Welcome back to another Slow Fashion Friday video! Today I'm tackling the mess that was my refrigerator and the pantry that was in desperate need of an overhaul!! This mini makeover was done in one day's time. I worked on it for about 6 hours with one small break. I'm so happy to have my kitchen clean and the fridge and pantry organized for the new year! I hope you enjoy it!
I love these Slow Fashion Friday videos as they motivate me. Thank you Lori! I love your channel & appreciate the thought & effort you put into each video. My dog, Lily, loves watching you too. :) Happy New Year!
Yep, that's my fridge.... the before... I can't wait to do this. It's going to put my family into shock, but it's gotta happen. We all need to eat cleaner and healthier. Good for you! Love you girl ❤
I have same issues!! Buying sane stuff over and over. I never see what I have and then when I finally clean out I find 10!! Thank you for sharing! Your honesty is so appreciated 💗
Last tip for now. You know how the top of the fridge gets grimy. Turns almost muddy when you wash up there? Clean it well. Then ,, layer on some saran wrap on . Next time its dusty....gather upand toss. Place down new layer. You re welcome !!!
I decluttered my closet!! FOUR LARGE trash bags full! Donated it all. Super uninspired to even try to sell any of it LOL Next my pantry too! It feels so good and so much lighter.
I loved this video, Lori! I was supposed to be listing, but I sat here in my pajamas watching you clean instead! 😉Lol...time to get to work! Wishing you and your beautiful family a happy, healthy 2024! Lorraine
Motivation I needed to clean out my pantry. Definitely a lot I can toss out and also give my lazy Susan’s a good clean lol. Thank you! Lumpy was so calm 🥰
I find it makes things a lot easier when I wipe down bottles/jars prior to placing them back in the fridge or pantry which keeps the shelves clean. Also, transferring dry food stuff from boxes into stackable plastic containers is a great space saver. I also remove frozen food items from their boxes before storing in the freezer as they take up way too much room. As jarred item in the fridge become more empty, I put the remaining contents into smaller glass storage jars/containers. I actually do a quick once over of the fridge daily as it definitely saves time down the road and got rid of my way too big bottom freezer fridge and opted for a smaller one with a top freezer. I really found the bottom freezer fridge annoying and difficult to keep clean.
Happy New Year Beautiful Lori 🥂🥳🥂🥳 Hood Eggnog 😋😋😋 My FAVORITE 💚💚💚 Kodiak Waffles Are The Best! Try Their Pancake Mix As Well. I Substitute Them For Regular Pancakes 😉
Yes I keep chic fil sauce 😊 Happy New Year by the way, I LOVE to clean out my fridge and pantry after the holidays and dump all the junk food and leftovers! Also, you can freeze your sticks of butter and pull them out as needed, that's what I do! ❤
Oh how I love a good pantry/refrigerator clean out video!! I stopped the video three times to rearrange something that I thought of while I was watching you. One thing I do to ease, the Irish Catholic guilt of throwing away food 😉…I have a small wooded area behind my townhouse. I will cut up (mostly fruits, and vegetables and nuts, once they’ve gone bad)and toss them out back so the wildlife, squirrels, bunnies, deer, and sometimes the dreadful coyotes will eat that. It’s a treat for them and then I don’t feel so bad about getting rid of it. Thanks for another helpful purging video, Lori 😊
I've been slowly cleaning out my refrigerator and pantry, trying to get to the stuff in the back. Am always amazed at the dates on some items I find!😲 Trying to do some while watching. I empty old boxes of stuff into the trash then put the boxes in the recycle. Lumpy is such a love ❣️❣️🐾🐾
Thank you for this. Needed a mental break from our COVID again house.😮. Amazing how many of the same brands we MA folks use! Saw you cleaning out or cooking with lots of juicy things in this video and since you didn’t, I will, shamelessly plug JUICY BROADS your new live videos on your fountain pen hobby. I’m not into pens or journaling but popped in to see what you were up to. You and Vanessa are a riot. Glad you have an outlet to reach other enthusiasts. God bless you and yours.
Ahhh, the puppy stage. When our girl was a pup, she was just awful every time I would be on the phone. She would find new things to destroy that she wouldn't have touched previously. It was like having a toddler needing one on one attention. I enjoy watching you and Lumpy navigate puppyhood. ❤
OMG look up Stanley Tuccis recipe for cookies with no flour and so sugar! You can use up your oats this way!! They are so healthy and so good!! If you can’t find it let me know and I will forward to you. 😃 Linda
@@LorisBostonFound I was laughing at some points because I also have giant bags of frozen blueberries for my smoothies, love and use Cholula sauce, eat Honey Nut Cheerios, have Land O’Lakes butter for baking and Kerry Gold for eating, and only like Jif creamy PB unless I am being “healthy” and try another brand! 😂
I always have leftover ricotta, too. It freezes beautifully, just like the blueberries. Great having it on hand for those busy "what am I going to make?" nights and never toss it out again!
Hi Lori! Another great video, and I loved seeing your precious Lumpy again (always)! Where did you get that adorable wine glass with the dog?? I need one of those! Thank you!
