- My objective for this channel is to share with others what I have learned over the last 30+ years about living and eating healthier. I share my knowledge with my small circle of friends all the time. I am not a doctor, nor do I hold any type of medical degree, but I believe that my tried experiences may help someone else.
For over 30 years I have used every diet imaginable to lose weight, but I confess that I am now at home using the vegan lifestyle. I want to share what I have learned about eating and enjoying food. And, since I am still learning how to be more consistent with this lifestyle, I have decided to eat more healthily, realizing the weight will come off eventually. Though I have not reached my goal weight, I know that sharing with other people in front of a camera with help me to stay on course.
I have, with the help of my husband of 37 years, raised 3 grown children. I will also share some cooking shortcuts as well as some natural formulas I have used and still use for everyday problems.

Really great tips! That HAS inspired me to eat salad more. I love salad, but the prep and storage was always a problem. Using your methods would help a lot. Having everything prepped and keeping well would make a huge difference! Thank you.
Joyce, l am so thankful for your comments and knowing l've helped you with eating salad again! 😊
This woman, simply put, is just a whole lot of common sense....very practical. I had no idea you shouldn't refrigerate tomatoes, onions, & potatoes.😄
Thanks so much, Clarence. I just share what I have learned that works for me. I really do appreciate your support. You are so kind-❤️ed.
Thanks Berta! I love you, I want to have coffee or tea with youxo
Hehehehe...thanks, Wanalee but the thing is I have never liked coffee. I usually drink herbal tea. Just thought you should know that. Thanks for your comment.
What a beautiful person! I just love her! Thank you so very much for sharing those tips! I will be using them to keep my salads better!
Sorry for the delay in responding, Elaine. 😔 I really enjoy sharing what I have learned with others and am thankful that you will be able to use this little tip...I use it all the time. I can assure you that it will help you make your salads quicker. Thanks again😊
Great basic tips. Thanks Berta Jay!
You're welcome, Jennifer.
Very pleasant lady...love you sweet voice. Thank you...
Thank you, Teresa, for leaving your comment. I appreciate you taking the time to do so.
Berta Jay, I just found you on here a week ago and I love your videos. So down to earth as my mom used to say. Looking forward to more. Sorry for the typo in my last post.
@@teresadaigle6991...so glad you found me. NO need to apologize. Do you know the person who never makes an error or mistake? ;-)
You're welcome, Teresa. Thank you so much for your kind comment. I truly enjoy my "work" in my kitchen.
Thank you for these great tips! I am transitioning to a high raw vegan diet and my veggies (and fruit) always go bad before I eat them. This will save me a ton of money. New subbie! Off to watch more of your videos! 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
Thanks, E. So thankful that these tips will help you. Blessings and strength to you as you continue on your raw diet. I did try it but I missed so many cooked foods. Each person has to find the right lifestyle for her/him. You do what's best for you. Thanks for you comment.
How’d it go ? I can’t seem to stick to anything more than a couple of weeks
Thanks, Berta, you’re wonderful to watch. I love how you obviously work out of your kitchen and not out of a super flash, decked out in modern appliances, sort of kitchen. Your idea of letting wet paper towels dry and re-using them is wonderful. We throw too much away nowadays. Just a little tip from someone who owns a worm farm - I put my veggie waste (except citrus, chillies, onions and garlic etc) into my worm bin and I toss my ‘beyond saving’ paper towels in there for the worms too. Thanks and Kia Ora from New Zealand. Bless you.
Thanks for your comments. I do just work from my old kitchen. We do need some new appliances and I will paint and make some new curtains one day but for now it's my kitchen and I enjoy cooking in it. Thanks for noticing and being so supportive. I appreciate my viewers from 'down under!' WOW!
I'm excited, Birdie. How do I make a worm bin? This sounds great. Do you have plans for one?
Thanks again ;-).
A beautiful natural presentation - awesome talent - wonderfully smooth to listen to and remember - thank you.
