MEAL PLAN WITH ME 2018 // APRIL MONTHLY MEAL PLAN // HOW TO MEAL PLAN FOR THE MONTH

[@brookedunn5607]

This video, is SUPER HELPFUL. I have seriously been wanting to get my self, and our house on a serious routine. As we kind of are all over the place, my man is SUPER picky, I wish we had it as easy as these meals listed. LOL! He is picky about casseroles, sides, and alot of other things. We always have to come to an agreement! But HE never seems to know what he wants. So when I go grocery shopping, I come back home & he complains of not getting enough of what HE wants. LOL! I have officially made out a schedule as of tonight, help from your ideas, and couldn't be more thankful. I look forward to our method of what I have us on now. Thank you girl !!!

[@Amy.Darley]

awe yay!!! I'm so glad it was helpful!!! I do plan to do some more of these in the future so stay tuned :)

[@daytonrowen4515]

Dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my brother lately =)

[@bodhizev2312]

@Dayton Rowen definitely, I've been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself =)

[@shantiemom2]

This is so helpful I’m a family of 6 and a new stay at home mom and I have been looking at all your ideas thank you

[@loripark6391]

I am hitting the thumbs up because I like what I see and I'm gonna keep watching! Just found your channel. Love the organizing being relaxed because we have 5 kiddos.💜

[@BlancaGonzalesTheBlancaProject]

This is great! I just started planning for 2 weeks, I was doing weekly, but I might do monthly! That would save so much time and money specially if I already know what I will need in the future! Thank you for posting this and I hope you continue making meal plan videos!

[@theresaarcher3667]

Thank you! I have seriously been needing a “how to” video on meal planning! I’m glad I just now found you!

[@kimmolloy8097]

Great video! I have been doing a two week meal plan for my large family for a long time, but I may try doing a monthly one :)

[@rootedinscripture]

I 💗 your meal planning system-so simple but yet well thought out! You have inspired me to FINALLY start meal planning AND to try it monthly! 😊😊❤️

[@heatherjackson304]

I would love to see this monthly.

[@Amy.Darley]

Heather Jackson thank you!!! So glad it was helpful!

[@rootedinscripture]

Me too!! 😊

[@lionlamb2702]

I like the video, but where do you get ingredients list from to go shopping

[@readywithnat]

you make poppyseed chicken, that is the first time I have seen someone else besides my family make it. sooo yummy my kiddos love it! great video thank you. I am just working on my meal planning right now so this was sooo helpful.

[@Amy.Darley]

haha! southern comfort food right?!?! I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@rowiegrl]

Our meal planning method is pretty much the same right down to c/p Sunday’s, taco Tuesday’s and Pizza Fridays. We also like Spaghetti on Monday’s. In the summer we usually bbq every day. So we have left overs on Mondays. It makes cooking dinner at home so much easier! Even thou I’m a planner girl...I love my home binder. P.S. have you tried taco salads into the mix on Tuesday’s? Just corn chips, ground beef pinto & black beans with all the toppings.

[@Amy.Darley]

yes!!! We definitely do some mixing it up on Tuesdays between taco salads, enchiladas, fajitas, etc.

[@KatelynRex]

I would love to see these monthly. I struggle with meal planning. The idea is good but I never follow through. I work full time so maybe that's it. I usually end up doing something quick and easy and it's not always the healthiest. When you grocery shop, do you just buy for the week? Or how often are you going to the store?

[@Amy.Darley]

Katelyn Rex thanks for watching!! I shop for 2 weeks at a time and then I usually still end up going shopping for things like fresh fruit and veggies and milk. But it saves me so much time! I’ve also been doing Kroger clicklist (before that Walmart grocery pickup), which I highly recommend especially as a full time working mom! It saves sooo much time and keeps me more organized and on budget! I will try to add some healthier choices next month, but this month I waited too late to start planning so we have a lot of easy stuff that’s not super healthy. I’m really going to try to do some EASY but healthy meals for next month! 😍

[@KatelynRex]

Sounds amazing. I should try the Walmart pick up. I don't think we have a Kroger. I'm from Iowa.

[@cheyennebright8450]

Maybe try prep cooking so you just have to heat up the leftovers.

