Thanks so much for sharing your Christmas cooking and celebrations with your family. I loved watching your food prep and cooking. You have a gorgeous family. Happy New Year Jen and I am so looking forward to your channel updates this year. Love and hugs from Australia 🇦🇺
Happy New Year from NZ, have just recently found your videos, wonderful, so many great ideas that I can use when the children go back to school in February, now to find the little dip cups here.
You are such an awesome cook Jennifer....wish I loved to cook....you do inspire me to want to cook more though....Happy new year to you and your family!
New subscriber....I may have missed this --- but if you place turkey in the oven frozen --- what do you do with the bag on the inside with the liver, gizzard ?
Your cookies looked awesome. My cookies taste good (I agree with pulling them out early for sure) however my cookies always come out flat, I don’t know why! 🤷🏼♀️ your food just looked amazing! And those pies!! Wow
You actually made me want turkey again when I thought I was all over it!!! Ohhh but that salad!!!! I can’t wait to make that!!! Then I wondered how my big yellow bowl got to your house!! Lol!
We also love that layered salad & have made it with chicken or turkey in place of the ham & salami & other ways too. It always tastes great no matter the ingredients. The only difference for me is to toss the pasta with some of the dressing before I layer it in. Sometimes I just make extra of the dressing or sometimes use ranch or blue cheese. We just like the pasta to be coated with the dressing & not dry. And yes, get yourself an egg slicer! LOL Thanks so much for sharing your meal.
Do you like the McCormick spice rack? I have been eyeing it on amazon....but not sure if it is worth the money. Love your videos.....I am in southern mn. I like seeing Hyvee hauls. You do not see that often on TH-cam 😁
Sue here: Jen - yay for fresh whole nutmeg! MY husband finally you d some at the grocery and bought me two jars 😀. Your easy suppers look just perfect. A share: winter fruit salad (pineapple and mandarins oranges) are winners topped with a dollop of lime sherbet - a hint from an old cookbook. Thank you again for your fun well made videos. 💚
In one of your videos you ask for things we had learned from cooking. I find that instead of getting a big 25 lb Tom turkey if you get two 12 to 14 lb hens it will feed the same amount of people, have twice as many drums to go around, cook in less time, usually in the same dish/amount of space and be twice as tender. Also a few drops of yellow food coloring will make your gravy prettier. (Kitchen bouquet for a brown gravy). Enjoyed watching !
next time try giving you pasta a ice bath after the are finish cooking, you are getting non-sticky pasta and they will not drain you dish for dressing..
Thank you for another great video! I really enjoy your meal prep tips and the recipes you share :). Happy New Year to you and your family from a fellow scrapbooker.
You are so awesome. Lol I just wanted to say that. I’m not usually a commenter but your channel has become my favorite channel to keep up with on TH-cam! You’re so motivating and you really do inspire me and make cooking and cleaning more enjoyable. I cook for one so it isn’t so fun when you don’t have people around to chat with or hang with while you cook/clean lol. You’re my role model, you have the best down to earth natural personality on camera and I believe the most productive person I’ve ever seen. Haha. Ok I’ll quit fan girling haha. 💕 God bless.
I love baking big meals! I’m totally intrigued by baking a frozen turkey. I will try it. Thanks for the 8 layer salad recipe from Pinterest. I will be making that soon.
I love my meal planner. I've had it for a couple months, but I got it using the coupon code you provided. Thank you! My aunt made the best chocolate chip cookies, and i think she used half butter, half Crisco.
Did you just make another video so people can be asses??? Lmao! 😜 Btw...thank you for making the coconut creme pie...my mom passed on the 28th and this was her favorite pie! Im glad I know how to make it now!! 😘
All of the food looks great, I love watching you meal prep and I love your style of cooking. You do so much for your family and you never seem to get tired, reminds me of my mom. Your kids will remember all the great meals and everything you did for them in the name of love for many years to come. I love your attitude and commitment to "getting things done". I'm a nurse too and I understand the culture of wanting to help people and make it better. I know you're on the administrative end of nursing now, but I'm sure you were a great bedside nurse as well. It shows in the way you take care of your family. You are successful because of the genuine love, respect, and commitment you have and it comes across in your videos. Keep doing what you do, much love.
What a Feast! I always forget about scalloped potatoes... they are so good too! That layered salad looks amazing too! Try the Dark chocolate almond milk... my daughter likes that one way better than the regular chocolate...
Thanks for sharing your Holiday get together with us and especially the recipes...I can't wait to try the broccoli cass.(I think I'll use tostitos medium queso cheese and possibly add rotisserie chicken to make a meal out of it)And coconut pie! Happy Holidays to you and your family
Hi Jen Thanks for sharing...the 8 layer salad looks so inviting! I am going to make this for Sunday brunch with the ladies at church...Thanks so much for all of the recipes 💚💜💙❤
I’ve been making that same stuffing for years as well! Definitely drying the bread in the oven is the way to go, I just tried letting it dry overnight last week for this stuffing and the end result was mushy stuffing cause the bread wasn’t dry enough!
