  • Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I share this super awesome exciting meal plan and grocery haul with some food prep and food storage video with you!! haha I am SO pumped about the week of meals I have for my weekly meal plan this week that I plan on doing a what's for dinner video on! per the usual, I picked some really great dinner ideas, can't wait to share them! Then I made my grocery list and headed to Costco to grab what I needed for my meal plan! So I have a Costco haul to share with you too! After the Costco grocery haul I prepped some dinner, I made dinner for that night, and then also made a freezer meal to throw in my freezer for another night - cook once, eat twice, that's what I always say. But here's a bit of bad news.. I think there's something funky going on with my outside fridge.. I'm going to have to look into that. It smells weird, like a chemical... google will probably have some bad news for me but I digress. I feel like a food blogger now... anyway I'll continue. haha after that I finally start some bulk food storage! I've been wanting to do this for so long! always a good idea to have some extra food on hand especially with a big family as we have so I'm very happy to be starting this food storage even if it is a little one. Everyone starts somewhere right! Here is my beginning! Hope you enjoy it all! Stay tuned for if I keep up with it haha
    Best,
    Kim!

    Asking y'all to please continue to pray for my hubby and I. He goes next week to a Pulmonary specialist to see if he can have surgery to remove a large hernia removed that's pushing against his right lung. He's on oxygen 24-7 due to Covid damaging his lungs. Thank you in advance. God Bless.

    Kim! You look so pretty today in your NEW Pink sweater AND your earrings! Woman across the room!
    Loved your meal planning and recipe ideas. I always did this about a hundred years ago while raising our three kids. I did it to stay on budget and kept at it which helped us save without realizing it. I mean we had three no stop eaters, but staying within a meal plan and shopping accordingly helped us $ave.
    Thanks for making my day, Kim! Everyday!💕

    Fun fact: a cup of chopped red bell pepper has three times more vitamin c than an orange😃 I go to Aldi for a lot of my groceries because I don’t have a Costco near me - food prices are crazy at some places for sure 💕✝️🙋🏻‍♀️

  • @supawaffles9
    @supawaffles9 Před rokem +2

    When I make stuffed peppers, I cut the Bell peppers in bite size pieces and make it into a casserole. I can add more bell pepper that way as well as different colored bell peppers! So good!! I use 1 packet of knorr Spanish rice, cook as recommended and add a 8 oz can of tomato sauce. Brown 3 Johnsonville sweet Italian sausages and crumble. Once sausage is cooked lightly cook bell pepper and add to the rice. Dump in a casserole dish and top with cheese. I use mozzarella and bake until cheese has browned. This is for a family of 4 so adjust however you need. Quick meal!
