1
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Hi everybody. I'm Kelsey Nixon and this is Kitchen Prescription,

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: the podcast you listen to when you don't know what

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: to make for dinner. Today's episode forty nine complete Kitchen

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: Refresh part for Hi guys. I am recording this fresh

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: off a rejuvenating couple of days away with friends. And

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: if I didn't have any sort of testimony of friendship

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: before this weekend, I sure do now and I did.

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: I just have the best friends, you know, and like

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: friendship in general, especially as we age and we're in

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: the hustle and bustle of raising kids. It's just unbelievably restorative.

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: And not only that, but I think it's necessary for

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: not feeling so alone. This for me, at least, this

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: is such a chapter of chaos where there's always so

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: much going on, but it's also kind of a unique

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: chapter where I can feel alone and feel like I'm

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: the only one going through something. All the more reason

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: that I have found friendship to be just so so important.

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: It's this incredible group of friends. There's nearly fifteen of

19
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: us from college, and we get together once a year

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: really consistently. We see really active on the Marco Polo

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: app and it's just the most dynamic group of women.

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: We have women who are professors, and we have women

23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: who work in finance, and women who are incredible entrepreneurs

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: and moms who stay home and are doing an amazing

25
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: job raising kids. We have people running small businesses and

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: people running really big businesses. So it's just such a

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: fascinating group of women. And more than anything else, the

28
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: fact that we are all able to maintain such valuable

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: friendship without any sort of drama is just one in

30
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: a million. We're just so grateful for each other. So

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: I am feeling so happy coming off of that. We

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: really talked about everything from babies to breakfast and our

33
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: best and worst most recent Amazon purchases. We just covered

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: it all. So I'm excited because this is our very

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: last week of discussing my complete kitchen refresh, So we're

36
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: going to get into the last of it this episode.

37
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: Those things that I use in my kitchen for storage

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: and cleaning, honestly, some of the things I use most

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: if I'm being honest. But before we do that, let's

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: talk about three simple recipes you could throw on a

41
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: meal plan this week if you are stuck trying to

42
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: decide what to make for dinner. First up, it is

43
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: a new month. May is here in just a couple

44
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: of days, and so I am thrilled to have a

45
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: couple of new recipes to add to our Recipe Club library.

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: Every month we had five new recipes. It's like a living,

47
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: breathing cookbook that just gets better every month. And these

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: are really great recipes. This month, we try to focus

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: on recipes that would be great for drop off dinners.

50
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: When I think about May, I think about Mother's Day,

51
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: when I think about being a mom myself and supporting

52
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: other mothers, I just I can't think of a better

53
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: gift to give a new mom or an overwhelmed mom

54
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: than dinner that she does not have to make for

55
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: her family. So I wanted to spend some time focusing

56
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: on dinner so that we're great for that. And one

57
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: of those recipes is this five ingredient tortilla soup. Now,

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: this is amazing to take to someone because it takes

59
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: hardly any time to throw together, and also you could

60
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: take this to someone and also take the five ingredients

61
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: to make it again. It's just a very simple recipe

62
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: and it's almost like a canvas or a template for

63
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: adding to it, depending on how elaborate you want to get.

64
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: It's almost like tacos. So it's like the five ingredients

65
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: are chicken, broth or stock, however you want to do that.

66
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: There's some cuman, there is a rotisserie chicken that is

67
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: shredded in there. There is some handalini beans, and then

68
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: the secret, the real clutch ingredient here is a jar

69
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: of really good salsaverite. And what's great about that sal

70
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: saverit is kind of a shortcut ingredient is it's a

71
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: really clean type of ingredient to have a lot of

72
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: flavor packed into it, meaning there's not a ton of

73
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: junk in it. There's garlic and tomatillos and like all

74
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 1: of that stuff that has so much flavor all packed

75
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: into one ingredient, and then you can kind of treat

76
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: it like tacos. So like when my family has it,

77
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: and when we're gonna have it this week, I'm gonna

78
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: start with a bowl of rice because I know my

79
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: kids love rice, So I'm gonna start with bowl of

80
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: rice and then surf this soup over the rice. Then

81
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna top it with all the good stuff cilantro

82
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: and pickled onions and some crumbled cotilla cheese and maybe

83
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: some crushed up tortilla chips, and it's gonna be delicious.

