What We Eat in a Week- Easy Healthy Meal Ideas for Family

[@stefaniesombaty8980]

I am in awe of you. You are a wife, mom of five, business owner and blogger/vlogger but you aren't a planner and yet you seem so organized. Amazing. May I just say that I really like your channel. It's informative, entertaining and professional with out being too over done. Don't know if I am conveying this properly but some KZbinr's are so over the top that it's like they are a television show with a script. You come off as being everyone's neighbor. Don't ever get rid of the sound of your children in the background, it makes your vlogs relatable.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Aw! Thank you so much, Stefanie! That is so sweet 😊

[@debbiem6406]

Perfectly said!!

[@hartleyfamily5451]

Yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly!

[@Selahsmum]

Agree completely.

[@victorialove9104]

most certainly agree

[@sharib5922]

Love your no nonsense approach to getting things done! Cooking dinner does not have to be some complicated ordeal, I'm afraid things like Pinterest overwhelm women to the point of paralyzation, getting back to the simple ways our grandmothers feed a nation would do us all good!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@gratituderanch9406]

Shari B yes! So yes. I’ve learned so much from my grandmother who was raised by her grandmother. So I LOVE picking her brain, while I still can. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Shari B It does my heart good to hear young women going back to the ways of the grandparents in terms of frugality and simplicity. I love to look at Pinterest too but keeping up with all of that is overwhelming. Looking at Pinterest is all I do and very occasionally I add a recipe to my box. Learning to cook, bake proper and simple is such an amazing skill that pays off in so many ways! Loved this video. I am older and even I learned a few things here! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@thenativenraven]

Totally disagree. Pinterest is what you make of it. I am in my mid thirties and that is where I have actually found the older generations time honored recipes. What is lost on youth, can be found in Pinterest. It's only complicated if you are looking for it to be.

[@rachaelshaabani7137]

JENJENBOBEN i had to stop getting on Pinterest because i usually get so overwhelmed. I'm sure there are great things on there but it's just not for me

[@theMerryMonarch]

In Brazil most of our meals are have the same building block, you just add to it depending on whats available to you so they tend to be pretty simple and easy to make. Just rice and beans and then the meat and vegetables you have. The beans are usually cooked once a week, too. It'seasy because you always know what you're making and there's no fuss. I never saw anything that was simple like that in any foreign youtube channel before so I find your video really nice to watch. It's not the same but the simplicity is there and that's so comforting, really.

[@pjl2963]

I love the way you build meals one on top of another; incorporating leftovers (like the bone broth) all throughout the week. Very enjoyable video!

[@virtualfitnesstv]

I enjoy this one very much! Very delicious ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@gabriellafaithmckenzie]

You're the real MVP and my hero. Thank you for reminding us that we don't have to over plan and strive for perfection.

[@wjcdmartin]

This is my first time to comment. I love all your videos, but this one was so very helpful. Please, please, do this again on another week of meals. Can't wait.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you! I will put it on the list!

[@lucysimons9896]

More videos like this, please! This has been so helpful. I am a Type A person but meal planning stresses me out! I'm going to try this way of cooking this week! Thank you for this video!

[@deannap8894]

Just found you but I love your channel. I don’t plan meals but my dinners are as healthy. My husband is pretty picky he won’t eat certain things. I make a lot of Casserole meals. I love how old fashioned/basic/classic/normal you meals are. You are very encouraging!

[@hey6961]

You have inspired me so much. I as of today found my nearest farmers market raw milk, yogurt to make and cream. I also want to get debt free and be more of a minimalist. Thank you for all your amazing ideas. You have changed my world around now. I wanted to be this way but didn't know how. Ty ty.

[@Lasomie]

pretty cool seeing how different someones taste buds can be

[@ThePlantBasedHomestead]

This was great! You've even given me some idea's and we're plant based eaters. Thank you!

[@anitaanita7162]

Great recipes!! Quick tip, you can place a kitchen towel underneath your wooden cutting boards to stop them from sliding while you chop your veggies :)

[@april82daisies]

Love how you remind me that the answer is to keep it simple!

[@Mleoutdoors]

Love this! The "non-meal planning" idea is so much better for me during my son's hockey season. I was making things too complicated trying to come up with specific meal plans. I saw your other video and thought that was a much better idea. I have cooked more (and better) meals (and faster!) the last two weeks because of this. Thank you for sharing!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

You're very welcome! I am so glad it helped!!!!

[@jillluvslife1640]

Yes! This is how I cook. Great video for others who get overwhelmed and make healthy cooking too complicated.

