I really enjoyed this video. I also am loving that you seem much happier.

[@amandaturner5253]

I miss your hang in the kitchen videos too...sometimes i just watch the old ones when im thinking about your videos!

[@TammyCox-fl5oz]

I’ve been watching your channel for a long time. I love your videos and have learned a lot from you. I enjoy your cooking videos.🙂

[@poketographyyy]

You’re spoiling us! As someone on the go for my job, I’m loving the ideas this video (and your others like it) give me for meals on the quick. Travel or for work. The casual, laid-back format is perfect, by the way. No one’s perfect and to see you show us how to be productive even when things are crazy is super motivational. 💪 Thanks for another great video in the Chapin-verse!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you ❤

[@MelissaRey]

This is great for Saturdays when I’m on the field for sons games all day.

[@AnaLucia262]

I loved this video also, I can't wait to see how it went. Eating out is nice, but sometimes you just want to eat your own food, especially when you are not with your loved ones. 💕

[@NadiaxG92]

Your meal preps are the only ones I trust ❤😂

[@bonnierogers4922]

I miss these videos too! Love kitchen time with Jen❤️

[@randijohnson3806]

My husband is a commercial pilot and packing meals is tough. Something you might find helpful is packing an old school ice pack bag and freezing it solid, then you can fill it up with ice at the hotel for the rest of your travel. (Note, I believe it has to be frozen solid when going through security.)

[@Jen-Chapin]

I think you are right, that’s a great idea!😊

[@easyfrenchdiet]

Yes I can relate. I also travel a bit for my work and I find it very difficult to eat properly without spending too much. I often go to the local supermarket and stock up in the mini bar. Thanks for these ideas!

[@BarbaraThompson-pq8gr]

Excellent video Jen. Well done

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

What I love about farmers markets is that I can get different varieties of garlic or other veggies than you get at a supermarket, you can get heirloom varieties. Yes, it is moire expensive but the beauty of the veggies is so much better. This week is Farmers Market week at the supermarket I work at and the tomatoes are so boring - yes, are they Jersey tomatoes? Yes, but they are all the same variety, just huge regular tomatoes. Why don’t they have heirloom varieties in different colors and shapes?? Same with broccoli or peppers. That is the reason to go to the farmers market, also you are spending your money with small farmers who need the money to stay alive. Last week I went to the farmers market in Hackettstown, NJ (20 min from my house) and I got sweet potato leaves! They taste a little less strong than spinach but they cook the same way. I also got jowl bacon from a small farm here in NJ. So different from normal bacon. Yes, it was $4 more than a supermarket brand but it was so different and delicious. You can’t get either of those at the supermarket. Use your local producers! Well worth it.

[@snwbnnyinoz]

Whenever we travel we try to book a hotel that has a fridge and microwave. Plus try to get one that includes breakfast. We recently did this on a trip to NYC. Saved us hundreds of dollars for the 4 of us.

[@Rosie-mz4bx]

I really liked this casual content. Simple but yummy meals you made.🤗

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Great video…so smart to bring your own food! 😊

[@hannahkayee831]

Glad to see you again Jen! Can't believe the ages of your kids sometimes!! Been keeping up with you for a long time. My daughter is 10 almost 11. You are a great mom.

[@michellefitz4287]

So helpful and inspiring. This is perfect for school box lunch ideas too!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Totally!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Another Jen Chapin video, yes,please!!

[@tammifields4142]

Thanks for sharing Jen!🫶🫶

[@b3thamphetamine]

I think that your food is going to hold up just fine. I think you said you were thinking of putting your cooler into your checked bag, but I'm not totally sure. If that's the case it'll definitely be fine for a two hour flight. It gets so cold in the cargo area.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Great point!

[@catherinefreese9310]

Oh my goodness, I love this! I have dietary restrictions that make eating out a pain when I travel, so I have to try and bring stuff with me. I usually just bring some protein powder, but this is way better. Great ideas, thank you.

[@barbarajohnson83]

Great video Jen, thanks for sharing and have a great work trip.❤️

[@cherylsuds7882]

Happy Travels Jen!!!💕🇨🇦👍🐶

[@ggstrauss]

I looooveee wildgrain! Everything from them has been amazing!

[@hardenmama1800]

Yum! Thanks for sharing.

[@christinecannon7758]

Thanks for sharing!

[@cathyfeigert5660]

Can I come over? These look delicious! Thanks for sharing Jen!

[@susantaulli6580]

I see a vegetable garden in Jen’s future😂

[@Jen-Chapin]

I want one!! Haha

[@shavonnasimington5099]

Your Awesome Jen ❤thx for your videos

[@joannemott71]

Hey 👋 Jen this was a great idea. Why didn’t you think of this sooner, just kidding of course lol 😂. This will not only cut your food costs down but it’s delicious homemade food yummy 😋. I can’t wait to see how everything worked out. The fact it was only a two hour flight you had it made. See ya soon 🤗🇨🇦

[@penelopepitstop4440]

Love the video Jen. It was fun to just hang out and chill with you. Love and hugs from Texas 💕

[@gailluker4875]

Hello Jen These facto meals would be just the thing I need to save time however we have hypertension so I was wondering about how much sodium is in the meals ? Thanks so much!

