AMY HONEY PLEASE READ & DO THIS ASAP. Honey you are over watering that Christmas Cactus. DO NOT WATER IT BUT ONCE LIGHTLY EVERY 3 -4 WEEKS. Also buy potting mixture for cactus repot to larger pot needs direct sunlight.. they do need a special blend of potting soil. Must be for cactus or succulents. It is so hard for me to remember this too, that these are dessert plants they go months in the wild without rain. GOD BLESS from West Central Indiana Farmland
Near & dear to your heart!😂❤ I totally get it!
I only keep a few dish towels in kitchen. What do you use washcloths for?
@carolynoquinn4573 everything..wiping down counters
Good evening Amy I have missed talking to you ✨🙏✨ I'm so happy that you are getting better at your stores and sending beautiful videos 💖🤗
Since the plant is rotting, I wouldn't recommend direct sunlight first. Esp. on FL where it can be very hot and burn the plant. My succulents do best in filtered sunlight on CA. I would not put them in full sun and run the risk of shocking it.
Glad you're home safely and all is well.
Red would be a great pop of color with turquoise!
Dont use orange red use blue red.
Don't water the christmas cactus that often it will cause it to rot, I usually water mine 2-3 weeks , it could also benefit from a bigger pot
We have 4 people, I average about 300-400 per 2 weeks. I think your budget is a reasonable amount. We don't include dining out, vacation expenses and all that. But I love seeing a real budget, especially when you can probably afford more, but you remain humble and down to earth. My kids are getting older so I feel like you explained the walking in life change very well. You are an inspiration for me as a mom to a single & twin teenagers!
Winn dixie is a pretty good store❤ lived in fl for 5 years
I would invest in a food vacuum saver. You can use it for everything. Meats, veggies, fruits etc.
That ground chicken makes up great chicken sandwiches! Just form it into a patty and coat it in breadcrumbs!
Thank you
You have sooo much storage! I’m jealous!
I have my kitchen towels in a basket on the top of my fridge. It works well :) Still looks tidy and is accessible. 😊
That is something I would do...thank you
Amy, Please take the extra time to mark the bags/containers you put in the freezer.
I have been terrible with plants my whole life. I killed a cactus that takes work. Hahaha. Two years ago this month my mother passed away and I took her house plants. One is a Christmas cactus. The fact that these plants are still alive is a shock and a miracle. Don’t ask me how I’ve don’t it but my mom would be proud. If I can keep these plants alive I know you can too
Pull out shelves would be great in that lower cabinet. That way you have full use of the space.
Get cover for your mixer that blends with the kitchen. That way you can have it on top of the baking cart.
Amy you did such an awesome job I have watched this video four times just learning different little techniques cuz I love to set up my stuff and keep it organized but it's always room for learning and thank you for giving me some ideas
Put your blender on top just have a rainbow kitchen
I saw a video where someone used handheld beaters (you know, the ones you mix up brownies or cake mix with) to mix their sweet potatoes. The magic of it was that all the strings get stuck to the beaters themselves. So you clean them off periodically and they get removed from your sweet potatoes! I have never tried this myself; I don't own one of those anymore. But if anyone else has tried it, please let me know! 😀😄
My husband made out drawers like the ones you have in the pantry by the fridge, for all my bottom cabinets so the I can store and put things easier
That's a great idea...i may have Greg do this too eventually
Everything looks so delicious. I love sweet potatoes! ♥️
Repot into a pot at least 2 or 3 times the size it's currently in. That's a Schlumbergera or commonly called "christmas cactus or Thanksgiving cactus"
the soil needs to be light not real dense. Only water when the soil is dry, like stick your finger in the soil if your finger comes out clean it's dry, if the soil clings to your finger don't water yet. Don't let the pot sit in water It likes indirect light, but does need some. First and foremost repot. Good luck 😊
Aldi has sausage in one pound rolls for $2.29 in the refrigerated area by the bacon in our store. Much cheaper than WalMart or Sam’s here.
I can't keep fresh vegetables and fruits in the fridge because my four kids will eat raw vegetables first before they eat the fresh fruit for a snack. When my kids were little we would give them fresh fruit and vegetables with french onion dip for a snack. I can put out a bowl of raw vegetables and fruits and a bowl of sweet treats my kids will go for the fresh fruit and vegetables before they go for sweet treats.
Absolutely loved this prep day with you , gave me great ideas!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Enjoyed this video!
