My favorite thing to do for when guests come over is have fresh cookies. So basically, every time I make homemade cookies, I make a double batch. I roll it all into balls and freeze half the balls. Then you can just pull them out as needed! I've been doing it since high school 😊

[@ourjourneytohome1646]

Your Aldi grocery planner is genius! I love how you break it up by the sections of the store!! So smart!

[@Barbara-pz8ky]

Hi Megan, Pennsylvania gal here, too...however our kids are grown and gone and we have 3 grandchildren...still I just love watching your videos...your kind heart and family style life make my heart smile. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your every day life and for your inspiration on so many levels.

[@nicolenelson8426]

I have been binge watching your meal plan and recipes lately. How did you know? It was funny seeing that you posted this today! I have been stuck trying to come up with some new meals to try. You show so many yummy things, so I decided to go through your recipes that you have shared with us. The beginning of fall (or tail end of summer) is the perfect time to search for new things...especially for anything pumpkin! 🙂 You are so uplifting and seeing Evonnie helping you in the kitchen really warms my heart. It's so sweet!

[@annawall4103]

Fall and all its colors are my favourite time of year!! I too love October...( I wish only if i could erase Halloween and the horid decorations of it. It puts a taint on the beauty of the season). Everything God has created is done so perfectly... Especially Fall... The leaves are dying and falling and they do it in such a fabulous array of colors... Its breathtaking. Its perfection from our Creator. It leaves me in awe. I could go on and on about every season... Yet, The earth in all its grandeur is nothing to be compared to what awaits in Heaven!! How beautiful it will be!!!

[@shannonhendrix13]

Yes amen! You are so right. Heaven will be worth the journey.

[@janiefoglewohlerspantryand2102]

Just the advice of a chef for many years. I don't want to sound bossy. What I do with my wooden boards is one side is designated for Meat and Fish the other side is designated for produce. Keeps it more sanitary that way

[@dawn7612]

Actually I have a different plastic board for meat and wood board for fruit and veggies. If only one board you could label with freezer tape on each side stating what each side is used for.

[@sharongasparaitis3392]

@janie fogle thank you for the tip!

[@paigesglittergloss]

this video was such a blessing! i love your channel and the light it brings 🤍 i’ve been having some pretty major family struggles lately regarding my parents. it’s been difficult navigating these issues as a christian, making sure i honor my parents but also set boundaries. honestly i would appreciate prayers if anyone is willing! this video brought a smile to my face and truly brightened my day, so thank you for that! & please let’s leave any prayer requests you have in the comments under this, let’s pray for each other sisters!

[@ghostlyrose8946]

Praying for you! I too have had to set boundaries with my parents and it is so hard, trying to be a good child of God, honoring my parents as a Christian, but also setting boundaries as a human. Hugs!

Praying for u.. I agree this is very hard! We’ve been going through a similar thing and it’s not always easy.

[@peggykirk1408]

Love your videos. I'm 74 but so enjoy your youth and energy. I'd love to let you know I appreciate how you let your daughter help you and involve her in cooking and cleaning. She is learning and they are never too little to learn. WTG and keep up the good habit.

[@lindafarrokhzadian354]

I loved your comments how you can get in and out of Aldi....because we know the layout. I am 72 and a trip to Aldi gets me out of the house 🏠. I was laughing and telling my daughter how quick my trip would be.. When I walked in....the whole store layout had been changed... and it was like a hunt for lost puzzle pieces....❤

[@lseabury8203]

Agreed, lol ...FALL is THE best time of all year! Gorgeous trees leaves,fall smells of pumpkin, spices, cooler weather & best holiday, Halloween, which our fam & friends love. Loved your quick & kids friendly pumpkin filled cupcakes ...great idea of filling!

[@laurenwyrick8920]

Love when I see a new video pop up from you, Megan! I always take away a little inspiration, whether it’s mom related, styling or a recipe. You are a breath of fresh air and you have Jesus radiating from you. We need more moms/women/believers like you on YT! Thank you for all your hard work, it’s is loved and appreciated!❤️❤️❤️

[@lcadez]

You inspire me to be a better mom. I love how much you have Evonnie help you at home. My daughter is only 6 months old, but I plan on having her help out when she's old enough.

[@LifeWithMrsB]

Yes! I like to watch and listen whilst I work, I prefer when people chat and do voice overs rather than music 😂

[@pamelahickey2979]

I love your videos! I think it is wonderful how you involve your children as much as possible in your daily activities!! You’re such a good mom!!

[@theresebennett7695]

I wish I meal planned more but my family rarely eats a meal together. My husband is an ER doc and works all over the place in regards to hours and then it is only me and my 9 month old. So I will make a nice dinner or what not when my husband is actually able to eat with me, but otherwise I just go for something quickly for myself and my husband eats at the hospital for free when he has a chance for a quick break out of the ER. But I am an avid baker of breads, French pastry, etc. so I always have baked goods on hand for guests (and my husband often takes things to the hospital for staff). I also always have pasta and taco stuff for easy quick meals in case I need them for guests. If people are not stopping by around mealtime, I always have cheese and crackers, veggies and dip, and fruit on hand.

[@alisameiah5035]

I live with my mum and aunt , their plans change by the hours and we have 3 big fridges and they are all full.

[@jessicamayne3394]

Always have butter and sugar and flour for all of my baking! I usually trade baked goods with neighbors for their produce they are growing in their garden. And then it’s usually frozen meat, eggs, rice and pasta we always have in the pantry. So helpful when we can only really go grocery shopping about once a month

[@brianamatos2607]

So cute that she’s making her own vlog!

[@HomeschoolHomestead]

This video gave me a push to start prepping again! It’s way past due.....5 kids, working, and homeschooling. It..is...time! Those muffins look delicious!

