What an excellent video. The recipes were great as always...but you sharing the budget concepts takes your videos to a height well above any expectation. Also the diet planing is always great. My hero! Giggling
Aw thank you for the kind words of encouragement :D
The highlight of my week. Enjoy watching you cook. Please write a cookbook.
Awe thanks Susie, I hope to work on a web page where you guys can go and print recipes. Hugs Shelby
Absolutely love how you do your budget and the whole idea about why it is important for the person that plans, shops and cooks to manage the money related to this as well. Being organized in this way for all aspects of our lives is what many of us are missing and consequently feeling that we fail. Without doubt a planning and organizing mindset is the foundation of an abundant lifestyle. Grateful for your videos.💛
I don’t know why but watching your videos are so soothing. I like your meal planning.
Awe thank you
I admire all of your organization and management skills to run your home and plan your meals!
Awe thank you for making my day!
Shelby, your videos are works of art! These must take a LOT of effort. I appreciate all the recipe demonstrations as well as all the links you provide! Thank you! I thought I was a pretty decent cook until I started watching your videos. Now I’m much better! Love ya! ❤️❤️
Awe Tiffany thank you for the kind words of encouragement! Hugs Shelby
Every single thing you made looked delicious! Love your videos. Nice job!

Thank you Jamie!
Love how you explained in depth your budget!
I've been rematching a bunch of your videos. I enjoy all your cooking so much! Thanks for all the wonderful recipes!!
My Grandpa grew up in Hawaii and he loved making Kalula Pork with Cabbage!! I absolutely adore your videos! 💖💖💖💖
Thank you. Ken and I have been to Hawaii a bunch and just love the people there. So welcoming, and friendly!
You're killin' me!!! My mouth is watering and I'm trying to figure out how to do this low carb! Your recipes look delicious!
I'm wanna try this recipe on my family because it looks so good. I run to see what your day and life consists of cooking and what u made that day so, watching you cooking and what u cooked made my life so much easier Shelby. Thanks to u my family is so happy. Lol. Shout out to Maryland. I'm near Washington DC. Maybe one day you and Kenney came visit my town.
Ur leftover make overs have been so inspiring i love cooking but have never thought of making over leftovers.. such a cool idea 🥰 cant wait to try it out next time i have leftovers !
Thank you for sharing your budget! I never thought or heard of doing it this way.
My pleasure
I always look forward to your videos. Thank you so much.
Thank you!!
What a great week of leftovers! Each meal was very different and looked great! Thanks for another great video! That lasagna looked delicious! I might make it for my mom and I, but I would cut the recipe by half!
That would be a good idea Sam, it makes a ton. You are such a good daughter, your mom must be so proud of you! Shelby
I just love watching your videos. Thanks for all of the effort and time you put in! I now only cook for 1 but there are still great tips. Your attitude and gratitude are greatly appreciated. And yes please write a cookbook.
Awe thanks Debbie, you made my day!
Thank you for sharing your budget planning. I've been struggling to find a simple way to keep track our household expenses and this just looks perfectly managable. Setting up my own budget now!
That is awesome Kelsey, a lot of the ladies put the leftover money in an envelope and keep it in their purse. Let me know how you like it. Hugs Shelby
Great video Shelby!!! Wow!! You stretched that pork a long way, awesome!!! I really like your weekly budget system, you inspire me to try that, thx for sharing:)
Thank you, hope you are having a great week!
You should do another video of a peek into all your refrigerators and pantry again!I love when you did that video
I will do another one, we are getting ready to move the freezers to Ken's garage here soon.....I can shoot a video then. Hugs Shelby
Love to watch you be creative with the leftovers. I can't believe how many people don't take advantage of their leftovers. That lasagna looked so good! I'm gonna get to have my favorite little man for dinner on Thursday night again this week - gonna do GF fried chicken tenders, fries and fruit! Chick-filet is his favorite place to eat so Grammies gonna do it at home for him.
What a wonderful Grammie you are, crating all those beautiful memories!!!
Twice baked potatoes, the lasagna and bread sticks...oh my goodness!! 🤤🤤 thanks for this vid it was great 👍🏻 ❤️❤️
Awe thank you
My niece introduced me to the Norwex veggie scrubbing cloth. I love it.
Leslie I have heard great things about all the Norwex products. I haven't tried any though. Art did a great job on the front porch, it looks wonderful.
TheQueensCabinet I have a couple Norwex things. My favorite is the window cloth. Yes the porch looks very lovely and the gardens look so much better.
everything that you make is fabulous. You are my hero!
