KOSHER Kitchen Tour 2021 | Orthodox Jewish Mom (Jar of Fireflies)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- This video is a tour of my kosher kitchen! As an Orthodox Jew, keeping kosher is an important part of my religious observance and my daily life. In this video we will explore my entire kitchen, peek in all the cabinets, and see how I have things set up and why. I will talk a lot about keeping kosher and how we work out keeping two sets of dishes and organizing our kosher foods in our refrigerator and more.
Hello and welcome! My name is Chana, I’m married to my best friend, and we have three wonderful children together. We also happen to be Orthodox Jews and we homeschool our kids. This video is a sneak peek into our daily lives :) You can see how this particular Jewish homeschool mom sets up her days, rolls with the punches, and gets it all done. Thanks for watching!

This was very interesting. I never knew this about being an orthodox Jewish person. Your kitchen is very organized and I love how you have it set up. UA-cam randomly put your video as a suggestion. I’m glad they did.
Welcome! I’m so glad you found your way here!
Absolutely the same here just randomly popped up in my recommended
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 so glad you are here too! Welcome!
@@jaroffireflies Thank you
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 you’re so welcome 😊
I felt like we had something in common with our Tupperware cabinet. Whenever I have people visit, they often comment and “say oh my goodness how do you keep your kitchen so clean and organized”. Then there is the Tupperware cabinet, when immediately upon opening it something will fall out on top of you. It was nice to see that I am not the only one with the same struggle. 😊
YES! lol Yes that's how it is! Glad I have company there lol
Same here! Everything in our kitchen has its specific place, but in the tupperware cabinet chaos reigns supreme. Every once in a while I try to organize it, but as soon as you take something out, the new 'system' collapses 🤦🏼♀️😅
Tupperware cabinets just seem to be exercises in entropy! I've heard that every sock that goes missing in the drier comes back as a tupper lid.
😂
Tacos ARE everything! 🌮 I grew up in San Diego, so I had the best tacos available. It's so hard to pick a favorite... but it's probably ground beef with Pico de Gallo, wrapped in a warm corn tortilla. I have a new kitchen, too (with a white backslash that is always dirty 🤪) but my favorite thing is LOTS of counter space!
Interesting. I am not Jewish but love learning about different cultures.
Thank you for stopping by! I also love learning about other cultures :) UA-cam is a great place for that!
Same here! Thanks for posting this video 😁
This was a great tour. I've been so curious about how Kosher kitchens were set up, and your tour answered a lot of questions I had. Also, I love that your kitche is "lived in." It's clean, but you've got your junk drawers, cupboards you could clear out, trash in the can, etc. just like the rest of us...i.e. it's real, not pinterest perfect. Thanks for sharing authentically.
You are so welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed this and got some insight on how we live :) thank you for your kind comment!
This was extremely interesting and informational. I myself am not Jewish but I love to learn about others culture and religions
So glad that you are enjoying my videos! Thank you so much for watching and commenting :) I also love learning about other religions and cultures :)
Learning about other cultures is like traveling to new places.
Same here!
I'm not jewish either but she's awesome and lives in texas
I really enjoyed this video. Back in the mid 80s I was a nanny for an Orthodox Jewish family who kept Kosher and this was a nice reminder of that time.
So glad I could bring back some nice memories for you! Thank your watching and commenting :)
Thank you for sharing so much detail about how and why you keep a kosher kitchen. I'm not of your faith, but I like to understand how my home can better support my guests of other faiths.
You are so welcome Kim! You sound like a wonderful and thoughtful person :) Thank you for watching!
People have no idea about being Jewish. You explain things so well and very friendly and open. Educate people about your way of life. Thank you Rebecca x
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words!
This was so interesting. I’m not sure why it was suggested to me on UA-cam but I enjoyed it! I’m an interior designer creating a custom kitchen for a lovely Jewish family so I’m loving the insight! ♥️ thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
You are so welcome! Love that this popped up as you had that project found on! So fun!
I’m Muslim and I loved your video it’s very interesting to learn about others religion and practice… just subscribed 😉
Thank you so much for subscribing Sarah! I am so glad you are here :) Welcome! I also love learning about other religions :)
A year ago I found out my moms mother was born into a Jewish family. Though she converted to Catholicism when she married my mom’s father. I would have loved learning more of the Jewish traditions and beliefs growing up. I did date a Jewish guy in college, his grandmother and mom taught me lots of Yiddish words! And his grandma’s kitchen was a traditional Kosher kitchen. It was huge! I love learning about the Jewish religion, as I feel growing up my mom and her mom missed a great opportunity to teach us about our Jewish roots.
