Im not Jewish or religious at all but I've found myself mesmerized by your channel. I love learning about your culture and lifestyle, you also have some wonderful cooking/ food tips, especially the bug related ones. For the bananas you could make dairy free vegan banana pudding or banana bread. Both of those are so so good. Thank you for teaching me knew things and expanding my world view.
@@frumitup of course! I also had a question, can you eat Challah anytime or only on Shabbat? I know it has spiritual meaning so I’ve been curious if it’s saved specifically for Shabbat
I wash and re-wash my food, from veggies to cans, make sure everything is sealed, living in a tropical country known for having 5% of the fauna in the world and too much of those are bugs, I extremely wash everything
I'm not Jewish. In fact, I'm a Roman Catholic Christian. But I'm always curious to learn about other religions. Being German, I think it's especially important for people from my country to be open to other religions, so that history doesn't repeat itself. Which is why I'm here: To learn. Thank you for providing an insight into your life!
For the bananas- I recommend making banana “ice cream”! Blend the bananas with a touch of your favorite milk (so it will blend) and some peanut butter or Nutella. Or whatever flavor you want. It makes a yummy substitute.
I found this channel and I could not do without. My mom was Sephardic, my dad was not. I love to see the life that I have missed. Your calm voice, your attentiveness to every detail makes your videos so very special. What a gift to the world. Thank you 😊
I'm not Jewish but we are more alike than different. I love my Jewish TH-cam creators. All of you are an inspiration and a blessing to me. Thank you for doing what you do! I appreciate you and your efforts. By the way, I too have a chocolate stash and I do reuse my ziplocs. I use a bag dryer stand. I wash them with soap and water then rinse and dip in vinegar water to make sure mold cannot grow if they don't get perfectly dry. Thanks again for the tips. I'm going to wrap lemons and peppers from now on.
Hello my best Beagle Momma! Your tip to end the cleaning of the ziploc with I what is priceless: I will try for sure! I am so grateful that we are creating more and more bridges between our respective communities ❤️❤️❤️
Peppers should not be stored in a refrigerator, nor fresh tomatoes. The way they are sold in the market is the way you should store them. (lemons and oranges DO last forever in the fridg. ) I write this with utmost respect.
I love an organized kitchen. Thank you for so many tips. I cracked up when you showed the peppers. You see, I am 64 and my skin looks like the first pepper. I wonder where I can get enough plastic wrap to wrap me? LOL! So many of these tips will help. We are on a fixed income and cannot afford any waste. Again thank you so much for your channel. I love that you are a bridge. We need so many more like you.
Love the transparency of showing what your freezer looked like before you organized it. so many of these home organization youtube channels feel like they are designed to make homemakers feel bad about themselves. real life gets cluttered and messy sometimes and I love that you showed it's ok. You're a real wife and mother with an active and full life. It also makes your tips and advice that much more powerful when you show things you have found to streamline your life. Love your videos. G-d blessings on your house.
Love it your voice is so gentle you give to listeners sense of serenity and piece and calmness you are real healer bless you honey thank you for knowing that people like you exist
Thank you so so much Piper❤️ Your comment is so true: many people on social media wants to make us believe, and maybe it is the reality, that their house is always clean that their refrigerators are always impeccably organized that there’s no dust on the floor, nor on any surfaces; if it is true: good for them but rest assured it is not mine and I thank G.od for that! Because not having a maid /cook/…. At home brought me to find ways to make do specially as you know with working full-time with small kiddos and everything else my life is or can get quite chaotic ! and this is why I want to show what it is for me to try to keep my sanity, and what tips and tricks help me to somewhat achieve that including messy freezers and fuzzy macaronis!!! thank you again for being here wishing you and your family a blessed day
Yes, I reuse my plastic bags. I've even been known to put them on the wash line in the sun -- to the embarrassment of my children! Ilove the tomato paste tip and I shall certainly use it. Thank you!
It’s not just that they’re expensive, it’s also that it’s incredibly wasteful to use those plastic zip top bags only once. Definitely reuse them if you can, because otherwise they go to the landfill.
I love organized kitchens! I am not Jewish but I find your lifestyle inspiring. I am Catholic but I know the foundation of our faith comes from Judaism. This video gave me some great ideas! Thank you!
I love organized kitchens. After fleeting Ukraine because of war I live in a safe place with an extremely small kitchen. Keeping my kitchen kosher, your tricks from video are really helpful. More videos how to keep fruits and veggies alive for long. Toda raba!
Awww I am so sorry you are safe now sweet Alena ❤️❤️❤️ I am grateful these tips could help you! Please let me know if you have questions or need help! Stay safe and blessed xoxox
Suggestion: Open disposible cup packages from the bottom, so when you reach in to get one, you are not touching and contaminating the exposed lip of the cup. Also, store them above table height to reduce contamination from dust flying around near floor level as the pantry door opens and closes.
I recently discovered your channel. Love the meal preparation. I am in awe of your energy. I am a retired RN so I can appreciate how demanding being a Dr. is. I love an organized Kitchen! You may find this interesting. I am a Protestant who studies the Old Testament for Bible Studies in my home. The tradition and view of life of my Jewish friends is so amazing to me.
Awww I am so blessed to have you in my life Glenda! I LOVE my RNs!!! They are the heart and soul of our healthcare! I love the interfaith bridges we are building you and me! May G.od bless our endeavours with love and success
I love organized kitchens! While I’m nowhere near on your level, I’ve used some of the same hacks over the years. We used to have a huge vegetable garden (hotter, dryer summers and lower-back problems have made that increasingly difficult in the past few years), so I would use quart and pint freezer bags to put up our vegetable and fruit harvests (I use the fruits to make freezer jam), as well as using the pint and quart bags for preserving meats in the freezer as well. We’d make soup from scratch (5 gallons at a time!), and I would divide the soup into four or five 3-pound margarine tubs for freezer storage. One tub of soup with a cup or two of water added made dinner for four when accompanied by grilled-cheese sandwiches. And I also store my baking ingredients and grains in glass jars with labels, but I like to scout out those vintage instant coffee jars with the fun designs on the glass at yard sales and thrift stores. They’re great for storing anything from grains to drink mixes, and they work well for preserving time-sensitive foods like wheat germ, chia seeds, and cocoa mix in the fridge or freezer (I like to mix wheat germ and chia seeds in my pancake batter to make it healthier, whether it’s from scratch or a box mix like Bisquick or a just-add-water mix). And if you want, I have a recipe for banana nut bread that’s just as good as the Pillsbury mix. I use chopped pecans in mine, but you can use whichever nuts you like best!