I have been a vegetarian all my life...but Im seeing ur videos in awe...you are such a good planner and cook...Im def gonna incorporate some of these ideas in my vegetarian meal plan
Great budget advice, WOW! Thank you
Great video! I really enjoyed all your creative ideas for dinners!
Thank you Dawn!
I love your meal plans! So creative!! ❤
Thank you Erin for the kind words!
I totally agree on the sacred budget! We just lowered our grocery budget and I had a stern(ish) talk with my hubby not to even look at a grocery store! When he goes, who knows what he'll come back with!
Merril I always make my list before I leave the house and ask everyone if they want anything. Ken has a bad habit of throwing all kinds of stuff in the cart, I call them "unauthorized purchases" hahahaha
Thank you for making this video of these recipes. I made the Kalua pork and changed it to be pork tacos by adding different spices.
I love your videos! Calms me and gives me ideas :) all the food you cook looks super delicious 😋
Thank you for the kind words of encouragement Hayley!
Your food looks absolutely amazing!
Thank you Jennifer!
Ok your a chef and didn’t tell anyone lol 😂. I know this is an old video but I just found it. I love watching you cook, your family is so lucky to have someone that can cook all these wonderful dishes. Hugs 🤗 from 🇨🇦
Great ideas! Enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Thanks Dee Dee
Oh Shelby, you’re just fantastic! What can I say, you’re my role model for sure. Everything looked wonderful. And I loved the budget explanation at the end. I’m working on trying to figure a budget. I do $40 each as well. It’s tough though. I keep at it. Thanks for the motivation!!! God bless 🙏❤️
When you find the right budget that is half the battle. The way food prices are going we should have a cost of living raise each year LOL
TheQueensCabinet you’re so right!
Thanks for explaining your budget. We do ours basically the same, except for the leftover cash I like the idea of putting it in reserve for the food budget.. especially if something would come up on sale. Your meals look fabulous, I wish my hubby would be a bit more adventures with food.. Hugs ...
Hey Tina girl!!!!! Put that money back into food budget and in just a few months you would be amazed!! Trust me. Love ya girl Shelby
Oh I love twice backed potatoes but I personally can't eat the cheese. Thank recipe for the bread sticks. I. Definitely gonna try this. I recall my grandmother saying the yeast isn't the same when she brought in in the 1970's. Yes 1970. Lol I was 9 years old. I miss my grandmother so much. Thank u Mrs Shelby❤❤❤❤❤😗😗
Your fruit always looks so good!!
Thank you Courtney!
Love your channel. Girl you can cook!!
This whole meal plan made me drool! You sounded like you may have a cold...hope you are feeling better!
Thank you I just tired, we have so many projects going at the same time and have lost of family and friends visiting! Shelby
Another great video--thanks for explaining your budget!
My pleasure Kim
You always have such yummy looking food! Good cook!!
Thank you Dianna
Love your videos!! Definitely trying some of these meals
Thanks Kimberley
Hi Shelby!! I love your videos! Its just me, my husband, and my dog for now. Can't wait to start a family so I will have a reason to cook all these delicious recipes! :-)
Awe Tiffany, wishing you and your husband all the best! Shelby
Great video as always. Can you do a video on all your kitchen supplies you have and use? (Pots and pans, baking sheets, knives, cooking utensils ect)
Vwhip such a good idea !
Good idea
That is a great idea, will do! Shelby
loved the video. everything looks so delicious. must try that roast recipes and the vegetarian lasagna. thanks for sharing.
We made your Easy Mac & Cheese for supper tonight. SO good!!
That is so awesome. You totally made my day, thank you! Shelby
OMG, I could have gone face first in that bowl of potatoes! They looked so good. The mushroom sauce looked amazing. Anything with mushrooms, I'm in! Have a wonderful week. Look forward to the next video.
Carol you have me cracking up, the potatoes were so good! Hope you are having a great week too. Shelby
I agree with both of your comments on the potatoes and the mushrooms. (Face first and anything with mushrooms, I'm in). :)
I love watching.
Thank you Vita!!
Hello, every thing looked delicious. I was getting hungry just watching. I am gonna try and make your Mom’s lasagna. Great video. Ken is so blessed to have such a lovely wife and great cook. I am sure he must be a content fellow. Blessings 💕🙂🦋🍉🇨🇦⚓️🦆
Sharon I had to read your comment out loud to Ken ahemmm hahahhahahahaha Blessings to you too!!! Shelby

Awe thanks Heidi, I love the OPI polish and the names are always so cute. Shelby
Oh my goodness, looks soooo good, I am positively drooling! Thank you for sharing... I'm off to the store😂😂 making you're chili and cornbread with honey butter today.
