Yaaassss ALSO‼️. We (both retired so hubby cooks too) cook at least 2 meals every day and I cannot imagine my hubby having to pull the toaster out of the cabinet (just an example). I’ve tried keeping the bread products in a covered box but retired hubby just can’t seem to comply. He is know for being a brilliant engineer but a tidy desk etc, well sadly not happening… 😍I e learned to pick my battles. ALL THIS TO SAY, WE ACTUALLY LIVE IN OUR HOUSE 👵🏻
I love how you show your house in it's "real life" state instead of when everything is tidy & perfect! Question about caprese salad- do you ever make or eat it with balsamic vinegar?
My family made Swiss steak with elk meat it was a very dry meat, but less fatty and we got a full freezer every year so it was a blessing for sure! Thank for all you do I love hearing all you're tips, ideas, and you're life you have really helped encourage me throughout 2020 and now 2021! Thanks again!
Every time I see that desk all I can think is how perfect it would be for a coffee bar. I made one in my kitchen a few years ago and will never go back to the mess on a counter
Girl, that’s not mess, you have squids, that’s life! ❤️ a home is lived in and yours is beautiful. P.S. Please tell Murphy he’s the best boy and I love him ❤️😂
I love Swiss Steak! Had it as a child and now make it for my kids! I cook mine in the instapot because I use my mom's recipe and she used to cook hers in a pressure cooker. We serve ours over white rice. So yummy!
I love your attitude! Your house is not "messy!" It's "lived in!" Someone told me that once and I have never forgotten it. Never heard of Swiss steak before!
I love watching your videos. It amazes me how much you get done. Makes me want to get up and do something. Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week.
My mom made Swiss steak while I grew up and I used to make it all the time until we became empty nesters. Well guess what, I’m going to make it this weekend! I make mine like my mom did. With the meat and tomato sauce I also cook it with onions, potatoes and carrots. Connors room will be such a cool boys room! Love you Jen.
I make something we call Swiss steak but I use a brown gravy with mushrooms. I think I’m supposed to call it Salisbury steak. My mom used to make the one you make though, but my family doesn’t like it too much. She used to use like stewed tomatoes to cook it in. I liked it. I use cubed steak, but she always used round steak and tenderized it with the side of a small plate and best flour into it.
My mom always made Swiss steak with mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup and a package onion soup mix. I know there has been a debate about tomato based versus the cream based Swiss steak. I appreciate that you share your real life lived in home. Hope you have a great vacation.
Enjoyed the video,As I ALWAYS do! Your flowers are So Pretty!🌸🌼🌸 Love your crocs!😍😍 Looking forward to your great ideas for Connor's room!💙 Thank you for sharing....Heyyy Murphy!🐶
Fun thing to try next time you buy a fresh papaya - Save the seeds on the inside and dry them outside...grind up and use like black pepper! They have a very peppery but yummy flavor profile!
I have never seen your channel before but the mashed potatoes and corn shot made me do it, I will come back to your channel because I got a tour of a real house with stuff on the counters. Have a good day.
We call it cube steak in my house. I grew up eating it with ketchup (it was a cheap meal in our house). My husband likes to throw it in the crock pot with french onion soup and it's delicious
A suggestion, you could put shelves in at the desk where you would put the chair. Then it would just become part of the kitchen storage and prep area and not so much a desk
I made caprese salad earlier this summer after I watched you make it and added a little red pepper flakes like you do. Never did that before but now never make it without adding it! Such a nice kick in all that fresh salad. Just love all your cooking tips!
So good to see a normal house, homes are made for living and living is messy. I am a nester, wherever I sit I have a sh..load of essential stuff around me😜
Hi Jen, I remember my sweet mom making Swiss steak when we were younger, I really love it. You are so adorable and funny. Thanks for a great video, love Rita from Largo, Fl.❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
Your swiss steak looks good. We had this growing up but my Grandma would fix it in the crock pot with onions, green peppers and fresh/canned tomatoes and of course round steak. I've never had it in the oven, I'm going to try your version! Looking forward to seeing Connor's room makeover. He's so fun!
The Swiss steak reminds me of steak pizzaiola that I grew up eating. We didn’t use those kinds of steaks though. I always wondered what those little round steaks were used for. So maybe I will try it your way. Thanks for the idea!