@@miriam8026 😀I was born in Brussels, I love it and I lived 40 years in Etterbeek now I live in Walloon Brabant. I hope your daughter is happy there, in which municipality does she live? Ukkel?
You are amazing! A true gift to all who watch and are inspired by and learn from you. A true blessing and gift from Him. I will say special prayers and ask for blessings for you and your lovely family. Thank you for all the helpful hints.
Hello from Ireland, found your channel 2 days ago and I’ve been binge watching. I’m a catholic but am always interested in learning about Judaism. You have a wonderful way of explaining and showing very interesting content. I’m enjoying all your you tube posts. Thank you for teaching, I mean no disrespect as a 55 year old Irish mum of two in their twenties, am just curious. God bless you and your family .
Hi Elaine! Welcome to my little house on TH-cam! I am so happy you are here and happy we can build bridges between ourselves and our faiths! Please let me know if you have questions: I would love to help! Stay safe and blessed my new friend! Xoxox
your videos bring me a feeling of peace and happiness,and i have shared your channel with my friends. I am currently sick with covid and can not do much but lie in bed.but your videos help comfort me and keep me from being lonely
I loved the way you’ve done your pantry. I’ve done mine the same way and also my medicine cabinet along with my herb and spice cabinet. It all looks so good and neat!!! Thank you
Banana spice cake or banana bars is one of my favorite afternoon tea snacks. For breakfast I am terrible at making pancakes, but my kid does actually like my banana pancakes. I substitute 1/4 cup mashed banana for each egg the recipe calls for. The natural sugar in the banana gives the pancakes a nice caramelized flavor from cooking on the griddle. And yes I too love organized kitchens ❤️
I immediately threw my recently bought celery in some foil once I saw this! Look up banana nice cream. Frozen bananas in a food processor with whatever additions you'd like. Can add fresh or frozen fruit. Might need to add some water if using frozen fruit to loosen it a bit. Even with frozen fruit, you don't typically need to add sweetener if using ripe bananas. If i was a kid, my go to ice cream would be strawberry. Being 36 now, I will have to save chocolate. * I love organized kitchens.
awww thank you so much Colleen, i have always been very self conscious about my voice as it is not purely something i.e. purely French purely german, purely,... as i speak many languages thank G.od so you comment strikes a very sensitive chord and i truly thank you for your kind words
I liked the saving of tomato paste idea. I like organized kitchens. I am a Christian and enjoy your videos immensely. Your voice is lyrical with love. We both have so much to glean from each other. I will say however, after watching your Shabbat preps that I'm glad I am free from all that work and dietary law. Nevertheless you are loved also. I have been to Israel twice and have a love for her and your people, put there by our mutual Father Yahweh God. I think we could be friends. Shalom.
To say I am IMPRESSED with your organizational skills would be a true understatement! I have never seen such perfection with refrigerated and frozen food structure. You are impeccable!
Hi, I just found your channel and I love it! I'm not Jewish but the food storage tips are so helpful and I can't wait to start implementing them! As for bananas, banana is a fantastic supplement in most sweet baked goods for sugar. My mom used to use overripe bananas in cupcakes and cakes and it usually didn't override the cake flavor. There's lots of recipes online if you just look up banana based deserts or deserts with banana instead of sugar
I had no idea you could do this either. I’m totally looking it up now. I really have enjoyed this channel so much in the short few hours I’ve been watching (I just discovered it last night). Not only are her tips things I never knew and will totally use, but the people (like you) in comments share so much great info as well. I thought I knew a lot about food storage and tricks in the kitchen as a 41 year old mom of 4. (3 of which are now adults) I mean I’m always of the mind set there is more to learn and always open to learning. But man I have learned soooo much in just this video alone and in the comments section. Im not Jewish but I really enjoy learning about different cultures, religions and just people in general as well as tips and tricks I can add into my routine and family. Thank you for sharing your tip on the bananas. I can’t wait to try it!!
Aww that is so sweet Tricia! And I agree with you 100%: this comment section is filled with golden nuggets! I love how you keep and open mind and you are willing to learn: it tells a lot about you ! Stay safe and blessed my new friend ❤️
It’s also a good replacement for eggs. Bananas can be used in place of any baked goods where eggs were used as a binder instead of a raising agent. If the recipe you want to substitute doesn’t already include baking soda or powder, you might need to add a teaspoon.
I'm a Christian and although we obviously have some different beliefs and practices from you, I try to follow the Bible regarding passover and other practices and traditions that you also partake in so when I watch your videos I see so much that I recognize and I truly feel love for you and your precious family. I hope we can all continue to grow as people and communities, and show honor and kindness to each other, no matter our differences because we actually have a lot more in common than we may first think ❤
Hi my friend! thank you so much for taking the time to write to me today and also to create and build with me more and more bridges between our faiths that are very very similar in so many aspects I really hope that you continue enjoying our content and I'm looking forward to reading from you again wishing you and your family only good tidings and happiness
@@frumitup thank you! I appreciate that greatly ♡ You have inspired me more than you know, with my home but also to be proud of my faith while also extending kindness to others. I am truly inspired by you!
I am not Jewish but your channel appeared on my feed a few weeks ago. Thank you for sharing so much with us, your recipes are amazing and the traditions are beautiful. I have been following some of your cleaning and organising routines without realising😊 The frozen bananas could be used for banana bread perhaps? Bananas are not my favourite but toasted banana bread, buttered, with a cup of tea is delicious.
