenc8446]

Have you tried the Julian’s Bakery Pro Granola? I buy it on amazon in like a vanilla flavor and it is sooo good! It’s technically keto approved but I buy it because it’s only 97 calories a serving and 12g of protein. That’s hard to find in granola now!

[@Jen-Chapin]

I will look for this!

[@breezygodiva503]

Perhaps you could substitute a sugar free maple syrup for the honey if you're concerned about the sugar in the honey.

[@Jen-Chapin]

I was thinking that too! I actually have some I could use :)

[@qwaychou8561]

@@Jen-Chapin i know this is old, but i would try the skinny syrups for the honey, if you're still concerned with the sugar your kids are eating

[@SabineSquared]

I am so jealous of the ranch seasoning, we don’t have anything like this in Australia. Does it have sugar / carbs in it?

[@Jen-Chapin]

I think it’s 1 carb for 2 tablespoons.

[@amk4679]

Check Costco if it’s in your area...

[@sunnysmilesstudio4115]

Love your meal prep videos! I'd like to try making those egg bites, but I don't have an Instant pot. I do have an electric pressure cooker and a rice cooker ( which I had before the instant pot came out, bummer!) I don't think you cooked this with pressure, and I don't have any molds that are round that would fit in my rice cooker... do you have any suggestions so I can make them in the oven, yet keeping that moist texture? If I were to get some molds, do you think a rice cooker would work?

[@Jen-Chapin]

You can totally cook them in the oven in silicone muffin cups, I’ve done this a lot!

[@SabineSquared]

I have a Zyliss salad spinner and it’s really good but I think it’s quite a bit smaller than yours which can be a bit annoying

[@GenJenandJuice]

You mentioned in the last cleaning video about a towel in the dish washer???? Water sitting on the dishes is my biggest pet peev! Where do u place the towel? And at what point in the cycle??

[@Jen-Chapin]

GenJenandJuice after the cycle is all done you can just fold up a towel and use it to prop the door open so the steam comes out :)

[@joannalavalle377]

Hey Hun is there another way to cook those little egg muffins besides the Insta pot? Thanks

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yes you can totally cook them in the oven in a muffin tin! I’ve used the silicone cups before too in the oven and they work great.

[@Jen-Chapin]

I would try 400 for 15 mins to start, just use your judgement til they are cooked through :)

[@joannalavalle377]

Jennifer Chapin Awesome 😊 thank you so much !!

[@lmcous]

Sigh -- watching this while waiting for Florence and thinking meal prep is going to have to wait for a bit. We are going to eat everything I prepped for the week tomorrow and Thursday bc we don't know when our power might go out. Everything looks so delicious!!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Good luck and stay safe!

[@heatherhendricks3188]

Yum to everything!!!!!

[@jpeachy4u482]

Your dog is adorable, waiting right by your side in the hopes that something will fall on the floor.😉 PS I hate washing grapes too, but you gotta do it. I found a spider in it once😲.

[@Jen-Chapin]

I found a ladybug once lol!

[@teamairam839]

New subscriber here! Glad that I found your channel. Keep those great and easy meal preps coming.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you!

[@magrod4857]

Hello new subscriber here! I’m actually going back to work after being a stay at home mom for 5 years. How long does all that food last in the fridge? (Especially the egg bites and the chicken) I would love to start meal prepping for my family but I’m always hesitant because after 3 days in the fridge I throw the food away thinking it’s not safe to eat.

[@Jen-Chapin]

I keep cooked meat and eggs for 5 days no problem.

[@magrod4857]

Thank u so much for getting back to me! I really appreciate it! My first day back at work is next Monday so I will definitely start meal prepping this weekend 😁

[@Jen-Chapin]

Good luck Maggie! You will do great! 😘

[@nickiegray2675]

those egg bites are the bomb.com, easy and on the go. Love it xoxo

[@TheNaty86]

I love this vlog!!! Your big fan from Croatia! Power team no make up!! 🙊🙊💪💪💪💪

[@Jen-Chapin]

Haha thank you!

[@sofiajohansson6481]

How many carbs in those cupcakes?

