[@coquittam1012]

I love that you make videos that are easy enough for anyone to follow. My 5th grader would be able to follow your instructions on how to cook for the family

[@KristinStepp]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jordanadams5994]

Shout out to Kristin for doing my meal planning 👏🏼 I literally watch your videos to build my grocery list lol

[@KristinStepp]

I love it haha! 💕💕

[@elizabethj.davenport8947]

You know I just love that your channel isn’t super extra. I feel like I could actually make your recipes

[@KristinStepp]

❤❤

[@jenn4482]

I have made quite a few! Always delicious😋

[@dawnmorris3098]

These recipes look delicious! And on a funny note, my husband is watching the video with me. He just said, "Why's she cooking all this food...is she having company??" I've been laughing for 5 minutes straight. 😂

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

I love that you take pride in plating food for your family.

[@KristinStepp]

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Perfect timing, finishing up my meal plan for the month and I needed a few more meal ideas. I love getting meal inspiration from you, Taylor Elmore, Sammi, Mandy in the Making, and others.

[@KristinStepp]

❤❤❤

[@tracywishom9999]

I love your videos, I can't wait for school to start to see what you're packing for their lunches 😊

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you! I’m excited to start packing their lunch again. ❤️

[@elenacala]

Now that's how you do Mexican!! A lot of people don't use corn tortillas and that is a must. You make spanish rice almost like my abulita. The only other thing she added was onion which I know you hate onions but you could add onion powder for the flavor! You know it's good if that's how grandma makes it!

[@angelamcpherson8283]

I love onions!

[@tonjaprice9]

I made these ribs for dinner tonight. OMG! Delicious! My husband and I loved them. I used Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet and Spicy. Thanks for sharing!

[@tarabowersock8875]

For the hot dogs I used to make for my daughters sleepovers and parties, I sprayed a skillet with non stick spray, put my beef hot dogs in and then about 1/4-12in of water, cooked til the water boiled off and then char in the skillet. They were always a hit. Also I do brats that way when I can’t grill.

[@dawngilstrap8505]

When I do grilled cheese, i butter the bread on one side before i put it in the pan. It's easier and you get a more even browning because the bread is buttered well.

[@ashleypowelllll]

The grilled cheese and fries look absolutely amazing for an easy summer meal. Thank you for sharing!!

[@amylynnnich607]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! That cheeseburger lasagna 😭😋 that looks AMAZING!!!! I’m making it this weekend for sure!! And the lemon fries!!! What in the world!!! Heaven!!!

[@melissamclaughlin4383]

Outstanding as always Kristen 😊 omg,I hv to make those ribs,just everything is super delicious 😋😋❤❤it's a true pleasure seeing you 💕 stay safe out there everybody 🙏😘😊❤😘😊

[@bonniepwtf]

Oh yum, that first one was extra special. All my favorite things in it. They all looked good. Kristin, I want to recommend Kraft Melty Mozzarella in the bag. I have never had a better melt. There is some Philadelphia cream cheese in it & another plus is it keeps in the refrigerator for a really long time. Thanks for the video.💟

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! & for the recommendation, I will be on the lookout for it. 💕

[@Kimberly-S333]

When I’m having a bad day and I need to just relax and unwind I love watching your videos! They are relaxing and I get good meal ideas too! ❤😊

[@jennyderyke4267]

Love how you presented the hot dogs! VERY clever!

[@karengaudiosi9390]

New subscriber here. I just watched three of your videos,breakfast,lunch and now dinner! I love them 😍 Thank you for sharing 😊

[@tammifields4142]

All I can say is Yum Yum Yum!!😋🤤😋 Kristen you Always have some of the Best meal ideas!!💯

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much! 💕💕

[@nspinelli3302]

Butter and toast your hotdog buns. Makes such a difference! 😊

[@Merrileeward]

Steaming them too! I spritz mine with water (don’t soak them!), wrap them in foil, then pop them in the oven or on the grill for about five minute. Yummmm 😊

[@j.m.6454]

Every meal in this video looked so good! I’m definitely making those enchiladas this week! 😊

[@carrie8039]

I enjoy all of your "what's for dinner" videos. This one was particularly good. I'll be trying all of these recipes. Thanks!!