Aww thank you so much for connecting with me today and I am soooo grateful you can get value out of our content : I feel truly blessed. Thank you for the banana 🍌 bread idea❤️ Stay safe and blessed 💕
I'm not kosher, nor Jewish, nor even religious, but I really enjoy your channel. So, first, thank you. Make 'nice cream' with your frozen bananas... youtube is full of recipes for different flavours. Basically, you just blitz them in the blender with whatever flavours you like--in my house freeze dried strawberries are our favourite--and then freeze to your desired texture. I was dubious, but it's just great! As for ziplocs, I have been washing and reusing mine for YEARS with no problems...like the viewer below, I wash them carefully and dry them carefully, and they're just fine. I also wash and reuse tin foil, I rinse and reuse paper towels and parchment paper, though more recently I'm using torn up old towels for most paper towel chores, and silicone mats for baking most things. By the way, I always watch your videos all the way to the end.
Love the use aerated produce bins! You may want to consider separating your onions and potatoes (like how you separate the fruit and veg in the fridge) as gasses onions produce will cause potatoes to sprout quicker.
This is so interesting. My grandma always taught us to store potatoes and onions together so as to make them both last longer....similarly...storing onion with Avocado (both open and peeled) will make them both last longer ;)
I know this is from a year ago, but you can take very ripe frozen bananas and stuff them with chocolate chips, wrap them in foil, and bake them. You can also make banana bread with them. I love the baskets for the kitchen. Those are nice. I had aside-by-side refrigerator-freezer, and it was always too thin to easily get things in and out of it. Thanks for sharing! I love organized kitchens
I cannot say this enough: I absolutely LOVE your videos! They're informative and always so kind. I learn a lot of great tips! I always re-use my zip-lock bags whenever possible! I love that you are showing us how you keep your produce fresh longer! These are great tips for ANYONE!! Do you freeze your flour? My mother used to always freeze excess flour. I've heard mixed reviews about freezing it. I've always frozen my tomato paste the exact same way! It lasts so much longer, never any waste at all and yep, I totally do the portioning trick with a butter knife! Works like a CHARM! It's funny...watching you show how you store your meat in the freezer. I've done exactly this for years. I figured out if you store it flat as you can get it, you can then slip the freezer bags in neatly like books on a shelf! It makes finding what you need so easy. I also tend to portion out large quantities of meat in 1 or 2lbs portions, usually ground meats are ways just 1lbs each. Besides smoothies, frozen bananas are great for banana bread! There are several kosher recipes and although you need to thaw the frozen bananas, and they will darken which means they're sweeter...once baked they are fantastic! A trick I've found that really helps to keep them from browning too quickly is to slice the bananas into 1 1/2" slices, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or plastic wrap and then freeze. Once frozen transfer the frozen slices into airtight freezer bags. This keeps them fresh looking for up to three months! There are so many other uses for frozen bananas too. I use mine in my "Monster cookies" recipe. It's not traditional but I find they really help keep the cookies moist and soft! Replace the white sugar with softened, frozen bananas and voila! They also add a lovely tropical flavor to the cookies. Monster cookies are mostly peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips and chocolate candy pieces. I like to replace the chocolate candy pieces with dried fruit like dried cranberries. (Which are kosher and do not need to be checked for infestation as they are checked before they are dried!) My family loves my twist on monster cookies better than the original recipe! These cookies are NOT parve for Passover as they do contain baking soda. P.S. my absolute favorite ice cream flavor is: Coffee. Hands down. I love coconut but it doesn't love me at all...so Coffee wins!
I am not Jewish, but I love how you teach your culture to us. I don’t have any suggestions on the bananas- as I don’t eat them. Thank you for this tour- especially the pantry organization! It was so inspiring and inspired me to tackle my own small pantry, which had been annoying me for a longgggggg time. Love your videos!
This is absolutely fascinating! As a single person who lives alone, I do a lot of bulk purchasing and freezing. For example, when I made chicken noodle soup last week, I bought large bags of carrots and celery and chopped it all : half went into my soup, half into Tupperware to freeze for other things. But it never occurred to me to save and reuse my chicken storage ziplocks! I hate plastic waste, so thanks for the tip!
I love organized kitchens! FYI your calming voice put the tiny toddler to sleep on my lap! BnJ vegan chocolate garcia !! Wanted to share a hard won lesson, if you can organize a freezer fruit, veg and bread above meat with chicken and fish at the bottom, that way if the power dies you have a better chance of having food you can eat as the fruit and veg isn't coated in raw meat ick. This 'trick' legit saved me from starving once. long story short the freezer got defrosted while I was at work one day and after refreezing it all (helps with the smell while cleaning it up) I was able to save fruit veg and beef. I didn't have the ability to buy more food for 3 weeks, the freezer had just been fully stocked the day before the catastrophe. I hope you never have to experience that sort of failure but stacking that way can offer peace of mind when everything else seems to be going off the rails.
Wooowww thank you so much for the tip Victoria! I’m sorry you had to go through that and at the same time I am so grateful you are sharing your experience so we can learn from it! Stay safe and blessed ❤️❤️❤️
@@frumitup And, since cold falls and heat rises, meat at the bottom will have a better chance of staying frozen longer. (I think you knew that. I posted in case someone else didn't.)
Another trick for freezers is to take a small plastic container and freeze and add a coin or marble and place a lid on top. This is handy if you are gone and the freezer goes off and resumes freezing. If the coin isn’t on top then it thawed. It also helps because it provides an indicator as to how long it was out. Especially helpful if you are gone on vacation. Also on an upright, ALWAYS lock it when leaving, learned this the hard way when it wasn’t closed well and we lost everything. I have also found a dry erase board on the outside listing the contents to be helpful.
Hi Sara Malka, I recently discovered your channel and I love it. Everything is so organized and beautiful. Thanks for that. 😃. you can do banana bread with the banana's the more brown they are the sweater so you can add less sugar.
