[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Who needs Food Network when Jen gives you delicious recipes. Everything looks so delicious. I'm definitely going to try a few of these recipes. Thank you for sharing.

[@ericastout9873]

Hi sis 👋

[@hannahkayee831]

Your camera clarity and angles are SOOO good lately! Not that they weren't good before, but even more so! The overhead views are MY absolute favorite! ❤

[@juliebergeron691]

Hi Jen, I am from Canada’s East Coast and we use salt cod for our fishcakes and we put mashed potatoes and onions in with the flaked fish and we form patties and brown in pan. No breadcrumbs. It’s delicious. You boil the pieces of salt cod with your potatoes in same pot.

[@katierodriguez2591]

Do you use real potatoes or instant?

[@JuliesPlans]

My family LOVED the TikTok feta pasta dish! Definitely wish we had made half though because the original recipe makes A LOT!

[@stephanienivens429]

Jalapeño cilantro tuna cakes are amazing if you want a different way to use the tuna! Just an egg, almond flour, jalapeños, cilantro garlic powder onion powder cook in a pan until heated through!

[@amcf7160]

Your voice is so calming, listening to you makes me super chill! On this side of the Atlantic(Ireland), Pigs in Blankets are cocktail sausages (little sausage links) wrapped in bacon. Sausage rolls are sausages wrapped in puff pastry. Devils on horseback are dates wrapped in bacon, the sweet and salty combination is a tasty appetizer!

[@patriciavavra7375]

I have found that when I want to air fry it helps to spray whatever you are frying with oil instead of the spray. I bought an EVO spray bottle that I use to spray the food usually using avocado oil. Spraying gives you an even coverage.

[@valerieknauber2149]

Hey my favorite friend. Hope your doin well and I've had you in my prayers. Always love the ideas. It's always great to see what you cook up.

[@Mummakat]

I love the idea of the fish patties, my kids would never eat fish as is but turning them into patties would work perfectly! I’ll have to give that recipe a try and see if I can trick them! 😅

[@LokiBagFullOfCats]

I made that tiktok feta pasta a few days ago on a whim and I fell head over heels in love with it! I'm so glad I got the feta from a big box store because I still have another block to make it again. I used red pepper flakes as well and cooked down some onion and garlic separately and added it in towards the end. I used regular spaghetti and heaps of basil and was soo obsessed. I honestly was curious to see if you would try it and was so happy you did! ❤️🍝

[@wendyomalley6433]

Again, a great video! I also wanted to thank you for showing different products that make my life easier, things I would have never tried or knew about! My care of vitamins came and I haven’t missed a day of vitamins. I just grab my packet, put it in my lunchbox, and take them, EVERY SINGLE DAY! That hasn’t happened in years and I am actually taking the ones I need in the dosage that’s correct. You also showed the gel manicure products you use at home. I received them about six weeks ago and now do all my manicures at home and it lasts for weeks! You said it doesn’t take long and you were absolutely right! I actually enjoy that self care time, listening to a book on audible, and love the fact I don’t have to go in a salon environment. Thank you again for sharing, you have made my life healthier and easier!

[@alwaysabob8962]

So enjoying your channel Jen! You are doing so much for so many. Thank you! Love all the day in the life and weekend prep. Hauls are fun too! Binge watching and already sad I’ll run out at some point.

[@suenewson997]

Jen i love these types of video's,good job as always x

[@jeannewilson7375]

Yay!! Friday night excitement....Jen posted a video!! I absolutely love Thrive Market! I’ve been ordering frequently since you started sharing it. Thanks!

[@Mummakat]

I love ceaser salad too! I usually get the smaller tubs of it for dinner becuase usually im the only one that likes it. Sometimes my 3 year old likes lettuce but depends what mood he is in lol the chicken spaghetti sounds so yum! I have a pasta recipe from my grandma that only uses tomato paste and sour cream as the sauce and it’s soooo good! 🤤

[@stacieezell3678]

Great vlog lady

[@marjana6182]

Great video Jen!😊🥰🙏😊😊🙏🙏🥰🥰 Thanks so much! I loved that you were creative with your feta pasta and used Rotini and also did not purée your sauce in food processor. 😋😋 Looks FANTASTIC, along w your other recipes!🥳🤩 Have a great weekend!

[@suejohns7788]

Hi Jen in the UK 🇬🇧 we call pigs in blankets the way you made them sausage rolls, and pigs in blankets are using thin pork sausages wrapped in bacon. Also I have made the feta cheese and pasta it was delicious. In the Ramon I put in the thick noodles with spring onions, grated carrots peppers and green beans into the broth and garlic. Love your videos xxx

[@kellybick6472]

The potato wedges in the Cosori air fryer cookbook are delish!! 🍟 I have that same air fryer and love it!

[@ophiuchusoversoul1785]

When my kids were teens I used to do a chicken pasta night. Basically any left over veg in the fridge that needed eaten and any tidbits of frozen went in. Boil pasta,, drain, add already cooked chicken (often leftovers) corn, peas, spinach, bell peppers, yeah you name it. Cherry tomatoes are delicious if added last just before serving. I also like to add half a cup or so of shredded romano or asiago shredded cheese, chilis, black pepper, and some lemon zest. Savory, sweet (corn, peas, and cherry tomatoes) spicy, sour... delicious. I tried the feta thing too,, iti was good. Not my favorite ever but really good.

