Meal Plan Oct 2 | Aldi Grocery Haul

[@sarahdpittocco5789]

These are my absolute favorite videos you do besides your “tours”. You give this new Momma of a 3 month old TONS of dinner ideas! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. Feels like home :)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Sarah thank you. Your words are so encouraging and beautiful. After reading your comment, it brought me back when our boys were little. Enjoy every moment, it goes by so fast! Shelby

[@sarahdpittocco5789]

TheQueensCabinet Boys are just the best. Enjoying my little one and watching you during our beloved nap times. Feel like you let us in to a very special piece of your life! So thank YOU for allowing us in to your home. It sure is warm and so so friendly!! Xo

[@scorpionjewel77]

Beautiful meals. My Mama spent the day yesterday watching your recipes. She has never watched KZbin before but I say she's hooked. Thanks for making her day.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

OMGoodness! I believe your comment is the nicest comment I have ever received! Thank your mom for me, and tell her welcome to my channel! Shelby PS give her a kiss on the cheek for me!

[@scorpionjewel77]

TheQueensCabinet I read her this as she isn't super savvy with the computer and she smiled from ear to ear. She has a note pad full of recipes. We plan on making many of your yummy recipes. She enjoyed the story of how you met your husband. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I'm smiling ear to ear too!

[@tammytrommelen7786]

I'm always so happy when I see a new meal plan for the week! You are a fabulous cook!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you for saying so Tammy, I didn't know how to cook when I got married. It has been on the job training hahahaha Shelby

[@juliannebaby]

Those little boxes of artisan lettuce are a staple in our house! They’re delicious and somehow stay fresh for a long time!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Yes Julianne I was excited to find them and they lasted a long time. Shelby

[@sandrak444]

I’d say your family is lucky to have such a great cook. Everything is from scratch and attention to detail. I wish we had an “Aldi’s” in our area. You look like you got some great deals there.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Sandra it is such a treat for me to go to Aldi's, I hope we get one closer too. We have one grocery store in our town and they tend to be expensive. SO we try and stock up when we get to town. Shelby

[@mariewilliams4290]

I truly enjoy your meal plan vids. Your family is blessed to have a great Mom & wife who takes the time to see that they have nutritious,fun ,colorful meals. Keep up the nice channel.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Marie for the beautiful words! Shelby

[@Iheart2cook]

Goodness, I love your channel. I adore the variety of healthy from scratch meals you make. No skimping. I'm off to investigate the links you added. TFS!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Awe thank you. SHelby

[@Nikole1898]

I love your channel Shelby. I get so many ideas. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Awe thank you Shawn for the encouragement. SHelby :D

[@brittbritt517]

All looked delicious again. Hope you are all well! Have a lovely week ahead ❤

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Brit. This week so far has been like Grand Central Station but it is slowing down and I'm enjoying the fall colors. Shelby

[@ignerism9]

That triple berry salad looked amazing!! I'm glad to know Im not the only one that gets excited for going to Aldis!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Aldi's is the bomb. I tried and copy Panera's salad, and the dressing makes this salad. Shelby

[@pearlyb51]

Glad for you that you got to shop at Aldi's, I plan to go there tomorrow. After watching your videos, I got inspired to do an inventory of my freezers and cupboards today I'll do my meal planning tomorrow. Your meals are so colorful and they look delicious!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Pearl I so wish we had an Aldi's closer to us. I am so happy you are meal planning, it helps me when and I and when I don't it is a disaster. Shelby

[@chelseayurkovich8660]

Thank you so much for posting these videos! The visual of your meals to go along with the plan is so helpful! You produce great videos ❤

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Chelsea, I just pretend I'm talking to one of my boys and trying to show him how to make something. Shelby

[@leannepeters7512]

That berry spinach salad looks amazing 😍

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you, the poppyseed dressing makes the salad. Shelby

[@gingerkirby8208]

We recently got an Aldi in our town, and since, after 15 years, I am completely disgruntled with our Publix, Im shopping new stores. A Whole Foods just opened next to my work but Im thinking of trying Aldi for something close to home. Thanks for showing your grocery total! You did great!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Aldi seems to have great prices but they carry just the basics. I buy a few items at Whole Foods, but I heard Amazon bought them out and are supposed to be lowering prices. IDK for sure, I haven't been recently. Thanks for the words of encouragement Ginger. Shelby

[@ninotevdorashvili5060]

Thanks for sharing this yam recipes . Love you meal planning ideas.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Nino. Shelby

[@blanchep216]

So many yummy meals, love all those salads and I'm one who has never made homemade caesar dressing so I will be trying your recipe!! One of my favorite things to get at Aldi is the briocche buns, they are awesome for hamburgers/cheeseburgers!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Blanch those brioche buns are so yummy!!! I was in all my glory shopping at Aldi's, maybe someday we will get one closer to us. Shelby