Wow! You’re so organized! It’s very impressive that you do all of this while also working outside of your home and having small children. “I love small kitchens!” I hope you have a lovely week 😊
For the frozen bananas look up "nice cream" basically you blend them and they make a kind of ice cream (you can add cocoa powder, berries, nut butters, whatever makes you happy). If I had to have only 1 ice cream flavor... pistachio. Full stop. I don't reuse ziplock bags. Like the plastic breaks down with time. I'm a big fan of silicone bags (I like Stasher brand) and containers. I love organized kitchens. I don't have one (I live with 2 other adults and we are all tornados) but they are nice.
I love organized kitchens! I adore your videos. My Bubbe passed a few years ago and watching your videos remind me so much of her and it fills me with joy. She would always share the way you could do things and her tips. I really love all that you share and I think one of my favorite tips was for your glass jars! Such a great idea to make a little fold on the tape so it’s easy to remove. Thank you for sharing!
I love organized kitchens! My desert island ice cream would have to be chocolate.. coffee would be a close second! Your labeled drawers in the fridge and freezer are really cool. And the hidden chocolate bar.. I totally relate! Thanks for the great video.
Thank you so much Jeanne for taking the time in your day to write to me! I am with you with either chocolate 🍫 or coffee ice cream!!! As per the hidden chocolate stash: I think it’s a must to get a quick endorphins release!! 😁😁!
I love organised kitchens!!! I really do!! And I enjoy seeing how others organise theirs; I’m always on the lookout for new ideas for my kitchen. Thank you for sharing.
I love organized kitchens ❤ Frozen Bananas: I freeze them in middle sized pieces and then make the best, simplest ice cream out of them with my Champion Juicer. Perfectly creamy without anything else added to it. Free choice to use Chocolate Syrup or Sprinkles, Strawberry-Sauce or Crisped Nuts as a Topping. And: a few days ago I made an oat-banana-milk and what I didn't drink I used for my Mac&Cheese. That was interesting. I could smell the banana more than I could taste it. And the sauce was really good (with the right spices, etc.). My partner also really liked it. Thank You for your love ❤
For freezing condiments (including buttermilk!) I love my silicone ice cube molds. I freeze it and transfer it to a ziplock bag. And yes, I reuse ziplock bags as long as I did not keep meat or anything greasy in them as I found I could not clean those properly.
Thank you for making and sharing this video! The thought and care you put into it is really evident. One request though- I love your tips on how to store food, and I would love to see options for people who don't use plastic wrap and aluminum foil. There are not only serious environmental drawbacks to creating so much waste, but increasing awareness of the health risks of exposure to aluminum. Thanks!
You're amazing. I absolutely love all the tip & tricks. I definitely reuse my ziplock bags, after I wash them, of course! Great video. PS: Weimans makes great cleaning products. I particularly love their glass cooktop clean. It's fantastic.
I love organized kitchens! I’d use the bananas to make banana cake for Shabbat. My favorite tip is the scoring of the tomato paste before freezing! Thank you so much.
I love organized kitchens. Sara, thank you for this informative and inspiring video on organizing a wide array of items in freezers and refrigerators. I live alone and cooking for one is challenging when it comes to planning a variety of nutritious and appetizing meals. There can be a lot of waste, and tomato paste is a good example. My recipes for spaghetti sauce call for one or two tablespoons of tomato paste, so I end up throwing the rest of the can out. Now you've shown us a way to freeze tomato paste into individual sections! I'll be buying a large can of tomato paste, figuring out how many tablespoons are in it, then pressing all of it into a flat freezer bag, and scoring it into squares according to the number of tablespoons. Into the freezer and problem solved with no waste!
Shalom! I absolutely love your channel. I am learning all I can about being a better Jewish homemaker, and you have been such an inspiration and an encouragement to me. About the frozen bananas (I didn't look to see if anyone had answered this) but for really ripe bananas the best recipe for us is banana bread. I hope that helps you. And the ice cream I would take to a dessert island (tee hee) is Butter Pecan. Thank you again and may the Lord bless you and keep you and your family.
What amazing organisation! There's so many good tips I couldn't choose one favourite! Maybe flattening things in ziplock bags. I love organised kitchens
I have been watching your videos with great interest! It's amazing to think that these food practices and general hygiene have saved so many lives back when we didn't believe in stuff like bacteria. Besides the obvious religious and spiritual importance to it, it was also very useful to be this clean and organised in order to survive :) As for the frozen bananas, what about a banana babka?
I do love an organized kitchen! My celery is on week 2 with your tip. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Any thoughts on tomatoes? Zip lock bags are always washed and reused when possible. 🥰 sending best wishes from Bordeaux.
Yipeeeeee!!!I am so happy the celery tip is working for you too! Tomatoes 🍅 I keep them at room temperature and freeze them once it starts to be going to the mushy side!!
I love your channel. Thank you for your encouragement for all busy women. You help me feel more comfortable with my "idiosyncrasies."😊 Please continue with giving us more positive content.

Scoring the tomato paste before freezing; what a tip! Thank you for sharing so much, you are an inspiration. 🎉 Also, make chocolate nicecream out of your frozen bananas and non dairy milk.
Your videos bring tears of joy to my eyes. My grandmother (bubbe) was a holocaust survivor and her kitchen was immaculate like yours. Thank you for being such a helpful and loving Jewish woman.
Yes, please, I would like more tips on storing the fruits and vegetables. I've lost so much food as being 1 person, I can't seem to eat them fast enough. Also, having no vehicle, I shop once a month when my friend comes into town to help me out. Being able to properly store fruits and vegetables means more salads, good fresh snacks, ect!

We like it with chocolate chunks and a drop of peppermint flavor

Peppers should not be stored in a refrigerator, nor fresh tomatoes. The way they are sold in the market
is the way you should store them. (lemons and oranges DO last forever in the fridg. )
I write this with utmost respect.
Martha Stewart has nothing on you Sarah! You are AMAZING!!
Awwww thank you so so much 🥰🥰🥰
I love an organized kitchen. Thank you for so many tips. I cracked up when you showed the peppers. You see, I am 64 and my skin looks like the first pepper. I wonder where I can get enough plastic wrap to wrap me? LOL! So many of these tips will help. We are on a fixed income and cannot afford any waste. Again thank you so much for your channel. I love that you are a bridge. We need so many more like you.