Oh wow amazing story! Thank you for sharing :) Definitely explore your roots! I am honored to be a part of that.
I'm not Jewish or kosher but I found this video fascinating,thanks for sharing your kitchen
Thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad you enjoyed :)
I just found out I have ashkenazi ancestors and I’m so fascinated! Loved watching your video and learning more about being kosher. You have such an easy personality which makes you really pleasant to watch ❤️
Thank you so much!
I’m a Christian but the Hasidic Jewish community is so incredibly interesting to me. You have such a warm, loving presence, I wish the best for you and your family 💕
Thank you! 😊
I am a Christian but I always have had a deep respect of the orthodox jewish religion and I get so excited when I see you post a video because I learn so much from you , please continue to give us more knowledge, thank you for sharing.❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement 💜
The outtakes!!! I am laughing so hard! The plates just shaking...you are so real. The best!
Lol so glad you enjoyed them!!!
You are a breath of fresh air! I found myself googling words like 'parve' - I had no idea what you were talking about. This was wonderful to watch. So good to learn, instead of listening to someone prattle on about "nothing".
LOVED the Bloopers at the end - original you!! Keep them. Subscribed immediately, and I am certain I was not alone!
Thank you so much!!!!! I’m trying to explain words more and include bloopers when I have time 😊 Thank you so much for subscribing! Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here 😊
Thanks for the tour. I love how you mix modern convenience with old culture, such as using a hot water urn to kasher your countertops. It’s a beautiful juxtaposition that illustrates being an Orthodox Jew in modern society.
Thank you so much! 💜💜💜
I’ve started looking closer at our products, and love how many are already kosher. Thank you for sharing! Always a pleasure to learn more about you, and your household.
It’s actually almost impossible to find a single thing in any American kitchen that ISN’T kosher. I challenge you all to go through your cabinets, you will be very surprised to see that 99% of your food is in fact kosher.
I was eager to watch this video and let me tell you I was not disappointed!! I learned a lot of things about Jewish traditions and rules that I didn’t know of and you know I’m here for that 😁
Your kitchen is very pretty, I love the style of it and how well-organized it is, my inner maniac is satisfied 😂
May you and your family have a wonderful end of the week 🥰
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed!
I love how you're so organized and get rid of things often, something that does not come naturally to me 😬. Love the bloopers in the end too😄❤️
Yay I’m so glad you saw the bloopers! I am trying to include them more often 😁
Awesome video! I "tried" to keep a kosher kitchen when I first got married - 35 years ago. I literally made it one month!!! This was very interesting! Love how organized you are!
Thank you so much! That’s great that you gave it a try! It’s hard to take on all at once for sure. I took it on but by bit over time.
Have yet to figure out why Texas homes have such SMALL pantries when their "motto" is "everything's bigger in Texas"! Obviously were NOT thinking about pantries. I've had to convert 2 of my closets into pantry storage!! Sorry, seeing your pantry just brought it to mind! Cool kitchen!! I LOVE the double ovens! And what would we do if we didn't have overflow drawers & cabinets?? Truly a MUST in every household!! Have to admit, I also have them in my room & in the bathrooms...
Lol I think most Americans (Alaska being the exception) have small pantries :) I am in love with my big pantry! No regrets!
My kitchen has zero/no pantry, we also converted two large closets nearby into food etc. pantries.
How wonderful! I'm going thru conversion alone and it's been extremely difficult. Just recently moved near a Jewish area and still looking for a community so your video has already been sooo helpful. I've been getting very discouraged so thank you for doing this. Taking some anxiety away. I can do this, I wanna do this but I need help and reading a ton of books just isn't the same as seeing it in action. Best! 👍☺
You can totally do this! I also went through conversion alone so I totally get it! Did you watch my conversion story videos? They may be helpful for you!
@@jaroffireflies I just came across your video this evening. I've been going thru an official conversion thru rabbinical counsel of america for over 2 years now and been heading towards conversion over 9 yrs but haven't had a community near to get all the tips and tricks and how tos.. I am really hoping to complete this soon. Can't really keep going in circles alone. :) honestly am quite surprised I'm still trying. 😳
@@talialeora hang in there, it’s worth it! You’re welcome to ask me any questions or vent or anything if you need!