[@diannamcbride1607]

I will definitely be trying the pigs in a blanket... and probably the Ramen... and the chicken spaghetti. 😊. I also wanted to let you know that I recreated your Valentine's day dinner this evening. Yum! I couldn't believe how good the Brussels sprouts were!

[@Mummakat]

I didn’t add basil to the tik tok pasta and I have heard a few times now that it’s better with basil! Maybe I will have to try it again with basil!

[@cassandrasmom]

Ok I need to try that feta dish..maybe with spaghetti squash.

[@ammerslo2632]

I adore you & all you do🤗

[@spinnarella]

Such a good lesson for kids (and adults too). Not every meal has to be the best meal ever. Sometimes dinner is just going to be a protein, a veggie, complex carb. And your belly is going to be full. And your going to go to bed.

[@Barbaracoyle]

Mackerel patties are awesome.

[@katierodriguez2591]

Jen, when you make your Cole slaw sauce, add some of a packet of hidden valley ranch dressing mix(the powder) to taste. Trust me.

[@traceycosta9196]

From Australia here and love looking at the different food products you have there. I’ve been thinking about making the tik tok feta pasta and after watching you make it, I’m going to do it.....keep up the good work🤗💕

[@kristygraboski1281]

The feta dish is so good! Thank you for doing it the right way! I’ve seen others do it in an instant pot and it looked like slop.

[@christeenprice4428]

Awesome video, thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@brendatate8986]

Thanks for telling me about that feta cheese pasta because I haven’t tried it because I think just regular feta (not cooked) is a strong taste to me. This was good to know. Have a blessed weekend!

[@Jen-Chapin]

Hope you like it!

[@barbiedoll6530]

FIRST I LOVE your nail color! Love your philosophy about feeding your kids! Oh I'm gonna try with EBS...i usually use poppy seeds...yum thanks for the idea! All your dinners look amazing

[@lisajones488]

You talk really fast, but it's just you trying to give us healthy advise. Thank you and always enjoy it.😊😊

[@jeannewilson7375]

The cauliflower pretzels are amazing!!

[@Mom-pu8vt]

I always make sausage rolls with puff pastry, very tasty but it really does like you mentioned depend on the taste of the sausage. I go for the less salted brands. I like to brush the puff pastry on top with egg wash and sesame seeds.

[@tammifields4142]

ALWAYS enjoy your videos! You made some DELICIOUS 😋 Dinners!🍜🥗🥘🍝 Thank you for sharing!

[@RJ-dn4ib]

Your pork looks great! I have always heard you have to cook pork at 350 deg. and 20 min per lb. But maybe thats just for tenderloin and not loin! Gonna try your cook temp! It looks so good.

[@cathyfeigert5660]

I would make all of these. You had my favorite shirt on in part of the video. Thanks for inspiring me Jen!

[@amybigelow1481]

Hi Jen, do you have a link for your cookbook holder? Thank you for sharing your videos with us!

[@andreasofiaaa]

You are a Heaven sent!!! Amazing content, thank you for the timestamps!

[@ursulaa.4067]

I don't know if you have a Carrabbas near you, but they have the BEST caesar salad!

[@candyly4]

I love your Bernie t-shirt!!! I love everything else, too :)

[@CarriesCulinaryCrafts]

Jen, next time you order thrive try the Chipotle Lime Avocado Mayo. It is sooooooo good.

[@Foodielaura]

I love a good fish cake. That ready cut slaw mix is so handy, I haven't tried sugar in coleslaw before no wonder KFC is so addictive!

[@celestedouville2529]

I use my meat masher thing on the feta cheese phenom....it worked fantastically.

[@Mummakat]

I say the same to my 3 year old now. I used to pretend brocolli and Brussel sprouts etc were sooo yummy and try to make him eat it because I would act like it was my favourite food. Now when he says “I don’t like brocolli “ I just reply with, “nobody likes brocolli, I don’t like brocolli, but we have to eat it to grow healthy” and so far I think this approach is working better 🤷‍♀️

[@Foodielaura]

haha good approach. I do really like broccoli though!

[@elvaaude]

Have u tried the granola from lollis cookie clusters??? It takes a while to ship and its pricy but so worth it!!!! Its keto and delicious

[@jaimmieharvey2667]

I had the ramen broth and I love it.Maybe do not mix with beef broth.think it great and I eat ramen out all the time and thought it was really good ...FYI the pho broth is good to.give it a try. Love your channel.

[@texasbelle19]

My kids love salmon cakes I’m going to try the tilapia. You always have the best ideas. I don’t make other meals for the kids either but they are always welcome to yogurt, fruit or veggies if they don’t love what we are having. Those it saves lives bars look awesome too. Sometimes we just need quick options that aren’t full of sugar. Thanks!