That sounds divine, it is raining here.
A few years ago, I stopped cooking my lasagne noodles before baking off. No, I don’t buy the oven-ready noodles. I can’t tell the difference and I’ve never looked back! 😊
OH POOR KEN!!! HIS A SAINT!
Hi, love watching your videos, that lasagne looks yummy
Thank you
Awesome meals, those ribs.. oh my! 💕
Tina girl, they were so good. I think after smelling the smoke all day, a BBQ stick would taste good hahahah Shelby
I learn so much from you😃... Thank you for sharing
My pleasure Vicky!
I had to LOL at the "lower carb" salad bowl. Sugar, coke , rice and beans. :) It ooks so good!
Ken calls it Shelby Logic hahahaha Hugs Shelby
Man that's looks so yummy
Thanks Michaela!
WoW!! Awesome week. Lovely recipes. Really enjoy your videos!!!TFS ~chelle 🌻
Thank you Chelle!!!
That lasagna looks incredible
Blessings ❤️
I have been binge watching your videos and I enjoy them so very much. They bring peace to me. Your voice, your demeanor and your love for your family shows in your dedication to them. I would love and I mean absolutely love to do as you do, but I can't count on myself to stick with cooking. I have health problems and I think I have watched enough to assume that you do too?? However, you manage to cook daily and I will be honest with you...I manage to cook maybe 2 times a week and it is killing us financially and health wise. I have had this feeling to ask for you to pray for me and I wanted to do it in a private forum, however, I am so not computer savy...so this will have to suffice. I have need of great prayer and I feel every time I watch your videos a sense of calm peace that only comes from Jesus. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in to making others cook better, feel better and live better. Blessings, Nina
Wow Nina, I just read your comment and I am so humbled. Among the most important prayers is "Teach me to love You above all else". When we truly desire God, when we want His will realized and when we ask for what brings Glory to Him, He is eager to give us anything we may want. The role of homemaker is so important to God,so much that my channel name QueensCabinet is a nod towards Queen Esther's encouragement for us homemakers. I do have some health issues, but I try and break down bigger tasks into smaller tasks. When I have to take a break, I gives thanks for what I was able to accomplish. One thing that helps me is meal planning. I generate my grocery list, from it and use it like an architect would use a blueprint. I glance at it before I go to bed, so if I need to thaw meat overnight I remember to do that. If I am serving tacos, I might make some salsa early in the day and rest if I need to. Each little thing that gets accomplished through out the day, adds up to big results. My prayer for you is to start each day with a grateful heart!! To be able to see all the positive in any situation. Try and think of something positive even when you may not be feeling well; it changes your thinking, allows you to be more productive and makes you happier. Having a plan, even if it is peanut butter and jelly, can also save so much money and be healthier too. Pray within His will, persistently, unselfishly and in faith, you will receive what you need. Much love and Blessings Shelby
New to your channel, for $3000 haul brought me in. I love the set up of this meal plan/ what we ate/ grocery haul. Plus love the budget at the end. I think Im going to see if I xan work that into my system. Is your house hold size changing something that happens a lot? How do you work that into your budget?
Hi Cassandra, and welcome to my channel. We had my mom living with us when she was on hospice along with some family members helping to care for her, she passed in April. So now we are a family of six, our boys are all college age. Plus we have a lot of friends and family that come and visit us. I budget 40 dollars per week per person. Hope that makes sense. Shelby
Do you own a lot of cookbooks? I love cookbooks for inspiration. I don't necessarily like to follow the actual recipe, but I love to read them to get ideas of what to cook. Your budget offered some great suggestions. Every meal looked absolutely delicious and very attractive. Thank you and many blessings.
I don't have a lot of cookbooks but I also enjoy thumbing through recipes. I do have a recipe binder that I put tried and true recipes in. It has grown over the last 30 years to 3 volumes. Sometimes I look through it and think I haven't made that in a long time. Hope you are having a great week. Shelby
I love your recipe for Tomatillo Sauce :)
Thanks
Wow, this meal plan was right up my alley, loved everything! Such a great idea to show all the ways to reuse the leftover pork, I always struggle with that. Do you ever do meals in a slow cooker? With school starting soon, I'm going to need 2-3 slow cooker meals a week and I'd love to get some new ideas! Thanks so much :)
On you tube if you look up "Whip it up Wednesday" there is a whole bunch of us that post slow cooker recipes.
I love how you always present your food uniform I wish I lived next to you I always make kalua pork and now I will try to make the carnita tacos!!! Thanks for sharing Shelby......please adopt me hehe kidding........not really!! ugh lol
Sabeena the carnitas tacos are so good from the leftover Kalua pork. You will love them
Yummy, for everything 😄😄
Thank you Susie!!!