Tip to newlyweds. When I married my husband, I also converted to liberal Judaism around the same time. My husband grew up in a kosher home and I wanted to honor his tradition, but I also had no personal interest in keeping a kosher kitchen. We settled on kosher-style, but I also went vegetarian (many years later we went a step farther and became vegan). By eliminating meat from our home, it made everything a ton easier. Eliminating dairy is easier now than it was decades ago because you can buy just about everything non-dairy and kosher these days (plant-based milks, cheeses, sour cream, etc.). It takes a little bit of time to learn to cook vegan, but the food is just as delicious and far more healthy. As Chana said, being vegan and keeping kosher are not the same thing, but it does make it far more easy to cook kosher. Plus, since most Jews live in big cities, and vegan food is relatively easy to find in big cities, there are a ton of vegan, kosher recipes on-line. You don't even need kosher cookbooks anymore!
P.S. Chana, your explanation about glass being kosher in Sephardic kitchens explains a wedding gift we received 37 years ago! My husband's family is Ashkenazi and one of my relatives gave us a set of glass dishes we didn't register for. I always wondered why -- now I know! I like the Sephardic tradition much more -- so much easier. I wish the Ashkenazi would adopt that!
Loved your presentation, and your beautiful kitchen. You are a very gracious hostess. I love learning about Jewish customs, and love the Jewish people💖 I'm a Christian, and have a very dear friend who is Orthodox Jewish and she also keeps a Kosher kitchen. I'm always asking her questions about her faith and customs, now I can discuss more things with her! I subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning more from you!
Thank you so much!
It always fascinating to see how different religions and cultures live. Thank you for letting us into your home. I am a Christian woman and definitely learned some new things today about the Orthodox Jewish way of life.
Thank you 😊
Fantastic video ❤️ Thank you for letting us see your kitchen! And I love veggie tacos with rice and beans, avocado slices and grilled jalapeños 🌮
You are so welcome! Your tacos sound great :) I love veggie tacos also with mushrooms and peppers and avocados and pico 😋
Watching this video right now because I miss you! Enjoy the holidays!
❤️❤️❤️
I am Jewish, orthodox, cover my hair- love your videos. Wishing you and your family and Shana Tova.
Thank you so much! Shana Tova!!!
Love this video. You did such a good job explaining it to us😊❤
I'm so glad!
Thanks for the tour! I love how big and organized your kitchen is. My favorite taco recipe is one my husband makes. He rubs a tuna steak with a little oil then seasons with salt and pepper and Sears it on the outside so still rare on the inside. For the tacos he thinly slices the tuna, adds finely chopped tomato and red onion, shredded lettuce and serves with a sriracha/vegan Mayo sauce. They’re so yum! One of my favorite meals.
Oh my gosh I love seared tuna and I have never thought to put it on a taco! I am totally trying this the next time we make tuna! Thank you!
@@jaroffireflies I hope you enjoy those tacos as much as I do!
@@sandram5664 thank you!!!
for some reason i find kitchens really interesting, i had no idea what keeping kosher even meant before watching a few of your (randomly recommended to me) videos, let alone that it's something you can do with a kitchen. thank you for providing lovely insight!
You are so welcome! I’m so glad this helped you understand!
Hi Chana. I really enjoyed the tour of your kitchen. Thank you for sharing and helping me understand more of your culture and customs. Your kitchen is beautiful and impressively organized. It does make me curious about the challenges the ladies who have small kitchens may have. You're awesome, God bless you.
Thank you Sandy! I’ve lived in much smaller kitchens than this and it somehow always works out :) I’ve stored pots etc in the oven or in the laundry room 😊 We find a way!
I find it very interesting to watch about the culture and religion of jews. And I am a muslim. My roots are from Morocco and we have also Moroccan jews over there. Not a long time ago I said to my husband that sometimes when I see an orthodox jew I want to ask them how they live and other things because I find it very interesting to learn about other cultures, but then I am afraid to ask. But now I can learn from you!
BTW I just subscribed♥️
My husbands family is Moroccan!!! We have strong ties to our Moroccan roots :) It’s so nice to ‘’meet” you! Thank you for subscribing, I’m so happy you’re here! I get very curious about Muslim culture too :) We have a lot in common!
It is always interesting to see how people other than us live. I respect your way of life, although I do not understand it. We have to learn that all of us have to be patient and love one another.
