My pleasure Donna, how are you doing?

Shelby, we are doing well. Trying to adjust to life without my dad and busy handling all the estate and property matters, etc. that go along with it. Thanks for asking. Hope you are doing okay as well. 💜

[@TheQueensCabinet]

[@donnastratton8397]

Yes 💜

[@marisastoneobrien7834]

What a beautiful salad. You always take the time to make things so beautiful. Hey, could you do a video in about how your meal planning differed before you retired? Did you pack lunches for yourself and Ken? What did those look like. So inspiring you planned and achieved your goals.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Marisa Ken and I took leftovers for lunches for years. The last few years Ken would come home for lunch and I would prepare it for him, things like tacos, soup, salads etc Shelby

[@nicolas5287]

Yum! That chicken sandwich looks delicious!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Nicola

[@nancyosgood777]

I love these videos! It is so soothing watching you prepare these beautiful meals! I think I'm a pretty good cook but, your family must really love coming home for dinner every night! Most of the time it is just my husband and I for dinner every night and I always make a nice meal but, I love it when the kids come around and I can cook for them too!! Your salads are masterpieces!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

So happy to see you back in action! Everything looks beyond tasty! But i dont think the links in the description are working? :(

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Awe thank you Laura, I went back and checked the links, they should be working now. Shelby

[@lifeofamil-wife]

I am a new supporter. I came over from parsnips and parsimony. I am looking forward to getting to know you

[@TheQueensCabinet]

It was such a joy meeting Art and Janelle, we even got to meet her parents. Welcome to my channel, we have a fantastic group here. Shelby

[@dsierraluce4718]

Ok question.....and you might have already answered it if so I apoligize but before you make your weekly menu do you look through ads to see what is on sale and then try to fit your menu to that? Or how do you come up with these ideas of what you want to make for the week?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I do that for sure, and we also take advantage of meat sales. I try and keep the basics in the freezer like ground beef, boneless chicken breasts, pork loin etc So if the grocery stores don't have good prices one week, I can just pull from the freezer. I have been trying to use more seasonal produce too, it is usually cheaper and higher quality. So in the summer we eat a lot of corn, watermelon, tomatoes etc and I try and use those items when meal planning. Shelby

[@dsierraluce4718]

Thank you so much for your reply and that's very smart. It seems as if my family grew from 3 to 6 overnight so I am trying to be more organized and meal planning sure helps with that. I find it overwhelming but watching your videos gives me hope that I can do it, so thank you a million times over. :)

[@MyFullFiguredLife]

Oooh I love that zester where is it from?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I found it at Williams Sonoma, and snatched it up. How have you been?

[@NukkinMisfit]

YUMMY!!!! Everything looks delicious!!!!! As always, you are making me really hungry!!

[@LlamaMama60]

Your plates always looks so dran good... you really need your own cooking show girl.☺

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Aw Vicky thanks.........have you seen my hips? I need a eating show hahahhaah

[@Sinatra4]

Thank you Shelby I just love your recipes. I made the baked beans three times in a month they are such a hit with us. I made the chick-fil-a chicken strips and sauce that was a big hit. I can't wait to try these recipes. Have a blessed week Shelby💗

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Deb my family and friends always wants me to bring those darn beans too hahahahah I was so happy to find that Chic Fil A copy cat recipe, it tastes especially good on Sundays. :D Shelby

[@dianeb9435]

I have never tried a blood orange. I wish the name was different!

[@scoutthespaniel978]

Diane B sometimes they are called Moro oranges.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Crystal I couldn't remember the name, thank you for sharing. Shelby

[@ng3069]

Your salads look devine! I love that you and Ken have date nights. My husband and I are raising our three grandchildren and it’s something we don’t do nearly enough. I applaud you for it!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you. Ken and I are trying hard to carve out a few minutes each week for us, I think when we do we have more to give. My hat is off to you raising your grandchildren.....I'm tired just thinking about it :D Shelby

[@robincook4349]

when my mom died I was no good to anyone for a few months, then I cried every day for a year when I drove home from work.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Robin I have been trying to get back into some sort of routine. I have moments in my day when I think of her and tear up, but I am starting to have more moments when I think of her and smile. It just takes time......thank you for taking time for sharing and offering such beautiful encouragement! Love you Shelby

[@Iheart2cook]

Hi Shelby, so happy you're back. You give me so much inspiration! Everything looked delicious. So much vibrant fruit and vegetables. I need to take a page out of your book and do the same for the upcoming week. Did you use sweetened coconut flakes on your coconut chicken? TFS!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you, yes I used sweetened coconut. I'm trying to plan a healthy week this week, starting back on WW........sigh :D

[@thehousewife8859]

Shelby can you please adopt me ? I will behave and clean my room as long as you FEED me ☺

[@VictoriaPaxton]

I love Origins Cafe. Took my son when he was 15 to find his name in the Who's Who in league baseball at the hall of fame. Someone told us about Origins. We ate there 4 nights 😁 Your meals look amazing as always

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Victoria Origins is my hidden pleasure for sure, the food is always fresh and locally sourced. :D Shelby

[@Shasync]

The household background noise is hilarious. Feels like we are right in your house with ya 🐶

[@scoutthespaniel978]

Shannon L I loved the dog slurping up the water! That was cute.

[@scoutthespaniel978]

Shannon L 9:25 onwards totally amused me.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Aw Vanessa.....thank you doesn't seem like enough, but thank you! Shelby

[@marquitabortiz4718]

Girl! Love your food & Recipes BUT!! You do like what I used to do…. Tsp the utensils on the edges of glass jars snd ceramic bowls! My Home Ec Prof cured me of it! She told me I go from #1 in the class to last if I did it again! I was sure motivated!! & cured! She explained you epild/ could break little glas/ceramic shards in my food and it would have to be thrown out!! She also got me to break raw eggs into a bowl Girl’s, then add it to my recipe. Some eggs are spoiled or bloody! You can’t add it to the recipe. Using the small bowl first. You save all the heartache of messing up the recipe from tainted eggs!! There is a reason for everything. Trying to reach my 2nieces!! They get tapped up snd want to speed things up and forget.. could ruin the recipe!! Otherwise… 💜 your recipes. Soo respect you for cooking at home soo often. At least you can say you know what’s in your food!! M
