I was finding myself needing to go to the store with no meal plan way too often. I was burnt out on it. I sat down one day, and made a meal plan for a month. I recycle through the same plan now EVERY month. It was the best thing I could have done for myself😂

@SeeMindyMom Месяц назад

That's a good system!

@brg2743 Месяц назад

I don't meal plan. Just keep stocked up when things go on sale. It's cheaper I think.

@shelzp7272 Месяц назад

@Nicole Excellent and sensible idea…

@nicolesobol936 Месяц назад

@@brg2743 It’s not about what’s on sale for my family necessarily, it’s what’s whole and healthy.

My go to meal is Beanie Weenie Tacos. I make refried beans from a can of Pinto beans. SUPER easy (2 tbsp of olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder. Heat and drain can of beans but leave a little liquid. Then pour into heated oil, allow to boil on med high heat. Let it boil and stir so it doesn't stick, for about 3 min. Turn temp down and let simmer until liquid is just below top layer of beans. Smash, stir in some cheese). While beans are simmering, cut up hotdogs, put in a pot with a can of diced tomatoes with green chili's. Tsp each of chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook until hotdogs are done. I use Nathan's brand because they are beef and don't get soggy. Then layer beans, some Mexican cheese, and a spoonful or two of drained hotdogs in a tortilla. SO GOOOD!! I've got it down so well now, it literally takes 15 min from start to finish.

Look for green vines instead of brown. Brown stems pass on them for the week.

We tried the Priano Alfredo sauce last weekend and I didn’t love it but the rest of the family gobbled it up. Basically, mixed reviews. But I doubt I’ll buy it again unless I’m in a pinch. Also, my fav tip for on-the-fly meal planning is to divide my cart into quadrants/sections and put meal items together (rather than grouping by category like veg, dairy, etc). It helps me to not miss an ingredient.

@TinyHouseHomeschoolLife 14 дней назад

It’s about the flavor of Alfredo for my family. One they will eat, the other they love.

Thank you! The pantry cooking/use-it-up videos a pretty popular. They're kind of fun for me to make, because I enjoy the challenge. It's kind of like a puzzle!

@user-ex8dl9nw4r Месяц назад

My favourite way to cook risotto is in my Dutch oven....in the oven. Just saute onion,garlic, (plus meat or veg), risotto rice on the cooktop, then add all the liquid at once. Bring to the boil, pop the lid on and then into the oven (350deg) for 25-30 mins. Remove from oven and stir through a little butter and parmesan. Turns out perfectly every time and I don't have to stand and stir for ages 😉

@kathrinmariakrause5351 Месяц назад

I recently picked up one of these take and bake pizzas for the first time. Normally I make pizza from scratch, but I didn't have time that day and thought ordering would be too expensive. As life goes, we actually didn't even have time to make the pizza that day. Next day we visited relatives and came back almost in the middle of the night - We were so glad to have that tasty pizza ready in no time! I would never have bought it without you!

@abigailsharp2018 Месяц назад

I'm barely into this video but it resonates so much!! I love having a plan but I hate cooking... watching the simple way you do things is so helpful. Thank you ❤️❤️

@SeeMindyMom Месяц назад

So glad I can help! There are lots of great meal ideas that don't require much cooking. I actually cook a lot less in the summer, and a lot of my meal content are quick things like various sandwiches, wraps, salads, and things we can throw on the grill or in the air fryer. :)

@tarigeorge6122 Месяц назад

Why do you wash your chicken?

Don't be scared of risotto, you can dump a load of liquid in and just cook.low and slow, just mix it regularly and don't let it get dry x

@e.smeltzer9286 Месяц назад

Quick breakfast for your kids. Guacamole on toast. It's the avocado toast of those who shouldn't use knives or are time crunched. They also make it in a squeeze tube which can be pricey but per oz it is cheaper than the singles and it doesn't oxidize.

