This chapter of Katy is so full of life and love. Here for it 👏🏼

[@smoothielover07]

Katy, you've been doing such a great job keeping up with the vlogging as of late...keep it up! So happy for you in this chapter of life! ☕

[@HelloKatyxo]

Aw thank you love!!

[@lovealwaysemma]

Katie, as someone who cooks almost every meal at home, it is AMAZING that you are trying the stew! It is all about starting somewhere and getting more comfortable in the kitchen. It is so fulfilling to use your hands to make a nourishing meal to feed the people that you *love* (now that the L word has been dropped)! It looked so delicious too!

[@jamiepaisley]

Yay for a Jack cameo, he seems so nice!!

[@Elliebelle171]

Katy, I remember being in your shoes learning to cook with a crockpot. I now love to cook and cook all sorts of things every night just a few years later. This made me smile with how meticulous you were about every detail -- no eyerolling here. You've got this! I'm sure you'll learn to make many delicious meals with your new crock pot.

[@ellynrebecca621]

As a fellow Brit 🇬🇧, I wonder how Jack felt about eating a stew or what some of us might call a casserole with a scone! Or a biscuit as you would say! 😂 One of my favourite memories of visiting the US was our surprise when we were offered biscuits for the table (what cookies are for us) and they came back with a basket of scones 😂

[@lilyjean95]

love your cooking journey katy! another tip-get an air fryer so you can easily cook salmon/steak/chicken! seriously a life saver for us lazy girls. excited to see what you’ll whip up next! 👩‍🍳

[@AlliesBeautyTips]

You know someone is doing good when they’ve survived on take out for years in New York 😅

[@tarazanni9370]

Stop your bf is adorable and you’re so giddy around him!! 🥺

[@HelloKatyxo]

[@Lea-py1qq]

Every Tuesday morning here in Europe it is me, my breakfast, coffee, and this vlog of Katy enjoying her life in NYC! I love it.

[@Rach.907]

Congrats on your first slow cooker! I started using one after I got married (it was a wedding gift) and now as a stay-at-home mom who cooks dinner almost everyday I definitely enjoy when I can just whip out the crockpot and not have to think about it for the rest of the day. We just got our first real snowfall yesterday, so I put your mom's recipe on my meal plan for this week!

[@mai_lalala]

The vlog was so cozy and I loved it🩷 I’ve been enjoying your monday uploads!!!

[@binishamaharjan418]

I am living for these crock pot recipes!! I’ve honestly never have cooked anything in a crock pot before so I am really excited!😊😌

[@TheBeatlesToday]

I love you sneaking in Christmas jazz in the background while shopping at C&B 😁🎄

[@AlliesBeautyTips]

Also thank you so much for taking us out of the apartment! It’s lovely to see the city

[@alysseparris2850]

Your confidence & self talk in this video is so admirable! Trying something new is daunting & so many people let fear of failure stop them from picking up a new hobby, trying a new recipe, etc. Anyone who is eye rolling at you for beginning your cooking journey is just insecure!

[@joycarroll7545]

Yes, I've cooked most of my life, but please know that we are proud of you and not an eye roll at all. So many easy recipes and great for meal prep. Cooking stew or etc is laborious, if you freeze in servings, then you get to enjoy for months etc. We love you and are so very proud of you!!!!!

[@lindseyann1372]

Your vlogs really portray how happy and content you are with life and it makes me so so happy for you. I’ve been loving witnessing this chapter in your life. 🤍

[@madisontardi1301]

I look forward to your podcast and vlogs every week 💘

[@onestrangeboat]

Yay! This is exactly what I needed for my cozy afternoon! Thanks Katy! Excited to witness your crockpot girly era!

[@HelloKatyxo]

You're the sweetest!! More to come :) XO

[@xolizahbeauty]

I simply cannot get over how adorable this is. Imagine your mom watching this proudly!

