  1. Good Morning Heather and everyone!! ❤ Love your video’s!! ❤ I would love t do a meal planner, I have tried and never works out!! I know what you mean with the winter clouds (gloominess)!! Minnesota gal here!!

  2. Growing up I LOVED breaded pork chops. It brings back such good comforting memories! We always make pork gravy for the quartered potatoes which I called squiched potatoes because you had to smoosh them up yourself. Haha

  3. Another great video! I shopped the supermarket moss leaders this week. I’m well stocked with so many meal options and all so affordable. 😊

  4. Thank you Heather. I have been sharing these videos with my daughter as well. Learning to be a better steward of all that God has given us. Can you do a video on celery? I also would love to see a video on your BBQ Beans. I watched the one you did to music, but I would love to see it in more depth if possible. Have a blessed week Heather!

  5. I have already messed up on keeping up with you on meal planning video's. My dental visit took much longer than expected on Thursday and then Friday we had an unexpected repair on our vehicle that required a few hours in another town. Now everyone is sick 😭 so chicken soup will be coming up and I also have pork chops on our menu this week. ❤

  6. Thank you for doing this for us. I made a mistake last week. I think I need to cook less. A few leftovers got wasted. I'm still trying. Do you do Sabbath prep for Saturday? I'm interested in that too.❤

  7. I don't meal plan, as it's just me, but I do try to have different things on hand for if something strikes me on a certain day. But it's cool you have such an organized way to do it, and I guess with all the people you feed, you'd have to.

  8. Hello from Fla. We make a months plan in a spiral book. We go by apponitments ect. Do not always stay on that plan, it gets mixed. Just finished making 170 mini meatballs for fall soups. Cut chuck roast into cubes for menues. Made 4 ground beef crock pot meals, 7 chicken meals. froze pork chops. Making oriental chicken to freeze ( had to order udon noodles). We will be making 9×13 pans of chili, Impossible cheesburger pie, lasagne ect. Veggies here are so high! I have boughten frozen :(. So happy you & Danny have a wonderful love. Blessings & much love.

  9. Heather, you are well loved by your viewers!

    Some of us are keto or even carnivore, it would be helpful to that group to see some delicious meals that fit this category. Many other channels do put out content but the recipes are kinda gross. 😂While I appreciate them I would love to see my favorite girl do some here or there. It’s just a thought (don’t come at me people, I’m not disparaging anyone 😁)

  10. So, Heather, off topic, but I have a question and hope you can help. I canned apple pie filling, blueberry and cherry in 2020 and 2021. I used the cook starch one from Amish as recipe and it is in the jars in a gelatinous cube with liquid around it. It was beautiful when I did it. Is it done for? I guess it was so much fun I made too much and we didn't eat it fast enough. If they are done for , lesson learned. Thank You Heather, always get ideas watching you.

  11. Thank you for all the tips. You are looking fabulous! So happy to see you doing the things you love! Can’t wait to see these weekly for inspiration.

    Now on to my plan for Week #2!
    Thanks for the encouragement to your followers to meal plan; as a diabetic, it really helps me manage my carbohydrates thru the week! AND…I didn't have to make an unnecessary trip to town because I used what leftovers I had in addition to what I had in fridge, freezer, and pantry ($$ savings!).

  13. Awesome! You have so lite a fire under my butt……I'm in the pantry, the Amish Bulk Food Store now knows me, home cooking has reared her beautiful head around this place!!!….ohhh, baby! YAY! My Wheat Berries are now filled to the brim and rotation is in full speed ahead. Thanks, Heather! This is so much fun!

  14. I am sitting down and planning my meals for the week. So this is perfect! I just love these so so much! Love you, Heather! 🤍 Raylynn

  15. I made my first quesadilla today. We are retired 70 yr old couple so quesadillas weren’t something we ate. My 16 year old grandson made breakfast quesadillas with us camping this summer. WOW! Easy and so good to redesign all sorts of leftovers. I’m hooked, hubby loves! Thanks for your videos and inspiration

  16. Hi There 🎉Heather watching the reply getting pampered, with hair and nails 💅 😍 today is my Birthday 🎉 .BUT my daughter and i are doing the meal-planning list while we are getting our toes done lol we are having so much fun also
    I'm getting the Barn 45 alarm set here in California 😂 again God bless 🙌 🙏 you and your family and everyone's experience here on the Kneedy homesteader ❤

  17. This meal planner is working out SO well! I’m loving it, and using it faithfully. I’m actually leaving it open on my table, so I can see what I’m suppose to fix the next day. Haven’t wasted any food since using it, and using up my freezer stash. Our grocery bill is down and not making in between trips to the grocery store! Thank you for sharing all about it. —-Dawn in WV

  18. You’re so organized you put me to shame, my meal plan is open the freezer in the morning and pick, luckily I am pretty well stocked so I can pretty much make anything. Apple pie filling is my absolute favorite, I have just one left, apples I like to use aren’t ready until middle of October, we have a Northern Spy apple that is huge which I mix with one or two others.

