I love seeing the real Jennifer Garner in her slippies, leg warmers and no makeup. Her pretend cooking show is so much fun. I have always felt that she would be great to hang out with on a Girls’ Night Out. She is clearly such a warm and genuine person. I also love that she makes treats for her cast and crew during filming (and that she adores Ina Garten! ).

I enjoy your pretend cooking show more than some real cooking shows! Lol if only they realized, we don’t need perfection in the kitchen. We need mistakes, substitutions, oops, and shared laughter.

I love that we have got to see you 3 times in a week. It's such a blessing, love watching you bake and cook. ❤

If there’s a woman in the world that we’re happy when she’s successful, Jennifer is one of them.👍💪

The way everything is 100% louder early in the morning! I bury my coffee grinder in a towel so it doesn’t wake up the rest of the fam. Love this video! Adorable and delicious as usual!

I know it's called 'pretend' but tbh this is better than most of the cooking channels I've seen! Thanks for keeping it real, Jen ❤️
