I actually cant remember the last time I haven’t had bread ready to go, this bread hack is a must do at 2:48 😉
Great tips!! Does anyone else NOT say the H in herb, or just me?? lol
over here in the netherlands most people freeze bread so i literally grew up doing it and learning that was the only way. i was absolutley flabbergasted that this wasnt universally a thing
The healthy bread at my stores are OUT. OF. CONTROL. 💰 Freezing is a must. Thanks for a great video.
“Bread garages” LOL. These are great tips though. We do a lot of these but the stale bread one is definitely one I want to try. Thanks!
@@shopwithjen "H" erb is British English and it is not incorrect.
For the fresh herbs, I’ve found that trimming the ends of the stems before you put them in the water also helps extend their life
Oh gotta try that next time!
@@HealthNutNutrition Hey sister will you please tell which hospital it was where u gave birth that hospital in ur birth vlog, their service seemed amazing?
Also which diapers did use for ur baby, and when at what months or age did u start using first diaper for baby?Thanks😊
Filtered water, and trim the ends every 10 days. They will last for 6 weeks
I love to store my ripe avocados in water in the fridge. Green over 6 weeks later :)
Great tips! If you make your own bread, NEVER refrigerate it! Slice, and always double wrap before freezing. Another good tip for bananas that are overripe: toss the entire intact banana into a sealed freezer bag and freeze them. Continue to collect them until you have enough for banana bread. Finally, every time you prep celery, carrots, or onions for other dishes, toss the clean scraps, including clean inner onion skins into a big freezer bag. Do the same for all poultry bones. When you have enough, use them to make delicious bone broth in your Instant Pot or Crockpot. There are tons of videos on TH-cam on how to do this. Loved the adorable clip of Sage with blueberries all over her face. So cute!
Nice !
Peeling the bananas first then freezing in freezer bag is so much easier. They are ready to go when you need them.
You and I share a brain! 🤣 I do peel and mush the bananas first, but other than that, we do that same stuff!
Thank you for mentioning well-wrapping the bread before freezing. Otherwise, I’ve found it gets freezer burn if thrown in the freezer while only in its original bag.
I’ve got a couple of other freezer tips. If you like hummus and it’s on sale, buy a ton, and toss them in the freezer. When you eventually defrost, they’re exactly the same, texture-and taste-wise.
If you eat tofu and like it extra dense and chewy, throw it directly in the freezer when you get home. When you need it, defrost, drain and press as usual. It has a meatier, denser texture, and soaks up more marinade/flavor.
The sound of the kale was freakishly pleasurable 😅 thanks for the great tips!!
Storing herbs in water is a great idea, but remember to change the water every couple of days or they will go bad.
It always makes my heart happy to see someone else taking good care of their pup 💕
Love this video. I'm also glad you're making a 2nd cookbook.
When I lived in Exeter Ontario, the local grocery store would mark the avocados to $.10 because at that time 15 years ago in that very small town nobody was buying avocados. Being from California it was such a score for me
Great video. I freeze loads too. We need a what I have in my fridge & freezer video
Great video, simple but useful ideas. I used dried out bread for panzanella salad during the summer and bread crumbs or croutons the rest of the year. Lots of uses for bread.
Thanks for these ideas, im definitely trying out the bananas hack now. The tip about the onions and potatoes really got me. I've been storing mine on the same shelf in the pantry for years and I've kept wondering why on the earth the potatoes kept sprouting SO fast. I used a lot of them in my garden to grow more potatoes, BUT didn't get to eat a lot of them lol. Thanks again!
So helpful! I only knew a couple of these, can’t wait to try your tips :)
Thank you for the video. I learned a lot of new things.
Great tips! I especially love the dog treat tips!
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time!!!!🎉
Wow, this was extremely helpful! Thanks for the bread tip, will be doing that asap!
So many gems in this video.
Excellent hacks! And excellent presentation. Thank you so much!
Loved it so much!
My dog is also called Cashew! She's a 17month old rough coat Jack Russel Terrier and I always cook for her!
So many good tips, thank you!
Love love love your delivery. Despite it being about food storage and stuff, I was riveted. Even laughed out live a few times. Subscribed.

This was really good thank you
Loved this video!!! Definitely need to try the berry hack.
the best berry hack seriously doubles the shelf life 🤯
We are cut from the same cloth.. I do ALL of these! Literally except the onions and potatoes I swear they always lived in the same drawer! I just bought one of those onion saver containers just the other day to reduce the amount of ziplocks. great tip

Great video!