[@Caitlin1928]

Bacon Cheeseburger Lasagna is one I had not heard of before. I recently tried Chicken Alfredo Lasagna and that was really good.

[@jeannettesparr9179]

Yay! You learned how to say Monterey! We love you and your channel. Always one of my favs. Have a great day!

[@susanbrock9732]

Such a nice presentation of the hot dogs and fixings!

[@adbathert3705]

Great, simple ideas! Thank you!

[@chasz-gc8cl]

Wow real easy very nice❤❤❤

[@jenl.9980]

That casserole dish in the first recipe is FANTASTIC. I'm jealous. Lol.

[@charlottehetherington8720]

I think my grandson would really like the buffalo chicken grilled cheese going to try it for his lunch

[@virgoscorner]

I definitely have to try that buffalo dip grilled cheese. I do something similar with chicken tenders. I always love your nail polish choices. They compliment your hands so nicely.

[@KristinStepp]

Aw thank you!!

[@angelabrockman7816]

I love your descriptions and results! You are a great cook. LOVE your meals. ❤

[@ashleymanier5578]

I love your videos! You have unique twists on favorites and I love getting new ideas for dinner from this channel. Excited to try all these!

[@vbroadwater3745]

Thanks for sharing these recipes! Delicious looking recipes😋! Can't hardly wait to try them! See you soon on your next video! Bye for now!

[@AriLove25]

The hot dog charcuterie board is a cute idea!

[@samanthalittle3273]

Those lemon feta fries look amazing!!

[@carrielusk8617]

Awesome video and recipes as usual Kristin! Can't wait to try some of these! Especially the bacon cheeseburger lasagna! Always look forward to your videos and I wanted to say that I really miss your grocery hauls too! Have a great rest of your week! 🧡🌞🧡

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!! & I will take that into consideration on making more ❤️

[@carrielusk8617]

@@KristinStepp Yay! Thank you! 😁 You know i love ya! Just do what you can when you can 😉

[@gretaoverstreet8572]

Kristin, would you share a video on how to cook the chicken in the crockpot for meal prep, or could you write out how to do it and then how you package it and freeze it? Thank you.

[@susans9491]

You picked a really nice assortment of meals this time! We will be trying them all soon.❤

[@KristinStepp]

💕💕

[@melaniemurphy2429]

Everything looks delicious! I really want to try the cheeseburger lasagna! I love all of your videos… so happy to have a new one ❤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!! It was super good!

[@ellielouise4064]

Those ribs looked Devine!! I’m definitely going to try the cheeseburger lasagna! ❤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!! Hope you enjoy. 🥰

[@nadia4088]

Mexican rice, either 1 cup of rice = 2 cups of water or 2 cups of rice, 4 cups of water, or chicken broth. Garlic powder onion powder season salt tomato sauce 😊 before all that brown the rice Let boil 15 low heat dont touch because rice may become uneven cooked

[@LaneyDanae]

I’m excited to try the cheeseburger lasagna!

[@susanhoward5046]

Kristen ~ you really need to consider publishing your own cook book !! ❤🇱🇷

[@NReed-xh1cd]

Hello from Mississippi. Great meal ideas. Thanks for sharing. 😁

[@KristinStepp]

Hey!! Thank you!

[@bluedragon1979]

One easy trick to get reduced fat and fat free shredded cheese to melt properly is to spray it with cooking spray right before putting the dish in the oven.

[@juliaokuneva9726]

So tasty😊

[@The_Food_Police]

Bottle that enchilada sauce and put it on everything! 😎

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome recipes, 👍❤️❤️

[@aimeedouglas1584]

Next time you’re at Costco, look for that Butt Rub seasoning. We always buy it in a large jar and it’s a way better value than the grocery store.