[@Jen-Chapin]

I’m not sure off the top of my head, but I know from eating them that I often have to add salt so I don’t think they are super salty!

[@AprilLee1996]

Jen, the places that don't have a microwave in the room might have them in the lobby or breakfast room! You could call ahead and ask so you can take your factor meals ❤ awesome video!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Great idea!!

[@tammymyer5347]

Girlfriend, you work your butt off and I’m sure work pays you to travel. You don’t need to pack food to take with you as an extra step. Go on in order that $30 burrito!!!! 😊

[@tammifields4142]

☺️☺️

[@carmarasmussen8118]

A $30 burrito is highway robbery no matter how much money she is making. 😮

[@Jen-Chapin]

I definitely do, but the money our company gives us for food doesn’t always cover the whole day unfortunately!

[@cherylsklar6640]

I'm a retired federal employee, and I did this all the time when traveling. If possible, we would make a stop at a grocery store. We got a set amount of money by location regardless of what the available meals cost.

[@joannemott71]

I think with the amount of travel that Jen does she must get sick of eating out. I know I would specially if it’s more than two days. The other benefit of doing this is being able to come back to your hotel room and not have to leave lol specially after a long day. Just my opinion as long as the food is good 👍.

[@janetdwyer1867]

Amazing foods great idears❤

[@leighdegenhardt485]

Loved the video!!! I needed some new ideas!!! It's too dang hot to cook! Lol! Get some rest! Have a great week!

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Thank you!

[@AnnMurphy-db8oq]

Enjoyed xx

[@lorieisenbarth1359]

Yay!!! Another video Love your videos and now I'm so hungry. I need to prepare some of those for my Season opener of my KC CHIEFS!!!!!!!!! SORRY I LOVE MY TEAM ❤🏈🏈

[@vi9763]

I prefer the more casual videos 😊

[@Afikoman62]

Next time do a pumpernickel bagel with scallion cream cheese. The everything bagel and scallion cc is overkill and your breath will be over powered 😂

[@Jen-Chapin]

I’ve never seen pumpernickel bagels in the store where I live! I’ll have to hunt them down 😊

[@mrs.n.7314]

❤

[@kristinj7173]

If taking food as a carry-on on a plane, be prepared to have your cooler packs confiscated by TSA…it happens! (I lost mine)

[@TastingParty]

A bit of a warning about Factor: my experience is the food is delicious but on more than one occasion, my order was short a meal or 2 with not notification as to why. I didn’t notice a credit to my account because of the items that didn’t ship so I called, they said they ran out of the item I selected. They then offered a credit to my account but I requested a refund. So if you are shorted in your order make sure to contact them. Oh, and one more thing, make sure all your items are completely sealed. I requested refunds for items received that were not sealed. While I loved the food, it was a bit of a pain so I cancel my future orders.

[@jenniferbarbosa1521]

Do the factor meals come frozen? Or can you freeze them?

[@RAM-eb2te]

❤❤❤

[@AmySimmonds-luv4Jesus]

Great ideas Jen. You made it through TSA without any issues?

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yes! I checked the bag with the cooler in it so no issue

[@Tanya-ce3fv]

Do you not get meal per diems when you travel for work?

[@Jen-Chapin]

I do but sometimes it isn’t enough to cover the whole day

[@joyceclark8163]

Jen,are you starting to feel short of breath again? Only asking because you sound a little short of breath during this video..which by the way is great as usual!! Always well thought out and presented well❤

[@Jen-Chapin]

Thank you. I am quite anemic and sometimes get SOB because my red blood cell count is so low 😢

[@joyceclark8163]

@Jen-Chapin I know that..from your other videos and we had a conversation about it previously..I just want you to take care of yourself...just incase you hadn't noticed it...because before you were diagnosed with the anemia..then you realized that you had been short of breath...just didn't want it sneaking up on you again..Jen, I know we aren't friends in real life but I view you as a friend and I care about you as a friend and highly respect you and only want the best for you always ❤️

[@Jen-Chapin]

@@joyceclark8163thank you! I’m trying to fight with my doctors and insurance to get an iron infusion ❤

[@liteicedcoffee]

​@@Jen-ChapinAssuming you have all the documentation from your doctor to show the infusion is necessary, you may consider going forward with the infusion and appealing the denial of coverage to the Iowa Insurance Division. It's a bit of a gamble, and check to make sure you have a qualified insurance plan, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease. You deserve to feel better!

[@joyceclark8163]

@Jen-Chapin that is awlful...I have worked in the same business as you since 1981..things have changed so much..long time back .(I had to quit my job in 2016 due to a cervical spine injury)...used to be what ever the doctor said ...it was covered by insurance..no questions asked..I also don't understand why in the world the doctors wouldn't be able to see that such treatment wasn't necessary..🤬🤬🤬 I wish you luck...and I will also pray for you..Jen, be blessed always 🙌
