I'm a former chef, and a pound of pasta to feed 6 people is pretty standard. We were actually taught in culinary school that a serving of pasta should be 2 ounces for a side dish, and 3-4 ounces as a main course.This is the amount we used when I worked in catering as well. Since a pound of pasta is 16 ounces, serving six people would only alott 2.6 ounces of pasta each. Which is appropriate since there's meat added to this recipe. Obviously people can eat however much is right for them since everyone's calorie and nutrition needs are different based on their activity levels, age and whatnot. I'm just explaining from a cook's perspective what the standard portion is. When recipes are written we usually use standard serving sizes to help decide how many portions a specific recipe makes.
Egg yolks: When I was learning how to make macarons I had so many yolks leftover. So I ended up making a lemon curd as I also had a lot of lemons from a friends tree. If you don't like sweets lemon curd is really quite nice as it's tart as well as sweet and can be used to make other desserts like lemon meringue pie.
ME TOO........Just discovered Jen and she is awesome. I like that she gives modification tips for kids since I have a 2 yr old grandson who LOVES to help 'Gaga' in the kitchen. My girls aren't much on cooking so I'm trying to win little Owen over to the pleasures of making your own..... over DoorDash deliveries. (UGH!)
Thank you for making this video...I really like how you share your “thoughts” after each recipe. I always like to try recipes but like a real person review. Thanks for this!!
I make the egg cups with Simply Potatoes Shredded Southwest Blend from the refrigerator section at the grocery. Mix them with melted butter before putting in the muffin tins. After putting in the eggs I only put back in the oven until the eggs are set. We like them runny.
I am amazed that Pioneer Woman's Chicken Spaghetti Casserole wasn't in the top ten of her recipes. It is SO GOOD!!! Very delicious & filling & a total comfort food. I saw it on the very first show of hers that I watched. I was in the hospital & happened across her show & this was the recipe she was making on that episode. I called my husband & told him to print the recipe from the website & I wanted that for dinner when I got home. We have made it many times since then & have made it for friends & family if someone was sick or was going through a rough spot of one thing or another. Everyone raves about it!!! I highly recommend it!!!
Love this meal prep! I used to tell my daughter that I added scallions instead of green onions. When she heard onion it turned her off. When it had scallions she was fine with it. Not sure what the difference is but a nice trick. Also if you make the noodle bake maybe blend the white part of the “scallions” in with the cottage cheese you mentioned maybe blending. Thanks for all the videos.
The meat pies are a family favorite here. I double the recipe and put the leftovers into a clear snap container in the fridge. These "leftovers" typically last about 12 hours before they've been eaten up. The only difference I saw was that I get pepper jack cheese slices and lay one on top of the meat before I fold over and seal the pie. Each pie has a yummy amount of cheese that way. Not an entire slice, just enough to fit onto the half before folding. Probably my all time fave PW recipe. Thanks for doing this. Will be trying the pb pie and the raspberry pies for sure.
Egg whites are super easy to freeze. Just put one in each section of an ice cube tray, cover with cling wrap and freeze, then put into a zip lock bag and thaw in the fridge or at room temp when you need them. Egg yolks can be frozen also, but they need to be beaten and have a bit of salt added to them before putting them in the ice cube tray to freeze. If you don't add the salt, they have a tendency to separate if you use them in baking. You can also beat the thawed egg yolks with any sugar in the recipe, making sure they are super smooth before you add any other liquid from the recipe into them. I've never had any problem freezing either one.
Egg yolks - you can avoid them and buy liquid whites in a carton. Or they can be added to dog food, to scrambled eggs, you can make meatballs and use as a binder, you could use them as an wash with water or milk. :) or make custard or ice cream
For everyone who gets in a rut with cooking dinner every night, my husband & I came up with this solution & it has really worked for us. We cook two days in a row & the third day we have the leftovers from the two previous dinner meals & then we repeat. We also try new recipes frequently. If your skeptical about trying new recipes, look for recipes that are similar to ones you've had before.
I've done the muffin cup breakfast cups... I spray my muffin cups, then I use a layer of ham, then crack the egg, then top with the Hashbrowns... comes out super easy every time and are so good... the cook time definitely depends on how you want the egg cooked... hope this helps! So good and reheat so well for fast breakfasts!
Just stumbled onto this video...showed up on my recommendations and I really like your style. You have an excellent presence as you talk us through you process. Also like how you suggested modifications for the kiddies. I'm so impressed!