Thank you. Agni, for your encouraging words. I am humbled by them. You've made me smile 😁👍🏽
This is the best veggie prep video that I have seen ! Thank you for sharing this information !
I'm so glad I found your channel Mrs. Berta Jay. May God bless you
Thank you so much, Miracle...what a great name. I am so grateful you found me as well. May the Lord richly bless you, also. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment.
Great ideas and easy to implement. Thank you.
Love prepping my veggies ahead of time. Sure makes dinner easier! Thank you for such good advice! Love you Miss Berta J❤️
You're so welcome, kay. I am overjoyed to hear that this little tip has helped you so much! I prepare my salad veggies ahead of time all the time.
Thanks for sharing😊🥬🥕🥗
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I really appreciate you sharing these methods, soggy vegetables is the main reason I’ve not made as many salads as I’d like for work lunches, thank you again
Okay, now 301jules, you can start making your salads again and get healthier. You body will surely thank you for that. Thanks for your comment.
Love your hair cut and I enjoy your salad tips :)
Thanks so much, Kim, for your kind words. I appreciate your comment.
Thanks, Berta Jay. Love your videos. Great basic tips -- for young and old.
Thanks so much, Deb. I guess you could call these tips...timeless, eh? Thanks so much for your comment. I appreciate you taking the time to leave it👍🏽👌🏽😊
So enjoyable you are to watch! Sweet, confident and interested in helping make the kitchen tasks more manageable :) Thank you for sharing your tricks!
You're welcome, Julie. I really love what l do. Thank you for your support and encouragement. I am so grateful l am helping you in some small way.
@@bertajay bean burritos
Thank you so much I live alone and I am always throwing out salad fixings beacuse they go bad before I can eat them all
Try this method, Donna, and see how it works for you. I do hope this tip helps. I know you want to be frugal and not wasteful. Thanks for your comment.
Same here. Tips were so helpful!
@@galespressos Let me know after using this if it helped you at all. Thanks 🥰
@Berta Jay I know you're trying to help people save money & not be wasteful, however my main concern is that once vegetables/fruit are cut they begin to lose their nutrients, minerals & flavour 🤔 So I would suggest people buy less & more often, using supplies as fresh as possible for the greatest benefits.
@@sarahsharma2627 I honestly appreciate your concern, Sharma. But I have a question for you.
Which is worse? An overweight/unhealthy/sick person who is finally making better food choices MOST of the time and using this tip to have something prepared ahead of time
-OR-
An o/u/s person knowing they have to chop up their foods because they don't want to LOSE precious nutrients/minerals and flavor EACH TIME that one wants a salad or steamed food?
I know because I have been there and though I have not yet reached my goal weight, I know I feel better using this tip every day even with lost n, m and f.
Again, thank you for voicing your concern and those who want to do things as you suggest...can 😊
Great hints, I sure appreciate it.
This women is just a big ball of sunshine ☀️☺️. Love from Maldives
Another winner from Berta Jay. Thanks I’ll be trying this.
You're welcome, Laurie. I use this method all the time and it makes my salad prep so easy.
Thanks for your support and your kind words. 🥰
I just found Berta Jay's video on storing salad items and putting a salad together in minutes. It was first shown about 4 years ago. Encouraged me to start doing the same! I subscribed.. I will go back over her.videos to see what I've missed. Thank you Berta Jay!
Thank You! Thank You!! I saw your video about keeping salad crispy for a week~ I've been doing it only on a larger scale so that I have 2 massive sa/lads per day for three days. The additional smaller containers maintain the variety, the flavors, and the color/texture I require. Scallions, drained black beans, drained navy beans, drained artichoke hearts, pickled beets, sliced black olives, dill pickle spears, grated carrot, cheese, and more. Not all at the same time, of course, but each day as a container runs out I add something different. This is the first time I've been able to stick to my diet. Again, Thanks for sharing!