[@MyFullFiguredLife]

mmm it all looks sooo good! I want a schwarma!!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

It really had great flavor. Shelby

[@jendyson2979]

I made your baked beans for a football party with the family and they were a hit! The menu looks great, it's 6:30am and now I'm hungry for everything 😂

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Nice!! Jen those baked beans always go over at big gatherings, potlucks and BBQ's. When I can find the gallon size beans, it makes it even more affordable to make. Shelby

[@scrappinnwrappin]

Everything you make always looks so good!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you for the kind words. Shelby

[@carolynbeckman6607]

Love Aldis lemon pepper grinders

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Carolyn I will have to find those next time we make it to Aldi's. I want to look at everything, and Ken wants to get in and out. There is so much to take in. Shelby

[@rebekabalogh2321]

Everything looks so good :( I wish I had time to cook these during the week

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Rebeka, it is a challenge to juggle everything. I have come to realize you do your best and it is good enough :D Shelby

[@MyFullFiguredLife]

I looove these!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you

[@klambkin1]

Your household is 10 people? Wow, no wonder you are so organized. I thought in one video you mentioned only having 1 child at home. Love the meal planning and recipes

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Ken and I have 3 biological boys, an unofficial adopted son and a 15 1/2 year old dog. My mom who is on hospice lives with us and we have a few family members here temporarily helping care for her. On average we have about ten at anyone time, however last we had a few more. Shelby

[@Cyndimrktorres]

I love your meal preps tfs

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you. SHelby

[@pamjones6465]

Another week of fabulous meals. The chicken salads sounds delicious. My favorite go to meal. Thank you for sharing the goodness. Have amazing day. :)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Pam I bought two more pumpkins this week and got those processed too!! Thanks for helping me with them. Shelby

[@pamjones6465]

TheQueensCabinet Iove to share. I am tickled that you liked it. It's a staple in my house every fall. :)

[@MelissasKitchenTable]

Wow I didn't realize you were a family of 10! You do such a great job with your meals.

[@Just_janee_]

Melissa's Kitchen Table really I thought it was just her and her husband

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Irene I won't know what to fix for dinner when it is just me and Ken, maybe I'll make reservations.....hahahahah Shelby

[@TheQueensCabinet]

We have our boys, my mom who is on hospice and a few family members here helping with her. Normally it is just 6 of us.

[@MelissasKitchenTable]

TheQueensCabinet your family is in my prayers. You're a strong woman.

[@dorothygray4775]

Everything looks so good

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Dorothy. Shelby

[@queendeema]

Girl I swear!!! You’re the best! Love you soooo Much. Even tho I’m only 20 I stay watching you. Hope you liked ur middle eastern food !

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Awe thank you for the nice compliment. The Shawarma was delish!! Next time I go to Albany I'm going to find grapes leaves. Shelby

[@michelle8824]

i didn't know you were a family of 10, we're a family of 11! i need to get in gear and follow you constantly! love watching you, so much! you inspire me to be better :)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

i'm not perfect by any means, but meal planning helps me so much and it is an area that I struggle when I don't plan. When I don't meal plan, and a hectic day comes along I'm tempted to order pizza but I try and resist and think of what I could do with the money saved if I made homemade pizza. I could buy one of my boys a new pair of shoes, or a book for college or put money towards a winter coat and that usually gives me the encouragement to follow through. Meal planning for me is the key, I just look in the morning and plan accordingly. Plus I know I shopped for those ingredients and don't have to go to the store. Michele it makes me so happy that my video inspires you and by sharing it gives me motivation as well. Shelby

[@michelle8824]

i just binged on you for about 3 hours and i feel really good about things. thank you for that shelby and thank you for reaching out, it means a lot :)

[@MarilynWiley]

You made a good haul at Aldi i havent been for about a year now i need to go before winter sets in i need to stock up on some can goods. Just curious you spoke in the last two videos a family of 10 i always thought you said you had the four boys and you and Ken when did your family grow by four more. That would be a lot to cook for.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Marilyn our household has grown, my mom lives with us and she is now on hospice for end stage Alzheimer's. We have some family members living with us to help care for her. So that brings us to ten, sometimes more depending on who comes up for the weekend to help out. We just want to surround her with people who love her and keep her comfortable, I know she would not want to be in a nursing home. So I start each day counting heads and cook cook cook, hahahaha (ken has a whole crew framing his garage, so today we have 16 for lunch....sigh) My mom hasn't spoken for many months and the other day I was playing big band music for her, and she looked at me and said, "I love you" OMGoodness I cried, it was so beautiful for me. I'm going to hang on to those words every moment I'm with her. I know there will be a day when it is just Ken and I to cook for, and that is when I'm going to have problems. Cooking for two, YIKES! :D Shelby

