I have never made chicken parmesan or beef stew. But after watching your video with my 3 year old and 1 year old and listening to them say yum and mommy that looks good I think I'm gonna give it a shot 😊. I just love watching your videos! They're like talking to a friend about meal ideas. Thanks so much!!

[@KristinStepp]

Aw thank you so much!! Those were definitely the top 2 recipes in the video, you can do it! ❤️

[@krismiskarol]

Hearing the reactions of your babies warms my heart!! I love kids with more advanced palettes/open minds makes cooking for them 10x more fun! Lol

[@Caitlin1928]

I've been liking having Chicken Parmesan in the freezer so I can pull it out whenever I'm in the mood for it (which is a lot lately for whatever reason). The last time I made it, I decided to skip the frying process and cook it fully in the oven. It still turned out great, but the taste from frying is missed, in my opinion.

[@brianaperez8326]

For the hand pies you can also use biscuits or dinner roll dough 😋 I made some ham and cheese for the hubbs using a dinner roll recipe

[@joleenshepherd2090]

Every meal we have tried of yours is a new family fav your meals are so great x

[@paigelarson9279]

I made the smothered burritos for tea tonight and they were incredible!! Thank you!

[@FreedomWright123]

Absolutely perfect timing. I I’m going grocery shopping tomorrow and have been looking for some new recipes to try. The chicken parm & smothered burritos are a must try. I can’t wait to try those recipes out. I’m a single parent and i love watching your videos for some new ideas. Thank you for sharing!!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! I think you’ll love those recipes. 🥰

[@theshaterrell8148]

Thanks so much i made 2 of ofthe meals this week i was looking for something new to feed my family

[@Jamhands9]

Oh definitely going to make those burritos! My son is a huge fan of these simple Mexican enchiladas I make, but I love the beans added to this for more protein and some veg.

[@aliceschmid9697]

I am going to make ALL of these dishes!!! Thank you,!!

[@susanb5058]

Kristin your family is so lucky to have you cooking all of these beautiful dinners for them, and made with such love! Everything looked yummy (burritos my fave)! 😋

Always watching from Scotland.... I've tried some of your recipes and they taste as good as they look but tbh I just find your videos relaxing to watch 🤣

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

These were some great recipes! Thanks.

[@lilig4396]

Thank you for the smothered burrito recipe, so easy, I've been cheating using the pre-made bean cheese ones and the kids add crumbled tortilla chips, sour cream and guac when done

[@Jamhands9]

I make Swiss chicken, but it uses stuffing mix for the top (just dry) and then you add melted butter on top. We don’t like Swiss so I do provolone cheese. It’s sooo good!

[@mssandybeach1]

Everything looks soo yummy! I can't wait to try them all except maybe the pizza pies... Thanks for sharing!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@neonblueconverse3]

These meals look AMAZING! I am so glad I am grocery shopping today! I've gotta find those tortillas they do look so good

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much! I hope you can find them, they are a game changer!

What a great way to kick off 2023! Girl all of these look delicious!! Especially that chicken parm! 😋😋

[@tdawna]

Pro tip: Never cook with wine you wouldn’t drink. Even if you’re not a red wine drinker, using a decent table red (doesn’t have to be expensive) instead of cooking wine will impart much better taste. 🍷

[@KristinStepp]

Thanks for the tip! I don’t drink wine so I’m not really sure what to get.

[@tdawna]

@@KristinStepp A Burgundy or Merlot would be good for beef stew.

[@MsAnneMargaret]

I was thinking this same thing , that cooking wine is horrid.

[@ceciliadominguez8250]

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@charleatawilliams-stokes3571]

I always enjoy your videos. You inspire me to get in my own kitchen more often. You are so right! Dutch ovens tend to get VERY HOT! I use an oil with a higher smoke point when I am cooking in cast iron. Maybe that will help with your "situation" (I loved the way you said it lol) next time you are searing meat in yours. Thank you for sharing your heart, in the kitchen, with all of us. I appreciate you ❤️

[@dyergirl15]

[@karlanorris5512]

Love the video. I like how quickly you show so many recipes and how you might change the recipe. For the wings which we love I got tired of buying wings and feeling like I worked so hard to not get much meat to eat. Now I cook chicken legs the same way you do and we like them better then buying wings. Have a great day. I bought the tortillas you mentioned can’t wait to try.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much! Yes I know what you mean, that’s a big reason I don’t make them often. Legs is a great idea! I hope you love the tortillas as much as us. ❤️

Delicious recipes. Enjoyed.

