MEAL PREP & GROCERY LiST FOR OUR FAMiLY OF 10

  • There are certain things I like to do before I go grocery shopping
    The first thing I do is go through both of my refrigerators and clean them out and check what I have left in the foods that I’m gonna need to buy. Next I head down to my food pantry and I organize it just in case it got a little crazy with me and my kids grabbing foods for meals. After I organize my pantry, I go through my stock to see what I need to buy if I ran of it out of anything or I’m running low on something.
    I’m really thankful for my food pantry, I do a lot of Canyon and my husband built that for me so I had a place to store food because living up north you can’t necessarily have a garden all year so I like to process my garden for us to use throughout the winter
    After I’ve gone through my refrigerators in my pantry, I sit down with my yellow notebook and pen and start writing out my grocery list. I also write down the meals we’re gonna be having for the week and check to make sure I have those ingredients ready or if I need to add them to my grocery list
    We have been working really hard to do a grocery haul every 2 1/2 weeks or if I can stretch it out to three. It’s been going really well and I’ve noticed since we’ve been doing this less food gets thrown out and it kind of force is our family to eat everything we have because they know I’m not gonna head to town until we eat all the food up. It also kind of gets the wheels going well we plan meals to make sure that we use things that are in our fridge first and then add on if we need to.
    I was just really burdened about how we weren’t eating all the food I bought in time it was honestly getting wasted then I would buy more food and take to my pantry and I had already had like seven or eight of them. So  this really keeps me organized and accountable for my grocery hauls and what we buy. 
    Make sure to please subscribe and, like our page look out for our part two of our grocery haul, the tuna noodle casserole recipe, my St. Patrick’s Day fruit board, and another video from our Florida trip.

    A clean and organized home is NOT easy to maintain. I don’t have a family. Just two little fur babies and my fiancé, and it’s still a full time job to keep my house exactly the way I like it. Please give yourself a huge pat on the back. Your home is beautiful and you’ve created such a comfortable peaceful home for your family. Have a great weekend Bell family. Happy St Patrick’s Day ❤️❤️❤️

    You can make a great homemade veggie stock.
    I save all my veggie scraps, carrot peels, onion skins, any scraps from trimming broccoli, cauliflower, stems from asparagus etc.
    I wash everything before peeling.
    Save all the scraps in a bag in the freezer. When I have a couple bags, take out, cover with water and simmer for how ever long your ancestors tell you.
    Then I strain, I take out the big stuff and strain the liquid through a flour sack towel.
    Can can up, freeze or refigerate

    Hi, I live in New Zealand and I like to put corned beef and I put it in a slower cooker and it cooks away for 6 to 10 hours depending on the size. Then I shred the meat and I get so many meals from it. Xx

    We make peanut butter eggs or pb balls dipped in chocolate..some ppl call them bullseyes. But when it's around the spring time we make them into little egg shapes..dip in chocolate or melt some colored wafers..dip in that & maybe add some sprinkles or those tiny diff color non pariels. Or even some dipped in chocolate & coconut shreds..really yummy thing to do w pb & confectionery sugar..or use a substitute ❤

    Tell your husband that he can wash his hair with the Dr bronner soap he already uses. A couple drops will do it and rinse well. It may not feel great at first but it gets better and feels nice when it's dry. If he has dandruff he can use the tea tree formula. My personal fav of that brand is the citrus.

    One thing I started doing was working w a Nutritionist and I log everything I eat on My Fitness Pal (I use the FREE version 😂 bc I'm cheap lol)😂 and the Nutritionist tells me not to call it a diet..just makes me aware of what I'm consuming. I still eat out like a Wendy's burger without the bun & have a lettuce bun instead & eat w a knife & fork..& a half of their chicken (grilled) salad w my own Raspberry Walnut Dressing is delicious. I buy Ken's but many ppl mk one. But literally I incorporate protein in almost EVERY snack or meal & I don't go crazy bc it keeps me full. If you don't eat by the time your body does get food it will store it as fat bc its not sure when it'll eat again..try eating every 3-4 hrs. Not a meal every time. But seriously it works. & the App def helps!

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Lower SW Michigan! Also if you’re a good food prep person and you want to eat healthier, I love getting containers with 3 or 4 compartments and doing bell peppers, carrots and cucumbers and then add hummus or ranch for dipping. Also trail mix is a great snack that I’ve learned is good for you! All nuts and raisins or dried cranberries. I’m sure you could find some great oats recipes and do an oat meal bar with different nuts, but butters, fruits, cinnamon, maple syrup, honey etc!

      @@chelly2517 you should too. they “caaaan” obviously anyone can do whatever they want, but it’s more just a strong suggestion not to if you want the best taste and texture. We’re talking science here: The major issue is it gets a mealy and grainy texture from the cold since the cold breaks down an enzyme in tomatoes and makes it all mushy and grainy and it also zaps flavor.