@@Jen-Chapin :No, thank YOU! It was just my sincere reaction. Never thought you would personally reply. Made my day, dear. I've got some catching up to do on your backlog of vids. Lucky ME! :)
I loved that someone said, “How about the top 10 of Jens recipes!’ I could go for that! I was just gonna mention that I love the eggs n the nest recipe. I’ve made them several times and with good results. However, I used a shortcut…thawed frozen hash browns. I’m not sure if that’s the secret to my success or not but we just loves those cute lil things around here. One more difference is my muffin cups are a darker color so maybe they are non stick? Not sure but I did spray them good as well. Maybe you should give them another try with he frozen potatoes 😋
I saw these top 10 PW recipes in my feed, too, and they all look so good! I'm glad you made them and told us what you all thought of them. The noodle bake is VERY MUCH like a popular Good Housekeeping or Southern Living magazine casserole recipe from the late 70's that my aunt used to make for us when we were kids. The only 2 differences were that old one did not have green onions and it had cream cheese instead of the cottage cheese. I love your idea for the peanut butter pie! Can't wait to see you try that!
I was just telling my daughter yesterday about once you by a kitchen aid mixer you are set my son for Christmas every year buys me a new attachment for it I just love it so so much I’m a new subscriber I really enjoyed your video thanks for sharing Blessings
After watching a few of Ree’s cooking shows I think the reason for her large recipe yields is all the guys that work with her husband on their ranch, plus their 4 kids. They look famished after all that work! You can always make half of them freezer meals Jen. Love your channel! 😍
I am binge watching your videos tonight. That peanut butter pie looks amazing! I love that you used the swerve. Great idea! Thanks for the inspiration!
Ree has a carbonara pasta you could use the yolks in. It’s fast and delicious. The yolk cooks in the very hot right off the boil pasta. So have it ready to toss in the pasta.
Great video, Jen! I like PW recipes, but I love your demo style and especially hearing your real-world review of each recipe. I love seeing recipes that can be divided to share or freeze, like the sour cream noodle bake. We're a small family of 3, so this is a good way for me to divide a big recipe.
I love this video...you are fabulous! I so appreciate this because so often I’ve made some of the Pioneer recipes and they just didn’t turn out...your honesty with these are great. I will definitely be following you and share this with my daughter and her friends. I can’t wait to see more videos like this.
I haven't tried any of Ree's recipes but I love the way her books are formatted. Step by step pictures are great for beginning cooks so I bought one of her books for my daughter.
You can freeze egg whites. I put then in ice cube tray then pop them out and put in baggie and thaw and use for meringue cookies or egg white omelettes. Egg yolks I freeze in baggie in ones or twos and put them in meatloaf or add them to make extra rich scrambled eggs. My family likes homemade cooked pudding so I usually just make a pot of that with the extra yolks.
Jen wow just found you on TH-cam last night! Where have you been all my life?!? Totally appreciate you making and taste testing these recipes. Such a great idea for busy moms who want to make the best recipes for their family! Many thanks to your family for being the taste testers for us as I know kids can be picky 😊. Keep these coming!
Hi Jen, I enjoy your well-crafted vids. I love that you do the voice overs. I can only imagine how much editing and work are involved, but just know it is appreciated. I’m forever looking for a good veggie lasagna. You may have already done that prep, but I just found your channel. Love your humour 😘🇨🇦
Thanks for doing this. I always hate wasting ingredients when I’m not sure if they will turn out ok. Printing out a few of these recipes. Thanks again!!!
I loved that you did this video. I now mainly only watch PW but used to be an avid food network viewer and learned a lot of my mad cooking skills from FN.
Jen Chapin your welcome sweets!! You should do a top ten of Rachel Ray! This was a great video!!. I make egg bites every week I put all the ingrdients in a bowl and mix it I put the frozen hash browns at bottom of my muffin pan and then pour my mixed ingredients over the top and bake it all at once it comes out so much better.. I made some today! Turned out great!
Hi Jen. I've only started watching your videos the last month or so, but am really enjoying them. I love that you are so genuine and natural and not fake. I live in Australia and was curious if your boxes that you get delivered, clothes, cosmetics etc are only available in the U.S? Also, passionfruit curd is lovely made with the egg yolks or even a vanilla custard. They can also be frozen. 😉💗
You can salt cure the egg yolks and use them grated as a kind of cheese substitute. I won't go into detail as many great videos already exist on TH-cam. Just search for salt cured egg yolks. You can also freeze them in ice cube trays and use them later to add a little extra richness to almost any recipe that uses eggs. You can also whip them up a bit and drizzle them into gently simmering soup.
