The only things that I batch cook are pasta sauces (because I usually cook too much for just one person anyway). And I like to bake banana bread and then freeze individual slices to put in the toaster as a quick afternoon snack :)
I use a Hobonichi weeks as my fitness planner. I record sleep, deep sleep, meals and workouts. In the notes section, I've been writing recipes, so that when I meal plan, I just flip through the book, but I'm tired of re-writing the recipes every year so I cut out my favorites and washi tape them into my current book. But I love the idea for what's in stock idea and when did I last. I found I'm consistent this year because the Hobonichi goes into my everyday wallet so I always have it with me, even if I don't have my planner.
My monthly meals page is very similar to this one 10:08 except that I replace the snacks column with a "menu" section, where I can write my planned Hello Fresh meals or other meals I plan to make each week. I don't do a ton of snacking so this works great for me 😊
I keep a weekly menu plan and a shopping list in my planner. I also have a list of new recipes to try that the kids have found, hoping to get them cooking more and eating more variety and less processed crap (I take ownership of processed easy meals far too often BUT am attempting to change it with them doing the bulk so it might stick for them)
Oh my I wish my life was that organized I'm lucky if I eat a meal a week as a single person it would be mine blowing for me to have a journal and followed it like that.
Until now i have just recorded meals i ate, in my sport journal. But this video makes me want to try some new spreads for sure. I would like to anticipate more what i eat. Thx for all the ideas and the nice and efficient spreads.
Definitely adding the "What's in Stock" and my area's seasonal food chart in my recipe book. I've been waiting for a video like this forever and there are so many ideas! Thank you so much for putting this out before the holiday season Jess! For meal prepping btw, highly recommend America's Test Kitchen's book "The Ultimate Meal-Prep Cookbook". ATK in general is in the same vein as J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's material so I think Vogel will appreciate the science-forwardness of ATK's stuff.
the post-it strips from the weekly meal plan is a brilliant idea 👏 love all the other ideas for inspiration for my meal plan journal 🥰 3:15 also did not expect this, this is a good ideas too!!
Oh, this is nifty! I started collecting my regular recipes in a Notion page, but I haven't really taken the time to set it up nice since I just click the links. But I definitely need a master meal list, and I should probably look into adding some charts for what I can use ingredients for and what I can use as substitutes. That can be half the battle for me.
I’ve had in mind to set up a dedicated “kitchen journal” for quite some time. There are some really great ideas here, thank you. I really like the “in stock” and “what can I use this for?”. I would definitely put pomegranate molasses on the latter… 😋
I just had to rewatch it again 😄 so many cool ideas and I’m about to set up my new bujo - oddly enough I‘ll have to start in November 🙈😄 However, I really need the master meal idea and the list of favourite recipes & where to find them - I have tons of cookbooks, loose recipes out of magazines, some saved online - it‘s a huge mess 🙈 (yeah, to sort that out is a task on my „future me problems“ spread 😂) For the „what‘s in stock“ list I have kind of a chalk board inside one of my little „pantry“ cabinet doors & an identical one in the basement - so I know if there is some rice, black beans or whatever downstairs if the one in my kitchen is about to run out, or if I need to go shopping 😊
I am back to weekly meal planning. I just have a table on my tasks for the week page, with the days of the week and a list part. I do this on my Sunday when I am setting up for the week to come, I then go and do my groceries for the week to come. To make it easier I have a small white board stuck to the side of my fridge so the family can write on it as items that are finished or they need. My rule is if it is not on the list it does not come. I also order my groceries online so much easier.
Per your IG post one of my 23 things to do 23 times in 2023 is going to be try new recipes so that one with the recipe name and location will be super helpful. Thanks!
Hi! How did you create the Weekly Meal Plan removable sticky notes? I love this idea but find that paper stickies loosen their effectiveness over time and need to be replaced often. Do these last longer?
The ones in this video are effectively “just for show”. If I were setting this one up (actually, I have done previously) I’d be inclined to use 3M sticky notes as they retain their stick much better I find 💪 I also try to move things around as little as possible (outside of the actual arranging for meal planning) as the less I stick and restick them, the better they hold their stick 😛😅💜
Not sure if my last comment posted so if this is a duplicate I’m sorry. I’ll use the Post-it notes system like you use for meal planning but I use it in my freezer so remember what’s in there before it goes bad.

Oh nice! I like the idea of freezing the slides individually 💪

We keep a restaurants/takeout list to prevent ruts and when we need an “emergency” quick meal option.

You hit the nail on the head! My seasoning cabinet is ridiculous because of needing just a little of certain ingredients.

Perfect
Timing. I’ve decided to make a food journal. So this is a wonderful addition to the journal
Glad it was timely for you! 😄💜
LOVE these ideas!!! I would probably add an allergies spread when cooking for others, as well as "what child doesn’t like what foods" spread😏
Haha 😂 what did child say they loved last week but now supposedly hates, lol
I swear, I need a new spread for my ever changing life and dagnabit Jashi already has a video on all the possibilities! ❤❤❤❤
Haha 😂 glad to be helpful! 💜
Jess, you are incredibly thorough!! Fabulous ideas as always!! Wow!
Thanks Deanna! 😄💜
Awesome video! Love all these ideas 🎉
Thanks! Glad they were useful 😄💜
Oh my I wish my life was that organized I'm lucky if I eat a meal a week as a single person it would be mine blowing for me to have a journal and followed it like that.
We have a bit of this stuff digitally rather than in a journal, but some of these are outside of my level of organisation too, haha 😋💜

Second any American Test Kitchen cookbooks
Oh nice! Appreciate the recommendation 😄💜
I'm not too organized with food, as it's just me in my house 🤗🥰 except when my grandson is with me
the post-it strips from the weekly meal plan is a brilliant idea 👏 love all the other ideas for inspiration for my meal plan journal 🥰
3:15 also did not expect this, this is a good ideas too!!
I love your content. You have helped me form my bullet journal on so many ways and organize my life. Thanks 🙏
Wow! I need to copy all of those things!! Such great information, thank you!!
This awesome! I will add some of the pages to my Collections journal
Thank you, great tips! Will try the monthly plan in november 🙏🏼❤️🇸🇪
This is awesome.
Thanks Deb! 💜😄
I just started another attempt at meal planning for the week, so the timing is spot on ;)
Haha, glad it was timely for you! 💜😄
Definitely going to implement some of these.

Haha that would certainly been an ingredient that I’d put on that kinda list too 😂💜

I love trying new recipes, it's for sure going on my 23 23's list too!
Such good ideas
Thanks Lana! 💜😄

@@JashiiCorrin Great! Thank you. It looks like I could make them "whiteboard" like with tape and just re-write on them instead of moving around too.

Excellent idea! 💜😄
I batch cook thinks like rice or oatmeal.
Half of these are going in my collections bujo 😂
Haha excellent! Glad they could be helpful ideas 😄💜
Same :D
Oh the was great now actually cooking my plan that is my downfall 😂
Haha can relate 😂💜
What on earth are Fat Bombs and Biltong? Omg this is one American that needs to know! haha
Haha I think they're also called Frooze balls 😝 biltong is cured meat though
@@JashiiCorrin Hmmm Biltong... strange mystery meat with strange name ooo ahh :)
Omg FiRsT
On to it! 😄💜