Everything looked delicious! I loved seeing that little hand sneak in there to take the cookie dough beater! You have such a beautiful family and I want to thank you for sharing them with us!
Jen, Although I follow a low carb lifestyle I just LOVE your videos. You are definitely my fave in the kitchen and you have taught me so much about prep. Im just sad that I wasn’t at that amazing dinner you and your family shared. Thank you so much for teaching me so many organized short cuts in my kitchen. I wish you were around teaching me when my kiddos were little. But heyyy, it works for the Grands! Happy New Year! God Bless!
I love fareway! They pay their workers really well. I worked there for a few months when I first moved here. They started at 13.45 an hour. Hyvee started at 9.00 an hour. I have both in my town. I just go to fareway because they price match and have their shelves marked already.
Hi Murphy. We had the same rolls. I take a small amount of Crisco on my hands and coat each roll before putting in pan to rise. So they don't dry out before baking the when done we put a nice spread of butter on top.
Hi Jennifer! I just found your channel and am loving your videos! You said in one video that you live in Iowa, I am wondering which part? I am in Storm Lake; I grew up in Sioux City.
Fareway sounds a lot like Butera in the Chicago suburbs. It's the grocery store you run to when you don't have a ton of time to go to the grocery store. That salad looks amazeballs!!
Next time you make the pie - or have random egg whites to use up - make Ina Garten's coconut macaroons!! I make them every year for Hanukkah and they are a huge hit. Egg whites, vanilla, sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut - that's it!
Screen was green for a while @16:05
I’m not sure why that happens sometimes with longer videos! If anyone can help, I’m using PowerDirector :(
Take a look hereq: Video quality forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/48939.page
I thought it was my iPad messing up.
Yeah, green screen has happened to me too I always think it’s my phone going cray cray 😜 but now I know and I’ll wait til it goes away.
I want a “Jennifer Teaches Knife Skills” video. Like if you agree!
Omg Jen- please adopt me so I can eat all of your yummy food! I promise to do the dishes and clean!!!
Lol yes!
It’s August, but this popped up on my feed so I decided to watch....now I’m eager for the holidays!🤶🏻🎅🏼
I have never heard of the 8 Layers Salad but I have heard 7 Layer Bars. The salad looks delicious. I will definitely have to try it out.
I watched this video after a long day at work and found watching you food prep and the voice over super relaxing😆. The food looked delicious too.
Jen, you should use your food processor for all your chopping. Really makes quick work of chopping! Just a suggestion!
Why is it so relaxing watching you chopping food up,could watch a whole video with you just chopping.is it just me 😁
Thanks so much for sharing your Christmas cooking and celebrations with your family. I loved watching your food prep and cooking. You have a gorgeous family. Happy New Year Jen and I am so looking forward to your channel updates this year. Love and hugs from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Christine!
Great video. Love these cooking videos! Thanks girl. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year from NZ, have just recently found your videos, wonderful, so many great ideas that I can use when the children go back to school in February, now to find the little dip cups here.
I need that salad! And everything else lol. Awesome video!
Love seeing u cook, even things I dont normally eat I'm like oh I'd try that! U look like a pro!
I got tickled at your helper in the background! HA Wonderful video, everything looked sooooo good!
Well make an extra plate next year. I am coming, everything looks great and appreciate you sharing the recipes.
Can you do some recipes using your Dutch oven? I have one but I'm not sure what to cook in it.
That was the cutest when you showed Murphy. Lol. So cute.
Yum! Thx for sharing. I've never made sausage stuffing but I think I'm going to try this recipe!
Murphy is so cute and hopeful for something to be dropped 😁 My dog Story does the same thing. So pumped for a good long video! Keep up the great work!
Jen I could watch you all day💞
I watched this whole video as I made Zuppa Toscana for dinner! Love your content!!
Jen. How do you get the goblet pack out of the inside?
Happy New Year!! Ordering the "mini' planner- I have her large one- and still using. But love the small for my purse. Nice recipes!!
WOW, IT ALL LOOKS SO SO YUMMY!!!
You are such an awesome cook Jennifer....wish I loved to cook....you do inspire me to want to cook more though....Happy new year to you and your family!
Thank you Sheila!
I could totally eat that entire pan of stuffing. It’s my weakness. 😂😂😂
I love your videos. You stay so organized while cooking, gives me hope, lol.
Love watching ur videos!!! So relaxing. Murphy is so cute 🐶
New subscriber....I may have missed this --- but if you place turkey in the oven frozen --- what do you do with the bag on the inside with the liver, gizzard ?
Leave it in :)
Your cookies looked awesome. My cookies taste good (I agree with pulling them out early for sure) however my cookies always come out flat, I don’t know why! 🤷🏼♀️ your food just looked amazing! And those pies!! Wow
jennifer izett if you use all butter your cookies will spread out flat. Try subbing about 1/4 margarine or shortening for 1/4 of the butter.
You actually made me want turkey again when I thought I was all over it!!! Ohhh but that salad!!!! I can’t wait to make that!!! Then I wondered how my big yellow bowl got to your house!! Lol!