@@Iamhome365 if you do try salt curing eggs,you can add dried herbs to the salt for flavor, but don't bother trying to smoke them. I did that once so you don't have to. They were virtually inedible.😲
You can freeze eggs. If you use an ice cube tray you can pop out and put in a Ziploc and know how many egg yolks or whites you have by counting the cubes. You can also make mayonnaise from egg yolks or custard :)
Great video, loved watching the sped up chopping that was fun. I did lick the beaters. One of my favorite Pioneer Woman recipes is her cheesy olive bread... I used only black olives.
Wow!! Fantastic video!! Home run Jen! Such an original idea. You're one hard working woman. If there was a Jen Chapin energy bar...pretty sure I'd eat it.
Piping bag or Ziploc bag to frost the cupcakes! Love whipped frosting. Look on Pinterest on how to make a box cake mix taste like a bakery cake...super easy. Enjoyed watching all the PW recipes you prepared.
For that sour cream noodle bake, I sub cream cheese for part of the cottage cheese. Takes it over the top. Been making this for years! Got the recipe from a cookbook my grandma gave me probably 20 years ago. It's called "Company Casserole" in that book.
I have made the chocolate peanut butter pie before and I knew it was super rich as made. I would love to try it with the changes you made. Thanks for an amazing video!
Love this video! So helpful to see recipes tested and evaluated. I'm due with my first in two weeks and currently doing some postpartum meal prep. I'm going to whip up a huge batch of that sour cream noodle bake and freeze it. It looks delicious and seems pretty convenient to make. That noodle salad looks so yummy. I make a similar one but with thinly shredded cabbage instead of pasta for an even veggier version. So delicious and great if you're avoiding gluten or cutting carbs.
Ina is my favorite too. When I downsized by 200 cookbook collection (to 25) I kept all of hers. Unfortunately, her recipes are very costly since she uses the highest quality meats & ingredients. Jen is so talented tho, I'll bet she can modify the recipes a bit to make them more budget (and kiddie) friendly.
@@jeanhecker4533 my boys are grown and gone, so I definitely fed growing boys through their teen years! I love her recipes, but even when all six of us are together one recipe usually makes a meal for us twice over with left overs. That really isn't a complaint, I love left overs! I just thought the sizes of her meals were huge, but recognized that she is feeding hard working men who probably burn that off in a few hours!
I make a butter cream with a hand mixer, I mix the butter for a solid 5 mins before I add any sugar so it's doable just more "labour" and time intensive than a stand mixer.. Which I have on my list lol.
The Asian recipe looked delicious, can’t wait to try it, and I appreciate the tip about using parsley instead cilantro if you are like me and not a super fan of it.
Excellent video sweetie!! Omg! I’m literally obsessed!! I’ve made so many of those recipes and really liked them! Do Bobby Flays top 10 or Ina Garden’s top 10.. 😋😋❤️👏
I love to make noodles with the yolks leftover from any dish,. This video was great, and I liked the reviews after eating them too. Homemade noodles are so easy and so delicious!!!. If you hold the yolks until another day, just cover them with cold water. Pour it off before using the eggs. I just found your channel today. thank you for being there.
Make fried rice for a side and use the egg yolks. Or cook them up and add to ur dogs food. I use carrot peels and ends of carrots, green beans, broccoli ends to add to dogs food (steam them in microwave first)!!
As always - great video. Regarding the leftover part of the egg - I usually scramble it and pan fry with no or minimal amount of oil and add to my dogs food - it is a treat and defiantly something that he really likes :)
Jen, I am new to your channel and I have to say what a terrific video. It is nice to see those recipes made by someone who can give their own opinion. Thank you for your time.
This may sound silly, but whenever I start watching other TH-camr meal preppers, I always compare them to you 😬 .. your videos are so informative, and relatable... you explain everything in great detail, even if you've done it already a hundred times on other videos, and I looove that (repetition definitely helps me remember hahaha🙈) I appreciate all of your content!!!!!!! Thank you so much!