Love the transparency of showing what your freezer looked like before you organized it. so many of these home organization youtube channels feel like they are designed to make homemakers feel bad about themselves. real life gets cluttered and messy sometimes and I love that you showed it's ok. You're a real wife and mother with an active and full life. It also makes your tips and advice that much more powerful when you show things you have found to streamline your life. Love your videos. G-d blessings on your house.
Love it your voice is so gentle you give to listeners sense of serenity and piece and calmness you are real healer bless you honey thank you for knowing that people like you exist
Awww Hanna, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so so much Piper❤️
Your comment is so true: many people on social media wants to make us believe, and maybe it is the reality, that their house is always clean that their refrigerators are always impeccably organized that there’s no dust on the floor, nor on any surfaces; if it is true: good for them but rest assured it is not mine and I thank G.od for that!
Because not having a maid /cook/…. At home brought me to find ways to make do specially as you know with working full-time with small kiddos and everything else my life is or can get quite chaotic ! and this is why I want to show what it is for me to try to keep my sanity, and what tips and tricks help me to somewhat achieve that including messy freezers and fuzzy macaronis!!!
thank you again for being here wishing you and your family a blessed day
I love organized kitchens.
Yes, I reuse my plastic bags. I've even been known to put them on the wash line in the sun -- to the embarrassment of my children! Ilove the tomato paste tip and I shall certainly use it. Thank you!
I too embarrass my kiddos with my reusing and recycling!! 😂😂😂
I do too!
Is there a valid reason not to reuse them? They're pricy and if they're not messy I just wash them.
I thought my mom was cheap for doing that. I currently see the method to her madness.
It’s not just that they’re expensive, it’s also that it’s incredibly wasteful to use those plastic zip top bags only once. Definitely reuse them if you can, because otherwise they go to the landfill.
I am in awe over how organized you are. It’s amazing!
Oh thank you!
I love organized kitchens! I am
not Jewish but I find your lifestyle inspiring. I am Catholic but I know the foundation of our faith comes from Judaism. This video gave me some great ideas! Thank you!
awww i am so happy it could inspire you!
I love organized Kitchens and your kindness
I love organized kitchens. After fleeting Ukraine because of war I live in a safe place with an extremely small kitchen. Keeping my kitchen kosher, your tricks from video are really helpful. More videos how to keep fruits and veggies alive for long. Toda raba!
Awww I am so sorry you are safe now sweet Alena ❤️❤️❤️ I am grateful these tips could help you! Please let me know if you have questions or need help! Stay safe and blessed xoxox
I love organized kitchens, It brings me peace to know everything has a place.
Yesssss me too! It quiets the chatter I find!
*internal chatter
Suggestion: Open disposible cup packages from the bottom, so when you reach in to get one, you are not touching and contaminating the exposed lip of the cup. Also, store them above table height to reduce contamination from dust flying around near floor level as the pantry door opens and closes.
Great tips thank you so much!
You’re so organized! And your party is definitely Pinterest worthy ❤
I love the idea of using shoe storage bins in the pantry for organizing. So clever.
Thank you! 😊
I recently discovered your channel. Love the meal preparation. I am in awe of your energy. I am a retired RN so I can appreciate how demanding being a Dr. is. I love an organized Kitchen! You may find this interesting. I am a Protestant who studies the Old Testament for Bible Studies in my home. The tradition and view of life of my Jewish friends is so amazing to me.
Awww I am so blessed to have you in my life Glenda! I LOVE my RNs!!! They are the heart and soul of our healthcare!
I love the interfaith bridges we are building you and me! May G.od bless our endeavours with love and success
Yes. The energy is outstanding and inspirational ✨ somehow it helps my depression and I started to throw things out and buy boxes etc.
I love organized kitchens! While I’m nowhere near on your level, I’ve used some of the same hacks over the years. We used to have a huge vegetable garden (hotter, dryer summers and lower-back problems have made that increasingly difficult in the past few years), so I would use quart and pint freezer bags to put up our vegetable and fruit harvests (I use the fruits to make freezer jam), as well as using the pint and quart bags for preserving meats in the freezer as well. We’d make soup from scratch (5 gallons at a time!), and I would divide the soup into four or five 3-pound margarine tubs for freezer storage. One tub of soup with a cup or two of water added made dinner for four when accompanied by grilled-cheese sandwiches.
And I also store my baking ingredients and grains in glass jars with labels, but I like to scout out those vintage instant coffee jars with the fun designs on the glass at yard sales and thrift stores. They’re great for storing anything from grains to drink mixes, and they work well for preserving time-sensitive foods like wheat germ, chia seeds, and cocoa mix in the fridge or freezer (I like to mix wheat germ and chia seeds in my pancake batter to make it healthier, whether it’s from scratch or a box mix like Bisquick or a just-add-water mix).
And if you want, I have a recipe for banana nut bread that’s just as good as the Pillsbury mix. I use chopped pecans in mine, but you can use whichever nuts you like best!

You are amazing! A true gift to all who watch and are inspired by and learn from you. A true blessing and gift from Him. I will say special prayers and ask for blessings for you and your lovely family. Thank you for all the helpful hints.
Hello from Ireland, found your channel 2 days ago and I’ve been binge watching. I’m a catholic but am always interested in learning about Judaism. You have a wonderful way of explaining and showing very interesting content. I’m enjoying all your you tube posts. Thank you for teaching, I mean no disrespect as a 55 year old Irish mum of two in their twenties, am just curious. God bless you and your family .
Hi Elaine! Welcome to my little house on TH-cam! I am so happy you are here and happy we can build bridges between ourselves and our faiths!
Please let me know if you have questions: I would love to help!
Stay safe and blessed my new friend!
