Hi everyone!! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. It's perfectly fall like today and I am working up 84 ears of corn for the freezer and making pepper steak for supper. If you listened carefully pepper steak is not the meal planned, but that's what we're having and I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, I understand about your Mother not liking the food at her facility. When my Mother was in a facility, she almost rarely ate what they offered. We put a little refrigerator and microwave in her room and kept her stocked with food and drinks that she wanted. My Mother has been gone for 5 years this year and I remember her being so picky well. Great video!!

I could talk about yellow rice for days. It is totally delicious, and inexpensive. I make a one pot meal from mine. I poach a couple of chicken thighs in water, and a little salt. I use the broth that creates, as the water for the yellow rice. I add chopped onions, sliced mushrooms (optional, but delicious), extra minced garlic (1 or 2 tablespoons, or to taste), chopped bell peppers (of any color, but I prefer red). I have also, from time to time, added a can of black beans and a can of corn. When the chicken is cooked through, remove, debone and shred. As I said, I use the broth created as the water for the rice. You only need the amount on the package. Follow the package directions for amounts of "water" and either oil or butter. Add in the chicken, onions, garlic, mushrooms, peppers, and/or beans and corn. Cook as directed, but be prepared to cook a little extra time. Delicious. I have had it by itself, (no add-ins), as a side for fried chicken or pork chops, or even a pork roast. It is magnificent. I hope your family really likes this. I also think the Vigo brand is the best.

Oh happy day!!! I LOVE when you announce cranberry harvest because I am cranberry crazy. And this time of year I up my game in the pantry for all things cranberry. Cookies, Breads, and sauces are ALWAYS on the menu. So you harvesting means the stores will be stocked and since so many folks seem to be in the hoarding mode…well you know the saying, when in Rome….! Listening to you chat about your meal planning reminds me of the days of my youth when our family of 9 children were consuming gallons of milk, loaves of bread and rolls of bath tissue. How my folks did it is beyond my understanding but I do once a month grocery hauls as well even though it’s not for a large family. I just like to keep my pantry full and my jars and crocks full. I still cook from scratch so I want to have what I need to be at my fingertips. I hope your other subscribers take your planning and run with it because you have some excellent ideas that are tried and true from all the vlogs I have watched of yours. Looking forward to seeing the harvest and even though to your family its work but to me…it’s a pleasure. Thanks for enlightening and entertaining me and know I appreciate peeking in on your life…what you share that is. I missed not seeing Joe photo bomb Mom!!!:):):)

Because some recipes I forget about & haven’t made in ages & it is just a reminder to me. I like switching things up & not eating the same things wk after wk also!But my family likes familiar foods though! Yes, we take advantage of our DG app! Yes, they put one in our small town a few yrs ago & what a blessing that’s been! Very convenient. We’ve also been taking advantage of our DGPickup. You order online & then they shop for your items & you walk in & pick it up! So so easy! Thanks Jennifer for all your great ideas! 😁❤️

Cool rice according to directions and add to meat/beans. You can add shrimp at the very end of the cooking time with beans if you like but we normally have it without shrimp.

I have bought groceries monthly for at least 30 years. It gets easier every year and I have it down pretty much to a science. I know I have a certain amount and I can fill my fridge and freezer. And yes I often have plenty for at least a week or two extra if need be. I also plan out my meals of what we have on a calendar and my family knows what is on that day may get changed depending on what we are wanting. I planned my budget so well for the last 3 months that I have enough food in my freezer to supply us until Halloween.

I made pepper steak this past week also. We love it and should do that more often. I enjoyed watching you plan meals for the month. I am horrible at planning my meals ahead and end up getting lots of things to cook but not always all of the ingredients for certain meals/entrees, so when I try to figure our what to make, I'm missing ingredients or use something forgetting I had bought it for a certain meal. I guess I'm a hot mess where meal planning is concerned. I will say I bought bell peppers with no plan and decided on pepper steak to use them up before they went bad. Thanks for the tips!

We have been empty nesters for several years now, I can’t seem to cook for only two people🤔 I’ve tried so now we eat leftovers sometimes 3 times during the week. I do break down any packages of meat or chicken so I have figured out two family size packs are enough for the whole month. My husband only eats the berry family accept for cranberry’s 😳 and he won’t eat desserts it drives me crazy! 😜 have a blessed week! I love your videos😊🌻💕

When I am feeling overwhelmed with house work and meal planning your videos bring me back and relaxed! Able to plug along with a much better attitude.

When I make my brown rice, if I don't have beef broth, I will use a packet of onion soup mix and water, if I have the beef broth I do beef broth and the onion soup mix

I’m considering using 2 cans of beef consommé because my family wasn’t big on the French onion soup. Think that would be ok?

Oh my! You need to use the red bag chicken breast filets with the brioche hamburger buns from aldi's. You will make copy cat Chick-fil-A sandwiches. Love them!

Do you ever get the chick fil a sauce to add to it?