I just made 2 of these recipes to use all these peppers my in laws gave us from their garden. I made the Asian noodle salad and the meat pies. The Asian noodle salad I cheated a bit by replacing all the cabbage and carrots with coleslaw mix. I do this all the time with any recipe calling for these ingredients. When it comes to some tasks, I’m unapologetically lazy. And the results were fantastic! The dressing has wonderful flavor. I did scale down the ingredients a bit because I knew it would make too much. The filling for the meat pies is good. I ended up using 1 jalapeño and 1 mystery pepper from the in laws. These peppers aren’t pablanos or jalapeños but are less spicy than pablanos and I thought adding a jalapeño would balance out the flavor but it was still too spicy for my taste so I added a tablespoon spoon of brown sugar. So I didn’t follow the recipe really but the meat filling was good. I haven’t tried the finished product because they are still cooling. The filling is delicious so I think the will be good, but remember I’m lazy and resented assembling these meat pies. Somehow I doubt they will be amazing enough to justify the time I sacrificed. But there is a ton of leftover meat filling and we plan to put it in taco shells later in the week. So will definitely make the noodle salad. Will probably make the meat filling again but probably not go to the trouble of making the pies. I should have known better. And the mess! There’s flour all over the place...
Leftover egg yolks? I love homemade pudding, which calls for egg yolks. You can also add an extra egg yolk to pancake or waffle batter, or french toast mixture, or add extra yolks to scrambled eggs. They will keep a couple of days in the fridge in a covered container.
What a fun video! I have made the eggs in hash brown nests a few times but I used frozen hash brown potatoes. I let then sit on the counter for about 25 minutes so they would be more pliable to form in the muffin pan. I also add garlic and onion powder to the potatoes because we like them that way. My potatoes never stick but I spray them well with the cooking spray and the eggs turn out just right. The only thing I saw in your video was that you pressed them into the muffin tin. Maybe that’s why they stuck? I’m probably not that careful when I make my nests lol, but they haven’t stuck yet. And scrambling the eggs I probably wouldn’t try either. Great video tho…thanks!
Loved your video. Thanks for sharing. With the egg cups I wonder if you could grease and flour (thinly) to keep them from sticking. Just a thought. Take care and God bless.
Love these, my husband will eat anything PW. I like that you give your ideas too because I'm not always sure if we will like it the way it is. And I always cut her recipies in half and still end up with 2 meals for our family of 4.
I used to love Rachel Rays 30 minute meals. That would be awesome to see you do. So, my fav Pioneer Woman recipes are broccoli and cheese soup, tortilla soup, crock pot white chicken chili. Loved this video!
Thanks awesome video. Lemon curd is a good use for leftover egg yolks. As for the chicken pasta, from the Italian point of view, it looked like too much sauce for the amount of pasta. But Americans like it that way - Italians prefer the pasta itself to star.
I’ve made the egg things before and what I did was used cupcake wrappers in between the hash brown and pan so I for sure wouldn’t have them stick because I was not washing that mess 😂 and I only baked them for a total of about 10-12 min on a lower temp.
*Leftover egg yolk 2 ways*- *1. Hollandaise sauce* *2. Hair!!!* *LOOK IT UP!!!* lol I know it sounds crazy, but it'll make your hair stronger and shiny!
When you made this comment, a year ago, is when I first started following you! I revisited this one when it randomly came through my recommended list. Who am I to deny a dose of Jen? 💁♀️😂

Piping bag or Ziploc bag to frost the cupcakes! Love whipped frosting. Look on Pinterest on how to make a box cake mix taste like a bakery cake...super easy. Enjoyed watching all the PW recipes you prepared.
For that sour cream noodle bake, I sub cream cheese for part of the cottage cheese. Takes it over the top. Been making this for years! Got the recipe from a cookbook my grandma gave me probably 20 years ago. It's called "Company Casserole" in that book.
They all look amazing! Thank you for sharing Jen.
I have made the chocolate peanut butter pie before and I knew it was super rich as made. I would love to try it with the changes you made. Thanks for an amazing video!
Love this video! So helpful to see recipes tested and evaluated. I'm due with my first in two weeks and currently doing some postpartum meal prep. I'm going to whip up a huge batch of that sour cream noodle bake and freeze it. It looks delicious and seems pretty convenient to make.
That noodle salad looks so yummy. I make a similar one but with thinly shredded cabbage instead of pasta for an even veggier version. So delicious and great if you're avoiding gluten or cutting carbs.
Thank you!
