2. Andrei Besant: I love love love your channel! I just started staying at home with my son, and your tips are SO helpful. It makes me feel like I can do it lol
3. Alicia Carter: I thought of you today when I washed come cucumbers and peppers and herbs. My herbs are in a bag with a cloth napkin. The cucumbers and peppers I have dried and they await some snacking!
4. How Jen Does It: +lori frost Yay! :)
5. mdexperience2011: New to your channel but loving your videos. You really work hard at maintaining and managing your home and family. Kudos to you! :)
6. WifeMommyFamily Journey: Cilantro Lime Rice sounds so yummy!!! Spinach Lasagna Roll up good too ...oh and the oatmeal cookies and granola bars... Haha, Ok everything looks amazing like always!!! Haha!! Thanks for sharing Jen!!
7. Jovanna Monroe: YAY! for spinach lasagna roll ups! I really would love to have the recipe. Will you be making a video on how you cook them?
8. How Jen Does It: +Kate B Thanks :).
9. Kelly H.: I just made these granola bars last night. They turned out awesome! My girls loved them and so did my hubby. He took some with his lunch today. I will definitely be making these again.
10. arlene_donnelly35: great video jen i have to say u have the best inspirational channel lol i get so many ideas for lunches and dinners from u :) i am off to make those cookies right now  they look really good and i have just started using coconut oil instead of butter and i love it thanks for the great tips xxx
11. marissa hawkes: You are awesome! You're like a daily vlogger. I love watching your videos :)
12. Justin Luis: Great haul!!! 😃
13. How Jen Does It: +Alicia Carter Awesome :).
14. No Mad: Awesome video!!  Question about the chicken.  I assume you baked a chicken and used the leftover meat to make chicken salad and the bones, and maybe skin, to make the broth.  Am I even close?? I bake chicken often and freeze the leftover gravy / drippings then use a few spoonfuls with water in place of chicken broth in recipes.  But this looks better because you have the added flavor of the vegetables.
15. arlene_donnelly35: i did  make the cookies and they were so good i brought them into work as a healthy treat for the girls :) thanks jen x
16. How Jen Does It: +mdexperience2011 Thank you very much! :)
17. jw1435: Very helpful video. Which polish do you have on your nails? They're so pretty! :)
18. How Jen Does It: +Jovanna Monroe I'm planning to record the recipe :).
19. How Jen Does It: +PointingTheWeigh Put the peanut butter in with the sugar, honey and butter.
20. How Jen Does It: +Lisa Barnes Thank you! That sounds like the perfect thing for a snack for your boys at school. I hope you liked the banana cookies. They are so easy to make!
21. How Jen Does It: +Andrei Guth Thank you so much! You can definitely do it :).
22. dimdull: It touches me whenever you mention your boys. Nice recipes, I'll try those out. Thanks!
23. How Jen Does It: +Kelly H. Glad they liked the granola bars!
24. How Jen Does It: +No Mad You are spot on :). That's exactly what I did for the chicken broth.
25. How Jen Does It: +Cookfor mykids I'm sure they would love to see how fast they re-grow.
26. PointingTheWeigh: Thankyou for sharing all your lovely recipes! I have a question, when making the granola bars, do I put the 1/3c peanut butter into the pan with the butter, honey and the 1/3c sugar and boil or do I mix the peanut butter in with the dry ingredients? Thankyou in advance! Linda (UK)
27. Madzia M: @HowJenDoesIt super ideas thanks
28. Grandma Frugal .Frugalnista of Orange County: Jen older people have been saving left over veggies, left over bread, gravy and sauces for years. We use the veggies just like you did and in soups. We use the bread for meat loaf and croutons, we use the gravy as a base for same type meat. Chicken for chicken, beef for beef etc. I love to see young people using older people methods. I have carrots,celery and left over broccoli in my freezer and I plan to make a chicken gumbo with chicken thighs in my slow cooker pot. I love scraps they come in handy! Especially veggies. The winter time is coming soon and root vegetables are perfect for freezing. Good for you Jen!
29. Lisa Barnes: I love this video. We have 2 teenagers and we need a fair amount of snacks. I like for them to take a snack to school because they leave here at 7:00 but don't have lunch until noon or so. I break a granola bar into 2 pieces and put it in a snack zipper pouch and tell them to grab a quick cube when they go to their locker. Then there's the after school snacks. Thanks for the healthy home made alternatives. I'm trying the banana cookies today. I have the perfect bananas for it.
30. Justin Luis: I have to make those granola bars!!!
31. Kiddos Koral: Loving the cookie recipe. No sugar! Fabulous. I'll probably add a bit of honey but sounds great.
32. Kiddos Koral: I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.
33. How Jen Does It: +fluffypinkpuss Thank you so much! Hope you liked the cookies :).
34. Kate B: Love that you're including your food prep! You're inspiring me to get my act together :)
35. How Jen Does It: +TheHibbertClan Haha! It really does help in the morning doesn't it? I only have two, but I like to keep the morning as calm as possible :).
36. How Jen Does It: +marissa hawkes Aw! Thank you!
37. How Jen Does It: +WifeMommyFamily Journey Haha! Did I make you hungry? :)
38. How Jen Does It: +Kiddos Koral One of my boys loved the cookies. They are pretty sweet from the really ripe bananas so you might not need honey. It's up to you, of course :)
39. TheHibbertClan: Love your food prep videos they've given me the push to start doing it myself, which has made me hectic mornings so much easier! (I have 7 kids) so now I actually have time to get a brush through my hair haha .. Thank you so much for the fab tips :)
40. How Jen Does It: +jw1435 It is Zoya Brie. Thanks :)!
41. lori frost: I started a food prep!!!! Thanks for your videos and inspiration!!! My kids are loving the idea of me bagging up fruits and vegetables for their school lunches.