Hello from Pakistan. I belong to a Christian family and I love and respect Jews because they are chosen people that's why I love to watch your videos . You are really amazing lady and your kitchen is also very organised. You are such a sweet mother and definitely 💕loving wife. May God bless you abundantly.
Hello from Texas! Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad you are here :)
Oh wow. Just came across your channel. I LOVE learning about other cultures and lifestyles. Can’t wait to look through your back catalogue.
Welcome Sharon! I’m so glad you’re here!
If you've done any reorganizing or put new stuff in or whatever, I would love to see an updated version of this vid. It's so interesting!
Your skin is flawless! I am SO jealous!
You are so kind thank you!
This is fascinating to me. I'm not Jewish and I don't know how I even stumbled across this video - but I love this! I have serious kitchen envy going on here. And like so many others here, I love learning about different cultures and faiths ❤️
Welcome! Thank you so much for subscribing:) I’m so glad you are here!
New subscriber here. 😀 Found your channel this weekend and have been loving all your videos! My bestie is in the process of orthodox conversion so I really enjoyed hearing your story. My hubby and I are Messianic and have a deep love for Judaism and the Torah. Thank you for sharing so much wonderful content. 💕
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!
I lived with my aunt & uncle in high school. They'd purchased a home in the early 90's in North Dallas (Preston & forest are) as that area has a large Jewish community the home they purchased had once been owned by a Jewish family, so the kitchen being quite large & had once been designed to me a kosher/orthodox kitchen. There were 2 sinks one on either side of the kitchen as to separate dairy & meat prep areas. As my family isn't Jewish & they never got around to redoing the kitchen it just stayed that way. It was a lovely home. Sadly they sold the home & as the neighborhood has since been under revitalization the home has been demolished & a completely different house has gone up. I appreciate culture & love to learn about others culture.
OMG, this is excellent. You have an absolutely perfect well planned, organized, kitchen. Thank you for sharing this with us..
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for you kind words!
I'm not Jewish and I've never lived in a place with a large Jewish community. It was really interesting to see how you keep your kitchen, and I realized you have a lot more practices and customs around food than I thought. Thank you for educating me!
Thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad it’s giving you good insights into Jewish life!
Your plastics cabinet looks normal to me!!!
Thank you for the tour. Your kitchen is beautiful.
Thank you Brenda! 😊
How to get rid of fruit flies! They drive crazy! Take a bowl, fill it half full hot water, add a couple tablespoons of sugar, apple cider vinegar. Regular vinegar won’t do. And a drop of Dawn. Mix together until sugar dissolves. I set on by my trash can, countertop anywhere they ten to congratulate. Works wonderfully. Change every week. You’ll be amazed at how this mixture attracts fruit flies!
Thank you so much for the tour. I’ve found it’s easier to store my Tupperware style containers with the lids on, otherwise it’s chaos. 💜
I agree that’s easier! But I have too many 🤣 I need to purge some lol
Thank you for showing me about kosher kitchen. All your videos is very inspiring.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!
Thank you for sharing this interesting information about your life and religion. It is important to me to become more diverse. Videos like yours help me to become better educated & a better person.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy my videos are helping you to gain insight into Jewish life and culture :) Thank you for watching!
To rid yourself of fruit flies or other small flies, just put some vinegar in a glass with a drop of soap to break the surface tension. In a couple of days most flies will be drowned in the glass. I prefer to use apple cider or wine vinegar, but even distilled vinegar works.
Thanks for the tip!
Great video, great job. I buy kosher cheese or the cheese package has to specify that it made with vegetable rennet for aged cheeses. Love black bean tacos. I shut off my frig and freezer light switches with a piece of sliver duct tape, it’s reusable for several months then loses it stickiness. It nice that scrubby sponges come in different colors, pink, green-yellow and blue are easy to find. I’m thinking of including some meat back in diet, so I love the idea of different patterns and colors for table and cooking ware. Some chefs used use colored coded cutting boards and they not necessarily kosher chefs. I keep a pre-ground pepper for Shabbat, whole peppercorns in grinder for the rest of week. 💞
I realized after that I totally forgot to talk about the lights in the fridge! We also tape ours so the switch doesn’t move and they stay off.
You also can use magnet for fridge lights instead of this tape, it works forever. Shavuah Tov and L’Shana tova umetuka !!!!