[@MarilynWiley]

TheQueensCabinet oh my you do have your hands full. Cherish those moments cause you life will change when she is gone. You still,have her bodily with you that means a lot. I lost my mom four years ago and I haven’t been the same she was my friend as well a a mother and I miss her dearly every day she had dementia but we talked daily and I cooked her supper everyday we lived next door and she came here every evening. It is good you have other family to help I didn’t it was just me and my husband to do it all and after several years a person needs a break in my life and I am past repair now. I love to cook but got burnt out over those years of not getting a break or a chance to eat out for a change it’s just us now so we get by eating the same meal for two or three days I still cook large so I don’t have to every day if that makes any sense. Wishing many more memories to last you all a lifetime.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Marilyn thank you for the support, I know you know what I'm going through. You did a great job, being a caregiver is extremely difficult and often you don't get a break. Dementia has to be one of the worst diseases ever.....Much love and God Bless Shelby

[@PogoTheBear]

Your channel is so interesting! Just wanted to tell you you’ve got an 18 year old fan in Pakistan!! I love your meal plans and grocery hauls, they’re chock full of ideas for me to try out myself. That shawarma looked great! Thanks for sharing :)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Wow I am so humbled that you are watching from Pakistan. Thank you for saying the shawarma looked good, I'm not sure if it is authentic but it was very good tasting. Shelby

[@gaylem.8531]

I just love your channel! Thanks for sharing your recipes and menu plans. I'm a California girl myself and I find it so fascinating that you and your husband moved to New York and are living in the countryside. Best wishes to you and your family.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Awe thank you Gayle. We miss our friends and family in California, but many have come to visit us already. Living in the country is a big change from the LA area for sure, but we are loving the lifestyle. Shelby PS I do miss Huntington Beach

[@Sweetzandmore]

Everything looks delicious as usual

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Awe thank you Debra for the kind words. Shelby

[@jojoply]

What is the pattern of the dishes in this video? I really like them!

[@jojoply]

We went to Aldi today! Ours has been closed for remodeling. It is now glorious! Love Aldi!

[@jojoply]

Wow. Family of 10! How many children do you have?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

It is Harvey House Railroad China.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Love Aldi's too!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

We have 3 biological and one we have unofficially adopted. My mom also lives with us, she is on hospice and several family members helping care for her live here temporarily as well. Sometimes on the weekend we have more if other family comes up. Shelby

[@melesai]

Another great store. Aldi produce prices are the greatest!!! Just love that store wouldnt be able to eat without them. lol Bless

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I wish we had an Aldi's close to us, love that store. Shelby

[@love_bella4693]

I am so hungry looking at all this food! lol

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Danielle you always make me smile :D Shelby

[@TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

Shelby, I get so excited for your meal plans😍 I have been looking for those salad dressings and you are so sweet to list the recipe in the description box! I have some chicken marinating in teriyaki right now. I never used this marinade before so I hope it is good! You always give me so much inspiration and I love it❤️🍏🥙 Thank you------Tressa Daigle

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Girl marinades are the best thing since sliced bread. I make a bunch of different flavors, make marinade packets and freeze them That way I can pull them out and have Ken grill them. Ladies step away from the grill....hahahaha Shelby

[@AussieAngeS]

Wonderful m al planning Shelby, absolutely love your organisation, and I need to do things the way you do them lol. Can I live with you? Hahaha much love ❤️

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Angie. I'll cook for you and you can whip me and Ken in shape! :D Shelby

[@MyFullFiguredLife]

Valentina is the best!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Yeeeeaaaaasss

[@kellys7291]

This is it I'm coming over for dinner!!! 😘

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Kelly you made me laugh first thing this morning, thank you. SHelby

[@SailorMishelle]

Wow! That is just the perfect way to sum up this video. WOW! You are just so well planned. I love how all of your meals are from different cultures and you try new things. This is exactly how I want to be when I am a mom. You are a great wife/mom. Everything is from scratch and everything is well balanced. You're really making some healthy boys. Have a wonderful day. I'm addicted to your videos!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Mishelle thank you for such a beautiful compliment. SO very kind of you. Shelby

[@denisemccormick9840]

I had2 take a day b4 I commented as the reality set in...with a household that large you and Ken will never adopt me haha looks amaze’n gonna have2 try the chicken marinade and great share on the homemade dressings!!!!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Denise we already consider you family. Shelby

[@everettaholbert8624]

Looks so delicious as usual!!! Never heard of a couple of those menu items though!!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Everetta, I like trying new things. SHelby

[@meaganrobertson4526]

