I just want to say, it’s so sweet of you to look after your husband like this. I bet it means the world to him that you take the time to do it! Everything looks yummy too! Always enjoy your videos! 💕

[@kristennelson2480]

Seriously! Mine would have had leftover meatloaf I would have never thought to make chili 🥴

[@staceypatton2624]

[@FrugalLifeThriftyWife]

Using your leftover meatloaf as a base for your chili is genius!

[@amberkramer718]

I love how creative yet simple these meals are (the lunches and dinners) I swear I can’t ever come up with anything that isn’t just rice chicken and broccoli! This really helps me up my game in the kitchen and my husband has been loving the new variety in our meal plans lately ❤️ he’s not a picky guy and eats whatever you put in front of him but he’s complimented me numerous times since switching things up ❤️

[@samanthawebber5684]

Soak your apples for a little bit in apple juice to prevent them from turning brown! That’s what I used when I send my kids with apples in their lunch boxes

[@jmannii]

Soaked in pineapple juice is good, too.

[@sabrinacopas1636]

I want to repeat what I've said, and what others notice, and that is how sweet it is that you love making things for your husband and how it pleases your heart when he loves something you make him. I love that for you guys, I have been around forever and I am here in the background cheering for you guys. ❤️

[@bobbie9522]

We always soak our apples in a bit of lemon lime soda to prevent browning. Works really well. Tastes better than lemon juice.

[@josemisty1050]

Brilliant idea for leftover meatloaf! We always have so much leftover and never seem to eat it but we do love chili.

[@Taurusbaby579]

That hash brown casserole is called Funeral potatoes here is Utah. It’s a delicacy around these parts lol. We typically top it with corn flakes mixed in melted butter before baking so it creates a yummy crunchy topping.

[@terrigaines1812]

Hashbrown casserole is such a nicer name.

[@meloneycrews]

I bet Josh is the envy of his work mates!! He is surely blessed to have you! I was so sad when y’all separated years ago, it makes me so happy that things have worked out for y’all!! May God continue to bless you and your family! 💕💞

[@lornacrystal9784]

Great ideas!! I don’t pack for a spouse but these lunch ideas give so much life to mine and my kids lunches. Also helps so much on saving money and not eating out! Thanks Kristin!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Thank you for continuing to share what you pack, Josh. He's blessed to have you as his wife. Everything looks delicious. Hope he's staying cool on these hot days.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@ThePunkykim]

The best thing to use on apples to keep them from turning brown is sprite. I work in a hospital kitchen and that's what we use.

[@Rightofpop]

If I could eat carbs, I’d eat sausage biscuits 5 times a day with jelly and hot sauce 🤣🤷‍♀️

[@mandytaylor1893]

With jelly and hot sauce??! Hmm, nvr heard of that before but it sounds interesting!

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you 🥰

[@carleyjackson5066]

I am literally obsessed with your videos, As a mom with too under 2 your meals always bring us happiness thank you so much ❤️

[@KristinStepp]

Aw that makes me happy!! 💗

[@countrycutie3263]

I love the meatloaf chili idea! There are only two people at my house so when I make meatloaf we always end up with leftovers and usually eat sandwiches..the chili will be a good change!

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

I can eat a whole loaf myself. Never leftover meatloaf here lol

[@kerrybh4625]

I have a recommendation for keeping apples from browning… white grape juice! It doesn’t add a sour taste like lemons, but has enough acid to do the trick! Thanks for all the videos.. I truly enjoy them and have used many of your recipes!

[@vanessadyson7031]

Love double duty meals! I'll use leftover meatloaf in my chili, too, and in my spaghetti sauce 👍. And meatloaf sandwiches? Yummo😁. Thank you for your encouraging videos

[@annatroxel3327]

My sister and are both really into meal morphing. Which is to say, creatively using leftovers into first overs.

[@shellykp33]

You totally unlocked a childhood memory with that pea salad! I haven't eaten that in decades!

[@melaniecoonce6113]

Hi, Kristin!! I just started watching your videos a couple days ago, because I wanted to start learning stuff about meal prep, and planning. I love cooking, and I plan on packing lunches for my boyfriend when we move in together and you give me so much inspiration! Thank youu!!

[@sonyahubbard3226]

He’s a well-fed man for sure 👏🏼

[@melindadye4918]

I love the Italian pinwheel idea! Definitely going to give that a try!

[@Magpieme98]

I always get so excited when I see that you’ve posted a lunchbox video! I don’t like spending money 💵 on buying lunch, so I love getting new ideas. Your videos have inspired me and now I have a much better variety of lunches. Thank you for sharing. Josh is a lucky duck. 🌺 hugs from Mary in Florida.

[@nataliewaters3176]

Hey Kristin, I don’t make lunches for my husband to take to work but we do watch your lunch vlogs for ideas together and then often eat them together too. So we love your vlogs!! Thank you so much! Keep them coming please 😁

[@bonniepwtf]

I should know better than to watch these when I'm already hungry, lol. Clever idea with the chili. That corn looked so good, everything did. I want sausage biscuits now. Josh is a very lucky guy to have you as his wife, you are so thoughtful with those lunches.

[@KristinStepp]

Thank you so much! 💗

[@mjackson780]

I have the the same apple slicer but prefer to use a knife. I used to make snacks for a preschool. I found that if you rinse the apple slices and then soak for a couple of minutes in a lemon lime soda (7 up, Sprite etc) it greatly cuts down on the browning process. This is a great use for soda that has gone flat and undrinkable. I have even used diet drinks before. The type of apple can make a difference too. Gala holds up well. I tried different types of apples, even Honey Crisp. The kids would ask me to go back to the old apples (Gala), said they liked them better.