84
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I also should note I know a lot of us

85
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: are gearing up for summer, not even summer, right, we're

86
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: still coming out of winter at least springing. You're probably

87
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: not thinking about soup, but we're dipping like twenty degrees

88
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: next week, so I'm already anticipating with soup on the schedule,

89
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: all right. Second recipe Korean beef and rice bowls. Oh

90
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, these are so good. I love when I

91
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: forget about a recipe and then I remember it. My

92
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: kids in particular love this recipe. It uses ground beef,

93
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: which I always have in my freezer. So much flavor

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: in just a couple of ingredients. And I'm going to

95
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: make a double batch of rice so that I have

96
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: rice for our tortilla soup and then rice for our

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: Korean beef and rice bowls, and two completely different flavor profiles,

98
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: but saves me a step. And then finally a skillet

99
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: creamy tomato tortellini. My kids really love tortellini and I

100
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 1: like it for as a pasta. It's a bit hardier

101
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: and it's got a little more oomph to it. So

102
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: this is just a really simple recipe. It's got some

103
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: spinach in there as well, and good So we're doing Mexican,

104
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: we're doing Korean, and we're doing Italian all in one week.

105
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: Those are three really simple recipes. You can find them

106
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,240

123
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: I've got my whole library of five ingredient recipes in there.

124
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: This is set up really well. So let's jump into

125
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: the back half of the podcast and discuss the final part,

126
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Part four of My Complete Kitchen Refresh. We're going to

127
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: go through all of the items that fall under the

128
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: category of storage and cleaning. I genuinely can't believe we're

129
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: wrapping this up, this whole content series, and I can

130
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: just be straight with you guys. The hardest part of

131
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: this was sticking to a goal myself because I promised

132
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: myself I was going to share one cabinet or drawer

133
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: of my kitchen every single day with the exception of

134
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Sundays in the month of April. And whether you are

135
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: familiar with posting on social media or not, it is

136
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: hard to do that. And I've actually ended up doing

137
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: two posts each day and it has just been it's

138
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: been kind of exhausting, but I'm so grateful to have

139
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: done it. Not only has it made me just get

140
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: organized myself, but the response has been fantastic. I love

141
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: seeing that you guys are doing your own refreshing, even

142
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: if it's just one drawer at a time, your silverware drawer,

143
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: or your cookware, or your simple dinner plates. I stand

144
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: by the fact that I really believe that one of

145
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: the best things you can do to make it easier

146
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: to get dinner on the table is to have your

147
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: kitchen in order. And I don't know that anyone's going

148
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: to disagree with that, but it's really tough to do,

149
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: and so breaking it down into smaller, more manageable pieces

150
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: or tasks, or drawers or cabinets is a great way

151
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: to approach it. So I mentioned we are going to

152
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: talk about storage and cleaning this week, and I want

153
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: to kind of run through each day and discuss the

154
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: highlights when it came to my recommendations, my favorites, and

155
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: also some of the questions I received from both Recipe

156
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Club members and my other audience members on Instagram. So

157
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: we're going to start with food storage and or the

158
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: containers that you store your food in. I guess we

159
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: could call them Tupperware, but as we all know, Tupperware

160
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: is a brand that I actually think is about to

161
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: go under. But you know what I'm talking about, those containers,

162
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: and far too many of us have a drawer or

163
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: a cabinet full of mismatched tupperware that can kind of

164
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: come crashing down when you open the cabinet or get

165
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: stuck when you're trying to open that drawer. And I

166
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: know you know what I'm talking about, and you've got,

167
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: you know, containers that are square and some are circle circular,

168
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: and some are rectangular, and they all have different lids.