[@Madisonmum04]

Love your video's ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jeanne9375]

I always buy baby back ribs..and never removed any type of skin..never any issues and always tender

[@BigRedSmallWorld]

Gonna try that lemon feta fries!

[@MarkeriaHerrod-fh1uu]

I recommend y'all try the brand new peach cobbler pop tarts it's at walmart ❤❤❤

[@KristinStepp]

I haven’t heard of those, that sounds amazing!! I will look for them, thank you!

[@tiffney829]

Yummy ❤

[@yaricontreras3063]

Thank you!!

[@mylittlepony-s1m]

cool

[@audreycasassa1683]

Excellent Video!

[@GraceKowalski]

Hi, your street corn chicken enchiladas look so good and I want to try them! Can you explain how you made the chicken in the crock pot? 😅 I’m new to this

[@saraspara9365]

Cooking chicken in the crockpot is super easy! You just put your chicken in the crock pot and add salsa and different seasonings (cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt pepper etc.). You can add a little bit of water/chicken broth to it. Put it on low for a couple of hours or high for a few hours. You know it’s done when you can easily shred the chicken. You can shred the church with a hand mixer or by using two forks

[@lindagoodman5333]

Yummy Sis

[@emmadiaz4185]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@mamieb29]

Great video

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you!

[@kareygarner5819]

Sometimes the fascia doesnt come on the ribs...usually if it doesnt it will be printed on the package

[@MdnightWnd]

I don't like bottled ranch - it always tastes too tart for me, so I avoid it. However, I WAS curious about the differences in the ranch seasoning. So I actually made a pack of the Hidden Valley regular and the Hidden Valley restaurant style the exact same way and there was definitely a taste difference. The buttermilk is a must no matter which way you go. But I really preferred the restaurant packet version.

[@KristinStepp]

I don’t like many bottled ranches. & interesting! I was thinking I should have done a side by side comparison to really tell. Do you know if they sell the containers of the restaurant style?

[@missygilliam3527]

Will you be starting your kids lunch box ideas back now that school is about to start back?

[@KristinStepp]

Yes!

[@MommaLousKitchen]

I use connecuh instead of hot dogs for hot dogs 😅

[@Rothbergor94]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kimberlychristmas-lee3868]

I see Kristin post 👀 I like 👍🏽

[@missprizzy1]

I can never find the enchilada packets

[@tonjaprice9]

The ribs might have to happen this weekend.

[@dwynn57]

[@AnaLovesMakeup]

Where are you from?

[@aimeedouglas1584]

She is in Kentucky.

[@frog4886]

I bought the same brand of ribs from Kroger and had the same issue with the silver skin. We gave up too. 😂 It didn't even make a difference in the end. We enjoyed them anyway.

[@KristinStepp]

I wonder if they are already removed? So odd lol but yes still turned out great!

[@katie78514]

I have had a time with those ribs from kroger trying to remove the skin. It was there but very cumbersome and time consuming to get it removed.

[@amandar3994]

I use a paper towel to grab and it makes the task much easier for me

We never do that with the skin.

[@MommaLousKitchen]

All beef is definitely preferable if it's an actual hot dog. I won't eat it though. Or Bologna. Or lunch meat not from the actual deli. Weird about meat.

[@JeannetteSparr]

It's a little bit sad that you don't allow your kids to have the good cheese, like you and Josh had in those sandwiches. I think serving kids the best should be your priority, not keeping it for yourself. As a mom, I try to put my kids first. Not sure I'll keep watching.

[@KristinStepp]

I gave them the same brand as us and it was the same price. The only difference is ours was spicy and theirs was not because they don’t like it. I ALWAYS put my kids first.

[@jkline7793]

Love your videos as always ❤

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much!!