[@Jen-Chapin]

I calculated around 14

[@fleur2997]

I love how the dog was like; Me want some chickie too? and then you threw him some🙈

[@Jesspaselli]

You make me want to get coooooking and prepping

[@SabineSquared]

I think the visible dirt coming off the produce is actually nothing compared to the invisible pesticides 😬

[@fueledbyJesusandCoffee]

i need you peeling my eggs. lol.. i hate doing them

[@TerTerH78]

My husband and I just started the keto diet yesterday. We found your channel while searching for meals. I am mesmerized by your prepping! How did you get interested in prepping? Love your channel.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you Terry! I have always loved cooking 😀

[@nerisah_xo]

You should use a spatula! Don't let anything go to waste 😭

[@angelamarusa]

Hi Jenn! Fairly new subscriber, but love to watch your videos! If/When you are ready to add carbs back into your life, you could look into Trim Healthy Mama. They really do a great job in living a lower glycemic lifestyle, which by watching your videos, you kind of already do! Just a thought! Keep the videos coming!

[@crystalburks2745]

I finally got around to making those egg cups today!! 😳. They are delicious 😋 and I can’t wait for my hubby to try them. I was even out of cottage cheese and subbed sour cream..will definitely be a staple in our home! 🙂 Thanks!

[@KellyeR1970]

I really need some chickens, I go through a box of 18 eggs every other day. And a lifetime supply of hravy wipping cream. I'd be set..... Lol the keto life!! Oh and and about 10 pounds of bacon per week. Can't forget the bacon ,my husband says every night when he gets home it smells like a maple syrup factory. Lol

[@Jen-Chapin]

Lol!! We go through a lot of eggs too!

[@nerisah_xo]

Do you ever rinse your chicken?

[@sarahhadasandwich]

If you take the grapes and gently roll them between your hands they’ll come off the stem very easily

[@SabineSquared]

Ooh that was me commenting that you don’t necessarily need to blend the egg bites. And now I shall stop spamming your comments section 😂😂

[@krystaljackson4063]

I thought about that too! But I would use double the amount of eggs. I have a mini silicone cupcake pan. And it makes 12 cupcakes. I could just crack one egg into each spot but when I crack them into a bowl and mix, I only need 6 eggs!

[@SabineSquared]

Krystal Jackson oh so I am still mixing it up but just with a fork not with a blender. Slightly less cleaning up. But the texture is not quite as fine and fluffy

[@1207susant]

👍👍👍

[@laurielyon1892]

Look up Cooking Keto with Kristie here on KZbin. She has many recipes for muffins and many other things. She also has some wonderful cookbooks

[@mammiebarry6171]

Ha😳

[@Randilynn66]

Does your daughter have any desire to help you in the kitchen

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yes she loves to cook!

[@Randilynn66]

Maybe you can talk her into helping with the grapes. LOL

[@Jen-Chapin]

That is a good idea!

[@bellepepperxx]

Left over bacon? What's that? 🤣

[@donnanorris2939]

There are only three substances that the human digestive system recognizes as food in this world: amino acids (proteins), lipids (fats), and carbs. But there is a MAJOR difference between complex carbs, (like whole wheat, whole grains, apples, applesauce, wheat germ, AND ALL VEGGIES!!), which are very good and healthy, and simple carbs which is like white sugar and white bread. Guess what? If a particular food has no protein in it, and has no fat in it, then guess which food it DOES have in it? (First to guesses don’t count.). 👍❤️😉😏 Complex carbs are VERY good for you. (So don’t let “carbs” scare you! There are carbs even in veggie salads. {If it’s not a protein, and not a fat, THEN it IS a carb!} But complex carbs is what you want more of than simple carbs. Not ALL carbs are “bad!” ~*~ (FYI: Almond flour still has some carbs. Nuts also have SOME proteins in them, too.) There are 14 (chemically different types) of amino acids (proteins), but plant-based proteins do NOT come in all 14 versions. (Some ONLY come from animal sources.). And yet the body NEEDS all 14 to be optimally healthy. This is why they are considered (by doctors & professional nutritionists) as being “INCOMPLETE” proteins, unless you COMBINE them with OTHER certain foods WITH them, like having rice or tortillas or breads with legumes (beans.) ~*~^~*~ You’re little boxes and packs look really healthy & yummy & cute. 👍😉❤️ How long do they store in the fridge before they start to go bad??

[@Jen-Chapin]

I’m not sure because we eat them too fast lol! I would say 5 days if they have eggs in them.

[@donnanorris2939]

Just remember, complex carbs are (very healthy) very different from simple carbs. Complex carbs ALSO have NECESSARY soluble dietary roughage, which keeps your colon healthy and working correctly, which keeps you from needing colorectal surgery! 😲💩

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yes! This is why I want to start adding back in :)

[@Bih1stOfAll]

I just have to wash my meat off b4 cooking....I know they "say" u shouldn't...but I clean my counters off with bleach anyway... It may be a cultural thing...but I love watching your meal prep...you've given me pretty good ideas🤗

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you so much!