169
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: I realize this is maybe not completely necessary, but I

170
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: am telling you now, one of the greatest gifts you

171
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: can give yourself is to just donate all of that

172
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: and invest in one system, invest in one brand that

173
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: you know is gonna nest in stack and I'm not

174
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: talking just the containers themselves, but the lids as well,

175
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: so that it's all the same. And then if you

176
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: need to add to it, you know exactly what brand

177
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna add to. So for me, that is Rubber

178
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: Made Brilliance. I have been singing the praises of this

179
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: product for years. What I love about it is it

180
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: comes in both a really hard plastic and glass, so like,

181
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: for example, sometimes I'll send the plastic containers with my

182
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: kids in their lunch boxes, and glass might be a

183
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: bit heavy, but I love the glass, because if I'm

184
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: going to do any sort of meal prep or put

185
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: leftovers in there, I can just either put it in

186
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: the microwave or the oven straight into the oven. So

187
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: the glass is great, and I have about half and half,

188
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: and they come in different sizes and shapes. But what's

189
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: also good is the plastic and glass also stack cohesively,

190
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: so it's like the set all works together and the

191
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: lids are all the same, so the lids work on

192
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: both of the different materials. Sometimes many times, actually Costco's

193
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: usually got a deal on starter pack. I was just

194
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: at Costco the other day and they had one, and

195
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: I thought, this really is just such a great product.

196
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: So if you're looking to do a refresh or revamp

197
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: on those food storage containers that you use for either

198
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: meal prep or leftovers, I just I can't recommend rubber

199
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: Mate Brilliance enough. They are not the cheapest, right, Like

200
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: you could go get some of those real plasticky like

201
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: Glad or zip lock. You know they make them, but

202
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: those ones aren't gonna last forever, and those ones are

203
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna stain and then they're gonna maintain like the odors,

204
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: so that if you store the curry in there. Whatever's

205
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: going in there next is gonna get a little bit

206
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: of that curry. Invest in something nice. You'll use them forever.

207
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: I've had been for years, ever since I lived in Oregon,

208
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: and that's been oh gosh, coming up on five years now,

209
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: is that? Oh my gosh, that's crazy. So I love them,

210
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: love them, love them, love them. And you can go

211
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: on Instagram and see what my drawer looks like with them.

212
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: I'll stacked and nested together. Okay, moving on from that,

213
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: we'll call this plastic baggy storage or just baggy storage.

214
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: So this was totally prompted by I feel like a

215
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: product went viral last year on Instagram where people started

216
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: posting these bamboo organizers for your different sized baggies. So

217
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: you got your snack bag, your court bag, your freezer bag,

218
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: like all sorts of different baggies, the sandwich bags. And

219
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: it looked a little gimmicky, but I, like probably many

220
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: of you, clicked purchase and I love it. I love

221
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: it so much. I think it's because the other boxes

222
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: that they would come in. First of all, they'd always

223
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: get stuck in the drawer because they were like a

224
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: little too tall. And then occasionally eventually my kids would

225
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: take it and end up like dismantling the box and

226
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: so that it just was a mess. It was a

227
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: mess in the drawer. So I really really like this organizer.

228
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: I have found it easy to use, easy to refill,

229
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: and I'm glad I purchased it this same company. The

230
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: company's space Aid Space Aid you can find them on Amazon.