I’m deff thinking about begging you to move in 😂 everything you make looks so good!! Now I’m staving (:
I am the youngest of 4 and the only girl , my brother Mark is a fairly picky eater and doesn’t like mushrooms,onion or green peppers , when I was young if I tried one of those he would say “eww we don’t like those Karin , I was living on my own before I retried and liked onions and peppers , still dint care for mushrooms and really dint like them canned . Love your lasagna dish .
I love the taste of Kahlua
:D
And as always Shelby...... I'm hungry girl😤😁😘😎👍
Awe thanks Chrissy!!
I love watching your videos. I wait for these every Sunday. I have been meaning to ask if any of your sons inherited your ability and love of cooking? My family has loved every recipe of yours that I had made.
Tammy thank you. Our boys do cook from time to time but mostly they just eat hahaha Hugs Shelby
Yummy!
Thank you Michelle
Love your channel
Thank you Robin
LOL ... I thought the Kahlua pork would have Kahlua in it, but pork taco's are my favorite, had some out yesterday and where we go you can get them "Mexican Style" or American ... I like the Mexican style topped with raw onion, cilantro and spicy sauce that they make ... relish, but I'm going to try your pork for sure. We are just 3 of us, but my daughter eats at her boyfriends most evenings, so I'm struggling to learn to cook for two without too much leftover as we just never quite finish it all up. I am trying to also learn to meal plan a bit, I think it will make it easier for us to shop once a week instead of every other day and shopping on a whim, whatever strikes our fancy, the other day I spent $11.93 for cherries, I walked out thinking something is wrong with the price I just paid, thats when I realized the price had changed not he cherries, but almost $3 a pound, yikes, I brought them home, but I'll be way more careful. As always thanks for your meal plan and lovely recipes, I'm hungry now.
I don't know what I'm going to do when it is just me and Ken to cook for. I know it is going to be a challenge to cook in smaller quantities. Do you have a food saver? I used to pack cooked food in individual servings when we went camping and then just reheat in boiling water. Hopefully those were good cherries wink wink :D Shelby
So jealous of your stores meat prices. I might faint if I saw those prices in metro Atlanta grocery stores. Totally off topic, I would love to hear your thought processes on how you will be designing some of your gardens-cutting, veggie, herbs.
Brenda I am doing a back to Eden garden, I don't want to have to till or pull too many weeds. I asked a cow farmer for manure, he said I could have all I wanted. I found a cheap source for wood chips and have been saving all my delivery boxes. So once we get the different layers in, we will let the garden sit over the winter and it will be ready to plant in the spring. I hope to design it like a potager; part cutting flowers, part herbs part veggies. I'm thinking of four foot blocks with walk spaces in between.
We are putting in 240 evergreens, next week. Finally getting around to some fun projects!
Hi Shelby, loved your vlog today. Your Hawaiian theme at the beginning of your meal plan made me think of my mom's Hawaiian Baked Beans. You have to try these sometime. They are delicious. Do you want me to post the recipe here? Have a great week!
Kelly YES!!!! Please post your mom's recipe. I would LOVE to try! Thanks in advance Shelby
Ok here we go:
Hawaiian Baked Beans
Preheat oven 350
Bake 30-45 min
1 can lima beans (all cans are the 14-15 oz unless stated otherwise)
1 can kidney ( dark red)
1 can baked beans (Bushes is fine)
6-7 slices bacon
1 med onion diced
2 tbsp. worcestershire
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 small can chunk pineapple (can use the tidbits too)
1 tbsp. maple syrup (optional)
Drain lima and kidney beans, fry bacon, sauté onion in grease.
Mix first 5 ingredients in a dutch oven.
Add remaining ingredients.
Heat to a boil on med/high heat stirring occasionally so not to burn bottom.
Put in lightly greased 13x9x2 pan. (I use the bacon grease with a paper towel to grease)
Cover lightly with foil and take foil off last 5 to 10 min to brown top.
This makes approx; 6 to 8 healthy servings, this is a crowd pleaser.
It really tastes better the next day, great for left overs.
I have never tried this in a crockpot but I bet it would be easy. Hope your family likes this as much as mine does. I get asked to bring this to family get togethers or my mom's pumpkin pies. :)
yum!
Thank you Christa!
Hey Shelby! I’m going to need a to go order of your moms lasagna ❤️ I wonder if Door Dash will bring it to my state😀Everything looks delicious as per usual!
