Great tips! I already do most of them.

My mom taught me a tip when cooking: Start with a sink of clean dishwater and clean as you go! That way, when you're done with cooking (and eating) and don't feel like doing much, you don't have much left!

Kay, I love the tip about using command cord organizers on large appliances!!! I'm always looking to eliminate cord clutter and it's tough to do. Thanks!

[AliceManfrida]

That cord trick on the appliances is genius!!!

Great tips. I keep my lids with the containers too. I just stack the lids underneath and nest the open containers on top that go with those lids.

😂 I loved “the disrespect of your camera”!!! Hilarious!!!! Thank you ❤️

Someone who finally isn’t all about “nesting” the Tupperware! Thank you!! I HATE searching for lids. I just keep everything together and it saves my sanity.

if the oven drawer gets heated when cooking it is a warming drawer at the very least. command hooks? brilliant. Neighbors who insist I should use top shelves of cabinet? cause I only have 4 upper cabinets? stupid. at running into 7 decades quickly w terminal cancer I just don't see the need to speed up my own demise by using a step ladder only to find myself on the floor broken ... literally. Nor do I feel the need to limit my utensils or pots and pans just because I am living blissfully alone. Thanks for showing the drawer of utensils, the one w all the gadgets and the knife drawer, there is only 2 of you so I feel the love. thank you for establishing how close to put what. I have a kitchenette attached to my kitchen where stands in all its glory a metal shelving unit where all canned foods live and another one with all pots, pans, baking etc. I added shelves to allow my storage at proper heights and still way under weight limit. I have a chair and a very small table for my personal eating there also. "but where will you sit your dinner guests?" in a restaurant. the kitchenette is just 8x8 ft. I am old, keeping it clean, on levels I can safely reach, still finding new recipes, watching my favorite soprano who offers help and hints, supports clutter as an individual thing. I am not a minimalist just keep downsizing things I dont want or can no longer use. oh, and has a spoiled dog just like me lol thanks for all you do.

The container/lid conundrum can be solved by buying different volume containers all with the same lid. The containers can then nest and the lids can be kept on a door caddy, and you just lift the size of container you need and every lid fits. Of course, you might want to have a few irregular sizes, but that works for most of your needs.

Thanks for a great video! Got inspirert to clean and organise my kitchen. 🥰

This is the first time I watched your videos and I am a fan already! I love how real and fun you are. I have a much smaller kitchen and I am getting tired of the lack of space to store stuff. My first thought? Buy a bigger house! My second thought? I can’t afford it 🤷🏼‍♀️, so I realized that what I need is to get rid of “I might use it” kind of stuff. I definitely need a containers’ declutter. I am going to move the stuff that I don’t use often further away like you suggested. It made me realize that I have stuff of the same kind in different cabinets. I feel better already just with the inspiration you gave me. I can visualize what I am going to do. My relationship with my kitchen right now is ‘get in, do what needs to be done and get out fast’, so yes I don’t like my kitchen. I need to fall in love again with it. Thank you so much! 🤗❤️

I discovered your videos just a few months ago. I’ve truly enjoyed watching them. You are a delight, and very entertaining. Plus the info you provide is so helpful. And, girl! So glad to finally hear someone with the correct information about fridge crisper drawers! That aesthetic fridge thing might be pretty, but not practical or economical! Thanks again for your videos, keep them coming…

[karilynschaffer]

Great tips, great format. Love your humor, "realness" and your dog. :)

[siggirl]

I’m a very organized person, especially my kitchen. You just taught me something great! The command hooks on my small appliances! Thank you for sharing! Great video! 😍

[ssmith]

I really never thought of any of these. DUH! Fantastic video! Possibly my favorite! Thank you

[helenmoore]

I'm so glad you told us about Mealime. We had our first try at it tonight. We did the Salmon and Asparagus dinner. It was amazing! In less than 30 minutes our dinner was on the table. I will be using this app a lot more.

The container lids with or under the containers is a must. I recently moved and I had large cabinet under counter drawers (oh I miss them so much!) which I also divided with plastic shoe boxes to keep things neat. When it came time to move some did not have lids with them which meant I could not pack them as they were in the drawers!! I found that I had done that all over the house over the years and it was a buggar to match all of the larger containers with the lids!! Lesson learned. Also I use a three tier organizer right next to my stove to keep all my plates. What a time saver this is for us as we are always using different sized plates throughout the day. Great tips here!! 😉

♡That clover bean! Awesome, thanks for the tips, your such an awesome person .

[adelechicken]

I don't often comment on videos, but I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed this one for many reasons. I like the way that you make suggestions, not orders. The fact that your countertops actually have the things you use often on them makes your kitchen a warmer, welcoming workplace, rather than sterile. Lazy susans,  my kitchen has 9 of them. Weirdly, I have 3 of them on my base cabinet lazy susan.  When I open it, they are on the right hand side in the front and make a lot of smaller items easier to find.  So much easier to spin a small one than dig or turn the whole unit.  Lastly, love the command hooks, will be checking those out, for sure.  Thanks.

OMG Clover’s reaction at the word ball is just to cute!!! 🥰