I am not sure if you have answered this before, why do you not show your kids in your videos?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Meagan my boys have chosen not to be on social media and Ken and I want to honor that. For example, one of our sons is majoring in cyber security and is transferring to Carnegie Mellon for his masters, he will probably work for an intelligence agency or maybe a military contract when he graduates. Any personal information on social media could be a conflict, so that is his rationale and decision. When Ken was working in Law Enforcement we didn't share on social media either, now that he is retired we don't mind. We are doing You Tube so our boys will have a little piece of us when we are gone. I wish I could have videos of my grandma making biscuits or my Dad on one of his adventures. It would have been priceless. I know there are many YT channels that share their family and I enjoy watching many of those channels, but I also think that those children did not choose that for themselves. Shelby

[@meaganrobertson4526]

Well Said thank you for answering my question

[@cindakellogg1307]

Girl, I do like the way you roll!! Everything looked so heavenly! About the air fryer/pressure cooker...I have both and I love them. That's all I use anymore. Just being me, it is so handy to have. I truly think you would love them. Also, I am going to send to you my late husband's red chile recipe. He was the KING of making red chili, so good. He made the best ever. Thanks for sharing with us. Take care...

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Cinda thanks for the info and YES I would LOVE to have his recipe. That is so sweet that you would share it with me. Shelby

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Hi, i am a new subscriber. You have mentioned your family size on several videos. You have also mentioned your boys so I am curious how many children you have and if they are all boys?

[@angelapattillo6299]

Shelby how many children do you have

[@savingasibudget]

Wow did you say a family of 10? Do you have 8 kids then you and your hubby?

[@Canadaheather]

Looks delicious. I will definitely incorporate some of those salads into my meal planning as I am on the weight-loss journey. 10 pounds down this month. Anyway, your sweet potato casserole will be just in time for the Canadian Thanksgiving which is on Monday, October 9 :-)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Heather congrats on your weight loss!. Ken and I are doing WW, we are both turtles. Slow and steady. Ken is down 14 and wants to loose 5 more. I am down 15 and want to loose 45 more.

[@everettaholbert8624]

TheQueensCabinet congratulations to you and Ken on your weight loss!!!

[@Canadaheather]

TheQueensCabinet wow, great job on the weight-loss. I did WW 8 years ago for our wedding in Mexico - I lost nearly 50 but I didn't really incorporate exercise so I gained it all back plus more. Now I'm on the goal of losing 80 pounds.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Heather I keep going no matter what, if I am up or down I go. I figure the time is going to go by, might as well be working towards a healthier life. But the struggle is real. :D

[@onlybev1]

Shelby who is your family of 10? That just blows me away. You. Ken, 3 boys??? Who else?

[@Sheywh12]

Loving this video!! Did you know that Aldi's and Traders Joe's both are actually Aldi's The brothers that owned Aldi's in Germany when they came to the states they had already broken the company in half Due to the fact one wanted to sell certain things and the other brother did not So they took there parents store and divided it... Look up the truth about Aldi's on Utube it gives the whole break down of the business...Such as how they work it employees etc. I found they don't use pesticides which would answer why the fruit veggies have to be ate or frozen ASAP!! Also no GMO or other things in there products... Check it out if you haven't already seen it.. I love your menus wish I your energy and your Kitchen... I have to redo my Kitchen cabinets could use any advice from you right now... Thx for all the recipes yum 👅 Love ya 😘🤗🙏🏻 Shey

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Glad to see you are feeling better Shey. I recently heard that about Aldi's and Trader Joe's. As far as the cabinets, get multiple quotes; Lowes will price match and give 10% Veteran discount. You can also combine the entire order and send it to the bid room, they will discount the more you spend. SHelby

[@Sheywh12]

Thank you so much 😊Did you use Lowe's to put your cabinets in?? Do you know any wholesale places?? Was wondering if we bought them that way and then had them out in and stained or painted them ourselves if it would be cheaper... I love Lowe's customer service they went above and beyond when my washer had to be replaced Gave me a regular washer till it was finished I had my fridge go out..I got it from Fry's they gave me 3 weeks of you know what and no fridge for backup!! Anyway I wasn't ready for this expense trying to stay within a decent budget.. I know you your good and getting a great deal!! Wish money was no object I would love to have a kitchen like yours..It would include knocking out a wall LOL 😂 Take Care HAGN TTYS Love ya Shey

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Shey we bought the cabinets at Lowes but hired a guy to install them. Ours were made by Kraftsmade and came finished. Shelby

[@Sheywh12]

My Husband was telling me the only Cabinets at Lowe's and Home Depot were made of Compressed wood.. .Can I ask what yours are made out of? Thanks for all your help!! I'm working hard at trying to get quotes and still get thru this crappy humidity we're having LOL 😂 Hope we have a fall this year I Love fall as long as the humidity stays at a minimum 🤗😘 Thx 💕Shey