I thought you might like it Mia, Ken didn't even miss the meat. I think I am going to sneak a vegetarian dinner in now and again. :D Shelby
TheQueensCabinet lol Ken said it was delicious I’m sure😀Great, I cant wait to see them!
I do $250 for 6 each week but I do the same. I keep my surplus separate and it is mine to spend on household items as needed. One year I was able to hit a good sale on chest freezers and got 2, that gave me more room for bulk shopping so I save even more
That is AWESOME!!!! I love love love how being frugal always leads to an abundant lifestyle! Good job!
QUÉ RICO!!! YO QUIERO CALUA CALUA!!!!
Hello! I randomly found one of your huge haul videos. In one of them you had a pizza...I think you may have made it ahead of time and froze them. I neeeeeed to see how you make them. It looked so good. There was also a taquito in the video also. Must see these recipes. My husband wants to know why he isn't being feed this well...lol! Thank you!
Hi Heather and welcome to my channel, you are too cute!
Here is the freezer pizza video
th-cam.com/video/XLkHJNJfo7c/w-d-xo.html
and the taquito/rolled taco video
th-cam.com/video/FSooAdA7WI4/w-d-xo.html
what's the difference between regular oregano and mexican oregano? looks delicious! I'm considering canceling my Hello Fresh and keeping up with your meals! Also do you fry those shells? I need to quite watching these at bedtime lol. I'm hungry!
Great question Amy, I believe the Mexican oregano has notes of citrus and anise. I do fry the shells so they are crispy but still pliable. Hope you are having a great week. Shelby
What determines when you use a non-stick skillet or an iron skillet?
can you freeze the twice baked potatoes before the final bake?
Love watching your videos weekly! Just curious if you are still counting WW points?
Taylor I lost 25 pounds and when My mom passed in April things were hectic and I stopped. However, I want to loose an additional 25 pounds before next summer because Ken and I are going on a cruise. I just need to restart. How have you been doing??
Love as always ❤ Could you please tell me a good knife set and pot and pans to buy please?
Melissa I use mostly 3 knife; a chef, paring and bread knife (serrated). Wusthof knives will last a lifetime, and are a great investment. Kind of along the same principle, quality over quantity, All Clad have great pots and pans. They are pricey, but they last forever and are of such high quality that it cooks food evenly and are a joy to work with. Shelby
TheQueensCabinet thank you so much ❤ I am remodeling my kitchen so that's means I get to pots and pans. 🤣🤣🤣
Please can I have the recipe for the veggie lasagne? Looks wonderful! X
Spinach and mushroom lasagna
12 lasagna noodles
1 (15-ounce) package whole milk ricotta
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 325.
To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, mushrooms and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions.
Spread 1 cup mushroom sauce onto the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish; top with 4 lasagna noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta cheese, 1/2 of the spinach, half the parsley, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Repeat with a second layer. Top with remaining noodles, mushroom sauce and cheeses.

In small bowl place 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and a pinch of dried oregano. Brush mixture onto bread sticks. Let rise 45 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Everything looks so good! Four dinners from one big pork butt, that's impressive! My family loves twice baked potatoes. We always have them for Christmas dinner with beef. TFS.
You doing okay shelby?
Donna thanks for asking, I am more tired than anything. We have too many projects going on right now. We are finishing up the solar/generator install, planting 240 evergreens, getting ready to plant an orchard, putting in the wood broiler, domestic water to the garage, septic for garage bathroom, installed propane tanks for generator and garage, prepped the lot for the pond, we are hosting a wedding reception, and getting the garden plot ready for next spring.....I'm just a little tired. I told Ken no more new projects, we are working harder now than when we worked. :D Plus a house we carried the mortgage on is selling in California, so it seems we are at the notary at least twice a week. Plus, it has taken me awhile to recover from my mom passing in April. I hope in a a month or so things will have calmed down. Hugs girlfriend!
Yeah I cannot imagine why you are tired. Lol. Take care!
I love this video! how many kids do you have?
Thank you Samantha, we have four college age boys. Shelby
Can I have the recipe for the Hawaiian Mac salad PLEASEEEEE 😩
Quick question ... do you think you could freeze the twice baked potatoes ahead of baking and then bake later?
Absolutely Nicole
How many children do you have. Just wondering why the size of ur family fluctuates. Loving ur video
Love all your videos make a blog
It is my goal to make a blog, I hope things settled down where I have the time!
How many are you serving? We have 4 so I'm trying to do that math. An almost 5 pound roast only lasts one meal for us with usually some left overs for two for lunch.
Jen we cooked a whole pork butt, I want to say it was about ten pounds; we have 6 in our family. Shelby
yum
Thank you Shakara!