My favorite is Ina Garten! Though I don't know how kid friendly a lot of her meals are. I want to be her when I "grow up" . I loved this video Jen! 😍
Ina is my favorite too. When I downsized by 200 cookbook collection (to 25) I kept all of hers. Unfortunately, her recipes are very costly since she uses the highest quality meats & ingredients. Jen is so talented tho, I'll bet she can modify the recipes a bit to make them more budget (and kiddie) friendly.
Thank you Amy!
Amy Bennett I love Ina too, but sometimes her recipes call for ingredients you couldn’t find if you wanted to. 😂
Dang!!! You are bringing the content! That was a great video and clearly took a lot of work!! Thanks so much! Love PW recipes!! I have her cookbooks!
Thank you so much!
Great job Jen. I really enjoyed this Video. Thanks for sharing.
I really like this idea of yours. Great to watch you cook. I love trying out new recipes with my family. TFS
What an awesome concept! I really enjoyed watching and would love more like it. Maybe Ina next?🤓 Thanks for this❤
This was an awesome idea! I love the comments of what your family thought of each thing too!
You are cracking in me up about the servings! Wait till your.son is a teenager! He and his friends will eat you out of house !
steff I hear you! I can’t believe the food my son has been going through this summer!
I agree with you girls and, if they were working on a cattle ranch..... I'm surprised one pound in enough.
@@jeanhecker4533 my boys are grown and gone, so I definitely fed growing boys through their teen years! I love her recipes, but even when all six of us are together one recipe usually makes a meal for us twice over with left overs. That really isn't a complaint, I love left overs! I just thought the sizes of her meals were huge, but recognized that she is feeding hard working men who probably burn that off in a few hours!
@@sortathesame8701 Been their done that when teenagers came to eat .know what you are talking about.
I make a butter cream with a hand mixer, I mix the butter for a solid 5 mins before I add any sugar so it's doable just more "labour" and time intensive than a stand mixer.. Which I have on my list lol.
Jen, this is fantastic! I love this type of video! Please do more! 💕

The Asian recipe looked delicious, can’t wait to try it, and I appreciate the tip about using parsley instead cilantro if you are like me and not a super fan of it.
Great video.. One of my favorite pioneer women recipes is her baked Ziti. Super easy, very tasty and feeds 10-12 people or you could freeze one.
This was such a fun video! Just love all your content and how you keep it real.
Excellent video sweetie!! Omg! I’m literally obsessed!! I’ve made so many of those recipes and really liked them! Do Bobby Flays top 10 or Ina Garden’s top 10.. 😋😋❤️👏
I second the Ina vote!!
I love to make noodles with the yolks leftover from any dish,. This video was great, and I liked the reviews after eating them too. Homemade noodles are so easy and so delicious!!!. If you hold the yolks until another day, just cover them with cold water. Pour it off before using the eggs. I just found your channel today. thank you for being there.
Make fried rice for a side and use the egg yolks. Or cook them up and add to ur dogs food. I use carrot peels and ends of carrots, green beans, broccoli ends to add to dogs food (steam them in microwave first)!!
Seriously, Connor sounds like such a sweetheart!
Omg!!!! So excited to watch this; I ❤️ Ree. Is there a top 10 Barefoot Contessa recipe list!?
MrsCouscous great idea!!
Ina is my food network crush.
Egg yolks - lemon bars or key lime pie!
I agree on this!
One of my favourite ever TH-cam videos .. I keep going back to it 😊 please do another pioneer women video soon xx
As always - great video. Regarding the leftover part of the egg - I usually scramble it and pan fry with no or minimal amount of oil and add to my dogs food - it is a treat and defiantly something that he really likes :)
Goya has empanada discs for oven. If you find them at your supermarket you will save the rolling part. Video was awesome!
Thank you!
Long time watcher probably my first comment. I'm hooked I'd love more videos like this. Great content
Jen, I am new to your channel and I have to say what a terrific video. It is nice to see those recipes made by someone who can give their own opinion. Thank you for your time.
Love how you cook Jen and u are honest
This may sound silly, but whenever I start watching other TH-camr meal preppers, I always compare them to you 😬 .. your videos are so informative, and relatable... you explain everything in great detail, even if you've done it already a hundred times on other videos, and I looove that (repetition definitely helps me remember hahaha🙈) I appreciate all of your content!!!!!!! Thank you so much!
I just made 2 of these recipes to use all these peppers my in laws gave us from their garden.
I made the Asian noodle salad and the meat pies.