this is a greater reminder for me to clean b4 doing the food run…my pantry is about the same if not worse we buy things that sounds good eat a little then never finish it
Thanks Lori! Inspiring me to do all the things you've been doing ty! Love that you're real , we all have messes(maybe)🤔 I sure do! Thank you for all you do!!❤️ also having gnocchi for dinner tonight, you mentioned it & yes its time for us to have some yucci gnocchi!!😂
Thanks for sharing Lori, I have the same so much left overs I planned to use for baking and desserts for the holidays. We freeze our butter, this way I have it always on hand and it does not go bad. Happy New Year!
I always feel more in control after cleaning out the fridge. Well done! My sister got me started on savory oatmeal and it is delicious. Also a good way to use up bits of this and that from your fridge. So start a couple of cups of oatmeal cooking then add what you have on hand. Add diced tomatoes ( fresh or canned), leftover ham, a can of beans, some greens (spinach, kale or arugula work well). Sometimes I do a southwest version with black beans, corn and salsa, other times go Italian with cannellini. Add salt, pepper and spices to taste. And some cheese! This is easily reheated on stove or in microwave, making it a good hearty breakfast when you want to get out the door quickly for a long day of skiing or thrifting.
Lori you are inspiring, I love clean refrigerator, rainy day in Florida so doing the same, tomorrow bins 🎉, I did the food pantry donation, started fresh
Love seeing what you’re cooking along with the declutter. I get stuck in a rut and make the same things! We eat low carb so the chicken with buffalo sauce is perfect! We air fry wings often so this would be a great alternative! Need to tackle my fridge and pantry as well. I started in my dresser drawers yesterday. Thanks for the motivation. ❤
Heavy whipping cream lasts a long time! I put it in my coffee every morning.,.. if you do intermittent fasting coffee with heavy whipping cream is okay to have during the "fast". I also put all my frig jar items (jelly, capers, etc) in a plastic shoe box two contain them.
Don't feel bad about throwing away stale stuff. The problem with being an empty nester is that packages are too large! Some things you just can't eat fast enough. And I get tired of the same old thing!
Lori tell me is that the collagen that you spoke of during Vlogmas? The peach flavor? I am looking for a new collagen to try in 24. The chicken looked great, sorry we missed Jay. Love to see him involved and on camera, Happy New Year to him. Lumpy doesn't miss a trick in the kitchen, the joys of a young dog.
Thank you for your inspirationing video. Now i feel like cleaning . In future please dont throw the coconut oil. Here in Malaysia our traditional masseuse will use coconut oil to massage . You can massage your tired feet with coconut oil and also good for the hair especially split ends before a shower. Just a suggestion instead of throwing…. Some people comb their cats with a bit of coconut oil, kills cat fleas ( before bathing the cat) fleas will drop off!
Lori, if you want some amazing amazing amazing (did I say amazing? lol) Italian food inspiration videos? Look up Pasta Grammar here on TH-cam. She (Eva) has some great Ricotta recipes. Also, Vicenzo's Plate. If you want your Instant Pot to go to some great delicious foods - try Rancho Gordo beans and using the 'pressure cooker' mode for some amazing dishes! ALSO, I can't recommend Alison Roman enough for great dishes - no matter what you are looking for. I wish I can show you pics of how I reorganized my pantry after our kitchen remodel last year. A few lazy susans with specific areas for vinegars, oils... others for sauces, etc etc. It makes cooking such a pleasure.
Can't wait to watch Eva!! Thank you! Also I definitely need to find just a couple of Instant Pot recipes that will get me to use it more often. I'm such a creature of habit and I use my crockpot all the time. Thank you!
@@LorisBostonFound If we lived closer I would invite you over and show you how I use the instant pot for some yummy bean recipes. Let me know if you watch any of those 3 channels I recommend and if it inspired you :) xoxo Cheers Lori!!!
🤩Your pantry reveal looks awesome! Thank you for sharing, Lori❣️ Keeping up with the freezer/fridge/pantry is hard work - but so rewarding🥰 Oats are really yummy in baking - I add them to muffins all the time. Who doesn't love cinnamon oatmeal cookies? And oats give a hearty texture to chocolate cake🍫 (Just remember to add extra liquid - oats absorb a lot) I keep my onions in the fridge🧅cold onions prevent tears. re:Food Waste - I know u love research🔬so be careful about going down that rabbit hole...it's like fast fashion! But u will impress the hell outta Jay with facts & figures & all the savings from tweaking even a couple of shopping/storage/food prep habits & creating healthy & effective new systems... not that u need to impress Jay, he's clearly deeply in love with you🥰
NOOOOOOO don't put onions in the fridge... they lose their flavor. Look at how your supermarkets keep their produce. Garlic, Onions, shallots, potatoes, tomatoes etc don't put them in the cold. Apples, Avocados, Oranges etc etc NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fridge - they lose their moistness and flavor in the cold.