[@carolberubee]

I like having a fully stocked pantry and fridge. It's satisfying when I realize that I need something, I open the cupboard, and there it is. My mother grew up in the Great Depression, so we always had a full pantry. I guess that's where I got it from.

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

I was always the other way and loved to an almost empty and very organized fridge ready to stock up on grocery day. But I'm starting to go the other way a little more. It's good to be prepared!

[@carolberubee]

@@MeganFoxUnlocked yes! I've gone through periods of time where it was like a challenge to see how many meals I could make with what little I had left in stock. lol. It was satisfying to do that, too. But in these uncertain times, I think it's wise to stock up when possible so that I'm prepared. You just don't know what's around the corner.

[@nicolenelson8426]

I've learned that growing up with my grandparents. We always had beans in the pantry. They grew up on ham and beans. So that was there go to if money was tight. I'm kind of the same way myself. Beans, pasta, and rice are fully stocked. We don't eat much of it, but it's good to have when money is tight or you are under quarantine!! It's important to have things for emergencies.

[@LittleHeart5]

I watched a video of yours from a while back and printed the meal planning pdf. I lovvve that one

[@lindsaygrillot5214]

I love all your videos but particularly ones involving meals/grocery/recipes! It's always nice to get fresh ideas for our revolving meal list

[@belindafirley]

Hi Megan, Love your You Tube Channel! You and your family a such a wonderful Christian encouragement not only to my precious family but to so many throughout our wonderful world. I love that you encourage, inspire and share God’s Word with so many. It is such a wonderful blessing. For that I thank you! I also love your ideas and tips for cooking delicious meals for your family! Cooking is something that I love to do for my family also! Much love and God Bless from our family to yours from Australia xxx

Hi Megan - hello from Germany 👋 The "ingredients" I always have on hand are baking stuff (I can always bake "something"), juices (because I Like them but I also Like to offer them to guests), ground coffee, milk and some packaged cookies/sweets to serve with coffee in emergency. This is something I learned from home. When somebody came over we could always serve at least a coffee. I also like to have a decent stock of food and I grew Up with a looooong shelf in the basement where we store homemade jam and homemade canned fruit and vegetables from our Garden. I'd love to try out the pumpkins muffins but I have to check how I can substitute the yellow cake mix. I don't know what would be similar and I usually do not cake mixes. It was so adorable when Evonnie started to vlog with her wooden camera. Such a cutie! She just does what she sees from Mommy like all toddlers and children so. So sweet! Really loved this video because of the Combination of planning, meal prepping and sharing cooking recipes. XOxo from Germany Stephanie

What I keep on hand... a lot. 🤣😂 Ice creams, sprinkles, cones, and syrups. Tatertot casserole, chickenetti, and cherished memory casserole fixings. Canned and frozen veggies. Sandwich fixings. You never know when you will need an emergency meal. Handy for when folks move into the neighborhood, a baby is born or a death occurs. ❤ Yes, Wal-Mart is tricky with little ones, for sure. Aldi is amazing. 🤣

September has always been my favourite month. I see it as more my New Year than January. Especially this year. Ours kids are back in school in my area and I've been baking and canning and just spending some much needed time deep cleaning and, frankly, relaxing. It really feels like a new start this year.

Fun video- I liked tagging along for your shopping trip. I miss America so that's fun for me to see outside the country. For my shopping list I actually have a list of all the basic ingredients I buy, listed in the order I come to them in the store. I keep this on my fridge and check what I need- it's just nice and fast- I don't have to write much out (maybe just a special ingredient or two)- just print out a stack of these lists from time to time. That also might be extra but it's easy and works for me!

In my pantry for emergency pop up meals or unexpected guests, I always keep two cans of salmon on hand to whip up salmon patties and a couple sides that I can usually find on hand frozen or in the can. Also two envelops of Bear creek brand potato cheddar soup ( it’s delicious ) and I’ll add some baked or fried cornbread with that and it will feed several in a pinch.

hey! A tip you can maybe use... as far as looking up recipes and wanting to look back quickly- I use paper clips to mark my pages. I keep a few attached to the back cover and use them when I want to mark a page. Works great!

[@stephaniemarvon8058]

We don’t have company often and none in the last 6 months. But we do keep staple meal items in the house at all times. For example, last week we had our favorite one pot pasta and used up the last of our sauce. It’s not on our menu this week but we stocked back up and got 3 jars of sauce this week anyway. That meal is something we often do at the last minute. I shop at Aldi too! For me and my husband we nearly never spend more than $60/week. This week was right around $40. We shop our fridge/pantry/freezer first like you do. Then Aldi first and only the “regular” store if Aldi doesn’t have it or it’s a rare thing we just like name brand of.

Restaurants are fine every now and again but no often (too pricey). So I cook. I have homeschooled for years. We are into a routine. But standing on this knee is soooo hard at times. I’m ordering groceries today from Walmart. I am going to plan differently so I can plan better. Thanks!! ❤️ God bless you and your family! Your kiddos are absolutely dolls!

1 more thing 😉 We do have an Aldi here (Texas) where I live. But I have never been. I think I’m the only Mama that’s never been! 😆 I definitely want to give it a go next time I’m out and about.

I always keep canned sliced peaches and boxed super moist yellow cake mix so I can make a dump cake. You dump the whole can of sliced peaches in a cake pan (including the juice) and cut them up in smaller pieces, sprinkle the dry cake mix on top of the peaches (don't mix), cut up a stick of butter in little pieces and place on top of the cake mix. Bake at 350 until done. Top with cool whip; it's amazing. You can also do variations using pineapple, cherries or whatever canned fruit that you'd like just not the pie filling as you need the juice.