[@kateykoala]

This/you are a lifesaver. Dead set. I spend so much time pouring over Pinterest recipes trying to plan delicious and creative meals for my small family of 3. AND IT STRESSES ME OUT!! Basic, easy to make meals of meat and veg are ALL we need! My life is changed. You are my Goddess. Addicted to FOB and the simple life. Thank you, a million times.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

So glad to help Kate!

[@analuvsya1]

Great video! A simple, healthy diet you seem to have achieved for you and your family. Thank you for sharing your ways!

[@lindabueckert1864]

I love your simplistic meal prep ideas..

[@lennicorser2553]

Looks tasty and very healthy for your family! Thanks for a great video. So helpful. I have to tell you that you made mention a while back that you keep under ripe avocado in the fridge until right before you use them. This has been revolutionary to my household!! We have not thrown one a avocado since started doing this! Your videos are helpful in so many ways!!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks!

[@hayleysutherland6390]

Can you pretty please do more of these? I'm currently binge watching all of your videos (love them all) and this one is one of my favourites! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@leahrudge8623]

This is great. I would to see a week of your family's meal again

[@aw7239]

You are such a good inspiration for natural cooking! Since I've started following your blog, I've almost exclusively switched to just cooking in cast iron (I have 3 sizes), we don't even own a non-stick pan, and we have begun eating sauerkraut much more! < which is high in vitamin c, and natural probiotics. :) So, thank you so much!!! :)

[@kerryglen1522]

Ok, Im so much more confident about weekly meals after watching this! Love your simple approach. Id love to see more videos like this😊

[@laurensakuma4160]

Your meals are so simple and look delish!

[@leahrudge8623]

I would love to see you do this again now it's your summer

[@turtlet3857]

Try using chick pea flour too, Bob's Red Mill makes some. You've inspired this 53yo and given new vigor to my home! Monday bough 2 cast irons, last night made pickles, sour kraut and kimchi! Oh yeah! I'm doing it!! ✌🏼️

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Wow! That's great!

[@TheWhittierLocal562]

Same. I just purged my kitchen of plastic items and extras that we really don't need.

[@bekkil9024]

You can even make chick pea flour by grinding the dried chick peas. ;-)

[@debbiem6406]

Me, too!

[@debbiem6406]

I meant about the purging and tossing/donating. Feels SO liberating.

[@angelapolly1]

Please do more of this type of video!

[@ClaudiaMiddendorf13]

I do a similar patty with tuna -- I add either cooked rice or black beans to the mixture and a bunch of cilantro, and fry them up like small burgers. Delicious ! Another thing I try is fish tacos with canned tuna--super simple and fast.Just add pickled onion or your sauerkraut and it's a nice change from lettuce. The brine adds a little kick to them.

[@myhousemyhome6305]

I just love this! I am a planner, however some weeks I just don't feel like being a planner. This is so simple and inspiring. Please do more of these - I can't wait for your Spring version.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I was just thinking I should do another. So glad you find it helpful!

[@courtcompton1995]

Instead of listening to music while I clean, I listen to your videos! I love them!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks so much!

[@karleenweidner4026]

Amazing! Love the healthy ideas and tips. Thankyou for showing how easy healthy eating for a family can be.

[@janefromthecountry1820]

Love this video!!!So smart in how you do meal planning! Lisa, thank you for sharing!♡♡♡

[@jukes243]

You take good care of your family, Lisa. You are a "Proverbs 31" woman. Loved every one of your meals.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@MommaFromScratch]

I will be trying these recipes, thank you, PLEASE do more!

[@jukes243]

This is how my grandma and aunt cooked. And, it's how I cook. Uncomplicated, yet delicious (healthy) meals.

[@annacarbone1751]

Just fond your channel - Absolutely love, love, love you philosophy and way of fuss free cooking!!!

[@Mallorymomoftwo]

Thank you! Keep the easy to follow recipes comin! I feel like I don’t know how to make a lot and your videos are great!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you! I certainly will!

[@nancydee6106]

U cook like me! Almost. Im mostly paleo. But on thr fly too! Hate planning too much. Love your channel. Love your styletoo

[@jodireed2126]

This is great! Thank you! I've been implementing this method of non-meal-planning and loving it. I haven't made salmon patties in years. I'm going to pick up some salmon at Costco today and some coconut oil as well.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

That's great! We love salmon patties!!

[@karenwilliams5468]

Awesome i am a put together what i have on hand without a planner. It works for us... and as far as shopping like you've said before staple ingredients at home and in the shopping basket will draw out the meal for the day / evening without wasting or over buying... and for those that plan out whatever works best, go for it. Thanks always for sharing♡ always fun and simply lovely ♡ sweet evening to you and yours🍃🌼🍃

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@bc101ful]

Lisa, could you share what you eat for breakfast and lunch!! Love your videos!! I am so happy to see I am not the only one who gets very stressed with all the planning!!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Terri Chalnick just more or the same!