The Asian noodle salad I cheated a bit by replacing all the cabbage and carrots with coleslaw mix. I do this all the time with any recipe calling for these ingredients. When it comes to some tasks, I’m unapologetically lazy. And the results were fantastic! The dressing has wonderful flavor. I did scale down the ingredients a bit because I knew it would make too much.
The filling for the meat pies is good. I ended up using 1 jalapeño and 1 mystery pepper from the in laws. These peppers aren’t pablanos or jalapeños but are less spicy than pablanos and I thought adding a jalapeño would balance out the flavor but it was still too spicy for my taste so I added a tablespoon spoon of brown sugar. So I didn’t follow the recipe really but the meat filling was good. I haven’t tried the finished product because they are still cooling. The filling is delicious so I think the will be good, but remember I’m lazy and resented assembling these meat pies. Somehow I doubt they will be amazing enough to justify the time I sacrificed. But there is a ton of leftover meat filling and we plan to put it in taco shells later in the week.
So will definitely make the noodle salad. Will probably make the meat filling again but probably not go to the trouble of making the pies. I should have known better. And the mess! There’s flour all over the place...
Thanks for all your work Jen! Just made Ree’s Tator Tot Breakfast Casserole-Delicious!
Love these recipes. Thank you so much. You are so great. I get so giddy every time you upload.
Thank you Liz!
Leftover egg yolks? I love homemade pudding, which calls for egg yolks. You can also add an extra egg yolk to pancake or waffle batter, or french toast mixture, or add extra yolks to scrambled eggs. They will keep a couple of days in the fridge in a covered container.
What a fun video! I have made the eggs in hash brown nests a few times but I used frozen hash brown potatoes. I let then sit on the counter for about 25 minutes so they would be more pliable to form in the muffin pan. I also add garlic and onion powder to the potatoes because we like them that way. My potatoes never stick but I spray them well with the cooking spray and the eggs turn out just right. The only thing I saw in your video was that you pressed them into the muffin tin. Maybe that’s why they stuck? I’m probably not that careful when I make my nests lol, but they haven’t stuck yet. And scrambling the eggs I probably wouldn’t try either. Great video tho…thanks!
I use the left over egg yolks or whites and cook them for my dog and cats. They love it! I'm sure Murphey would love that!
Loved this! You should do Ina Garten recipes! Her’s are always really good!
I love Ina.🙂
Ina Garten is my girl!💜💜💜
But probably expensive.
Loved your video. Thanks for sharing. With the egg cups I wonder if you could grease and flour (thinly) to keep them from sticking. Just a thought. Take care and God bless.
Love these, my husband will eat anything PW. I like that you give your ideas too because I'm not always sure if we will like it the way it is. And I always cut her recipies in half and still end up with 2 meals for our family of 4.
I used to love Rachel Rays 30 minute meals. That would be awesome to see you do. So, my fav Pioneer Woman recipes are broccoli and cheese soup, tortilla soup, crock pot white chicken chili. Loved this video!
Love all your videos! Agree with some of your subscribers, please make more of this type of cooking videos.🙂
Some chopped peanuts when serving would be good on top of the Asian Noodle salad.
Love this video! Awesome job. I love when you do Pioneer Woman’s recipes because I’m so curious how they taste. Thank you.
Thanks awesome video. Lemon curd is a good use for leftover egg yolks. As for the chicken pasta, from the Italian point of view, it looked like too much sauce for the amount of pasta. But Americans like it that way - Italians prefer the pasta itself to star.
This was awesome! I make the PW Calzones all the time and am excited to try the Meat Pies. Giada D. or Barefoot Contessa next please :)
I’ve made the egg things before and what I did was used cupcake wrappers in between the hash brown and pan so I for sure wouldn’t have them stick because I was not washing that mess 😂 and I only baked them for a total of about 10-12 min on a lower temp.
Mine was just a basic Pinterest recipe tho lol
*Leftover egg yolk 2 ways*-
*1. Hollandaise sauce*
*2. Hair!!!*
*LOOK IT UP!!!* lol I know it sounds crazy, but it'll make your hair stronger and shiny!
My family's two favorite Pioneer Woman recipes is the salisbury steak and the cincinnati chili!!! Both SO GOOD!
Love this video Jen! So creative🥰😍
When you made this comment, a year ago, is when I first started following you! I revisited this one when it randomly came through my recommended list. Who am I to deny a dose of Jen? 💁♀️😂