[@bradybrowning8274]

New subscriber here🙋🏻‍♀️! Loved this video! It was very helpful. I used to monthly meal plan but have fallen off. This gives me inspiration to start at it again.

[@Amy.Darley]

Thank you!!! :)

[@thefearlessfemalepod]

I’ve just done my meal plans always helps staying healthy!

[@Amy.Darley]

+Z O E A N N A B E L L E yes definitely! I need to plan some healthier meals for next month though! Haha!

[@vikkielmore7058]

Just curious, on the weekends what do you do for breakfasts and lunchs? On most weekends I'm cooking 3 meals, with everything happening and cooking 3 meals for kids since their home for a few weeks, I'm searching for meals for what's available in stores currently! 🙃

[@Liteweaver301]

I just got married and meal planning has been a nightmare, but I think this is going to be a game changer! Thank you!

[@Amy.Darley]

awe yes!!! try it girl!

[@jackienation7694]

So helpful! Yes! Please do these each month! 😄

[@Amy.Darley]

Jackie Nation I’m so glad!!! And I will 😘

[@mamastern]

Requesting "cook with me" for all of your Mondays in April, YUM! 😍

[@Amy.Darley]

thanks!!! I'll try to get some more done! :)

[@michelledulaney5795]

Thank you for this! We also repeat meals from week to week. There’s a couple of things I want to try from your meal plan like chicken spaghetti and orange chicken and a few others. I really need to try this and hopefully it will help us save in on groceries. We typically spend $100 a week for family of 3...

[@Amy.Darley]

Michelle Dulaney I’m so glad it was helpful! We try to stick to around $100 as well for our family of 4 😊

[@lifewithlolalove8904]

Love the video, Im very interested in your book? I'm working on making the perfect planner for myself, with bills, and 3 kids and my life plus my KZbin life lol and everything in between. I was doing just a weekly meal planner but this is just way better! You plan groceries out better. I have my binder I've started already, got some tabs and working on finding printables and stuff.. looking forward to that video!

[@Amy.Darley]

Life with Lola Love awesome! I plan on posting that video this week!!! 😍

[@margiecurran1182]

I liked this video a lot. Yes, keep doing them. It gives lots of ideas for meals. Enjoy your weekend.

[@Amy.Darley]

Margie Curran thank you!!! Yay I’m so glad!

[@XBiscottiLadyX]

I loved this explanation of your meal plan, you just got a new Subscriber

[@cali7150]

My categories are: breakfast, lunch, sides, and desserts. I have the kids choose the menu for the month. Then I do my analyzing of how much I have and need to buy.

[@Amy.Darley]

oh that's awesome! If my kids picked we would eat pancakes and chicken nuggets every day! haha!!!

[@TCJ24116]

Hi Amy could we possibly see another meal plan with me soon? Yours are amazing

[@Amy.Darley]

Great idea! Thank you!!!

[@faeriefire78]

You went to St. Augustine! I hope you enjoyed it here -- I've lived here for almost 20 years and I love it. Will you be doing a video about your trip?

[@Amy.Darley]

SO COOL!!! and yes! We will definitely have a video up soon with all of the fun stuff we did. That's my first time in St. Augustine since I was little and now we are thinking about doing a yearly trip there because we had so much fun!

[@faeriefire78]

I'm so glad to hear it! I'll be on the lookout for that video. :D

[@cfransua21]

This is so helpful!! Please do more!!

[@lorrainecarrillo6218]

So helpful!! I really need to start doing this. I feel like I make the same things all the time and can never think of what else to do 😫 maybe if I plan in advance I can come up with more ideas😊 Thank you!

[@Amy.Darley]

Lorraine Carrillo yes! I was the same way when i was trying to plan for the week. By doing it monthly, I can see that I’m not just cooking the same things all the time too! So glad it was helpful! 😘

[@CountryLissa]

This is a really helpful video! I want to get more into meal planning myself. I also have been doing the Friday pizza days lately, but that's because I'm Catholic and observe meatless Fridays during Lent. :) You have such neat handwriting too!