WOW, Chris! I am so thankful and glad that I was able to help you. That makes me see that my channel does really help others...that's the real reason I started it. Hooray! Keep sticking to your food plan and it'll soon be your lifestyle. ☺ I am proud of you!
You are such a precious lady and thankyou
You are so welcome, Dana. Thank you for you kind words. I just do what I love doing...sharing what I learn.
This is helpful. Thank you!
Thank you Bertha Jay! I love your videos! I've learned so much from you! Thank you!
Yes, we all need to eat more veggies and salad! It is so important to good health!
You're so welcome, Cynthia. I love to teach what l know works because l use it. Glad you found this tip helpful. Keep watching...more to come. 😊
Wow thanks a lot I been busy working from home and I need this because I find it time consuming to prepare it every meal!
Hi Berta, thanks for these great tips. I hadn't thought of using the paper towels for my other salad veggies.👍✨
You are welcome, oldschool65. This really works and makes it possible to have a salad ready in a short time. Do give it a go. 😊
Accidently found your channel.....hooray. Love your way of explaining things simply and truthfully.
Accidents aren't accidents when you've learned something that will benefit you, so, finding my channel was meant to be--just a thought. Anyway, I am so thankful, Hadassah, that you are benefiting from my experience. I love sharing what I've learned over the years. Thanks so much for your comment.
Thanks Grandma Berta you have taught me how to have fresh salad now 🙂
Really excellent TIPS 👍 i m going to start cutting up my salads the same way!
When you do that, Paola, you will definitely save ti.e and money. Do try this tip soon. Then let me know how it works for you. Thanks for your comment😋
I love your salad bowls.
these were such great tips!! thank you Berta! :) Love the level of detail you provide.. like how you showed how putting the paper towel under the scallions makes it easy to pick up and just sprinkle on top. Such a simple yet effective tip at making life easier while making salads :)
You are so welcome, Eman. I do like to share the details...sometimes too many, I think but nevertheless, I do it...it's a habit☺
Great video. A nice tip to keep in my back pocket ^-^
Thanks, son. I know you'll use it.
Awesome thank you so much Berta Jay love your tips I'm definitely going to do this with my salad bits from here on out👍😁
Are you from the UK? Why do I ask? Most people don't usually use the word 'bits' to describe salad 'toppings'...but, joanna, I like it. ☺
Have a wonderful day and keep enjoying your salads with the 'bits' on top ❤
@@bertajay hi Bert I'm not from the UK I'm from little old new Zealand. It's my naughty broken English when I use the word bits. But I think your amazing thank you for all your wonderful kitchen tips. Take care my friend bless you👍😁
The tips are very very helpful... Thank you so much...
You are so welcome, zawadzarif. Glad to have you watching. 🙂
Berta thanks so much..i watch your videos from Iran and i just love them...
You are so welcome, Sarah. WOW! from Iran. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks Berta. We are eating more salads now and using your method to store the veggies.
I am so glad to read those words, Faye. The more good, quality, calorie-dense foods you put into your body, the healthier you will become. And, funny thing, your body will start to desire those healthier foods...it's true. You'll see, if you haven't already.
Thanks so much for your comment, Faye. I appreciate your words of encouragement. 🥗
I love your videos Miss Berta Jay! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I also enjoy your voice...very relaxing! ❤️ -Angie from Ohio
Thank you so much, Angie! I do love what I do and am thankful that it comes across to you and so many of my viewers. I appreciate your kind words and am humbled by them.
Honestly, I never knew I had a relaxing voice 🥴❤️
Hey hey Berta Jay...I'm one of your troupers. Excellent tips as always. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, B. Glad you have as a Trouper in my Troup. I enjoy sharing what I know or have found out. Glad you're one of the ones who appreciates the little I know. ☺ I keep trying and learning.
