    I love the fact it is Fall time because freezing chili or soup is an OK. Made your apple cider doughnuts over the weekend. Very yummy!!! I talk about you all the time in my vlogs. Most recently I mentioned how I didn't have a doughnut pan. So I made doughnut holes instead with my cake pop maker LOL You made those look so yummy I had to have them one way or another. Great ideas on meal planning def love you!!!

    Wonderful video! And, great idea about the pantry shop once a month - I keep running out of flour, brown sugar etc so I'm going to start doing it that way, GREAT tips.

    Laura please do a kitchen drawers, fridge, pantry organization video. Thanks!

    this is exactly what I ate to loose weight. The only difference is that I hardly ate sugar, only one small piece of dessert once a week and increased my cardio workouts to 1 1/2 hours a day.

    @happybutterfly55 11 років тому +1

    Laura I would love if you could do a weekly menu with a shopping list of ingredients. Also a grocery list with monthly pantry items. I would totally love it!!! Thank you for everything you do for all of us :)

    @reneeruark230 11 років тому

    Hi Laura! You have helped me get excited about cooking again. For a while, I was bored and found it difficult since its only myself and my teen daughter. Now, I am starting to like it again and I am just wanting to experiment all over the place. Thank you for this video because I really needed some hands on practical ideas for meal planning because of my work schedule. This was a huge help.

  • @thevitales
    @thevitales  11 років тому +1

    I do it a little at a time. I am someone who really enjoys being in the kitchen and I usually start really early (or even the night before) and pretty much cook all day and clean as I go so I'm not left with a huge pile of dirty dishes :)

  • @boulsuk7

  • @thevitales
    @thevitales  11 років тому +1

    smart idea!! I often buy several packages of chicken because that's usually on sale for the best price so I take advantage of it when I can.

    great tips! as a student, I do not have that much time during the week to cook, but just like you, I do not like grabbing fast food or the like when I really have no time. your tips will come in handy the next semester!

    It made a lot of sense, I have three children under the age of 6 and this system works. I've been using it since before I had kids and it just keeps everything on tract and I avoid overspending whenever I go to the store. Awesome video, thanks!

    I love how organised you are! I'm 21, a student living with my parents (you don't move out in Sri Lanka until you get married) but I hope I can be like you. We have quite a lot in common with regard to organizing and your daily vlogs inspire me to make an effort to keep things in order and clean. When I see the way you live, I see what I would like for me in the future. You and Joe are an amazing couple. I love how you both help each other and make each other happy all the time. Thank you :)

    How do you freeze your bread? Do you wrap it in foil then place it in a freezer bag? I love the tip you gave about doing one big shop a month for non-perishables. I'm going to try that next month!

  • @itzalljustBS
    @itzalljustBS 11 років тому

    That's a real good idea about doing the one big shop a month with the can goods & then the fruits, veggies, meats, cheese, & other perishables once a week. I always find myself overspending on groceries & applying your method of shopping would probably help me with this. Thanks, Laura!

    @sashaaimey 11 років тому

    You are making sense lol! I like colour in anything I'm planning as well. Your meal plan is so easy to follow. I thought it would've been more complicated, because you make so many diff things on the show, but I think anyone can manage this, esp busy mums because you ease yourself by making big meals to last throughout the week. Thanks for sharing!!

  • @TeamHernandezXO

    (I couldn't have come across this video at a better time! Thank you Laura!!)
    Before "Vitale Style" or "The Vitales" channels I used to think it was totally ok to have pasta for lunch everyday because I would watch those mouth watering recipes but I can see why you have gorgeous glowing skin & am ****Truly Grateful**** that you take the time to share it with the world. Portion control, balance meals & drinking tea... I think I'll try to apply that more consciously:)

  • @KelyrinYourSafeSpace
    @KelyrinYourSafeSpace 11 років тому

    Awww thank you Laura ! I loved this video ! My main problem in the kitchen is fresh food. There can be things that you have not planned during the week, your parents inviting you to eat diner, your friends asking you to come for lunch... If I plan every single meal in a week, how do I do if some of these things happen ? How do I deal with the fresh salad, fresh tomatoes and cucumber waiting in the fridge ? Because I can't just freeze salad.. Or should I plan differently? Thank you !

  • @hanany88
    @hanany88 11 років тому

    Thanks for the video Laura. Been waiting for it forever! It was great, could you talk about how long or when do you cook dinner throu out the day? Maybe vlog a day of you cleaning ,cooking,etc i find it so helpful to learn from you I'm newly wed and always have trouble figure g things out but I do learn a lot from you. Thanks so much your the best laura.god bless

  • @sassaliasmith
    @sassaliasmith 11 років тому

    Excellent video! You made a lot of sense and were not rambling. Would you do a pantry video and tips on organization? Besides freezer bags, what type of containers do you use to store items in the freezer? You look gorgeous (as always)!!!

  • @acb10d1
    @acb10d1 11 років тому

    can you do a freezer video and or tour? you always mention that you freeze a lot of things to have on hand but I would love a detailed video of that. also do you thaw soup in advance or do you put the frozen soup in the pan to melt? I'm trying to be better about freezer stocking but I need your help. Thanks Laura!

  • @DraMaWms
    @DraMaWms 11 років тому

    Your advice on grocery shopping was awesome! Why didn't I think of that before. I HATE grocery shopping but it's much easier if I'm not buying toiletries and food at the same time. I will implement all of your recommendation this week. My eating habits and lifestyle just changed for the better. They will never again be a need to run and pick up fast food because I'm starving.

    @ExstacyQueen 11 років тому

    I plan out my meals for about 3 days at a time since 7 days was too much for me. I had the same issues because there were unexpected days of eating out or I didn't have enough time to make what I planned. Most vegetables can last for a few days to a week in the fridge if you store them correctly.

    Hi Laura, thanks so much for this video, so many great tips in haven't thought of before! I do have a big problem that I usually face when I make weekly menus. My mood for what to eat is always changing! Lol, I might write out an amazing menu but the next day ill be in the mood for say ribeye steak instead of the salmon dish from my menu. And the thing is I don't have any steak on hand. Has this ever happened to you? Do you just go out and buy what you need or stick with your menu?

    She said below that she got it at Target! I checked but they don't have cute ones-just plain old dry erase boards with the days on them. I ordered one almost exactly like the one she has here on Amazon for $11.00. It's the same style but in blue! Can't wait to begin planning my week.