[@KristinStepp]

[@froggy0165]

If you season your chicken before you pound it, you can get just a lil more flavor into them! I always add some kind of garlic into my flour mixture, usually it's kinders salt, garlic, pepper mix

I find it very convenient to throw my garlics into a food processor, cube them in an ice tray, and pop them out to store them in a freezer bag. Just use how many cubes I need each time I cook.

[@hello-vs4me]

I have a garlic press chopper. It comes w 3 different blades and the garlic goes into a little container. I like it so much better than the traditional one I had

[@tammifields4142]

Kristin I Really enjoy your content!💯 The meals you've prepared look Absolutely DELICIOUS!!😋 Beef stew 🍲looked Very Tasty!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!!

[@cynrok]

i love my garlic press but i only use it when i have a lot of garlic to chop. you're definitely right it's a waste for just one or two cloves. it leaves behind a fair amount of fiber but when you're doing clove after clove after clove it all gets in there eventually, though you do have to scrape it when you're done to get all that's left behind.

I already planned on making chicken parm this week but I think I’ll try the recipe in your video for it!

[@KristinStepp]

It really was spot on ❤️

[@Whoissharapodcast]

I never thought to use croutons like bread crumbs. That’s genius 😊

[@bonniepwtf]

Those burritos looked so easy and I've been craving them so tonight's the night.😊 I agree with you about the garlic press being wasteful, I went back to chopping it up by hand & I like the texture better too.🧄 Hope you have a great weekend with your family. 💟

[@KristinStepp]

Enjoy! Thank you, I hope you do too!

[@akariprince]

I personally like using a microplane. It's not as chunky but it is fast and really allows the garlic to release all it's flavors.

[@bonniepwtf]

@@akariprince I haven't tried that yet, thanks.

[@nrmmom]

Gonna try that chicken Parm technique tonight I normally don't put sauce on the bottom and I broil the chicken so the cheese gets golden brown. Chicken Parm is my husband's favorite so I am always up for trying new ways to make it

[@elainemiller47]

Loved the food!

[@sarahsimons3035]

The best garlic press I’ve ever used is from Pampered Chef. It is so worth it to buy one.

Get a pull chop for the garlic. They are so fast and are dishwasher safe. They are small for easy storage.

[@LindaHansen1980]

I never liked cooking with garlic because of the fuss with cleaninf the press. Then I bought a microplane and now I put garlic in almost everything 🙂 just rinse it after use. So easy.

Thank you! I’ll have to try that.

[@SiriusHeka]

One tip or easy trick I do for beef stew- make a big roast in the slow cooker w carrots and potatoes- then the next day I use the left overs to make quick fast and delicious beef stew. It’s so easy- the only thing you really have to cut up is the leftover roast- make a quick gravy with the juices and it seriously makes the best and delicious beef stew ever. Fast and simple and beats having just “leftover roast and veggies” the next day. I also live in Kentucky and love your channel!

[@KristinStepp]

Great idea! & thank you!! 💙

[@ellalujano2232]

You should try carne guisada! It's a really popular burrito filling here in Texas. It's a Mexican beef stew, and it's a favorite in my house.

Hey there 👋 Been following you for about a month now, and am watching from Denmark 🇩🇰 Love watching your videos, so many good ideas for dinners 😊👍 I made your beef stew tonight for dinner, something that I have wanted to try for sooo long. I made it tonight and shared with my sister and niece and it was DELICIOUS 😋 My sister usually doesn't like potatoes but she loved these in the stew since they soaked up a lot of flavor during the cooking. Definitely not the last time I make this 🤩

[@KristinStepp]

[@iidifferentworlds]

You could try out some garlic puree/paste instead of mincing it. I switched to that and it's such a time/mess saver