[@nightgazer251]

Yes, more videos like this please! I cook in a similar way and your channel inspires me to keep working towards my sustainable, debt-free life!!!

[@AE-Psalm91]

Your food and style are IT!! Love it

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you!

[@amywhite922]

I cook similarly. It doesn’t have to be hard and adding leftovers make it easier. If I make rice or pasta one night I’ll make a double batch for another night. Total time saver!

[@amandamills6056]

You definitely make this look easy.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks! I have had lots of practice :)

[@jessicaarmstrong782]

Can you do more of these?? I really enjoy them.

[@RiverPlaid]

Ok....that was wonderful. Just found you and I’m so glad.

[@jeanne_guitton]

Excellent no nonsense approach, and everything looks nice and healthy. I won't get that much meat and sauerkraut into my kids, but the general idea of just doing what works on short notice really appeals to me. Thank you!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you! You're welcome!

[@taniaphillips9886]

Very inspirational will try some of these dishes thank you

[@goav3256]

Wow! You are my absolute favorite youtuber!!! Very good information & motivation... You are a blessing! I like your simplicity... Keep these videos comimg please! God bless!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much! That is so sweet to say. :)

[@virginiagirl9162]

I would like to see more of these please and thank you

[@judi7240]

Lisa, You make cooking look so easy! I can clean a house like crazy but cooking has always intimidated me. Any suggestions?

[@georgevillalpando7057]

I'm glad your kids eat whatever healthy meals you fix. My kids always did too. But my grandson, who has been mainly raised by his mom (parents not together) is very picky eater. He is nine now and his father now has primary custody, which is my son who eats almost anything. LOL :) He and his wife are trying to encourage him to eat veggies but it's sometimes a struggle to say the least. He has leukemia and needs to be eating more healthy foods for sure. We see some improvement and we keep encouraging him to try new foods. He used to eat more fruits and veggies when he was younger when we had him at our house on weekends and other times, but I recent years he mainly just wants meats, fish, chicken, fries, corn, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, pasta in the can, chips, crackers and sandwiches. He loves Chinese food but only the rice and meats. He will eat pasta with tomato sauce. I try to sneak with veggies in the sauce sometimes. He is very stubborn also. He does like yogurt with fruit mixed in it and I have finally gotten him to drink fruit smoothies. He does likes strawberries and jam. Do you have any suggestions on how to get a picky, stubborn kid to eat more veggies and fruits? I never really had that problem with my kids so I'm not sure what else to try except to encourage him to try things and sneak the veggies into foods when I think about it. I noticed you put the leftover sweet potato in the meat loaf. Good idea - never thought about doing that. Thanks, Concerned Grandmother in Asheville, NC - Margaret. P.S. I love your cooking style and your simple living videos. I was raised on a farm and my family did a lot of things from scratch. My dad always had a vegetable garden, we raised hogs and had chickens. I helped my mother can and freeze the veggies and still do. :) My grandmothers did the same. One of my grandmothers made liver mush from hogs liver and other parts of the hog. I know it's sounds gross but it's great fried up in a cast iron pan for breakfast, lunch or supper. My mother and I have always used the cast iron pans for cooking and baking. Homemade biscuits are the best baked in cast iron. Just crowd them in the pan - it's okay. We had lots of pickles, pickled green tomatoes, pickled corn, etc. If it could be pickled we ate it. LOL :) Do you ever make canned chow-chow with cabbage? That is my favorite thing. I am not much into sauerkraut but I'll eat it on occasion as I keep it in the fridge, mainly for my husband. Sorry - didn't mean to ramble on so much.

[@gratituderanch9406]

So thankful I found you! I cook like that too! My grandma did, and I’ve asked her so many questions to learn from her and her grandmothers wisdom. I just love your vibe! Wish you were in the PNW, lol. Looks good.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Aw, thank you so much!

[@dcat0603]

Love these tips and ideas!! Thank you. Can't wait for more! Holly

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@gabyzamora4239]

Absolutely loved all the recipes! They look simple, delicious and nutritious! Thank you for sharing!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@robertafarmer]

So good! Would love a post about your side options and how you make them!! I get stuck in the steamed veges every night.

[@heathermorley8569]

I love your meal videos they give me such encouragement for feeding my own family. I was wondering if you could also make a video or a blog post on breakfast and lunches.