Freezer really is the best section for conservation of produce and bread 😉🙌
Thank you
Great video. That almost bad 50% off produce I love it. I have been doing that for years. It is the first place I go especially Loblaws. Love that section. Lots I didn't know until you said it. Great one
Such a great area to find things on the go and use for other recipes, like bananas for banana bread 😉
Our dogs love the crunchy spines from romaine if you are going to slice them off to use the green leafy parts
Thanks For The Tips Nikki I Love Your Videos And Don't Stop Uploading New Ones!! :) And Little Sage Just Gets Cuter And CUTER!! :)
Thank you!! Im so happy to hear you are loving them
Awesome 👌
I learnt the hard way that avocado cubes must be frozen first on a flat tray before shifting to ziplog bag
Great tips! I hate having to waste food especially every thing is expensive now.
of course! keep food around to last longer is the goal!
I don't have a dog. But my 6 month old kitten loves to eat the ends that I cut off cucumbers.
He devours them! 🐈⬛
I'm waiting for your meal preps 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks so much, Nicole! I love these ideas! I've already been doing couple of those, especially the bread one - we always have some slices in the freezer and people don't believe it actually works 😀 But I also learned something new so can't wait for more tips!
always have more coming!
@HealthNut Nutrition I gave my onions stored in a bin in my pantry and potatoes stored on the opposite side, about 6 ft away. Is this far enough and will storing the potatoes in the dark brown bags be enough to compensate for the distance, as I want them both to stay in the pantry.
Thanks in advance!
The clip of Sage with blueberry face.. 😂❤
this girl absolutely loves her blueberries
More videos like this for sure
Coming soon! in the meantime I linked a playlist with more food tip and tricks in the description 😉
just turned this video on to watchwith my lunch…I’m eating a chic pea salad sandwich on that same exact sprouted bread & mine came out of the freezer! I keep all my bread in the freezer too 😊
The best way to prolong the life of bread!!
Great tips and I agree I don’t buy berries anymore because of that
I like very much the way u present vedio ♥️ from sri lanka
Hi, do you have a hack for a half cut onion?
Great tips thank you ❤
love your jeans they look amazing
🥰
What are those bags you have.?
At what stage of ripening to put the avocados in the freezer?
Love love love your 2 tier fruit bowl but can’t find one like it could I ask where you had it from please thank you x
TJ Maxx and Marshalls
@@lilyophelia1928 thank you 😊
You're welcome! :) They were really well priced, too.
Omg! Do you have a Rhodesian Ridgeback?
You are la ove thanks soooo much for sharing 🫶
The Kale one blew my mind
It does for me every time haha
how do i store my onions?
I always peel sweet potatoes instead of cutting off the ends. Less waste maybe? I also shop every week at one particular grocery store for discounted/markdown items.
Can you please tell me how to keep the open avocado outside without changing colors
Store in a mason jar with metal lid and it will stay fresh up to a week, leaving the pit in and skin on also helps.
Omg you have no idea how this changes everything. I have to go now and break up my bananas, store my citrus (this was my fav tip), bring back my brassica family veggies back to life!, and separate my onions and potatoes thats all together in a bin right now
Yeah!Like wow!
Waw waw
yOu can freeze cilantrom too top top off our pastas food etc
I live in London here is very expensive specially healthy foods ,just searching good quality foods but less pricy haha
You can freeze cilantro and then cut off what you need to use you can also dry it and crush it into a jar so you have fresh dried cilantro . Instead of a dish towel use a clean dog pee pad and cut it in 4 pieces and put it with the plastic side down in the fruit or veggie drawer. Then just throw it away when you need to.
I’m confused about the pee pads ….
Also you can store an apple with your potatoes and it helps keep the eyes from growing.
You can also store the berries in just glass mason jars and they last super long.
Separate thanks for the unexpected Kale ASMR:)
haha I love a vegetable ASMR 😉
If you get yogurt and freez it it’s a good dog treat
Great idea!
Really helpful! 😊
💖🙌💖
I always research safe foods for my puppers.
When putting bread in the freezer put a paper towel in the bag with but your bread and it'll keep the moisture out
Won’t the vinegar make the berries taste different or bitter when you wash them in that vinegar?
Nope! As long you rinse them well they actually taste so fresh
I slice my bagels before I put them in the freezer. I would do the same with bread.