Our Swiss steak was different. My mom never used tomato based anything.. she used mushrooms and onions an beef broth an made a gravy an put it over mashed potatoes or her other way was to use BBQ sauce an make BBQ minute steaks! Get a great BBQ base you love an put your steak's in the crockpot an cook for hour's or put in pressure cooker an you can put them on burger buns an call them BBQ beef steaks.
I think swiss steak is a Midwestern thing, my mom is from Michigan. My mom used to make it when I was a kid! But no tomatoes....mushrooms and a beef gravy...DELICIOUS!
I grew up eating cube steak with a mushroom sauce. I went on Pinterest because I was curious about different recipes. We did more of a white sauce with mushrooms as opposed to a brown sauce. I never really thought about the different ways to prepare it. It looks really good with a tomato sauce.
We eat our “cubed steak” fries with flower like that, but we make a milk/cream gravy to simmer it in. Thank your showing your non perfect house! It makes us all feel better. PSA Tillamook has ice cream!!!!!!!! 🤤 cookies n’ cream is great and I am trying to wait till next month to try other flavors lol. Connor is so sweet (cool) picking out all his stuff! That is the best age! They still want it hang out.
Thank you so much for sharing your house…real life! I feel like mine is always a mess and I can never get caught up. I mean dishes are washed and beds are always made but I feel like there is always something that needs cleaned. Hard to do when you only have 2 days off and try to cram all the housework into those days😩 my kids are older and have full time jobs and school as well plus one has a side photography business. I don’t know how so many women get it all done lol!!! I’m on the struggle bus.
We have cows and so we process a cow every year, we get some cuts into “cube steak” which looks just like your minute steaks. I guess we just call them different things throughout the country, I’m in NC. We do cube steaks and white gravy for breakfast, or dinner. I’ve never had it with a sauce like that, definitely have to try it 😊 I always trust a Jen Chaplin recipe 👍🏻
I love swiss steak. I used to make it all the time when the kids were little. I haven't made it in a quite a while. I have some minute steaks in the freezer that I'm definitely going to make into swiss steaks.
I have never made Swiss steak but my Mom does and it is good. She makes it with brown gravy. We have crap on our counters and coffee table. We eat on at our bar so I try to keep that clean.
I swear we have the same life! haha Yup, I grew up on swiss steak, it is so good! I make it too, it is such a comfort meal. And we had our Border Collie try out doggie day care last week for the first time as we are going away for a week and my friend who usually watches her can't. And yup, my house has crap on all the counters too lol So it is so nice to see you 'normalize' everyday life!
Funny, I just tried making for the first time Chicken Fried Steak last week. It was pretty good! We like making minute steaks. Will try your swiss steak next time.
I’m laying on my sheetless bed exhausted! My 9 year old has a bad stomach bug and was in my room when hit! #momlife and accepting the mess-in full force over here!
Had that happen when my daughter was young, she still remembers that as an adult because it had been such a terrible time and we were so tired I got up threw a towel over it and we rolled to the other side of the bed. Real life gets you. I hope everyone is better.
Sue here: yes, we grew up with swiss steak and mashed potatoes too! This video - wow! You are super. I wish I could reach in through the laptop and clean the rest of the house 🏠 for you though. I love to clean. Thank you Jen. We don't have to live in a magazine picture environment. Our homes are to live in ... albeit clean and healthy, yet comfy. 👍
I switched both of my dogs over to solid gold a couple months ago, including supplements, and they love it! I can tell a difference, especially in their digestion. I'm also in the process of switching my 2 adult cats over to it and also my new kitten.
thats my favorite broth base brand i buy it in beef, chicken and aus jus ... they make veggie ones also i believe but none of my stores carry it ... u can find it on amazon though
Did you know you can eat the seeds from the papaya?? I learned that when my sister sent me 10 lb from Hawaii. U dry them and use them as a pepper substitute.
I enjoy your videos so much but I won’t lie, when Murphy makes an appearance it just makes my day 💕🐶
Agree!
Same🙂
Can't wait to see Connor's room makeover. This was a great video! Do you have your vacation all planned out, like driving vs flying, etc?
My favorite Jen Chapin quote of 2021: “Just normalize having crap on your counters” YASSS SISTER. AMEN!
Haha yes real people!
Yaaassss ALSO‼️. We (both retired so hubby cooks too) cook at least 2 meals every day and I cannot imagine my hubby having to pull the toaster out of the cabinet (just an example).