I too save my plastic bags for the smaller trash cans, as well as for the kitty poops. However, I have repurposed the box that I got my gallon size vinegar bottles from Sam's Club to hold all of the plastic bags. It lives in my cabinet under the sink in my half bath / laundry room (saving space in my kitchen!) My cloth shopping bags live in the back of my car so I don't forget them!
So smart!
You have done such a lovely job. I love seeing people's kitchens. I enjoy cooking and baking.
Thank you so much 💜
Many years ago I worked as an au pair in Hendon, London England. It was only for a short time. My employer kept a kosher kitchen. No mixing of milk or meat. She supervised me and did most of the cooking herself, but it was a very different experience for me! I was 20.❤️🇨🇦PS. I was thrilled to see the Tupperware cupboard. Looks familiar!
Thank you for sharing your story! Love that! Very cool :)
This was so interesting, thank you sharing a peek into your home and about the how/why you keep Kosher kitchen. Is is always a delight we can connect with each other over "Home" , something we all share in common! Plus, you are so sweet and fun seeming. I will be back to watch more!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed 💜
My best friend in High school was Jewish. I knew nothing about keeping Kosher until I spent a weekend at their house. (Once the sun set on Friday no one left the house until Sundown on Sunday.) I volunteered to help clean up after Shabbat meal and accidentally put the silverware in the wrong spot.
No one was mad, but her mom called mine and explained to her what happened. My mom explained that I was to help and watch and learn.
We spent the following day cleaning the kitchen and dining room under the watchful eyes of the Rabbi. He then took time to answer my questions and explain the why's and wherefore of it all.
Thank you for sharing your story!
@@jaroffireflies You are welcome! I love your channel!
@@BonnieDragonKat 😊😊😊
This was very helpful! We are Sephardi too and kashered our kitchen before Pesach. Love your channel. Shabbat Shalom.
I’m so glad it was helpful! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Shabbat shalom 💜💐
Veggie tacos reign supreme in my opinion! 😂 There's a place local to me that has these portobello mushroom tacos with their house made guacamole, spicy corn, cotija cheese, and some amazing sauces on top. So, so good!
Sounds delicious!!! 🌮
Hi Chana, Thanks for an interesting and worthwhile video. I am very impressed with the cleanliness, organization, and clutter-free setup of your kitchen. I seemingly randomly discovered your channel but have happily subscribed to see more. Please keep those videos coming!
Thank you so much! Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here :)
Just found you. I'm not Jews but found this so enjoyable . You are s lovely lady. Love from Scotland 💜
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad that you are here!
My favorite tacos are tacos rojos. They’re not that well known in the US. Great vegetarian recipe.
Tortillas are drenched in a sauce made of Chile ancho, then fried to make them easy to roll. They’re filled with queso fresco and onion ( i set aside some with just cheese because of my kids) then topped with lettuce, fried potatoes and carrots, sour cream , and salsa. They’re are times when I have to change up ingredients due to kids
That sounds absolutely scrumptious! Thank you for sharing!
This is what I’m talking aboutttt, I came here for the taco opinions ✨ sounds so good
thank you youtube for suggesting this!
😊😊😊
Your kitchen is so immaculate and organized!
Thank you!!! 😊 I am such a tidy person naturally, so its definitely reflected in my kitchen :)
I would be so scared that I would forget and mix up the meat and dairy dishes because I'm so scatter brained !
Your kitchen is so beautiful and organized !
You’re so kind thank you :) I’m super scatterbrained sometimes too and we definitely make mistakes, but luckily it’s a pretty simple fix most of the time :)
I love seeing a sfardi kitchen in action. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you o much for watching! I’m so glad you enjoyed!
I'm a Hindu. I just started watching these serioes of videos.
I must say I'm very much intrigued to learn more about Jewish culture. ✡
I have learnt a thing or two today and I am happy 😊
Welcome! I’m so happy that you are here!
Hello Chana, one more casual question. What are your views/opinions about Hinduism?
@Chana would you reply?!
Thank you for the explanation!! My friends always kept 2 of everything… 2 separate sets of counters, cabinets..etc. 2 refrigerators, etc. It was always so intimidating to me, and I was afraid to ask the rules! You are a wonderful corner of the internet!
I’m so glad this gave you clarity!!! ❤️
I love when you say “okay”! Idk why but it comforts me! I babysat for an orthodox family in Minnesota. The things you must do and know are significant. Their kitchen had the two complete sets of dishes. I miss those days…I am a reform Jew, but I go to the mikveh. A strange thing to end on!