You can use linguine noodles for lo mein
The closet where your popcorn machine is could be your appliance closet- one place to put your bread maker, slow cooker, etc. Or that could be your pantry and the small closet where your canned items are could be your appliance closet
The plant needs a deeper pot and less watering then it should be OK. Brown leaves can be a sign of root rot due to over watering
Thank you am a a.y and I can always use plant advice I would have thought that meant it needed water thank you
I put damp rid in my cabinets became our humidity is do dang high.
I would build all shelves in the big pantry and put all cans and big items in there..and ise use ur little pantry for snacks and storage of the kitchen gadgets
I have same problem in kitchen, I'm waiting to see what you do😂😂!
You can use your broom closet for appliance storage and keep the snacks in the one area where you wanted to.
Love your video
Amy this was a great video today! I love 💕 the video’s when you cook and do meal prep!! So Amy!!! Thank you!!!
Hi neighbor. I work in Sarasota and live in Port Charlotte
Hello to you
Amy I think you should put a slide out shelf at the bottom of your pantry above the dogfood etc. You could move some foodstuffs down and put your towels on a higher shelf so you don’t have to bend down every time you need one
Hi Amy. I was born and raised in Florida and lived there for many of my adult years and no matter how clean we kept our house growing up and I was very OCD in my years living there we would see bugs on our counters it would drive me crazy I would put everything in containers because of the bugs. I haven’t lived in Florida for over 21 years now but I hope that the bug problem has gotten better. I love your videos
I appreciate this advice...we haven't really seen many bugs which is good...just the lizards 😄 I'm hopeful..the mountains we had so many more..so in comparison this is much better. But it has only been 9 months .
Winn Dixie was recently bought out by Aldi. My local Winn Dixie switching to an Aldi but I hear some will stay "Winn Dixie like" good place I find to get big things of spices at a great price honestly is Ollie's. Sometit will be different things... but hey, it's a bargain store so you are familiar with how they work. So if you see an Ollie's you may be interested in stopping. Also they seem to always have wonderful books including bibles and beautiful inspirational books
Yes i do know this...I may go to one this month for supplies..thanks for the reminder
Date and mark your bag asto contents.
Love your videos. Sorry if you know this already but with the white tendons in the chicken breast, if you can grab hold of the top tightly (I usually use my nails)slide a fork prong immediately under where you’re holding and pull the fork down, the tendon I’ll tend to comeout with very little chicken meat attached. I hope this makes sense.
Thank you. I did forget
Over watering it. I would replant it.
This has been so great and inspiring! Your cabinets look lovely. Goals!
My daughter and I share a two bedroom apartment. We've learned to prioritize what we use the most, stays close to the kitchen. What we use occasionally goes in a storage room.
I use a basket on my kitchen counter,and roll my kitchen towels . They stack standing up all color matched packed in the basket
Can goods should be closest to the kitchen. Use the upper cabinets above the microwave in the hall for chips bags and cracker boxes snacks. Yes, put out on counter snacks you want them to eat. Extra paper goods plates, napkins, foil, wrap, parchment paper, extra cups below microwave. Extra equipment in closet with the popcorn machine.
Love this thank you
The counter that has your coffee pot, put baskets under coffee pot to put your towels in
That is a great idea...hmm i may do this. Thank you
Brown leaves are the consequence of over watering 😥😥😥😘😘🙏🏻
lol Poultry seasoning and chicken bouillon are not remotely the same. Poultry seasoning is usually sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, nutmeg and pepper. But if it works it works. 🙂
I saw on some of your storage containers the name of things! I found a way to remove the permanent marker. Just go over the writing with a dry erase marker and it will wipe right off. I do this on my small container bowls to.
Make a shelf in that hallway closet that can hold all the things you need to put in there . make it all around that wall
You were quite busy today Amy, love that you did it with a smile! You made me smile as well. God bless.
Have a blessed day
You could put a label on the edge of the shelf. That way your kids would know where everything goes and could help put it away and keep it organized.
Yes i might do this
I buy that mix for my pork chops and chicken. We love it ! To be honest I think it’s cheaper to buy it than make it from scratch using breadcrumbs and a lot of spices. Plus it’s easy and delicious! If your family ever eats boneless pork chops please try it in that shack and bake (Walmart brand) so good! See you tomorrow!
Your home is looking lovely! We’ll be moving soon so I’ll be trying to figure out a new system for everything and getting all organized.. fun but daunting!