That reminds me of having meals like this growing up, and I always put my corn into my mashed potatoes because I liked the texture difference.
I have got my sister hooked on your videos. She says your voice is very soothing 😌 🤗
Love seeing Murphy. And thanks for always keeping it real girl. It really makes the difference. 💗
Organizing is so satisfying 👍
Thanks for showing your house! Your home is lived in….and that I what happens when you work full time and have a family!!!
A lived-in home is the best kind of home!!!
I love how you show your house in it's "real life" state instead of when everything is tidy & perfect! Question about caprese salad- do you ever make or eat it with balsamic vinegar?

So happy to get some Jen inspiration! Thank you!

Thank you for showing your "lived-in" house. It truly makes me feel better!! 🤣
I love Swiss Steak! Had it as a child and now make it for my kids! I cook mine in the instapot because I use my mom's recipe and she used to cook hers in a pressure cooker. We serve ours over white rice. So yummy!
I love your cleaning videos. They are so satisfying to watch! 😀
I love your attitude! Your house is not "messy!" It's "lived in!" Someone told me that once and I have never forgotten it.
Never heard of Swiss steak before!
YES! Your home is your home to live in, NOT a sterile staged unrealistic showroom for a magazine.
I LOVED the “messy” house tour!!! Yesss girl, rock the lived-in home!!!!
Aww we got to see Murphy💕🐾
I love watching your videos. It amazes me how much you get done. Makes me want to get up and do something. Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week.

Murphy's side eye at you when he was laying on the sofa 😂
Murphy said….. “ I didn’t sign up for that daycare, mom”…. “ I’m ticked. Not tired” !!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@EleanorRoseRyan 😂😂😂
Enjoyed the video,As I ALWAYS do! Your flowers are So Pretty!🌸🌼🌸 Love your crocs!😍😍 Looking forward to your great ideas for Connor's room!💙 Thank you for sharing....Heyyy Murphy!🐶
Just what I needed while I'm writing payroll checks...a Jen video! Thank you for the card. Your awesome!
How about moving all the coffee stuff over to that underused desk area. We did that pretty successfully and love it!
My first house had a desk built in to the kitchen which I thought I would love but it became the dumping spot too 🤦♀️
Fun thing to try next time you buy a fresh papaya - Save the seeds on the inside and dry them outside...grind up and use like black pepper! They have a very peppery but yummy flavor profile!

Hi Jen!! Yes, the Nutpod Hazelnut Creamer is on Thrive Market!! Love your videos and see Murphy from time to time!!
Hiii Jen!!
My grandmother used to make swiss steak..love Connor's Marvel canvas..
We call it cube steak in my house. I grew up eating it with ketchup (it was a cheap meal in our house). My husband likes to throw it in the crock pot with french onion soup and it's delicious
Perfect timing, was looking for something to watch as I cook dinner.
A suggestion, you could put shelves in at the desk where you would put the chair. Then it would just become part of the kitchen storage and prep area and not so much a desk
Papya or as we call it in Australia pawpaw , is lovely with lime juice on it. Had it that way in Hawaii and was converted!
I made caprese salad earlier this summer after I watched you make it and added a little red pepper flakes like you do. Never did that before but now never make it without adding it! Such a nice kick in all that fresh salad. Just love all your cooking tips!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼
Your kitchen desk/dumping ground could be a nice coffee station
Great idea!!
I've not had Swiss steak since I was a kid. Guess I'll have to cook it for us. Thanks for sharing Jen.
The Swiss steak looks really good Jen!
Great video Jen! Thanks, love your channel!
I'm so glad you are a normal utupe mom ,your house is lived in ,not like these show houses we see with other u tubers moms ,just love ❤ your channel
Yes! Let our children grow up knowing & SEEING it's ok to have a house that WORKS.
Nice to watch your video, its 22.50 and to late to do anything, but enjoyed and can't wait for wee man's room organisation...from Scotland xx
My kitchen desk is a definite dumping ground!!!
I don’t make Swiss steak often but it’s definitely a nostalgic recipe!
I wish I had a Menards near me…it seems like such a fun place where you can buy almost anything! 😁
So good to see a normal house, homes are made for living and living is messy. I am a nester, wherever I sit I have a sh..load of essential stuff around me😜
Hi Jen, I remember my sweet mom making Swiss steak when we were younger, I really love it. You are so adorable and funny. Thanks for a great video, love Rita from Largo, Fl.❤️❤️😘😘😘😘