@kristenmcmunn8342 Месяц назад

So glad you posted this! It's real. I can often overthink my meal plans, especially with a strict budget and somewhat picky eaters. So when I don't have one, shopping on the fly is hard! 😅 Great tips and ideas. ❤

@SeeMindyMom Месяц назад

I am a huge overthinker in general, so I'm sort of talking to myself in this one as well! :)

@elizabethscholes3751 Месяц назад

Those sausage raviolis are very good! I absolutely agree with planing for one extra meal. For too long I kept so stuck to the meals I thought we needed and would end up having a night or lunch where we had nothing to eat and no one wanted sandwiches. Also a good way to stretch the days between grocery store trips, something I’ve learned from you.

@bethpowers1916 Месяц назад

@BarbaraU 20 дней назад

I always look at the weather when doing my meal plan too. Especially if I'm craving soup. I look to see which day is the coldest or if there's any rain LOL

@nullasalus3 Месяц назад

It's always helpful to see your thought process when shopping sales to plan meals, and it was great getting to see the meals that you actually made. Also, go Rangers! Because of a medical thing, my doctor encouraged me to eat off of a specific meal plan for the last month. I've been listening/watching your videos while I work the last couple of weeks to meal plan vicariously through you. I think that makes me a little nerdy? :)

@ginasubel5227 Месяц назад

I am a meal planner but this is exactly what happened to me this week.😅 I bought all or most of the good sale items at my favorite grocery store and meal planned as I went. I totally look at the weather forecast too! Especially now that we are getting some nicer weather and can grill out more.

@GrayZiazanne Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing!! Yes! Crispy instead of wrinkly/soggy grapes. Thank you for the mini cukes tip too. Weather planning, i agree because if it's hot out i only want salads or subs type cold food vs soup/hot foods only in the winter. Nice shot with the popcorn! I like how you talked about using the crockpot because everyone would be eating in "shifts"; makes so much sense!!

@Michelle-mk6dx Месяц назад

Ooooh I do check the weather - I love to plan around that -if it’s going to be chilly, I”ll make a soup/ stew …. Or if it’s too hot - no oven 🥰

Meal plan with weather.Like today is 43,so nice veggie stew with drop biscuits.When it's 70, macaroni salad and fish filets.The hotter it gets cold cuts,cold salads,etc.Can't eat hot foods in summer.If I BBQ,like chicken,do it day before and eat cold from refrigerator the next day.When kiddos was around,cooked hot for them ,ate cold cuts.😅

@marywatkins6798 Месяц назад

I found those soup mixes reduced at my Aldi too once, a year or two ago and I continue to look every single time for them at a low price again. Nada! They were so good. I did doctor them up some. The Aldi pork carnitas seasoned pork shoulder is a favorite of mine. It is so easy to cook in the crock pot, and we actually prefer it over rice with a side veggie vs: on a tortilla. The BBQ pork one is good also, which I had to grab once when the carnitas was sold out! We like that over rice as well. Weekly Aldi shopper here!

@user-mq8fo3tr5u Месяц назад

Mindy, always appreciate your honesty. My rule for meal planning is this…..pasta, soup/grill (depending on the season), beef/poultry or seafood, and a vegetarian meal. This approach helps me…..when like you……i just totally dropped the ball and menu planning did not happen! Sometimes life just gets in the way.

@alishaparr577 Месяц назад

I made a meal very similar to the tortellini soup for dinner tonight, mine didn't have sausage. I just put in tortellini, Italian flavored caned tomatoes and a few spoons of pesto.

@nephilimslayer73 Месяц назад

I don’t really “meal plan” as such, but I have a rotation of basic recipes and keep ingredients on hand that can be used for multiple recipe variations. I usually buy seasonal fresh produce so it suits the weather. Sometimes I will cook from scratch and other times I just throw together an easy meal. I always use a shopping list and check online catalogues, shop over multiple stores and get the best specials. I am partially brand loyal. Some items I want a brand name item, and others I will swap out for cheaper brands and store brands, especially for basic items. I find having the flexibility works better for me.