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Love that you’re posting weekly 💛💛

[@telizabethxo]

Okay so I became a crockpot girly last year and I agree as a previous non cook this helped me so much. Recently I made up this chili recipe and it’s so good so I am going to share it with you below. The spices are kind of a guess so feel free to add more or less to your hearts desire. Taryn’s Fall Chili Recipe: Ingredients: * 1 lb Ground Beef, Browned with some garlic onions salt and pepper. * 1 can diced tomatoes * 1 can pumpkin * 1 small can green chilis * 1 can cannellini beans ( could sub another bean of choice) * 1 1/2-2 tablespoons chili powder * 1 1/2-2 tablespoons Pumpkin Pie Spice * 1/2-1 tablespoons of allspice * Sprinkle of cayenne (optional if you want more spice) * 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar * 1-2 cups chopped veggies ( optional, carrots, Trader Joe’s thanksgiving hash or whatever else you want) * 1-2 cups waters (I add this for texture so depends on how liquid or non liquid you want your chili) * Shredded cheese of choice (for topping) * Sour Cream (for topping) * Tortilla Chips (for topping. I recommend fall leaf tortilla chips for an aesthetic look) Instructions 1. Brown the ground beef and then add to the crockpot. 2. Add all the canned ingredients and spices. Stir together and then add water to your desired consistency. 3. Cook for about 4 hours on high. (Also could probably do 8 hours on low) 4. Serve in a bowl, topped with desired amount of Cheese, Sour Cream and chips.

[@ozatanvi]

Katy, your vlogging game is on point lately! 🎥✨ Life's treating you well, and I'm loving the journey with you. Sending lots of love from across the globe, all the way from India! ☕❤🇮🇳 Keep slaying, girl! 😄

[@evevelaz9923]

I love making shredded chicken in the crock pot!! I literally put chicken breast in there and pour salsa jar over it and once it’s ready it shreds so easy with just two forks and perfect to serve in tacos for taco Tuesday 🌮

[@JessDelRey]

This vlog was giving “you’ve got mail” cozy fall romcom vibes. I loved it. Also you looked so chic in the end with the black dress and side part.

[@Dalelinews]

“I wasn’t sure how to spell ladle” - tell me you don’t cook without telling me you don’t cook!! Haha I love this new learning era for you, gorgeous gorgeous girls love soup season ❤

[@elisabethmary]

Lovely end to my Monday ❤

[@WILDANDWATSON]

my family's chili recipe is SO easy and SO good -- you just brown a pound of beef or whatever meat you like, add a chopped onion, 2 cans of chili beans & a packet of chili seasoning. :) I make it every week in the fall/winter since its so easy and yummy! in the midwest we eat it with cornbread or cinnamon rolls on the side, haha. soup season is the best!

[@brittneypierri1140]

My favorite crock pot recipe is a shredded taco chicken situation. I take a roughly 1.5lbs of chicken breasts, half a jar of salsa, and a packet of taco seasoning and cook that on high for 3-4 hours. In the final hour, I start to shred the chicken a bit and add In about 1/2 cup of quinoa to cook into it, and there you have it! I love it with just some cheddar and sour cream on top.

[@veeoh6493]

You had to buy salt and pepper for this? Is this your first time ever cooking?

[@ellenhess9126]

Take a shot every time Katy says stew in this vlog. Actually don’t- you’ll die. 😂 I say it with love! It’s great you’re learning and growing!

[@WLK668]

I love using a slow cooker makes life so easy. I would suggest getting a cook book for slow cookers and just making one recipe at a time.

[@supermanfan3806]

Love your channel lots Katy you always make me smile and always brighten up my day you will always be my favourite KZbinr and my inspiration hope you have a beautiful week where did you get your puffer jacket from ❤❤❤

[@BalancedLightYoga]

so wholesome. happy for you ❤

[@BalancedLightYoga]

not happy that you’re wholesome hahah happy that you seem so happy!

[@victoriacestodio348]

Love your vlogs Katy ❤

[@melamelia95]

The way you casually walked past Cornelia Street! I think I'd stop and admire every time haha

[@ElleNoel23]

Girrrrlll get you some crock pot liners from the grocery store. Life changing.

