I regularly borrow cookbooks from the library and then once I find some recipes I enjoy I actually photocopy the ones I like and add to my personal recipe book (I just use a 3 ring binder with sheet protectors!). I do have a few cookbooks that I own but I find usually I only really love a few recipes per cookbook and this is an easy way to keep just the ones I love.
Life changing for me: I brain dumped and made a master list of all the meals that I’ve made that our family loves. Also on the list I added where the recipe was located or the person who I got it from - this allows me to quickly go to the source & look up the ingredients. Every week on Sunday I go thru that master list and make my meal plan for the week. I’ve set my goal to try 2 new recipes a month to grow my master meal list, otherwise I have enough meals to choose and there’s always something different. For lunch I’ve also created a master list. Every other week I’ll go thru this list and make sure we have most of the ingredients. These master lists have helped out when I really needed to get projects done and need something quick to throw together, or in the postpartum seasons
I’ve been binge watching your meal planning videos since I’m sick and have the time. So this is perfect! Feels like a friend is keeping me company and giving me cool meal ideas! I’m going to try your bone broth and check out those cook books you recommended.
I love recipe books, of late my husband has been doing a food program where they r getting rid of out of date or nearly out of date fruit and vegetables. I love this food source as u get fruit and vegetables and u can get some meat, chicken, wraps, cheese, milk. Just basic extras to make meals. Always pasta and dried porcini mushrooms to make stock. I actually find if I make a pasta dish from scratch and it is fairly basic with a few ingredients my son loves it. ( He actually asks for it every birthday and my milk chocolate cake with sprinkles and chocolate icing ) . Which is basic icing sugar, cocoa a dash of boiling water and some milk with a little butter to make it a bit glossy 😊😊😊
I really appreciate the cookbook recommendations as I feel like I’ve been in a rut lately and I’m trying to find new healthy delicious recipes! Thanks again!
😂😂 good ol pen an paper works great and that was definitely my style when I go to the store by myself but when my husband is with me a shared note on our iPhones has worked wonders!! I make one with our meal plan and one with the grocery list. He gets a notification everytime I add something to the list and he gets so excited about making the meals with me. At the store we divide in conquer and we are in and out as fast as possible. This method of keeping him involved instead of just pushing the buggy is really wonderful for us and I highly recommend if you have to go to the store with your husband because we know that’s not an easy thing to do 🤣.
I’d love to see your thrive haul! I love thrive but don’t know if I utilize it like I should so I am curious to see what you get for you and your family. ❤️
Hi Becca! Thank you for the video, it is really helpful! I also write my shopping list oh a paper 😂 I would love to see a video from you about protein, how many grams should one take, should it always come from meat or not, what other options are available if one has, say, autoimmune conflict and red meat is not a good option, etc. ❤
hi! wondering why you don't buy a block of cheese at the grocery store and shred it at home? I'm in Canada, not sure if you have that there? I find the pre shredded cheese has this powdery flour-like component
I don't like snacking on cucumbers but I LOVE zucchini. I will use it in place of that. I find it less "wet" and less acidic (in my opinion) than cucumbers but very similar!
Love your videos! As an intuitive eater and facilitator trained with Evelyn Tribole, I would love* to offer some insight that could be super powerful for your audience! “Not so healthy foods” kind of implies that negative moral message of “bad food” and so I love her use of “play food” or “fun food” to remove the negativity that we have naturally adopted through diet culture. All foods are welcome, they are neither “good” or “bad” it’s just food and you definitely touch that importance and I love that! Reframing “unhealthy” to “fun” is a more neutral reframe and gave be super helpful with the transition to acceptance of all food is welcome! Again, love your channel and everything you are sharing! ❤
Someone recently suggested borrowing cookbooks from the library and trying out recipes before purchasing a cookbook! Thought that was so smart!
Do libraries have relevant/modern cookbooks?
@@cristin8073 I think many do! Just saw the half baked harvest cookbook at mine.
@@cristin8073 yes they do!! Our library always has new cookbook releases.
I love doing this! Especially they have diet specific cookbooks that I may only need to see if maybe a relative is coming to visit.

I’d love a follow up to this. Like how the week went- what you ate, what was leftover, etc.
Loved this! Would be awesome if you did this weekly or more often :)
I agree!! I came to her channel today just for this type of videos. Shes the best at it!

Would love a video on how you make your chicken salad and a step by step how to roast a whole chicken!

Can you do a video of your favourite cookbooks?
hi! wondering why you don't buy a block of cheese at the grocery store and shred it at home? I'm in Canada, not sure if you have that there? I find the pre shredded cheese has this powdery flour-like component
So funny! That’s how i meal plan. My piece of paper is just a little bigger 😂
I loved this so much! Thanks for sharing your realistic tips!!
I don't like snacking on cucumbers but I LOVE zucchini. I will use it in place of that. I find it less "wet" and less acidic (in my opinion) than cucumbers but very similar!
What dressing do you use for your burger bowl?
How do you determine what to buy organic? I noticed your apples & broccoli weren’t. I find myself stressing about finding organic as much as I can!
Love these videos of yours!
Would love to see if you have any tips for picky eaters
Thrift stores are a great place to find cookbooks! My favorite thrift store has all books for 50 cents.
Garden planning + tips for a newbie! I’d love to see this type of idea again once you’re using produce from your garden too!
I agree , take out is expensive and usually a disappointment, I just would rather cook something simple and call it good if the day is crazy
What do you do for exercise ❤
I love your hair! Would like to know how you take care of it.
This was such a helpful and awesome video Becca! Loved the realism and seeing your method of meal planning, you are so great!❤
I love Wegmans. And we use that same bread from the bakery.
I needed this! Thank you ❤
How do you get your kids to eat anything but sweet food or processed stuff? Also, my kids are not big meat eaters. Please help!
☠️ at the piece of paper you whipped out 😂
Do you have a recipe for GF egg souffle ? Freshly diagnosed Celiac, however long process to get here. Would love to have this on hand.
This is exactly what I needed today!!! Also I LOVE homemaker chic podcast! Are you a fan girl? Haha:)
Please make more of these!
This is exactly the way I shop and meal plan too

Great idea with the board - I have the worst preganancie brain 💀
My 12 year old son still eats the same yogurt just 2-3 at a time. I can’t get him to eat Siggi’s with me and refuse to buy one that is just sugar.
Add honey or strawberry preserves to the plain yogurt! Or any fruit he likes probably delicious. Stonyfield is delicious too!!
Healthy granola might help too! My husband has plain yogurt with berries and homemade granola every morning.
Nice sharing
Dutch baby is a huge luxury these days (you know what I mean 🥚 😅)
I think they have chickens on their land 🐓😍
I don’t get how people find this complicated 😂