My Christmas Cactus is like yours too 😂 I am about to give up on them . I have 3 pots
Lol i touched it the other day and it just broke off again lol 😆
CARAWAY SEEDS are a legit substitute for FENNEL SEEDS per Google. I like your white rolling Baking Cart and the new unit for the Microwave and Air Fryer sounds like a great idea.😊😊
A fajita marinade that we use is zesty Italian -do not get the low fat or fat free because it cooks different -and you can get a whole package of chicken and a large bottle of zesty and put it in there and put it in a Ziploc bag let it marinate overnight, and it’s awesome. And if you have leftover chicken from that, you can also put that with Alfredo noodles or quesadillas.
Doctor said dogs can eat liver cooked, apple, green beans, white rice no seasoning 😊
Panco will work great but I think the mix is basically crushed corn flakes. It works on pork chops also
You can make Asian lettuce wraps with ground chicken. Super easy and delicious.
❤❤
Good morning ❤. The top looks so cute.
I asked my hubby if fennel was in breakfast sausage..he said fennel is the star ingredient in good sausage..lol
I'll have to get some. It was good without but i am sure better with
Amy you could always use those chicken scraps and boil it to make chicken broth and use it when you make your cream.of chicken soup. Love watching you from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦
Your Christmas cactus only needs a little bit of water. Except when it's blooming then you can water it a little bit more
Like everybody else said don't water it so often. Also use filtered water. The chlorine in tap water will kill it also.
Winn-Dixie is a great place to find a variety of items and the prices are really good….a very big store🤗! Too much water on your Christmas cactus😵💫!
We grow our Christmas cactus outside in out door area in Australia .As others have said your being too attentive to it .
Less water 😁
I love how u do what works for your family. I use mason jars for all my storage. For all the dry goods like pasta, crackers, beans, coffee etc. I dry can in the oven. Last forever. Some up to 4 years. I just opened some cheerios that I canned 3 and half years ago. Taste like a new box. It works for me. U do u.😊
How do you dry can in the oven?
amy take and mark w/asharpie the date on the cans and jars of foods and rotate them in the rows however u want to do itf newer to oldest
Just found a great recipe for ground chicken to make chicken nuggets. Ground chicken almond flour grated cheese basil chives parsley garlic power salt and pepper form into a ball coat in pork rinds and saute. Heavenly
Thank you. Saving
Just an FYI the buttermilk powder is wonderful. However once opened it has to be refrigerated. Didn't want you to make the mistake I did.
You could also put the chicken fatty parts in breakfast sausage. The fat part would cook off . Or use it to make your own chicken stock. Even make chili with it. Fat would cook off.
Your cupboards look very well organized Amy. I like that you’re still learning the flow of the kitchen and what works best for you.
Put the flour in the freezer so bugs want get to it before you use it . Google on how to store it . safely
As a little trick as far as the cactus just put two ice cubes in it once every two and a half three weeks
Amy I live in the north, but try to put your plant were it will get morning light. Also were it doesn't have the heat or cool air plowing on it. Also less watering, bigger pot. Also if your soil doesn't have fertilizer in it, you might want to get miracle grow sticks and put one in soil. Mine has been doing good, till a cat laid on it and broke a lot off. Some I saved, but now my plant isn't too pretty right now. LOL
Just fry the chicken in a pan on the gril works great and the mess is out there not in your home 😘😘😘😘😉😉😉😉😉
Wow! You accomplished so much in one day! I wish I had half of your energy. Love the longer videos. Nice work.
Have a wonderful day
Keep in mind if you use to much lime juice it will start to cook your chicken. It can give it a weird texture.
💜💜💜💜💜
Good morning Amy I absolutely love that shirt you have on.. I remember my days if I liked a shirt I would buy it in every color lol.. I'm 45 and nowadays you can't afford to do that...I liked the blue one u were looking at to..God bless you.. I love waking up every morning and watching your videos you're my favorite UA-camr❤😊
I appreciate your kind words
I'm excited for this video🎉 good morning Amy!❤
Oh my Lord Amy you have hit the jackpot today I am constantly telling my husband if I just did not have to cook I could get so much done in my day I could get so much done it's the first thing you would think of when you wake up what am I making for dinner tonight what am I doing for this🎉😂
@chrishingson3064 have a blessed day
I haven't seen a winn Dixie in forever. That was my 2nd job as a young girl :-)
you cannot water the cactus once a week. That's too much! It's water logged right now. Just seeing you watering in the sink was ARRGGGHHH! You can repot it to a larger pot ( not much larger) and use cactus mix, which drains better. And then put it outside where it's a filtered sunlight. Not direct sun. Because it will burn. This will help a lot. But you need to get it out of the water- logged soil or it will continue to deteriorate. Or you can send it to me and I'll rehab it! LOL! Just get it dried out and water it lightly. Some people have christmas cactus that are YEARS old! Mine are not that old, but under the right conditions they will be long lasting and grow big!