[@apeeples22]

The left over meatloaf chili is genius. I would’ve never thought of doing that and it seems like a good way to make food stretch.

[@mcg267]

Love the meatloaf idea! My mom used to mash it up and make “goulash” with it. 🥰

[@jacquelynncarter2871]

I soak my apple slices in a little bit of salt water for about 5-10 minutes to keep them from browning for my lunches and it seems to work great!

[@Jakilyn]

Love all these lunch ideas! So sweet that you pay attention to what your husband likes and make his lunch for him💕

[@stephanieperez571]

You’re a better wife than me! I open up a bagged salad mix and put it in a Tupperware and send my guy with that for lunch 😂 Sometimes I cut up a cucumber lol

[@kims1941]

I'm glad I don't have to think of lunches to prepare. I hope he appreciates all the time and prep you go through.

[@ajmtapia319]

That chicken and pinwheels looked so good. I never thought to add a little Italian dressing to the cream cheese, great idea.

[@Sara_OHH]

My husband watches these with me while I cut his hair. They're so addicting. Thank you for the video!

[@katia6289]

Hey Kristen you should do more breakfast ideas! Love your videos and your recipes are truly chef’s kiss!

[@chrisholzhauer3698]

Maybe it's my preference but I love hearing a southern accent. It's a familiar comfort I don't always hear anymore with how many transplants live in my area. Southern women just have a way of speaking that keeps me listening. Keep up the videos, you're doing great!

[@amberspencer2443]

With my HB casserole, I always put crushed up frosted flakes on top instead of regular corn flakes. It's always a huge hit at family parties.

[@grittygret1201]

'Soon as I saw the tomato slices I KNEW they had to be homegrown! The best ever! Ky gals like us know these things ;)

[@patriciahagedorn5694]

I love watching your videos. You are such a great cook. Your lunches are the best. So many great ideas. Can't wait to try them. The roll up looked delicious. I also make chili or tacos with leftover meat loaf. Always so good. Your hubby is one lucky guy to have you. I hope he appreciates all the great lunches you make.

[@theologyschooldropout2462]

[@meloi661]

I can tell you make your husband lunches with so much love. A lovely wife. I’m sure he loves your lunches.

[@scrapstampcreate]

The pea salad reminds me of family get together when I was little. One of my aunts always brought it for the pot luck.

[@taylorjordan8977]

I grew up with “cheesy potatoes” which is what you made. But with diced potatoes, sautéed onions added in, and topped with corn flakes that were mixed in butter so they don’t burn. Some people call them funeral potatoes. Super delicious and the corn flakes give it a nice crunch! I put it in for about 40 minutes at 375, check it, then put tin foil on so it doesn’t burn and put it back in for another 5-10 minutes. Taste amazing. I love watching your videos. You give me new ideas on what to pack for lunches and for dinner!!

[@KristinStepp]

I have made those once before and they were amazing!! & thank you so much!

[@Jordynlr]

I always add some ranch seasoning in my hashbrown casserole and crushed ritz crackers on top. So good!

[@francesiaclemons7670]

I love mustard or strawberry jelly on my sausage biscuits. Also hashbrown casserole is hands down amazing. I love your videos can't wait to make some of these for my family.

[@elenasegura5759]

Thank you so much for sharing!! I pack my husband’s lunch as well and these lunches gave me great ideas!! ☺️

[@beckyholbrook7395]

Try soaking your apple slices in 7-up or sprite. No lemony taste and it works!

[@alicetaylor3275]

I am always looking for ideas for my husbands lunches. Great video !! And I love the peanut butter and jelly sandwich with the chili .. I have even put a little peanut butter and jelly in my chili before .. try it .. I know it sounds crazy. I thought it was the first time I heard about it but it’s awesome 😎

[@dradcliffe]

I've done the pea salad with the canned peas too. I've found I have really good results if I not only drain but rinse the peas as well. Mine always gets less watery that way. Thanks for sharing!

[@murphy81775]

OMGosh - I also grew up eating that hashbrown casserole in KY! I remember having it topped with corn flakes sometimes, too. It's so good! I now serve it along with our Easter ham.

[@amberpowell3423]

For the apples turning brown you can use Apple juice as well just soak the apples in apple juice for a couple mins or store in fridge overnight

[@mayganbeckles5223]

Hi Kristin. I want to tell you I am new to watching your videos and they have been so fun to watch. I was looking for ideas to fix up my lunchbox for work. I want to say you are so creative.

Great lunch ideas! I appreciate and use many of your recipes for my sons lunch. Great job!

[@annatroxel3327]

Best best way to keep apples from turning brown and NOT ending up too tart is to toss them with a very small amount of crystal light lemonade powder or a similar lemonade powder. The citric acid will keep them from turning brown, the sugar substitute keeps things from being too sour or sugar sticky. I know where some folks will use 7Up but basically it's the same thing, while adding extra sugars to the lovely fruit. This is also a way to stretch the life of fresh berries!

[@bayeats5428]

Every meal looks so delicious. I got my yoga container from the Container Store about a year ago and I have not used it yet.

would definitely recommend the costco croissants if there’s a costco near you! they’re so delicious, and $6 for a dozen

[@1honestmom]

Actually the trick to not browning your apples is adding a little salt into water and mix. Drop the apples in and take it out. They don’t turn brown without the lemon juice flavor (I don’t like lemon juice either).