231
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: But they've also got some different dispensers for wraps like

232
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: foil or wax paper or parchment paper, and I ended

233
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: up purchasing one of those to go with my baggy

234
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: organizer and have been really happy with that. When it

235
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: comes to parchment, I like using a pre cut parchment

236
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of people use the big full sheets,

237
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: and I love those full sheets. I just find them

238
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: hard to store, and so I do. You can get

239
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: them kind of in like the rectangles, but like folded

240
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: in a quadrant, and that's what works best for me,

241
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: and so I keep those in this drawer kind of

242
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: all stacked up. I also keep my chip clips in

243
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: this drawer, and I am convinced I found the greatest

244
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: chip clips in the world. They actually have like they're

245
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: like big office clips. I guess you could say they're

246
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: meant to be chip clips, but they've got like a

247
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: silicone coating on the bottom, so it really creates a

248
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: nice seal, so things do not go stale. So check

249
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: those out. And then finally, there's always a time and

250
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: a place for a disposable bag and a reusable bag

251
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: or baggy, and so for those reusable situations. I really

252
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: like the brand Stasher. I know you've seen these around.

253
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: They're really beautiful. They come in all these different colors,

254
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: and they're great for reusing. You can put them on

255
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: the top shelf of your dishwasher. We use them for

256
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: our church snacks every week. Honestly, if they weren't so expensive,

257
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: because they are a little expensive, i'd send them more

258
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: with my kids, but I don't trust them. I think

259
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose them. So it's when mom's in charge

260
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: of stacks and I'm in charge in charge of the stashers,

261
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm all for it, but I keep those in this

262
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: cabinet as well. All right, onto doing dishes. This is

263
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: let's call this is my sink drawer. This is the

264
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: drawer closest to my sink. And in this drawer I've

265
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: got my geometry house, kitchen towels, the towels that I

266
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: love so much. I use these for everything from drying

267
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: dishes to wiping down my countertops. I just love them.

268
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: I've loved them for a while. And you know what's

269
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: so fun is they are actually the company is owned

270
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: and operated right in my new town. So every time

271
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: I drop my daughter a gymnastics, I drive past their headquarters.

272
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: But I love, love, love love their towels. Before we

273
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: get to drying those dishes, we got to wash them, right.

274
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: So my favorite dishbrushes, our Full Circle, is a brand

275
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: that makes it's actually called a cast iron brush, and

276
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: it's got a gray head and a little bit of

277
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: a stronger bristle, and I like that for my everyday dishes.

278
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: I have not found it to be damaging to dishes,

279
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: and I just like that it has a little bit

280
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: more oomph to it. So I love that dishbrush for

281
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: everyday dishes. I also use a bottle brush when I

282
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: need to get in the corners and crevices of something.

283
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: So I keep those two brushes in this drawer in

284
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: addition to another cast iron brush that came from Lodge

285
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: And this actually came in a cast iron care kit

286
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: that I got that was actually very cool product. But

287
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: when I need to really get in there and clean

288
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: my cast iron, that's that's what I That's what I use,

289
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: as opposed to the full Circle one, although the full

290
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: Circle and one would probably do a great job. In

291
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: this cabinet, I also keep my Force of Nature multipurpose cleaner.

292
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure if you've been following me for a while,

293
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: this is not news to you. This is a product

294
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: I have loved forever. It is essentially electrolized water that's

295
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: as strong as bleach. I know it sounds too good

296
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: to be true. I was skeptical too, but it's amazing.

297
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: I like that it's got a nice, fresh, clean scent,

298
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: smells like a swimming pool like bleach. And I make

299
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: a batch at least once a week, about every six

300
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: to seven days, and this is where I keep both

301
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: the device that you make it in and the little

302
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: capsules of the salt and vinegar solution that goes in there,

303
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: so that stays in this store as well. I also

304
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: have some magic erasers. I have stone countertops that are

305
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: white and they get they get marks really easily, and

306
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: so magic eraser is great for me to just get

307
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: those off quickly and it's not damaging to it. I

308
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: also use those for my backsplash, and then I've got

309
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: a brush in here or a sponge. I guess you

310
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: could say that came with my Careway cookware. And this

311
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: is specifically sent with all of the Careway purchases for

312
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: cleaning the exterior of your cookware. So if you're someone