I’m so happy to see the Japanese Matcha snack survived!!! Those are real treasure, Lori. You should try it!!!!
I have same issues!! Buying sane stuff over and over. I never see what I have and then when I finally clean out I find 10!! Thank you for sharing! Your honesty is so appreciated 💗
A few minutes into watching I got off couch and cleaned out my fridge. Thanks for inspo

Thank you! I need to freeze my butter. Lots of people recommended. I'm terrible about freezing stuff!
Happy New Year! I’m really enjoying these slow fashion Friday videos. They feel like a warm blanket to me!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
Love the transformation. Just a little tidbit store your potatoes and onion separate they last longer.

You can freeze the butter!
Happy New Year!! Your video inspired me to clean and organize my fridge. Thank you!
Hi Lori - you can make blueberry ricotta pancakes or blueberry ricotta cake with your extra ingredients! Cheers, Katia
Yes!! What a great idea! I can't let that good ricotta go to waste! Have a great weekend Katia! xo

Thank you Carol! It was a gift from my son Anthony for Christmas of 2021 or 22...I think he got it on Etsy.
I put down shelving or place mats from dollar store on shelves. Easier to wash off in sink and replace rather than the ahelf
How fitting! This is what I’m working on this morning 👏🏻
Perfect! It felt so good to clean it all out!
So inspiring! Okay, I am taking a break from listing to go clean up my kitchen now! That chicken looks so good too!
Great job! It does look so peaceful and organized!
Wonderful Job with the Clean out!! Another inspiring video...thank you so much, Lori!❤
this is a greater reminder for me to clean b4 doing the food run…my pantry is about the same if not worse we buy things that sounds good eat a little then never finish it
Love this serie
Thanks for keeping me company while I printed shipping labels. Now I have an itch to organize our pantry 😂
Thanks for watching Cathy! Happy shipping!

Great job Lori. As always, you are an inspiration. FYI, I use heavy cream in my coffee all the time. Just a small amount is all you need😀
I did my fridge a few days ago! Pantry next.
Heavy whipping cream lasts a long time! I put it in my coffee every morning.,.. if you do intermittent fasting coffee with heavy whipping cream is okay to have during the "fast". I also put all my frig jar items (jelly, capers, etc) in a plastic shoe box two contain them.

You don't have a Market Basket?! Or a Big Y? :-) Great video.
I love your Lulu Marie wine glass!! 😊
You could have used your cereal or crackers for bird feeders if you mixed with lard / fat then roll into balls then refrigerate .
Love this and so inspiring!
Thanks so much Eleni! xo
You are inspiring me! BTW what Barbie is behind you?

🤔🖋️how many pens could a Juicy Broad buy with $ saved from extra groceries?😎😊

Apples, Avocados, Oranges etc etc NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fridge - they lose their moistness and flavor in the cold.
Freeze the butter, celery and carrots.
I can’t find the link for the salad recipe.
Just dig a hole and bury those potatoes
No, never store potatoes and onions together.
Oops...
Su much food wasted and not even recycled
