    I must be honest to say when you said that you weren’t going back to work and you were going to be doing so many videos I was ecstatic L O L but of course I understand that you have to do what’s in your heart and I think it’s so wonderful that even with going back to work thus far you’ve given us gold just gold videos and I just wanna say I’m sure I speak for everyone else that watches your channel and subscribe to you. We love what you do!

      Additional PS. I am born and raised in northern California in Sausalito and Tiburon as well. We make many trips to Napa in the fall to get the pumpkin and watch and see how the leaves have turned so beautifully there and we go to sonoma to go to the Square there one of our favorite places to go is the cheese shop & the bakery 😊

    Your videos are always so soothing Lauren, and always motivate me to be productive in homemaking for my family (especially when work gets crazy!) ♥️ Thank you! Love the idea to prep food for the month. I have been realizing that weekly meal planning is too near-term because the next week I’m back to deciding what we’re eating again 🫠🤪 I’ve wanted to start planning 2-4 weeks out to consolidate my planning time and cut down on frequency of decision-making.

    I saw these really cool molds that look like giant ice cubes that you can put soup into and freeze and pop them out and put in bags. You can have individual servings. This would be great for homemade chicken noodle soup for when the kids are sick. Dr pepper works great with the pork

    If you have frozen broccoli, use it in broccoli soup. Easy to make and a healthy meal. I add spinach to put even more veggies in it. Happy winter.

    I’m sorry I accidentally posted the same comment twice. Well that’s OK because that’s how much we love watching you double double double! PS. You inspired me through the spring in the summer to do my herb garden and grow tomatoes in all of the things and now I turned it on and you have your new garden and you have planted all of your winter plantings. I am so happy to see that I immediately carve out time to go to our garden center to pick up on some of those plants that you named outside again, your inspiration is boundless!❤

    Hi Lauren 👋
    I love all your meal & food prep. I rewatch them anytime I need motivation.
    One suggestion I have would be for you to buy a bench scrape. It's a tool I use on a daily for scooping up all the vegetables or ingredients I chop. It helps so much & is less dangerous & more effective than a 🔪.

    Love your videos, and you are inspiring me to start prepping more items for our meals. I would like to ask why you do not use a Cuisinart food processor for chopping all your vegetables? It is a fabulous time saver, making quick work of prepping smaller chopped items.

    You've got it going on in the kitchen now Lauren. You seem, super organised, extremely all planned out, and your skills in the kitchen are excellent. You seem to be able to have a go at anything now, and confidently. All what you turned out looked amazing, although I'm a vegetarian and it would be nice for you to incorporate a vegetarian meal in, maybe once in a while. I would love it if you could do that. Anyway, I really enjoyed watching, see you next time, take care...🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾🏡❄️💞

I just wanted to jump in and tell you that they are saying now to keep all food away from any kinds of plastic in cooking, storing, etc. and also aluminum foil is not good. They say store and cook on glass and ceramic and use old-fashioned wax paper for sandwiches and such. The plastics are causing sterility in men and hormone problems in women and that includes children. Love you!!