  19. I’m watching it now. You are such an inspiration to me as I am having to go through a double transplant, liver, and kidney and I also have to have a procedure on my heart. You make my day better because I know you have been through so much. Thank you for being such a great example to me and for your Menus. ❤️🙏🏼

  20. Hey beautiful girl. You are an inspiration and definitely doing God's work🙏🩷 I am in the process of shifting my hours at work from full- time to part-time to take better care of my family. I may get a smaller paycheck but look forward to all the money we will be saving on our grocery bill. Before I started working I meal planned, managed my pantry well,damaged my home well. I have learned full time has me spread to thin. Looking forward to spending more time with you😁

  21. You have given me more ideas, I’m making a list of things my son and daughter in law make. I also had a blessing from an unexpected place, my ex husband messaged me and asked for a list of canned food we needed for winter stock up. He had a great deal from Amazon and wanted to share it with us. Next month he’s going to get a case of our youngest grandson’s favorite spam flavors for his birthday. Lol, that’s what he asked for. Thanks for the great videos and ideas. God bless you

  22. I learned so much last week on how to meal plan that I ordered a meal planner and I love it! It really keeps me organized. I love how easily you come up with dinner plans with the items on hand. It’s working for me and I am very thankful that you take the time to make these videos. Thank you so much for sharing! Have a wonderful week! ❤

  23. I ❤ your new “series”, it’d be great to see an after the meal planning during the following week. To see what meals you stuck to, switched during the week, or end up grabbing take out. I like to purchase meat on clearance and stock the freezer that way. Those meats will eventually be a protein for the following week, so my grocery budget for the current week wouldn’t be as high when adding meat to my list of groceries.

  24. Hello Heather, I'm in the process of gathering the ingredients to make veggie lasagna and at your suggestion, to freeze it in small squares. You are looking very well today. I just want to bless you today on our sunny day here in western Washington. xo

  25. I would love to see your canning videos Heather! I made your apple pie filling from your existing video it was so good! I now have a modest amount of new honeycrisp apples from my tree for this year to do fairly quickly here! I’m also considering doing the meal planning. I watched your video from last week and I just wasn’t sure but after watching this one I’m thinking it may be a good idea. I have created a pantry such as yours over the last few years and I think it may be a good idea to try at least the meal planning. Thank you for all you shared today, I so much appreciate you dear one- blessings, Alisha

  26. Thank You ❤ Heather. While I listened and watched I was able to get most of my meal planning done. This is so helpful especially noting my busy days. Those can be so hit and miss and most often ends up being snack food instead of real food.

  27. Just got my planner today so exciting! Even though my family eats at different times due to work schedules I want to plan meals to save $$. Thanks for the inspiration & the links too Heather ❤❤❤❤❤

  28. Caught you late this week! No problem!! Thank you for another great inspiring video Heather!!! You are such a dear!!!xo…. P.S. you inspired me 3 years ago, and I canned jam. I would LOVE to see you canning apple pie filling and tomatoes!!!!

  29. 😊 Hello my Beautiful/ Stronger friend. Sorry I haven't been commenting so much. Had some really bad news last time at my Oncologist found out I have a Rare Mutation BRACA
    ( Lung Cancer) This means I can't do immunotherapy 😢 it will not help. The one thing I was wanting to do now I cannot do.
    Only cure? Mybe?
    Is to Remove my Lung or half the lung.if the Surgeon
    Thinks I'm a candidate for Surgery and Chemotherapy to prolong my life in my words.
    I will know more in 3 weeks when I see my oncologist.
    I know I need to eat better even though my appetite is not so great. I used to meal plan every week. That's another thing Hubby is a dialysis patient and can not have any tomato sauce
    Bbq Sauce NG.
    Much Love and blessing's of light your way Xo
    Stronger Together 🦸‍♀️🙏🦸‍♂️ 🌬🌹🦋😇