That’s a great idea, thanks!!
Love your videos.
You are a fabulous cook and party planner all this looked delish! Happy New Year💞
Your videos inspired me to create my own channel, doing keto cook with me. Thank you Jennifer
Awesome!!
Do you like the McCormick spice rack? I have been eyeing it on amazon....but not sure if it is worth the money. Love your videos.....I am in southern mn. I like seeing Hyvee hauls. You do not see that often on TH-cam 😁
I just love your videos!!
Thank you Kayla!
Holy Amazing Spread!!! I want to be your friend and invited to your house!!! LOL
What did your t-shirt say? 😄

I have been looking and waiting for this video! YESSS!
when you said you cooked it for 12 hours I immediately thought of Christmas vacation when they carved the turkey and it busted wide open🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing 👍
next time try giving you pasta a ice bath after the are finish cooking, you are getting non-sticky pasta and they will not drain you dish for dressing..
Hi Jen, I have watched every one of your videos. And i just love you ! i hope i am as amazing of a mother as you. Thank you!
Thank you so much :)
Murphy needs a snack :)
Crisco shortening is great for chocolate chip cookies, but do use the butter flavor
Thank you for another great video! I really enjoy your meal prep tips and the recipes you share :). Happy New Year to you and your family from a fellow scrapbooker.
Thank you!
Loved everything about this video!
Wow what delicious food xx
OOooooooo do you have a video coming of the tamale making with your sister??? Please please please!!!!
Yes!
Very nice, Jen! Everything looked yummy good...and leave it to kids to make the day that much more special. :-D HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

You should try making sausage stuffing with brioche bread, it's divine!
All of your recipes look great, per usual. Hope you had a great Christmas!
I love my meal planner. I've had it for a couple months, but I got it using the coupon code you provided. Thank you! My aunt made the best chocolate chip cookies, and i think she used half butter, half Crisco.

This was so fun. Felt like a family holiday when the grownups would cook. Now I'm the grown up lmfao it's not as fun!!
Jen, get yourself a good cutting board. I notice that you are chopping on the island top. Down through the years you will ruin it.
Its butcher block :) So it’s meant to be cut on. They are fairly inexpensive so if I have to replace it in 5-10 years I will.
What a Feast! I always forget about scalloped potatoes... they are so good too! That layered salad looks amazing too! Try the Dark chocolate almond milk... my daughter likes that one way better than the regular chocolate...

Hi Jen
Thanks for sharing...the 8 layer salad looks so inviting! I am going to make this for Sunday brunch with the ladies at church...Thanks so much for all of the recipes 💚💜💙❤
I hope you like it! It is so good!
@@Jen-Chapin Thanks, Jen 😄

OMG. The food looked amazing. I don't eat that way any longer, but, I had to rewatch the food set up a couple of times.
Hey Jen! Love your vids 😊 sounds like you already know about the green screen. Ps Murphy is too cute
Awesome video! I'm a new subscriber and find we cook a lot alike. ♥️
Thank you!
So nice. I’m going to try the scalloped potatoes and the coconut cream pie. Yummy
Ooh yummy. Tfs. Is hubby camera shy? Never get to see his shining face.
yep ;)
I found squeezable garlic at Aldi today. I was so excited!
Love you videos, you really inspire me to do meal prep on Sundays. Thank you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Great video, thanks for sharing
The ladies in your family look so much alike! Your food looked delicious :) thanks for sharing !
Everything looked delicious! I loved seeing that little hand sneak in there to take the cookie dough beater! You have such a beautiful family and I want to thank you for sharing them with us!
Lovely. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great new year!
Murphy looks adorable :)
......your videos are great!
Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
It looks great. Thanks for giving us such good recipes!
Lovely family!!! This was such a treat, nice and long :)
Awww Murphy! He’s so sweet :) love your channel so much Jen!
My little food chopper comes in handy when I need my produce cut up finely.
Everything looked delicious also great ideas thank you.

Jen why don’t you live in New York lol (rhetorical question)?!?!! But everything looks amazing...thanks for posting and Happy new Year 💕
Thank you!!
I think I got my egg slicer from the dollar store and I love it.
I would love to know what equipment you use for vlogging and where you got the Alton B inspired salt container. Thanks and Happy New Year!
It was a gift I’m not sure! I have a canon vixia video camera and an iPhone 8s.
Yum Yum it all looks fantastic, great job!!!!
I love fareway! They pay their workers really well. I worked there for a few months when I first moved here. They started at 13.45 an hour. Hyvee started at 9.00 an hour. I have both in my town. I just go to fareway because they price match and have their shelves marked already.