313
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: who doesn't like the splatters and you know all that,

314
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: and it's still gentle with the enamel color, it's great

315
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: and I keep that in there as well. Okay, under

316
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: the sink, oh man, under the sink can get scary

317
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: real quick, but I love having. The best product I

318
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: have under my sink is a turntable that's extra big

319
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: and extra tall, so that I can keep some bigger

320
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: things in there, whether it be my garbage bags or

321
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: like some Chlorox wipes. Just feels like the things you

322
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: might store under the sink are a little bigger. But

323
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: don't discount a turntable, because we all know that stuff

324
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: can get you know, hidden and stuck in the back

325
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: of your under the zinc situation. I also keep my

326
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: folded up plastic bags in here that I try and

327
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: reuse for other things, and my favorite dish soap, which

328
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: is the Dawn Power Spray, although if I cannot find

329
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: the clear one, I don't love the smell of the

330
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: blue one. There is another brand, what is that called.

331
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: It's yellow and black. I usually get it at Target

332
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: nine something nine. Anyways, I'll look it up and make

333
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: sure it's linked. But they also have a spray dish detergent.

334
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: It's really great. So I just like something about that

335
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: power spray that's really nice in washing dishes. Our favorite

336
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: hand soap is Method. It's that coconut flavor coconut water,

337
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: and I've got a pump that works well with foaming

338
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: hand soap. My kids, I swear they wash their hands

339
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: more when it's foaming hand soap, So that's what we

340
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: use there. My favorite antibacterial hand sanitizer is Noodle and Boo.

341
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: It's a baby company and it smells delicious, smells like babies.

342
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: This was like baby powder or something. It smells so good,

343
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: and so I keep that around my dishwasher pods and

344
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: all those things stored safely underneath the sink. Now, when

345
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: it comes to general cleaning, I tried to not get

346
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: too in the weeds here, but there's two things I

347
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: really I've learned in the past couple of years. First

348
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: of all, I love a stand up broom, a broom

349
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: that can stand up on its own that's not going

350
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: to fall over. I love mine and have had it

351
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: for since I lived in New York City, so a

352
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: long time. I bought it a container store. The brand

353
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: is no longer it no longer exists, so I am

354
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: on the hunt to find a similar stand up room

355
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: to recommend, So stay tuned for that. And then I

356
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: broke up with my Dyson stickback this year. I just

357
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: I know Dyson is an incredible company, and I've had

358
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: a stick back for the I've had one for the

359
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: better part of five to seven years, and it just

360
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: it would work really great for the first couple of months,

361
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: and then it would just slowly start dying on me.

362
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: I'd always buy him at Costco, and Costco's great about

363
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: a return, but at some point I was like, this

364
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: is getting ridiculous. So I actually ended up getting a

365
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: different one, recommended by the wirecutter and a couple of

366
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: friends who had it, and I'm enjoying it so much better.

367
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: So anyways, all of the links to all of these

368
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,879

376
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: we are going to be focusing on those dinners that

377
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: are ideal for dropping off. There was this amazing Instagram

378
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: post that happened I think it was last week where

379
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: I was kind of crowdsourcing ideas, what's the best drop

380
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: off dinner you've ever received and taken? And the ideas

381
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: are so good that we're gonna have a whole podcast

382
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: episode next week all about drop off dinners, and I'm

383
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: excited to get into that. All right, Remember that if

384
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: you are going to do a refresh, think about one

385
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: drawer cabinet at a time. Do not overwhelm yourself, tackle

386
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: your you know, under the sink or your sink drawer

387
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: or your baggy drawer. Don't do it all at once.

388
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: It'll be overwhelming and you'll quit one maybe one drawer

389
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: cabinet a week, and you are going to be loving

390
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: your kitchen in no time. All right, you guys, thank

391
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: you so much for being here. Until next time, I'm Kelsey,

392
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: happy cooking,