We had Swiss Steak all the time with cream of mushroom soup. They still serve it at the school I work at.
Swiss steak was my favorite and often my birthday meal growing up!

Swiss steak reminds me of Sunday dinner at my grandparents house
I grew up on swiss steak. Difference I do is also add sliced green bell peppers. Is amazing, family favorite!!
I love Swiss Steak! My mother in law makes it for me for my birthday
I've never heard of Swiss steak or minute steaks but it looks delicious!!! 🤤
I ordered the black and white shirt you’re wearing from Torrid, and I love it

Hello, yes swiss steak, gravy, and rice a childhood dish. Also mom made liver and onions too.
Never had Swiss steak I’m from the south we have cubed steak. Looks delicious definitely need to try and make this.

Never had this but sounds good. We had cube steak cooked til tender in brown gravy.
Never had it but have heard the name. My mom made something like that in a skillet with gravy
We call that cube steak in NC!
TN here and I came to say this 🤣
Funny, I just tried making for the first time Chicken Fried Steak last week. It was pretty good! We like making minute steaks. Will try your swiss steak next time.
I’m laying on my sheetless bed exhausted! My 9 year old has a bad stomach bug and was in my room when hit! #momlife and accepting the mess-in full force over here!

I’ve never had Swiss steak before. It looked yummy! I haven’t had Olive Garden in forever. It’s so good!
It really is!

Love swiss steak. We call the meat cube steaks. Must serve with mashed potatoes and green beans. Yum!!
I haven't seen that sunbird lomein seasoning but I really enjoy the fried rice seasoning from that brand.
I didnt know you could get liquid Bar Keepers Friend. I'll look for it here too.
I may of missed it but whappened to the hydro grower thing....it looked like a lot of work!!
I still have it and use it!
I loved today's video.
I'm Swiss and I had steak before but I never had Swiss steak😂😂It looks delicious!!
Do you still have the indoor Gardyn? Herbs can grow in it too? Curious if it ended up being more of a hassle to clean
Yes I do still have it!
thats my favorite broth base brand i buy it in beef, chicken and aus jus ... they make veggie ones also i believe but none of my stores carry it ... u can find it on amazon though
Conner (sorry if that’s spelt wrong) sounds just like you when he said “I don’t know, I just wanted it” haha so cute.
I have never heard of it but it looks delicious

What brand is your Dutch oven pots? Thank you.
Lodge - from Amazon :)
@@Jen-Chapin Thank you so much! ☺️
Hey Murphy 🥰
Great video! Thanks
I've got the same white blue strip shirt
I need recast for a good Dutch oven. Some are relatively cheap and some are expensive . Help please!
Always love your videos. Do you still have the Gardyn hydroponic system? I noticed you have been buying more salads.
Yes I do!
I LOVE swiss steak.. one of my favs. Sadly I gave up red meat. But I make one similar with pork. 😁
I have never heard of Swiss steak. I grew up in Utah. I wonder if it's popular here?
I've never had Swiss steak but we make steak and gravy with minute steaks
I’m glad to see your just normal..with scattered stuff.. real life🤪🤪