[@Amy.Darley]

CountryLissa awe thanks!!! So glad it was helpful!!! 😍

[@kendrah4116]

Very motivating! You made it super easy! Hope you and your family have a blessed Easter 😊

[@Amy.Darley]

[@Amy.Darley]

Smoki Whitney hey! I sure did! Here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJzJZH-OZaeefrs

[@saydapaz-g7636]

[@kldavin]

[@Amy.Darley]

Thanks so much!!!

[@lachakatatum1852]

I'm in on viewing your meal planning monthly. I basically copied 80% of your calendar. I would love to see a cook with me on the Bacon Ranch Chicken Casserole :)

[@Amy.Darley]

LaChaka Tatum awesome!!! I’ll try to do some healthier meals next month!

[@amyj8810]

Great video! I actually enjoy meal planning too

[@Amy.Darley]

Live Lively With SAZ awe thanks! I’m so glad it was helpful!!! 😘

[@msgrave]

Yes please continue these videos!

[@CountryLissa]

I noticed someone mentioned pork chops. If you haven't tried it before, look up a recipe for pork chops marinated in Italian dressing. It's delicious!

[@Amy.Darley]

CountryLissa yes! We’ve done that! It’s so good! We’ve also done cream of chicken in the crockpot with the pork chops and put it over rice. So good!

[@SR98889]

Random question. Is your wall color Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams?

[@Amy.Darley]

The gray in our house is Repose Grey and the color in my master bedroom is Oyster Bay :) both Sherwin Williams.

[@Angela-ok2us]

I enjoyed listening to your thought process. Great video.

[@Amy.Darley]

Angela I’m so glad it was helpful!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@rootedinscripture]

That’s what helped me too!!😊

[@mykraeftywifelife8189]

This was so helpful thank you so much !!

[@SweetMagnoliaSara]

Do you usually make your own pizza? Or get takeout?

[@Amy.Darley]

Sara Clemmer sometimes we make our own, but most of the time we get takeout. We also change up where we get pizza from as well.

[@taylorrrsmithh12]

I love these videos! More please

[@Amy.Darley]

thank you!

[@kathymedina7486]

Loved it, super helpfull!!!

[@Amy.Darley]

Kathy Medina yay! I’m so glad!!!

[@claudiaclark4294]

Very helpful to me

[@juliekeenum2824]

Do you ever fix pork chops or roast? Just wondering because you had a lot of chicken meals on the calendar. Certainly nothing wrong with that I was just asking out of curiosity. Great video!!

[@Amy.Darley]

Julie Keenum hey! Yes! Actually my husband grills pork chops every now and then and sometimes I cook them in the crockpot too. And we don’t do roast as often, but we did do one in the crockpot recently that was amazing!!!! I will have to add those next month! Thanks for watching 😊

[@juliekeenum2824]

Team Darley Thanks!!

[@juliekeenum2824]

Team Darley Please share some pork chop recipes in the future.

[@Amy.Darley]

Julie Keenum I sure will! We do pork chops several different ways so yes I’ll definitely share!!!

[@juliekeenum2824]

Team Darley AWESOME!! I can't wait!!

[@raishellwallace1221]

Whenever I monthly plan I do well until it's something I dont feel like making, especially if I have a headache or something

[@Amy.Darley]

Raishell Wallace that has definitely happened to me! That’s why I try to have some easy things on the menu as well so that way it I have to switch a day it’s ok. Thanks so much for watching!!!

[@journalsbyjaydis5840]

I just pulled up this video and my daughter said, "Mom what's her name? She has beautiful hair!" 🥰 Wonderful videos, thank you! 💕

[@Amy.Darley]

awe so sweet!!!

[@wissmboudraf1701]

I tried to make my own diet, but it didn't work. I went to *Next Level Diet* and let them create diet plan for me. I am delighted with the result

[@ksbeck03]

The meatball subs should be on the Monday the 16th not the 9th! You had his baseball game on the 16th!

[@Amy.Darley]

ksbeck03 ahh! Thanks!!! 🤪🤪

[@susanbeyer2383]

Your video was so helpful! I like the idea of having Taco Tuesday every Tuesday and having pizza every Friday! That takes care of two days each week👍

[@Amy.Darley]

Susan Beyer thank you!!! And yes it makes it so much easier!!!

[@phacker24]

Love the video!!!

[@Amy.Darley]

[@isasdance9049]