[@maneler.3082]

Love your Sanders shirt. 😍

[@michellehaines7801]

Looks Amazing as always!! Yum

[@simplymarisa8]

I think I'm the only one who didn't go crazy over the feta dish lol! Being Greek and growing up eating Greek food and only using fresh feta from a shop, I thought it would be magical. Don't get me wrong it was good but not as divine as I thought it would be! Debbie Downer over here! I LOVE the Caesar salad from Costco too. I always get so many ideas from your videos!

[@TheFreezeDryQueen]

I was IN LOVE with the feta dish, too. All your recipes looked so good this week. I live for your what’s for dinner videos! I am going to try that broccoli/chicken spaghetti dish. I wonder if I could do Greek yogurt instead. I bet I could!

[@Foodielaura]

I've gotta try that feta dish, I'm so late to the feta pasta party!

[@TheFreezeDryQueen]

@@Foodielaura it’s so heavenly!

[@girlonabikesl]

Yummers! 🤩🤩

[@hannahkayee831]

Woooo hoo! So excited for the video!

I got a salad kit from walmart, it was bacon sunflower crunch! Has to be my favorite one so far.

[@bettypierce8050]

looks great

[@TheBosslaady14]

Love your channel tfs!!! Is that pasta as good as everyone's raving about? I want to make it.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Yes it is!

[@kristenchavez2201]

I feel like I’m the only person who hated the feta pasta but I never had feta before so oh well everything else looks yummy!!!

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

i think the coconut shrimp would’ve browned better if they had been closer to the heating element.

[@allthemays4237]

Any update on when your cookbook will be available for purchase. I cant wait to get it.

[@Jen-Chapin]

Late spring!

[@MissyMe42253]

Great thrive haul!!! Oh, I'm not a fan of the avocado mayos but thrive has coconut oil mayo or chosen foods has coconut oil mayo that is delicious and so healthy:) hope you try💙🥥

[@lorithomas9221]

When we have salmon patties, my mom always gave us mustard to dip the patties in.

[@gobigorgohomefamilymeals9389]

Great my girl but again I am laying in bed and of course the husband interrupts and says oh great Jen Chapin I get pushed aside and of course me says shut up I only got 30 minutes with her 🤣

[@hannahkayee831]

Definitely trying these pigs in a blanket soon! I never thought to put mustard. My dad said pigs in a blanket are in bacon. Maybe he grew up with his parents doing that or knew someone. Unsure lol yummm Ramen one of my favorite things ❤❤❤ will be making this for my family, my dad would especially love it.

[@coletteclarke3658]

Our pigs in blankets in the UK are wrapped in bacon 🥓

[@hannahkayee831]

@@coletteclarke3658 sounds delicious! My dad said that what pigs in a blanket are but he never made them for us 😂

Jen, have you tried prepping the fish cakes in your air fryer? Curious if they hold together?

[@stacieroberts8315]

Have you tired real sausage wrapped in bacon? ( Not hotdogs) That’s what we (UK) use and call pigs in blankets x

[@rachel.schmidt]

I made the feta tomato pasta too and I agree that it was surprisingly delicious and easy! Definitely thought it was overhyped before I tried it.

[@mom2nan552]

Snacks snacks they are all great sweets chocolate the lime and cilantro dressing as a marinade the ketchup is good I got it for my son they just made some changes to their auto ship feature

[@G3brenda]

Great to see you try the viral Feta pasta recipe the correct way (lemonlady did it in the instapot and it was a big fail LOL)..some great recipes in this video :)

[@flowergirl1765]

I have to make that pasta! If I can even find feta at this point!

[@flowergirl1765]

Ok I got the Bulgarian feta! Gonna try it!

[@lbern4381]

What brand of dishwasher do you have. If I packed mine like you do I would have to hand wash them after. I have a kenmore and I have to practically wash my dishes before I put them in the dishwasher and I leave space between the dishes. I need a new dishwasher.

[@suefanning2067]

Love the glasses.💕

Hyvee is not known for affordable prices. I've purchased Gluten-free Flour from them for 15 on sale and went to Fareway and saw it for 9.99. Hyvee is now only good for the occasional loss leader.

[@alliemille]

How much do you recommend the feta pasta? I've seen it all over and I'm not sure I want to try it yet. Is it life changing? HA!

[@christinabeil8780]

Lovvvvvvvvvvve your shirt

Do you have a recommendation on a garlic press? The one I have requires the strength of ten strong men to operate.

Lol for myself I use jar because my hands hurt from over the years

Which Instant Loss cookbook is the IP Chicken Spaghetti recipe from???? I don't find it in the budget cookbook, so I ASSUME the other. I can't find my original cookbook to check that one......

[@CatherineShoresHMN]

Never mind. I found the book. Oddly, I had that recipe flagged to try. 😆

[@Jen-Chapin]

Haha!

[@alisonb1699]

The chicken breasts you use seem much more like the size of the ones here in the uk. Often when I watch US cooks, the chicken breasts are huge, look like they belong on the Flintstones! I am definitely making the feta pasta dish, it looks delicious.