We grow cactus in California. I do once a month especially with aloe. I totally agree
She is going to learn. Glad we got her back!! California and Florida are very similar with a ton of things, I hope she sees my posts and will utilize some of it. I think it's awesome to learn new environments especially when you move in a new state which can be alot
Thank you Amy for the shout out of my Fried Chicken, I want you to see if you can find some butter-flavored Crisco, in Florida, is Crisco shortening but it has butter in it. so it's a yellow canister called butter-flavored crisco❤😊😊
Okay I did make some...showing in a few days....i just used vege oil...crisco is way better ?
Amy you just changed my life with grinding up the chicken breasts in the food processor. I NEVER THOUGHT OF DOING THAT! My son’s main food group is chicken nuggets so I’ve been trying to make my own with ground chicken, but grinding it myself will save me $2/lb! Girlllllllllllllll❤❤❤❤
Yes ..thank..Kimberly Wad ..that was who I saw do it first
you need to stop watering that plant, that is the issue...also you need to have a little space in the garage to set up a shelving system to put all of your overflow of can goods on..this will free up space in your house...I live with small storage areas in my home as well..I bought a shelving unit and put all my overflow can or jar items on it and once the few I keep in the house go down I go and pull from there..this also helps with inventory of what I have on hand when time to shop
Our garage gets very hot so i don't want to store out there
@@amymaryon My garage gets too hot in the summer and cold/damp in the winter, so I can't store food in it as well. My friend that lives about 2 miles from me, has her garage fully insulated. Her garage doesn't get hot or cold and damp like ours, so she does store food in hers. I use the closet/storage area under the stairs to store some foods and extra dog food.
Tou definitely need a pantry.😊
Amy,I store my extra pasta & dry beans in the freezer
Great video, Amy. Can I make a suggestion? This make take some time to plan out and execute (Greg), but would you consider taking down the upper cabinets in the pantry area and install basic, functional shelving? I know when I did that in two areas in my storage area, I ended up with so much more room that I can use however I want or need. I'd also consider having nothing but open shelves in the closet. Good luck with whatever you do. This video was a lot of work for you. Thank you.
We have discussed this...someone else pointed out that since it is a butler's pantry we would lose a lot of value in the home ..so we will see. That was my first initial thought when we moved here..we may
Great video!
I have a hard time prepping raw chk but it has to be done. It sure will help in the days following.
Thanks for sharing
Same…
Amy long time no comment, lol. I know with the sausage letting it sit and marinate is important but you need to take a small spoon of the mixture and fry it to see about the flavors. Get the kiddos to test also. Blessings y'all!
Thank you for sharing 😊 we did like it and i will be excited to make it again
Can you get a clear drawer for under the crock pot to stick your towels in?
I may do this.
Amy I would have cooked a small sausage patty first before freezing to make sure it tasted ok. You might have needed to adjust it and let some of kids taste also. They may not like that either and then you've wasted that money.😢
I watched a show the kitchen and they had a hint for no cry onions put a wet paper towel on the counter and you won't have any tears
Why not Baskets where the baking tools are and the tools go in the drawers
Put plant in sun leave it alone ! Maybe little water once a month
Hi Amy, lots of advice 😊 well dont know how close or far it is , but i do believe there is a sharp shopper in Florida..just for a day out trip to stock up ... they are big here in Pa. And Va. ..might want to see if any are around your area ..prayers and love to you and yours ..love the channel 😊ps the pioneer woman salsa is a great recipe
Thank you. I saw a smart shopper and it is not too far...we have plans to go. I'll look up the other one. Thank you
Amy, just watching your video, your cactus is dying. You are giving it too much water. It’s rotting away.
Only water well once a week. Let it dry between waterings.
Now until April full sun. Then after that just a west or north facing window.
Full sun from October to April. Have fun!
Your doorbell came across so loud that I thought it was mine and jumped up to go to the door when I heard you say that fedex was at your door, lol.