Xoxox
your videos bring me a feeling of peace and happiness,and i have shared your channel with my friends. I am currently sick with covid and can not do much but lie in bed.but your videos help comfort me and keep me from being lonely
I loved the way you’ve done your pantry. I’ve done mine the same way and also my medicine cabinet along with my herb and spice cabinet. It all looks so good and neat!!! Thank you
Yippeeeee!! I am so happy it could help ❤️❤️❤️
I am in awe of your discipline in organising your fridge and freezer! I applaud you! X x x
Banana spice cake or banana bars is one of my favorite afternoon tea snacks. For breakfast I am terrible at making pancakes, but my kid does actually like my banana pancakes. I substitute 1/4 cup mashed banana for each egg the recipe calls for. The natural sugar in the banana gives the pancakes a nice caramelized flavor from cooking on the griddle.
And yes I too love organized kitchens ❤️
thank you so much Carrie:)
I LOVE ORGANIZED KITCHENS!
thank you so much for writing to me today!
I am so grateful you are enjoying our content:)
I am looking forward reading from you again soon :)
I immediately threw my recently bought celery in some foil once I saw this!
Look up banana nice cream. Frozen bananas in a food processor with whatever additions you'd like. Can add fresh or frozen fruit. Might need to add some water if using frozen fruit to loosen it a bit. Even with frozen fruit, you don't typically need to add sweetener if using ripe bananas.
If i was a kid, my go to ice cream would be strawberry. Being 36 now, I will have to save chocolate.
* I love organized kitchens.
I am so happy it could help with your celery!
Thank you for the nicecream idea❤️
As per the Ice cream: you cannot go wrong with chocolate!!
Now, because of you, I love organized kitchens.
Yay! Thank you!
I love organized kitchens! Your voice has such a lovely tone and cadence. You should do ASMR :)
awww thank you so much Colleen, i have always been very self conscious about my voice as it is not purely something i.e. purely French purely german, purely,... as i speak many languages thank G.od
so you comment strikes a very sensitive chord and i truly thank you for your kind words
I liked the saving of tomato paste idea. I like organized kitchens. I am a Christian and enjoy your videos immensely. Your voice is lyrical with love. We both have so much to glean from each other. I will say however, after watching your Shabbat preps that I'm glad I am free from all that work and dietary law. Nevertheless you are loved also. I have been to Israel twice and have a love for her and your people, put there by our mutual Father Yahweh God. I think we could be friends. Shalom.
To say I am IMPRESSED with your organizational skills would be a true understatement! I have never seen such perfection with refrigerated and frozen food structure. You are impeccable!
Wow, thank you!
Love it! "Filing" minced meat blows up my mind 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thank you :) i love that hack too!
Hi, I just found your channel and I love it! I'm not Jewish but the food storage tips are so helpful and I can't wait to start implementing them! As for bananas, banana is a fantastic supplement in most sweet baked goods for sugar. My mom used to use overripe bananas in cupcakes and cakes and it usually didn't override the cake flavor. There's lots of recipes online if you just look up banana based deserts or deserts with banana instead of sugar
Thank you so much Larissa ! I will look recipes online about how to use bananas
I had no idea you could do this either. I’m totally looking it up now. I really have enjoyed this channel so much in the short few hours I’ve been watching (I just discovered it last night). Not only are her tips things I never knew and will totally use, but the people (like you) in comments share so much great info as well. I thought I knew a lot about food storage and tricks in the kitchen as a 41 year old mom of 4. (3 of which are now adults) I mean I’m always of the mind set there is more to learn and always open to learning. But man I have learned soooo much in just this video alone and in the comments section. Im not Jewish but I really enjoy learning about different cultures, religions and just people in general as well as tips and tricks I can add into my routine and family. Thank you for sharing your tip on the bananas. I can’t wait to try it!!
Aww that is so sweet Tricia! And I agree with you 100%: this comment section is filled with golden nuggets!
I love how you keep and open mind and you are willing to learn: it tells a lot about you ! Stay safe and blessed my new friend ❤️
It’s also a good replacement for eggs. Bananas can be used in place of any baked goods where eggs were used as a binder instead of a raising agent. If the recipe you want to substitute doesn’t already include baking soda or powder, you might need to add a teaspoon.
I'm a Christian and although we obviously have some different beliefs and practices from you, I try to follow the Bible regarding passover and other practices and traditions that you also partake in so when I watch your videos I see so much that I recognize and I truly feel love for you and your precious family.
I hope we can all continue to grow as people and communities, and show honor and kindness to each other, no matter our differences because we actually have a lot more in common than we may first think ❤
Hi my friend! thank you so much for taking the time to write to me today and also to create and build with me more and more bridges between our faiths that are very very similar in so many aspects I really hope that you continue enjoying our content and I'm looking forward to reading from you again wishing you and your family only good tidings and happiness
@@frumitup thank you! I appreciate that greatly ♡ You have inspired me more than you know, with my home but also to be proud of my faith while also extending kindness to others. I am truly inspired by you!
I love organized kitchens. You are loved and you are enough.
Thank you Amber❤️❤️❤️
I am not Jewish but your channel appeared on my feed a few weeks ago. Thank you for sharing so much with us, your recipes are amazing and the traditions are beautiful. I have been following some of your cleaning and organising routines without realising😊 The frozen bananas could be used for banana bread perhaps? Bananas are not my favourite but toasted banana bread, buttered, with a cup of tea is delicious.
Aww thank you so much for connecting with me today and I am soooo grateful you can get value out of our content : I feel truly blessed.
Thank you for the banana 🍌 bread idea❤️
Stay safe and blessed 💕
I'm not kosher, nor Jewish, nor even religious, but I really enjoy your channel. So, first, thank you.
Make 'nice cream' with your frozen bananas... youtube is full of recipes for different flavours. Basically, you just blitz them in the blender with whatever flavours you like--in my house freeze dried strawberries are our favourite--and then freeze to your desired texture. I was dubious, but it's just great!
As for ziplocs, I have been washing and reusing mine for YEARS with no problems...like the viewer below, I wash them carefully and dry them carefully, and they're just fine. I also wash and reuse tin foil, I rinse and reuse paper towels and parchment paper, though more recently I'm using torn up old towels for most paper towel chores, and silicone mats for baking most things. By the way, I always watch your videos all the way to the end.
hi! thank you so much for your great tips! I will try to include them in my day to day life!
