[@lauradennis6985]

I love that you tell us when things don’t go over well with your family or are not what you expected.

[@BlackandDeckerPeckerWrecker]

Yes! Keepin' it real! 😁

[@MarthaHoward-x4i]

You make Kentucky proud with your creativity, imagination, attention to budget, attention to the likes of every person for whom you’re cooking, tips for the great ways you pack your family members’ individual meals while taking into consideration what each person is doing that day, and likely some stuff l haven’t thought of… thank you for all of the above 🙂❤

[@Sirid123]

Hi Kristin ❤ I'm currently at the hospital after a succesfull hip replacement surgery. Your videos really cheer me up and i've been following you for the past 4 years. Please keep up the great work.😊

[@KristinStepp]

Hey!! Thank you so much for the support all this time, I really appreciate it. I’m happy I can help cheer you up, comments like these cheer me up. I hope you recover quickly! I’m glad it went good. ❤️❤️

[@Nikki-su3md]

I have to say the last time you made the Boursin chops I made it and it was an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER!!!! Never Will make chops the original way again!!! Between this and million dollar chops these are def my new favorite way to make them chicken is delicious these ways to!!! Everyone NEEDS TO TRY IT!!!!

[@paulaavallone7258]

The beans and sauce mix for the “pizza sauce” is GENIUS!!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

I just said a prayer for you and everyone in the path of the severe weather this afternoon and evening. Adding these to my Kristin folder. Stay safe, friend.

[@KristinStepp]

You’re the sweetest & a great friend! Thank you, I’m praying everyone stays safe also. ❤️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@KristinStepp thank you, friend. I just worry about my favorite KZbinr's. I'm in Southwest Tennessee. You're welcome.

I cooked the taco pizza tonight for my family. It was delicious and easy! I’m going to try the other recipes. Thank you Kristin!!!

[@courtneybashamfranklin9193]

Thank you for sharing these! Im from Indiana & we have Grippos here too! Love them.

[@paulaavallone7258]

When I tell the kids, all teens, that we have a new recipe on deck…they say “Kristin posted a new video huh?” 😂😂😂

[@KristinStepp]

Haha I love it!!

[@ramirorangel4365]

Omg I would definitely be happy coming home to this after working 12hrs

[@nargiskhan9472]

I love watching all your videos. Great recipes for quick and tasty meal ideas.

[@FaithfulFinds2024]

You are my all time favorite KZbinr. We need a Kristin Stepp Cookbook❤️

[@jessicablack9232]

Evansville, IN has Grippos and Ski! We love them both! That chicken looks amazing 👏

[@PixiedustJ]

I’m a picky eater but love your videos. For a twist on corn on the cob…cook in a crockpot in 1 can coconut milk, water and butter. Comes out super sweet. Couple hours on high.

[@homeschoolteenswithjenny]

Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas are a STAPLE in our house! SO GOOD! I do adjust the honey and lime amounts... we lessen the honey.

[@JeepsySoul]

I’m from Ohio and have never heard of Ohio casserole or Jailhouse rice but I’d be willing to try it! Grippos and Uncle Charlie’s pork chops are the best hands down and local. Griddpos is definitely a flavor you just have to experience 😊

[@jaynebennett3401]

Love Grippos chips, we get them in Indiana as well, definitely trying the tender recipe. As for the Ohio casserole, it sounds intriguing,I just may give that one a try as well! Stay safe!

[@aliciarosevideos]

I live in Ohio and have never ever heard of that rice! It sure doesn't look great but I like all the ingredients so you gave me the confidence to give it a shot.

[@mamachicken1548]

Everything looked delicious!! I used to make that chef boyardee pizza for me and my daughter back in the 80s. I used to make it like a pan pizza in an iron skillet in the oven.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! I need to try it like that.

[@yoncbwl2738]

The chips were a little high on Amazon, but the seasoning was fairly priced. Waiting for it to arrive! Happy Mother's Day Kristin! Thank you for the inspiration!!!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!! & I hope you enjoy 💕

[@ALCOidalonic]

Love your videos even in the UK I get inspiration to adapt things 😁 Thank you Kristen, so calming and caring 💕 🙏 Blessings to you and your family x

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!!

[@apeeples22]

Yes Grippos are a Kentucky staple lol most of my family members who have moved outside ok Kentucky always stock up on Gripos and BiG Red when they come back to visit.

[@Serenitie3]

I feel like the grippos blended fine then sifted with flour and corn starch would be a hit.

[@paulaavallone7258]

I was thinking the same thing!😅

[@janicecordy7425]

Hi. Celery suggestion. I'm the same way, not a fan of crunchy celery. I will boil it with my eggs so it's softer. I like the flavor, not the crunch. Lol. Also try celery seed. That's a stalpe in most all of my summer pasta salads. Thanks for the videos.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! Those are great ideas, my dad puts celery seed in his chicken salad sometimes and I love it.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

It's Tony's or cayenne for me 😊

[@sarahp9300]

We have those chips in eastern Tennessee too. I need to try them I guess lol

[@angelabrockman7816]

I enjoy seeing new items with a different purpose such as the lime rice. Your meals look so appetizing! YUM

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@theveggiemistress7566]

Try grated carrot on the smallest grate in place of celery ☺️ it’s so good!