[@wjcdmartin]

I'm with Heather. I'm a stay at home, homeschooling mom and we run out of good breakfast and lunch ideas.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes! I will put it on the list!!!!!

[@TheSunnites]

I love this so much. We eat little to no meat (I eat none) and my son has problems with eating dairy but I'm sure we can do similar with tweaks. I love your plan for keeping meat handy in the fridge thawed and I know it's a lot easier to make a great, filling healthy meal with meat so to not use it requires a little out of the box thinking. I will ponder on it.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks!

[@dawnakarma8913]

Fantastic Lisa~~ love every-one, so healthy and yummy- thank you so much for sharing your great dinners...

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks!

[@ourdiyary]

Yum! Everything looks so wholesome and simple! Love how you reused the chicken bones from earlier in the week. That stir fry looks so delicious! I have coconut oil, but have actually never cooked with it! I really want an instant pot!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Hey! Thank you so much!

[@creativelauri]

Everything looks really good!! I'm vegetarian, so, I especially liked all the veggies you did. I'll have to make the avocado dressing for sure.

[@jcbmom99]

Love this!!!!!!! Please keep doing this kind of video! It’s so helpful

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks!

[@20brulee]

absolutely brilliant

[@patricialazzarotti3701]

I love your channel! 🌹🌹🌹

[@LifeSorted]

Such easy simple recipes! I always stress that I don't meal plan but your recipes are so simple that it doesn't take a lot of planning really. Do you have go to recipes that you use a lot?

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I just make the same stuff over and over. Some kind of meat and lots of veggies, or potatoes. I hardly do recipes at all unless I'm making muffins or something.

[@EveryPeachInReach]

This video must have taken a long time to edit! You did an amazing job! I loved seeing your meals since we have similar diets.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much! This one did take a ton of work. Thanks for noticing that. :)

[@theamericanfarmstead131]

[@PegsGarden]

Hi Lisa!! Everything you made looks so yummy and easy to make, I cook the same way simple but yummy, you gave me some great ideas, would love to see more cooking videos from you :)

[@WelcometotheWoodsBlog]

So awesome Lisa! I loved this video! I take the same approach to meal planning as you and try to incorporate as many veggies as my kids will eat into meals. However, I don't serve sour kraut with every meal ;)

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks!

[@beccapony77]

Love your encouraging videos! I am so inspired to get better at providing healthy and good tasting meals! I appreciate you, Lisa! Blessings to you. :-)

You really are amazing!

[@juliequates9529]

Hi! New subbie! We live on a small farm and real food family. Loved your video on not meal planning. Refreshing and honestly relieved some pressure to make a gourmet meal every night. I'm wondering if you take a similar approach to cleaning? Overwhelmed by the cleaning lists but also feel lost on what and when to clean. Love your channel.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Oh yes! Definitely the same with cleaning and laundry! I am so not a schedule person. I just clean when stuff looks dirty. LOL

[@rachaelshaabani7137]

Oh my goodness, I LOVE this! This is so my style of cooking! Simple, real, yummy food! Thanks for sharing! btw, I make kefir, kombucha, kraut and my own body products also. :)

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

You sound just like me!!

[@rachaelshaabani7137]

Farmhouse on Boone kindred spirits :)

[@mjcm12]

I miss ALDI so much! We moved to a state that has NO ALDI. :-( I always saved so much time and money shopping there!

[@CottageontheCorner]

Love your videos! Nice to see someone actually cook like I do and not just microwave something or order takeout. But...I have to ask..what's with all the sour kraut, lol? Also, here's a quick go to recipe that my family loves: Potato, egg and onion. Basically a bag or red potatoes, baked and then cut thin thrown in a pan with some onion and a dozen eggs. Mix with a spatula while cooking to get the eggs to sort of act like glue. I season with salt and pepper and maybe some grated cheese...supe easy.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Sounds delicious!

[@vintagepearlrodriguez6071]

Awesome mrs Lisa Love it it’s just my husband and myself quick recipes for two lv lv🙏👍

[@bekkil9024]

Thank you tso much for this video. This was so inspiringand helpful. I love your way of cooking. I tried so many times to plan my meals, but it never felt right. I am just into fermentig as well. I will make some Sauerkraut today. I just tried fermented carrots, beetroots, chinese cabbage and redish and they are so delicious. I am now searching for a nice jar to try out Kombucha fermentation.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

That all does sound so delicious. :)

[@lindaalvarez3615]

Thank you, this helps a lot!!

[@oddowen250]

So question ---- What's with the sauerkraut at every meal? Health benefits? I just started watching your channel.

Love the amount of sauerkraut you use!