Love the use aerated produce bins! You may want to consider separating your onions and potatoes (like how you separate the fruit and veg in the fridge) as gasses onions produce will cause potatoes to sprout quicker.
That is a great great tip, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
This is so interesting. My grandma always taught us to store potatoes and onions together so as to make them both last longer....similarly...storing onion with Avocado (both open and peeled) will make them both last longer ;)
I know this is from a year ago, but you can take very ripe frozen bananas and stuff them with chocolate chips, wrap them in foil, and bake them. You can also make banana bread with them.
I love the baskets for the kitchen. Those are nice.
I had aside-by-side refrigerator-freezer, and it was always too thin to easily get things in and out of it.
Thanks for sharing!
I love organized kitchens
Depending what I've put in them, I've reused my storage bags. Of course I washed them and aired dried them. As usual great video! 👍👏👍👏👍
thank you so much ! xoxox
I also reuse, unless the previous contents were greasy or oily.
I love an organized kitchen!
you are so kind, thank you!
I cannot say this enough: I absolutely LOVE your videos! They're informative and always so kind. I learn a lot of great tips!
I always re-use my zip-lock bags whenever possible!
I love that you are showing us how you keep your produce fresh longer! These are great tips for ANYONE!!
Do you freeze your flour? My mother used to always freeze excess flour. I've heard mixed reviews about freezing it.
I've always frozen my tomato paste the exact same way! It lasts so much longer, never any waste at all and yep, I totally do the portioning trick with a butter knife! Works like a CHARM!
It's funny...watching you show how you store your meat in the freezer. I've done exactly this for years. I figured out if you store it flat as you can get it, you can then slip the freezer bags in neatly like books on a shelf! It makes finding what you need so easy. I also tend to portion out large quantities of meat in 1 or 2lbs portions, usually ground meats are ways just 1lbs each.
Besides smoothies, frozen bananas are great for banana bread! There are several kosher recipes and although you need to thaw the frozen bananas, and they will darken which means they're sweeter...once baked they are fantastic! A trick I've found that really helps to keep them from browning too quickly is to slice the bananas into 1 1/2" slices, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or plastic wrap and then freeze. Once frozen transfer the frozen slices into airtight freezer bags. This keeps them fresh looking for up to three months!
There are so many other uses for frozen bananas too. I use mine in my "Monster cookies" recipe. It's not traditional but I find they really help keep the cookies moist and soft! Replace the white sugar with softened, frozen bananas and voila! They also add a lovely tropical flavor to the cookies. Monster cookies are mostly peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips and chocolate candy pieces. I like to replace the chocolate candy pieces with dried fruit like dried cranberries. (Which are kosher and do not need to be checked for infestation as they are checked before they are dried!) My family loves my twist on monster cookies better than the original recipe! These cookies are NOT parve for Passover as they do contain baking soda.
P.S. my absolute favorite ice cream flavor is: Coffee. Hands down.
I love coconut but it doesn't love me at all...so Coffee wins!
thank you so so so much Jussy! i will try your monster cookie tip for sure!
as per your favourite ice cream: i agree: coffee is AMAZING!
I am not Jewish but my backgound is polish. I so enjoy your videos. They are so inspiring to me. I share them with my family.Thank you so much❤️
I love organized kitchens- and I love your tips on preserving produce. I’d love to see more on that!
Will do!!
I love organized kitchens and the rest of the home
I am not Jewish, but I love how you teach your culture to us. I don’t have any suggestions on the bananas- as I don’t eat them. Thank you for this tour- especially the pantry organization! It was so inspiring and inspired me to tackle my own small pantry, which had been annoying me for a longgggggg time. Love your videos!
I love organized kitchens. I love organizing anything.
This is absolutely fascinating! As a single person who lives alone, I do a lot of bulk purchasing and freezing. For example, when I made chicken noodle soup last week, I bought large bags of carrots and celery and chopped it all : half went into my soup, half into Tupperware to freeze for other things. But it never occurred to me to save and reuse my chicken storage ziplocks! I hate plastic waste, so thanks for the tip!
She talked about reusing the ziplock bags she used for bread! I would NOT reuse chicken storage bags ever - unless you’d like to get salmonella. 😊
Your kitchen organizational skills are brilliant!
I love organized kitchens! FYI your calming voice put the tiny toddler to sleep on my lap! BnJ vegan chocolate garcia !! Wanted to share a hard won lesson, if you can organize a freezer fruit, veg and bread above meat with chicken and fish at the bottom, that way if the power dies you have a better chance of having food you can eat as the fruit and veg isn't coated in raw meat ick. This 'trick' legit saved me from starving once. long story short the freezer got defrosted while I was at work one day and after refreezing it all (helps with the smell while cleaning it up) I was able to save fruit veg and beef. I didn't have the ability to buy more food for 3 weeks, the freezer had just been fully stocked the day before the catastrophe. I hope you never have to experience that sort of failure but stacking that way can offer peace of mind when everything else seems to be going off the rails.
Wooowww thank you so much for the tip Victoria! I’m sorry you had to go through that and at the same time I am so grateful you are sharing your experience so we can learn from it!
Stay safe and blessed ❤️❤️❤️
@@frumitup And, since cold falls and heat rises, meat at the bottom will have a better chance of staying frozen longer. (I think you knew that. I posted in case someone else didn't.)
Another trick for freezers is to take a small plastic container and freeze and add a coin or marble and place a lid on top. This is handy if you are gone and the freezer goes off and resumes freezing. If the coin isn’t on top then it thawed. It also helps because it provides an indicator as to how long it was out. Especially helpful if you are gone on vacation. Also on an upright, ALWAYS lock it when leaving, learned this the hard way when it wasn’t closed well and we lost everything. I have also found a dry erase board on the outside listing the contents to be helpful.
I LOVE organized kitchens!
Hi Sara Malka, I recently discovered your channel and I love it. Everything is so organized and beautiful. Thanks for that. 😃. you can do banana bread with the banana's the more brown they are the sweater so you can add less sugar.
Ouuhhhh I love your idea ! If you have a recipe I would love it!!!