[@LifewiththeLawhorns]

Hey girl , grippos are also sold in Florida at skyline locations but mostly Ohio ky and Indiana. Can get grippos

[@2455beth]

Great recipes as always! Love using my Insta pot will definitely be getting that one to try❤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@ssnieg9723]

We love gripped! My son goes to Cincinnati children’s often and we stock up when we go, they don’t sell them north of there. We have the bbq seasoning and love the pretzels too. I love you videos, great ideas 😊

[@KristinStepp]

I need to try the pretzels! Thank you!!

[@mollybrown4764]

I’m in Michigan and I don’t think I’ve ever seen grippos! Thanks for sharing another great vid☺️

[@yoncbwl2738]

Here is a tip my coworker gave me...She uses celery seed in place of celery. Like me, she likes the flavor, but not the crunchy hunks.

[@amom6511]

Thank you, that’s a great idea! I’m the same way, don’t like the crunchy chunks. Thanks for that!

[@carolinems.2411]

Hello, just want to tell you I love, love , love your videos. I especially love your soothing calm voice. I try to save the videos up so I can binge watch your videos for over and hour.

[@KathytheMama777]

I’m definitely trying those honey lime enchiladas! Looks delicious! ❤ thank you so much Kristin!

[@Tkmadd4812]

We have Grippos chips in Southwest Virginia where we border KY. So good!! I need to try those tenders!

[@debysandoval4596]

Great ideas. Thank you for sharing. When making enchiladas, use corn tortillas instead. 😊

[@jlcarter1975]

I have never heard of Ohio casserole, but it looks really good.

Grippos are my fav. We have them in Indiana

[@hollysaylor2292]

Grippo's and Uncle Charlie's! Sending love from Richmond!

[@paulamcleod1227]

Hi Kristin! I never put celery in my pasta salad. I think the crunch reminds me of onions *which we both don't like. Do you like pickles? If you do, next time, cut up some bread and butter pickles instead of the celery. You will love it! Still can't find that Chef Boyardee pizza kits anywhere. That taco pizza looked amazing! Also homemade refried beans! YUM

[@terrigaines1812]

You could just add celery seed to your macaroni salad to get that same flavor 😊

[@melissamclaughlin4383]

Hello sweet girl 💘 I love the chicken enchiladas and the pork chops and sauce.i absolutely have to get those pizza kits.so,so delicious ❤ outstanding job Kristin 😍 thank you.always a pleasure seeing you 💕💋 have a wonderful day 😊🙏👍💓😎

Try either just the celery leaves chopped fine or celery seed in your mac salad instead of the chopped celery- good flavor

[@SusanH578]

I have lived in Ohio all my life minus the years I was in the military & have never heard of that Ohio casserole. I wish I could get some great quality pork chops like you do! I love pork chops but can never find any good quality ones! I want to try that pork chop recipe!

[@KristinStepp]

I wish there were more options! If I try anything else I’m usually disappointed.

[@cynthiaoconnor7185]

Pork chops were the first meat I learned to cook after I was married. We were poor as church mice (my hubby was even in seminary) and, in the late 70's, you could buy 10-12 pork chops for about $5.00 at Tom Thumb. We would lightly saute the chops then simmer them in a Campbell's soup of our choice until they were saturated. Since I didn't eat meat, my husband would get 2 chops for between 5-6 meals. Cheap for newly Weds!

[@SusanH578]

@@cynthiaoconnor7185that would be AMAZING to have those prices back!! We don’t have any great butchers around…so we resort to the local stores & one cuts their own meat and I like their beef but their pork is nothing to write home about!

[@Ek1R]

Suprised you didn't mix the cheeses. All looks so good!!

[@elainemiller47]

Want to make the pizza cheaper and just as good? Try the great value crust in a bag. We get two bags at .88 a piece and it makes a large pizza.

[@KimClimer]

We love the chef boyardee pizza sauce. I get pizza dough on clearance all the time so we just buy the sauce

[@KristinStepp]

Yes!! So good!

[@jennainman7657]

I make macaroni salad with peas instead of celery

[@shannoncook7731]

Use celery seed. Taste but no crunch!

[@stephaniepapaleo9001]

I always wondered why my Mom would use celery seed instead of the celery! Been wondering why for 40 years 😝

We always do a "feed yourself" night or 2 a week😅 when everyone "husband, 4yo and 6yo" ask whats for dinner i say "whatever you make" my 4 and 6 yo can make their own oatmeal, ramen noodles, chicken nuggets, spagettios in the microwave "obviously im right in the kitchen with them assisting as needed" they can also do PB&Js their self and if they choose something that requires more help me and my husband help them sometimes its simple bowl of oatmeal and sometimes they make the strangest things out of whatevers in the fridge and cabnet theyve found alot of "throw together" favorites bc of feed your self nights, it just means im not cooking a whole meal their dad might decide to cook or the kids might decide to choose their own and we all help our 3 yo make his 😊

We call those 'Fending' nights, as in 'fend for yourself.'