Berta Jay, thank you so much. Yes, it did help! All of it! I tried keeping the vegetables for the salad as you showed us and it makes it so much easier,. Small change, King Kong difference. Now IS helping everyday. Love, changing the diaper idea. Price adds up for towels so that idea, changing the diaper, is an enormous help. Cheese cloth works too, not as well, but thought of it when I ran out of towels. You are a treasure. Want to hug you. Nutrition makes a difference but keeping and preparing food is a challenge for so many of us, even when we know better and want to eat better. Thank you with all my heart.
Oh, Gale, you probably will never know how greatly your words have encouraged me this day! I live to help someone else with what I know and have learned over the years. I am so thankful you are a recipient of what I have learned. I do love sharing. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your blessed words to my ears. 🥕🥬🍅🥰.. You are a treasure to me.
My goodness!! Such a great idea!! Thank you!!
I have been doing this for years and just hadn't shared it because l thought many people were already doing this. Guess l was wrong😄. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you so much for this info. I just recently started buying these mixed greens for my salads and was having the same problem with slimey leaves! So happy to no there is a solution.
I really want you to try this, Melissa. I know it will help you. Thanks so much for your comment.
LOVE THIS ❤️
I see more salads in my future. So helpful! Keep posting more videos!!!

You're welcome, Hilda. It is such a simple tip that can help you save time and money. Thanks for your comment.😊
Just left your video on the chicken seasoning, and I left a comment complementing your hair. Now you have this really cool cut! Beautiful! Elyse
Thanks, Elyse. You're a dear one to me.
Your hair looks beautiful!!
Thank you. !!!
Thank you so much, I don’t know how many bags of salad over the years I have thrown out, so simple too.
This is a little tip that works very well. Do give it a try. I know you'll see how easy it is once you try it. Allows you to have a salad ready to eat in a little while and saves you money too. 😊
🥬🥕🥗
Great tips Berta, I have used paper to save my greens, works great!. The next thing I tried was to cut up a white torn cotton bedsheet to use instead of paper, also works great and zero paperwaste. I never thougt of using this method with the other hard vegetables you show us, thank you.
Berta, thank you so much for your videos! My husband and I are on Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's plant based diet, following my husband's heart attack four and a half years ago. We need to eat salads every day, but I was having trouble keeping the salad fresh for more than three days. Your tip about using paper towels is one I'm going to try right away! Also, I'm going to use your tips on chopped veggie storage. This will save us so much time and money. Again, thank you and God bless you always!
I am so glad that my tips are helping you; I am also, glad that Dr. Esselstyn's PB lifestyle is helping you as well...it's what I follow. I am getting better and better at it. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll see the results that you couldn't have gotten any other way. What we eat surely makes a difference in our bodies that God gave to us.
Thanks so much, PhoebeAnne, for your supportive comments...I appreciate them and you. 🥰
Dr. Esselstyn's plan is truly wonderful! So happy that you're doing it, too! I'm happy that I found your channel, Berta!
@@GrandmDretti Me, too. I will try to keep you encouraged. We can help each other. Thanks so much. 🌹
Just enjoying this video and her way of presenting her videos.
I am so glad you are enjoying my channel, Silverfox! I want to share what I learn with you to help you in your kitchen.

Ty very much I have been married 42 yrs and did know how to keep these veggie fresh ty again will try it
You're welcome, Vicki. Only...I am not sure if you DID KNOW or you forgot the word NOT! Either way, I am glad you will try this. It does make getting together a salad so much simpler. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you Berta for all these wonderful tips. I'm so excited because I love salad but I don't eat them due to not knowing how to store my veggies. Now I'll get to eat salad every day!
Yes, you will, Maria. Do this and you won't be sorry. You don't have to chop every time you want a salad but only when the chopped veggies run out.
Thank you Berta!❤️
You're welcome, Betsy.
Thank you!
Thank you for the tips 😀
You are so welcome, joetta. I like your name. Have a peaceful day. 😊