Xoxoxo
Wow! You’re so organized! It’s very impressive that you do all of this while also working outside of your home and having small children. “I love small kitchens!” I hope you have a lovely week 😊
Thank you so much Carina ❤️❤️❤️
I love organized kitchens!
Yeah we need more tips on storing 😍
Edit: LOVE ORGANISED KITCHENS
For the frozen bananas look up "nice cream" basically you blend them and they make a kind of ice cream (you can add cocoa powder, berries, nut butters, whatever makes you happy).
If I had to have only 1 ice cream flavor... pistachio. Full stop.
I don't reuse ziplock bags. Like the plastic breaks down with time. I'm a big fan of silicone bags (I like Stasher brand) and containers.
I love organized kitchens. I don't have one (I live with 2 other adults and we are all tornados) but they are nice.
I love organized kitchens! I adore your videos. My Bubbe passed a few years ago and watching your videos remind me so much of her and it fills me with joy. She would always share the way you could do things and her tips. I really love all that you share and I think one of my favorite tips was for your glass jars! Such a great idea to make a little fold on the tape so it’s easy to remove. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Sara,
I absolutely love an organised Kitchen. The Icecream l would take with me is Peppermint.
Take care of yourself!
Dave
Ouuuuhhhh peppermint! That’s a really refreshing choice : I love it!!!
I love the consideration you have for your guests. I really hope to be able to store so many options some day.
The tomato paste idea is genius!
Thank you so much!
I love organized kitchens! My desert island ice cream would have to be chocolate.. coffee would be a close second! Your labeled drawers in the fridge and freezer are really cool. And the hidden chocolate bar.. I totally relate! Thanks for the great video.
Thank you so much Jeanne for taking the time in your day to write to me!
I am with you with either chocolate 🍫 or coffee ice cream!!!
As per the hidden chocolate stash: I think it’s a must to get a quick endorphins release!! 😁😁!
Thank you for teaching me how to store my veggies! You have saved me from creating waste.
I'm so glad!

thank you Rosanne:)

Frozen Bananas: I freeze them in middle sized pieces and then make the best, simplest ice cream out of them with my Champion Juicer. Perfectly creamy without anything else added to it. Free choice to use Chocolate Syrup or Sprinkles, Strawberry-Sauce or Crisped Nuts as a Topping.
And: a few days ago I made an oat-banana-milk and what I didn't drink I used for my Mac&Cheese. That was interesting. I could smell the banana more than I could taste it. And the sauce was really good (with the right spices, etc.). My partner also really liked it.
Thank You for your love ❤
Thank you so much sweet Aorelia❤️❤️❤️
Your tips are AMAZING!
For freezing condiments (including buttermilk!) I love my silicone ice cube molds. I freeze it and transfer it to a ziplock bag.
And yes, I reuse ziplock bags as long as I did not keep meat or anything greasy in them as I found I could not clean those properly.
what great tips!
thank you Tiff!
I love organized kitchens…. It’s perfect.
awww thank you!
Thank you for making and sharing this video! The thought and care you put into it is really evident. One request though- I love your tips on how to store food, and I would love to see options for people who don't use plastic wrap and aluminum foil. There are not only serious environmental drawbacks to creating so much waste, but increasing awareness of the health risks of exposure to aluminum. Thanks!
thank you so so much Nava! I am working on a video about that ! it takes a bit of time to find kosher alternatives!
You're amazing. I absolutely love all the tip & tricks. I definitely reuse my ziplock bags, after I wash them, of course! Great video.
PS: Weimans makes great cleaning products. I particularly love their glass cooktop clean. It's fantastic.
Awww thank you soooo much my sweet friend!
I will look in Weimans product!
I love organized kitchens! I’d use the bananas to make banana cake for Shabbat. My favorite tip is the scoring of the tomato paste before freezing! Thank you so much.
I love organized kitchens. Sara, thank you for this informative and inspiring video on organizing a wide array of items in freezers and refrigerators.
I live alone and cooking for one is challenging when it comes to planning a variety of nutritious and appetizing meals.
There can be a lot of waste, and tomato paste is a good example. My recipes for spaghetti sauce call for one or two tablespoons of tomato paste, so I end up throwing the rest of the can out. Now you've shown us a way to freeze tomato paste into individual sections! I'll be buying a large can of tomato paste, figuring out how many tablespoons are in it, then pressing all of it into a flat freezer bag, and scoring it into squares according to the number of tablespoons. Into the freezer and problem solved with no waste!
Yipppeeee! No more fuzzy tomato paste for you sweet Vivian!
Xoxoox
Shalom! I absolutely love your channel. I am learning all I can about being a better Jewish homemaker, and you have been such an inspiration and an encouragement to me.
About the frozen bananas (I didn't look to see if anyone had answered this) but for really ripe bananas the best recipe for us is banana bread. I hope that helps you.
And the ice cream I would take to a dessert island (tee hee) is Butter Pecan. Thank you again and may the Lord bless you and keep you and your family.
awww thank you for your great ideas!

I wash my bags with warm soapy water, rinse then hang them on the line. It works perfectly!
I have been watching your videos with great interest! It's amazing to think that these food practices and general hygiene have saved so many lives back when we didn't believe in stuff like bacteria. Besides the obvious religious and spiritual importance to it, it was also very useful to be this clean and organised in order to survive :)
As for the frozen bananas, what about a banana babka?

Your videos bring tears of joy to my eyes. My grandmother (bubbe) was a holocaust survivor and her kitchen was immaculate like yours. Thank you for being such a helpful and loving Jewish woman.
Yes, please, I would like more tips on storing the fruits and vegetables. I've lost so much food as being 1 person, I can't seem to eat them fast enough. Also, having no vehicle, I shop once a month when my friend comes into town to help me out. Being able to properly store fruits and vegetables means more salads, good fresh snacks, ect!
Wow , you are a beautiful lady , and such a wonderful wife and mom. I learn so much from you .. So organized, i love your vidieos, i love the prayers in mourning. SO amazing shabbat, i was born jewish ✡️ , but was never taught. You are amazing . I watch everyday.. Thank you