[@SCHgirl123]

you might want to consider getting a silicon or wooden ladle, the metal spoon can scratch/damage the crockpot enamel

[@madalynduhm2597]

Literally was cooking a stew when I turned your video on haha

[@CarolineBloomer97]

A super easy crockpot recipe is “Salsa Chicken”- spray crockpot with oil, add about 1.5 to 2 pounds of chicken breast in and sprinkle taco seasoning then pour a jar of your favorite salsa on top. Cook low for 6-8 hours or on high for 2-3. The chicken will shred once it’s all cooked and it’s so good over a bed of rice or add it into tortillas! ❤️

[@kayflip2233]

I always love to watch how transplants live in NYC.

[@viviannacarter]

An extra lazy girl hack is using baby carrots so you don’t have to peel and chop! You’re doing great, it’s definitely hard to cook for one person. Can’t wait to give this recipe a try ♥️

[@HelloKatyxo]

OMG I love this tip. Thank you!!

[@stephaniegarcia9705]

Personal recommendation are crockpot bags that way you don't have to soak and scrub your bot when you are done and can just throw away.

[@mycomplicatedlife2488]

There are also crockpot liners you can get.

[@Lexi_333]

The light is going to look so good in that corner! Loved the vlog as always 🤍

[@BalancedLightYoga]

and am I obsessed with jack and you from one cameo? yes. yes I am lol

[@jordanphillips8007]

Also crockpots are great it’s nearly impossible for it to fail, it’s like a magic cauldron

[@HelloKatyxo]

MAGIC CAULDRON! I love that!

[@hannahperkoengel]

I got a soup ladle for the first time the other day too!! 😂

[@prachi1869]

Hi Which Jo Malone perfume do you use? I am unable to find the video where you shared the fragrance

[@leahNZ]

I haven’t even tasted but I give you a 10/10 fro effort!

[@HeyitsDeirdre]

I love beef stew my parents use to make it

[@cutiepie1553]

I am obsessed with the cooking content… please do more!! ❤️❤️

[@Akirameowxp]

Congrats on your stew! Looking forward to this new era of yours! 🫶🏽💕 and Jack’s right, there’s always room for improvement, not only in cooking but in life!

[@dianel7303]

[@donna8264]

[@kayleighlara5696]

Love seeing you master the crockpot😂✨I felt the same when I started!

[@Maria-bi9kg]

Katy, I feel so happy for you!❤️

[@girlyshannon101]

Beef stew looked so good!! Gonna make some soon in my crockpot love your vlogs! ❤😊

[@pennijones1192]

Search for a lemon garlic chicken and potatoes dish for the crock pot. Lots of them and all are good.

[@HelloKatyxo]

YUM!

[@ArcadiasAngel]

Love jacks accent

[@MsJessLouise]

I’m so proud of your cooking journey! I love my slow cooker as a mum it’s the best thing ever . But excuse me did that ladle say $29!!!!!!! Um. WHAT

[@alysseparris2850]

Re: the wooden cutting board- The dishwasher can damage your cutting board! Hand washing is recommended!

[@donnameadows4583]

Would an apartment with an in-apartment washer/dryer be a lot more expensive?

[@SL-xw4sf]

Yes in NYC

[@LaverlyLove]

He has a british accent?! Hahah love it Katy!

[@HelloKatyxo]

Yes! He's from England!

[@colz83]

He's British. That's why he's Prince Harry.

[@saramassey3540]

When you watch these later, you’ll notice how much you’re growing up! I love how you said laundry never stops… The dishes never stop if you start cooking! Love your videos, and loving, watching you grow up in the big city

[@HelloKatyxo]

Aw this is so sweet!!

[@RobertMani]

Your beef stew in the crockpot looks so delicious!

[@Billy33753]

Love nyc

[@ayanaismusic]

make chicken & dumplings in the crockpot

[@mallorymcmanus4185]

A good crockpot appetizer is ground beef, Mexican velveeta cheese, and a can or two of rotel - all cooked and mixed together is such a good dip for a party!

[@saranoel4148]

Katy I’m not even kidding I legit bought a crockpot after your birthday vlog and I’ve already made 4 recipes I’m fully in my crocky lady phase thank you for inspiring ily