I love that!!! It’s a fabulous mitzvah to connect to ❤️
Some of the concepts are so similar to the culture i follow here in India...we always use a heating pad or stand to keep hot things nothing directly on d counter...we have separate pans for veg n non veg ...n even separate chopper n graters for onion ginger etc n separate for dairy n dry fruits...n yes no curd with milk or fish with dairy...and we tie our hair when in d kitchen...it's fun to learn cultures
That’s so fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
Your kitchen is beautiful, cozy & warm you did a great job designing it 😊. Just discovered your channel UA-cam suggested this video. As a Christian, Orthodox Jewish life has always been mysterious & interesting to me, I've been curious about the lives of the people I see walking to their Synagogue on Saturdays. I'm glad I found your channel to learn more about what Orthodox life is like. By the way I agree Tacos are everything! I make a taco lasagna with tortillas layered in a casserole dish -yum!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you’re able to get the insight into Orthodox Jewish life here :) please let me know if you have any questions!
Dawn dish soap and vinegar (especially apple cider, it’s probably more aromatic). It attracts the fruit flies and then they get stuck in the soap.
Thank you!!! I’ll try that!
Very cool video. I somehow thought that a kosher kitchen has to have two of everything, and it seemed extremely hard to maintain. But here I see that you go for practicality and comfort and doing the best of what you’ve got, but still respecting and following your religious tradition. You are very good at explaining and it’s truly fun to watch.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your lovely comment :)
This was fun to see! My family is Jewish but we’ve never practiced and I’m trying to start so I’m trying to just eat Kosher but it’s hard 😂
Oh wow that’s awesome! Take baby steps :) When I started I started by taking out certain foods slowly by slowly. It’s totally worth itB you’ll get there!
Thank you for the tour😊
My pleasure 😊
I'd love to hear your thoughts on being Orthodox and having family with diabetes. I've heard some really mean opinions before. You are thorough and kind I bet you'd shut down the haters right away
People do say ridiculous things like we should be vegan and it would cure him (false!). But my son has type 1 diabetes which is autoimmune and it’s cause can’t be helped. So anyone who would say something mean about my child’s diabetes is just ignorant and not worth my time :)
@@jaroffireflies A plant based diet will not take care of Type I Diabetes. Only type II. Anyone can get Type I Diabetes no matter what kind of diet they eat. I am plant based and my husband and son eat meat and dairy and are kosher. With my plant based diet, I find it works for me. It is not for everyone. I have a few things I use for Pesach only and keep them separate from everything else. It keeps them out of the way since I only use them for Pesach.
@@kathiemott3988 hi Kathie! Yes, a plant based or any other kind of diet would not cure my son’s type one diabetes. That’s what I was trying to say. My statement above was I. Reference to something I had been told that wasn’t true.
Thank you for sharing that aspect about the dishes for dairy and fish being able to be washed in a Sephardic tradition like that, that’s very interesting, I’ve never known that before, I’ve only known of having completely separate sets. It’s good to know that there are variations on that.
Yes! It only works for us because we are Sephardi and because it’s glass. I’m so glad we can though because we only need the one set :)
If I had to have a Kosher kitchen it would be really difficult. I don't have a lot of cabinets, and my fridge is really small. I do have a special area for my shredded cheese, and butter, it just makes it easier to grab when I need it. I like shredded cheese for quesadillas or nacho cheesy chips. I use paper plates so there's less dishes (I do not have a dish washer).
It is definitely more difficult in a smaller space! But it can be done :)
Suggestion: Put your plastic lids in a box or bin to fit and store next to the plastic. Toss out the ones you really don't need/use. They just take up space and make clutter.
Great idea!
I love your kitchen layout. You’re super organised! Thank you for the tour. I found it really interesting. You have such a great personality ❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words :)
@@jaroffireflies I’m a new subscriber and I came across your VLOGS. I’ll be watching on a regular basis. Thank you once again ❤️❤️
@@leighjones6514 Aw thank you! And welcome! i am so glad you're here!
Just found your channel. I love watching and learning about how others live their faith. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank you! I am so glad that you are here!
Love your well organized kitchen, no clutter. Interesting to know what a kosher kitchen is.
Thank you! So glad you found this interesting:)
I’m not Jewish, but your backslash is very similar to mine except mine has a mosaic that’s black that goes through the middle of the backsplash. I love it! So open and airy! I love it!
