[@lavernejones4471]

Hi Kristin. You totally outdid yourself this time! Everything looked absolutely delicious! I definitely want to try all of these recipes. Your salad looked restaurant quality perfect and the square plate made it look even better!😍 Thanks for sharing as always. You are the queen of “what’s for dinner “🤗💕

[@KristinStepp]

Aw thank you so much!! You’re the sweetest. 💕

[@sweetpea1596]

First, I would like to say I "ENJOY" watching your channel!! I decided today to leave you a comment about I appreciate how much you make sure you evenly cover the top of whatever food you're cooking. I've watched numerous of cooking channels and for some reason, it "Bothers" me so much! to see them either cover one end evenly and not the other or just leave corners uncovered. Thank you so much! for taking the time to do this☺

[@cindypatterson4752]

All your recipes looked amazing but that salad you knocked it outa the ball park!!!!! Definitely going to make me one!!!!! Thanks ♥️

[@pamhair283]

Try making your ranch in a large Mason jar, add everything and shake, shake, shake! 😊 perfect for storing and serving. Thank you for sharing all your ideas.

[@MandaFandaa]

Think we might try those chicken tenders tonight! Thank you Kristin. I always appreciate your down to earth spirit. You’re a sweetheart.

[@KristinStepp]

I really appreciate that!! ❤️

[@krisicooper9155]

That's my kind of salad! If you were from Pittsburgh, you would also add some French fries 😊 try it, so yummy!

[@maggie2936-q1m]

Seems I remember from my visit there years ago, y’all add fries to just about everything! ❤😅

[@KimClimer]

I've learned by making sourdough that wet hands work with a sticky dough.

[@KristinStepp]

Great tip!!

[@sarahgalvan7147]

Love your channel and how you go through and explain each part of your cooking. Thank you!

[@ashleys7413]

I’ve been making that first recipe for about 7 years. I call it John Wayne Casserole. So good!

[@LisaH582]

I just ate dinner myself but I'm hungry again just looking at your meatloaf! It looks so dang good and I can't wait to make it.

[@kirbdizzo6559]

Ooo them chicken tenders look 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@KristinStepp]

🥰❤️

[@beckyhines3814]

We must be thinking a like. I bought tortellini just to see what it was like but didn't know what to really do with it. Until now. Thanks for the recipe. Can't wait to try it. Have a good weekend.😊

[@paulaavallone7258]

You did great chopping that pepper! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you 🥰

[@amandafleenor6125]

I bet crescent rolls would make a great base for the Cowboy Casserole.

[@krishnastanovich2536]

Me and my boyfriend have been loving salad lately!!! Can’t wait to try your chicken tender recipe and ranch!!! 😍 thank you Kristin for another great video.

[@bonniepwtf]

Way to go Boston! Trying new things like that last meal👍 That meatloaf pan looks like such a good idea. Have a great weekend with the fam.❤

[@lisaterryberry2490]

That salad looked amazing!

[@maggie2936-q1m]

Buttermilk adds such great flavor. ❤ I love fried chicken salads.

[@marlajames2376]

Oh my goodness! EVERYTHING looked so so so good! Thank you for all the work you put into these wonderful videos! We don’t like buffalo or hot sauce so I am thinking of making that meatloaf with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese!

[@melaniemurphy2429]

Is there any chance you could make more videos of what you pack lunch for Josh? I especially like those. BUT… I absolutely love all of your videos! You are an amazing woman 💞🌸💞

[@melissaconlay8651]

Everything in this video looks so good. The salad was beautiful and I need to try that meatloaf!

[@DanyelleMullins]

Kristen you need the cheese shedder I have. It’s the same grater but you put the cheese in the top and turn the handle to make the grater spin to shred it.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Another great video of delicious meals. Can't wait to add a few of these to our meal plan.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much 💕

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

​@KristinStepp you're welcome, sweet friend. Hope you're doing well this lovely afternoon.

[@CreatingwithGod]

Yummy! Do you ever make freezer meals? If so I’d love to see a video of those ❤️🥰

[@Kymom776]

If you are ever back in Tennessee you have to try the local goat it is fantastic. Everything looked delicious. Salad was top tier!!

[@murphy81775]

Kristin!!!! Your chicken tender salad looks far superior to any that I’ve been served in a restaurant! My mouth is watering….

[@Neishianadiaaa]

Been watching you for yearsss❤️

[@2455beth]

All of the recipes look really yummy! I think the meatloaf is my favorite. Definitely gonna give that one a try!❤️

[@lisaminshew1488]

Kristin, yum!

[@tammifields4142]

Just Looove when you post these videos.......Your meals ALWAYS look Yummy!😋😋 Your blue 🩵 nails are Pretty!!

[@barbiemarie2376]

Can you do what to pack lunches for a single girls

[@dorianpomerlee6665]

The salad reminded me of Zaxby’s! And maybe crescent dough for the casserole!

[@catscratches9899]

Wow, extra amazing dinners this week! I want to make everything. It never crossed my mind that I could make a different flavor meatloaf 🤯

[@ruthannhendricks7614]

Kristin these all look amazing! Thanks for sharing

[@wendypacheco7438]

I love the southern accent, way too cute!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@angelabrockman7816]

No wimpy meals here! Have a great day. ❤

[@melanieramon6738]

4:58 aka john wayne casserole. Ive made it like 10x now. We like it. A tip, if u dont care about seeing layers…i added the rotel, green chiles, cheese, sour cream and cream cheese (the recipe i used called for cc not mayo) right into the meat mix and then just dumped it onto the breading. (Recipe said crescents, the video showed her using pressed biscuits. I used pills pizza dough sheet. ) and top with more cheese.

