I'd definitely watch these as a weekly series. So interesting to see how others plan and grocery shop! Love seeing the fitness videos along with these health/lifestyle videos! Take care you two! xo
We received a free calendar in the mail. Before tossing it, I had an idea. I planned a different meal each night for January with my family's help. I made sure meal types were spread out throughout each week. I'll only need to view a recipe for a few, the rest are things we know how to easily make. My plan is to use the same plan each month (none of the meals are repeated within one month's time) until it warms up, and we add grilling options. Of course, it's flexible if we think of something else or go out, but it will save the time I spend each weekend trying to decide what we'll have the upcoming week. I'll also be able to purchase non-perishable items in one trip to make weekly shopping quicker.
I've always loved all your videos, but I'm really loving the fitness and eating ones! This could be an amazing new direction for you to add in the mix! Please keep them up!
We shop weekly together. I cook Monday-Friday and he cooks on the weekends…I manage our gîte so my job is not M-F 9-5. We use our Alexa to make a list throughout the week. Following our workout on Saturday morning, I make my morning tea and plan the week. I do ask if there is something he wants to/does NOT want to have that week. For M-Th, I make a soup, salad, chicken and pork meal. On Friday, I make homemade pizza. I used to get overwhelmed about what to make until I came up with the 4 different meals. Makes it less stressful for me.
Your cat is such a cat. Walking in front of the camera and then showing us his/her cat butt 😹😹. The cat sitting in the chair watching you, like hey I want to pick a dinner and don't forget the cat treats and kitty litter😸. I'm a cat person who doesn't have cats right now enjoying someone else's cats. Enjoyed this video and your vlogmas.
Fascinating! I am a Mom of two with my dear husband....and I have never meal planned in my life. I guess we are a sort of grab and go family. This is really interesting to see someone do this....By the way, I am teaching virtual this week so I have been very much enjoying your daily videos. :).
Love this! I used to be really good at meal Prepping but since spring break last school year, I’ve fallen off the band wagon. Super excited though, because my roommate and I when we move in together are going to be on the same page with meal prepping, grocery shopping and working out!❤️
My husband and I also meal plan and meal prep. Such a time saver and literally (and figuratively) the best way to batch your food. Thanks for sharing your choices. We also shop at Aldi and similar stores. I love the Aldi Finds section!
Quick question for you all. Do you sanitize your groceries before you put them away? I've been sanitizing EVERYTHING for two years and it's actually starting to drive me crazy. I need help to stop. I even wash every single apple, banana, onion, etc...
Hi Michelle! I enjoyed today's video. As you were planning meals I was wondering about how you go about deciding what you buy and how much you spend. Now that prices are up on almost every item in the store, have you kept your usual list of groceries, or have you made modifications with the types of meals you make, food brands you buy, or have you increased your grocery budget? Before the pandemic, it came a time in my family's life that we were able to splurge a bit once a month maybe twice a month on those "extra" treats. Especially, if we ONLY ate home meals. Now keep in mind, I have a large family size of 5 sometimes 6 and it gets expensive, especially now since the price increase on mostly everything. I hope you can make a video on... How did you budget yourself on a teacher's salary? Not only on food, mortgage/rent, bills, etc. But also all those extras like traveling, date nights/concerts, etc. I know this will help many, especially those starting off.
Love this ! This might be a dumb question. Keep in mind I’m a little older. But what app did say you used to share. I don’t see how to share on the notes app that comes on an Apple. The yellow one.
HEB has the best coffee! My dad and his partner visit a few times a year and stock up for us back in the Midwest. My favorite is Taste of San Antonio! ☕♥️
Now that I have two kids and another on the way ( Both hubby and I are teachers too) we order out groceries through instacart… saves sssoooo much time . ( I used to shop like you back in the day too:)
making something different for dinner every day instead of making a ton of spaghetti on Sunday and eating it all week is how you know you're a real adult.

Yessssssss
PLEASE do more of these. This is so motivating and I LOVE that you show us how you do this with your husband as a team.
Billy seems like such a solid guy! I love the collaboration you guys have when it comes to grocery shopping and how well you two work together.

Would love more meal planning and healthy lifestyle videos. You guys are such a nice couple!
Love you covering up kitty’s “balloon tie”!!! 🤣🤣 Made me laugh so hard! Thanks for showing us how to meal plan and shop accordingly on a budget! ☺️
Probably one of my favorite videos you’ve made! So laid back!

Loved the video! What app are you guys using to log the meals, and set up the groceries list?

Michelle, I loved this video. It is inspiring me to plan my meals to actually buy what I use. I hate to throw away food. Thank you
This was great! Thanks for sharing your process with us. I tend to organize my Trader Joe's grocery list the same way you set up your Aldi list.

I love the way she tried to protect the cat's privacy by censoring the butt shot lol

You should make your own taco seasoning ...no preservatives in it !! There are many recipes online 🤗
Love that Billy has been in more videos. I love seeing your dynamic together!
I love how you guys share the grocery list chore! Joe is always like, "I don't care, whatever you want..."
HEB has the best coffee! My dad and his partner visit a few times a year and stock up for us back in the Midwest. My favorite is Taste of San Antonio! ☕♥️
I love all your clear containers!
We do something very similar every week, I like the shared list idea!
This is basically the way my husband and I meal plan. We also take turns picking meals and then we make a grocery list based on what we already have.
Those cats! Love when they pop on🤣💙
Can you post how you make your Mediterranean bowls? I loved this video
Awesome video! Love it as always. I really love your lifestyle vlogs! Can’t wait for the next one.
I ran out of onion powder last week and literally put my minced onion through the food processor. It worked surprisingly well.
I’m loving these new lifestyle type vlogs! ❤️
Thanks for this video! I love getting ideas for foods I can try!
I need to do that with my husband thank you for sharing how you make your grocery list
Do you do meal replacement shakes? If you do, what are your go-to shakes?
Yum! I’ll be over for dinner every night this week! 🤪
What is the app you were using. Can you give the link please
Wow! It sounds like my husband and I when we meal plan. hahaha
Can you make the video of your taco salad please?
I wonder why these type of videos are soooooooooo fun for me? Lol..
I love these videos! cat butt lol
How do you like our Texas only HEB?
Ah! I love the Aldi frozen veggies, they're so cheap and good.
Now that I have two kids and another on the way ( Both hubby and I are teachers too) we order out groceries through instacart… saves sssoooo much time . ( I used to shop like you back in the day too:)