That sounds so pretty!
@@jaroffireflies I wish there was a way to post pictures on here. It’s not completely done yet, but it’ll look beautiful when it’s done!
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us I’m super fascinated ! 💜🥰
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for sharing this and for explaining things so a non-jewish person like me can understand. It's so interesting! So glad to know that everyone has that Tupperware drawer/cabinet that never stays clean haha. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
You are so welcome!!! 😊💜
Great video! I had no idea Sephardi was much simpler! I have the ashkenazi set up and struggle with where to put what as our cabinets are only so big. Love your organization! Would love to see the salads vídeo you mentioned. ❤️
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed :) I was following ashkenazi customs before I got married, so I get it! It was great to purge stuff after we got married :)
Thanks for that video.I got a lot of info.
Can't wait the Moroccan salads video 🥰
You are so welcome! Salad video hopefully coming soon!
This was super interesting! I’ve always been interested in the Jewish religion/culture. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for watching! I am so glad you found it interesting!
I am not Jewish, but I do enjoy watching your videos. You seem like a very nice person .
Thank you so much :)
Hi from England chana i found this video so interesting being a non Jew it was interesting to hear what you have and have to do to keep kosher , thanks so much for this video. In answer to your question what do you love about your kitchen? I love my baking cupboard with everything from cupcakes cases to de orating stuff. 😀
Thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad you like it :) Your baking cupboard sounds divine!
Oh you are killing me with the mere mention of Baba Ganoush.
So delicious😌
Right?!? We will be sharing our babaganoush recipe next time my husband makes a guest cooking appearance here :)
Hooray!
I look forward to what must be a perfect recipe!
@@charlesperez9976 it’s really good :)
Love it! I have been de prioritizing parve and dairy items because it isn’t what I usually eat. The community I just left preferred meat and meat designated desserts. I also can and have a pressure canner for meat, parve and dairy. I thought I would only need one but if I had veggies canned, I couldn’t use them for a dairy meal. I found a couple dairy canning recipes that I’m interested in trying and am going to give it a go. I have an extra fridge and freezer. The fridge wasn’t for kosher reasons. The rental I just left didn’t have one. The landlord didn’t want to buy mine when I left but I was under the impression she was hoping I didn’t take it, lol. The freezer is a huge help. I buy from kosher coops and sometimes to get a good price I order in bulk.
I pressure can too!!!!! I feel like we are best friends now LOL I only have one pressure canner though :)
@@jaroffireflies lol, me, too! Yeah, I only had one at first for meat but everything else couldn’t be mixed. I couldn’t make that work any other way. Nothing like opening jars and having hot stew in minutes!
@@mcomeslast exactly! I love serving chili I made last year 🤣🤣🤣
I cannot get over how your channel is growing by the day. Good for you. Loved your kitchen tour
Me too!! Thank you so much :) You are so sweet to notice!
A great explanation of keeping a kosher kitchen! I am on the struggle bus with the Tupperware as well!:)
So glad this gave you understanding of our kitchen! And thanks for letting me know I am not the only one with a Tupperware problem LOL
Hahhahaha! Awesome…. Thank you for the help. Looking at you makes me feel I’m not that lost…. Hahahah!
So glad it was helpful!
I would love a video on the salads!!! Sounds yummy!
Hopefully coming soon! He keeps making them late at night when I’m sleeping lol
Late to the comments game but this was fun! For the tupperware drawer, you might try storing things with the lids on (making sure plastic is all dry first otherwise it can smell funny). It takes up more room, but it is SO easy to store and find; when I did this I also realized I didn't need as many food storage containers as I thought I did, because I could actually FIND the ones I wanted, lol :)
Thanks so much for the Tupperware idea!
Keep those videos coming to learn more about your culture.
I will! 😊💜
My Tupperware drawer is the hardest to keep tidy! I have to stop storing yogurt containers. I need to just recycle them.
My favourite thing in my kitchen is my display of my mother’s Dutch ornaments on the windowsill. Thanks for the tour!
Oh the Dutch ornaments sound so lovely! What a nice thing to have :)
Girl. Same. The yogurt container madness has to stop in my kitchen. BUUUT my parents just shared a nice re-use of them that I'm trying out now. They come in perfect sizes for starting seeds and potting up. I got into gardening in the pandemic so this was perfect!