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

That salad looked amazing! Next time you go to Costco, pick up some of the frozen Bare chicken nuggets or patties. They’re perfect air fried and go great on salads.

[@wordswisdomwhitney1533]

Yum! I have some thawed ground beef, definitely making that cattle drive casserole tonight!

[@quantinariley8000]

Thank you again you knocked it out the park again Girl that my kind of salad I can't wait to try those chicken tenders 😋

[@sandymcdonald6t1]

Thank you for sharing. Everything made me hungry. Looked delicious ~!

[@mslisadianemorse]

Try grape tomatoes! They are way more sweet than regular cherry tomatoes.

[@cherylg5002]

I need to come to your house for dinner! 🤣 Everything looks so good. ❤

[@jennareeser9842]

Every time I try chicken the breading falls off and they never cook evenly. But I am confident in your recipe and going to try this week! Thanks for the new ideas ❤️ been watching you for years!

[@celiazeiders6094]

Everything looks delicious I like a good salad

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!!

[@joielynette]

Hi and happy Thursday! 😁 Wow those are some yummy meals 😋 thanks for the inspiration. I've been in a rut and this got me motivated to try something new. Have a great weekend 🤗

[@apeeples22]

I trick I learned from my grandfather when he made meatloaf he would always use a potato masher to combine everything. That way you don’t have to get your hands dirty.

[@audreycasassa1683]

Excellent Video!!! Each dinner looked so good!

[@yogamom1898]

Girllllllll great recipes 💗

[@jenjernagan5184]

Those meals look yummy! Especially the meatloaf.

[@WeepingWillow422]

What??? You did just fine cutting that pepper! That's usually what peppers look like when I cut them. Unless we're both messing up. 😄😄

[@HeatherTerry84]

I love those black measuring cups you were using in the first recipe with the Bisquick, do you happen to have a link or remember where you got them? ❤

[@christieanthony6988]

I made the taco last night and they were really good!

[@KristinStepp]

I’m so glad you liked it!

[@lisanarde4696]

Not sure if my family would like the meatloaf, but do you think it would be good with ground chicken? Love your videos!! I always appreciate you sharing recipes. 😊

[@sweetheart5062]

I really appreciate your recipes Kristin, they are always so perfect 😊

[@ashleyskitchen8620]

We love all your recipes ❤

[@KristinStepp]

[@nancyfarkas3592]

That’s my kind of salad

[@DanyelleMullins]

Love it. I would love to know how you meal plan!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you! I use the notes app in my phone & plan for 5 meals. I look through Pinterest, cookbooks everywhere really.

[@DanyelleMullins]

@@KristinStepp I had to ask because I spend an hour meal planning and driving myself crazy like I haven’t been making dinner for like 12 years lol

[@MeloyKimberly]

You feed your family so well 😊

[@caitlinbrooks1085]

@kristin the next time you go to Tennessee, check out Haddie B's restaurant. Very good Chicken sandwich! 😊

[@christeenprice5637]

Everything looks delicious,thanks 👍❤️👍❤️😊

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

Try wetting your hands when working with sticky dough.

[@angeladawson5383]

Perfect…..❤️

[@KristinStepp]

🥰🥰

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

Do you make sourdough bread?

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

I got a bunch of hate on Facebook for trying to make basically the same content. But we're doing it for ourselves anyway and saving tons of money and eating better than all the haters. :)

[@teacherinrecovery]

Buffaloian here. Franks is often our choice for "buffalo" things.

[@nikkibyrd343]

I’ve been wanting to try JT Hannah’s and now maybe I won’t 🤣 I seem to like the same kind of things you do so I’ll just skip it haha

[@sashaturner6154]

Hi Kristin blessings from Jamaica. Can you tell me where you bought that blue knife? It's so pretty with all those flowers.

[@loricawley54]

I’m not Kristin, but the knife is from the Pioneer Woman brand. ❤️

[@Rothbergor94]

❤❤❤

[@ceciliadominguez8250]

❤

[@JeannetteSparr]

Just fill the lid of the ranch bottle to measure one packet. That's why it's that size. You're welcome.

[@Lisa..4]

Great video. I’m sure for most it’s easy. But, can you do a quick video on vacuum sealing. Things you vacuum seal things you shouldn’t vacuum seal. Tricks and tips. Example: I’ve heard you should press out ground beef in the bag before sealing. Thank you!

[@venusgal2706]

Why if two of you liked the burnt ends and two didnt' would you quit making it that way? That sounds like a draw to me lol. I'd alternate and say we get it our way this time and your way the next lol OR pull theirs out first. Just sayin'...

[@kaliehall-to8im]

That looks really good this chicken dinner hahaha Ryan kneeling sorry Brandon sweet dreams buddy bowling night kneeling my name is Heather ha

[@lindyclement2505]

Do you guys down there decided the letter L is not needed? Wtf

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

I swear, once you detox from some of those packaged foods and make things homemade, it’s hard to go back. And with the price of Bob Evans nowadays, no thanks.

[@carolinedunphy957]

||You have a problem if you actually listen to people telling you where to put your bread ...... such nonsense

[@KristinStepp]

I’m not sure what you are referring to

[@dawnrivera8273]

That salad looks amazing!
