- (slowly crawls out from the depths of my hiatus)
i can't believe i am posting my first video of the year in February T^T
this is a video I've wanted to make for AGES and it was so daunting to start editing because i wanted it to be perfect! perfectionism + creative block + seasonal depression...let's just say that it was the perfect recipe for an unexpected hiatus. BUT my spark for creating is finally back and i'm excited to share more with you all very soon!
also, thank you so much for 500K!!! i never got to officially acknowledge this insane milestone, but i am beyond grateful :") i wonder quite often how i got so lucky with my (not so little) corner of the internet. thank you thank you thank you xx
until next time,
deborah ♡

As someone whose also trying to adult a little tip for the fridge: don't let social media fool you! Organize your fridge how YOU see it! For example, I ALWAYS need to keep track of my fresh produce, SO I put condiments, etc. in those "produce" boxes in the bottom and put my produce in the sides/bottom shelves of my fridge. Helps keep everything within "eye-sight!" Thus less food waste (hopefully---that's the goal)
I like to do that too! Those drawers are meant to keep produce fresh though (they have humidity controls) so I will put things that could bad quickly in there and then I have a dry-erase board on my fridge where I write what perishables I have and when I put them in the fridge :)
I agree! I organize my fridge by “meal” and “ingredients” - meal prep goes all the way at the bottom/in the back bc I know I’ll remember it and look for it. Ingredients that get grouped by meals can go together too (like bread, eggs, and cheese, or yogurt, granola, and nuts), produce in the middle/top so I don’t forget about them, and condiments go in the produce drawer hidden away. Change it up as needed…. just a note that this really only works when you live alone LOL I’m sure a roommate would go mad at my organization
there are some food safety things to consider here though! like not storing raw meat in the top section as it can contaminate the other food if it leaks and drips down
hi deb - just wanted to say your videos are so comforting. i'm going through a breakup and since i don't have many friends it's very hard for me, your vids make me feel like i'm just hanging out/facetiming a friend
Yessss exactly
Hey, just wanted to say that I also recently got through a big and messy breakup and it breaks my heart to read that you don't have many friends to support you. You are worthy and precious any way and you'll get better, slowly, but you will, and trust me, love will find a way to enter your life again, as friends, lovers or even family. Best of luck and I am here supporting you
thank you so much lovely i hope you're well@@mariaandcrobat
i'm sorry love :'( sending you a big hug ❤️❤️
recently been trying to get over a breakup as well :( but deb's videos are a nice constant for me as well!! i hope you've been healing ☹️☹️
sobbing because i was literally just thinking of this and on the brink of crying because it feels like everyone already knows how to do everyrhinf… i have this need to be so hyper independent but it feels like basic skills i lack. thank you
Hey just wanted to remind you that you're not alone and you're doing great! It takes a little time and practice but you shouldn't be so hard on yourself and it's very brave of you to try ❤
I LOVE go to the grocery store!! Buying essentials and processing groceries is so fun, made me feel like an adult
ME TOO i feel like a lil character doing my sidequests
I'm not even an adult but I love it honestly! Seeing all the different stuff there is and what I could potentially do with it!? It's actually kinda fun lol
Important saving Tip: DON'T BUY VEGETABLES AND FRUITS AT SUPERMARKETS!!!! Instead go to shops with certain quisine like asinan, mexican or polish. Groceries are WAY cheaper and better quality. Also locate nearest markets and go there also for cheaper products. Also theres a lot of apps and online groups of people who give away food so it doesn't go to waste. I use too good to go, but i dont know if it works in USA
YES!! and farmers markets if available! so cheap
too good to go works in US as well!
this video was honestly so comforting, as someone who has been struggling with their relationship with food for most of my life and especially in college now, hearing you talk so passionately about how much food can provide us made me feel so good because I used to feel so guilty for literally eating and would see it as a punishment. i watch your videos whenever I eat because they calm me down! Id love to see more chef deborah videos!! also my tip is to buy some frozen produce like broccoli or frozen blueberries if you have trouble finishing fresh produce before it goes bad because it's cheaper and that way I dont waste it and alot of times you can buy a giant bag!
:") sending you a hug!! and yes the frozen produce tip is so good >>>
Keep taking care of yourself and nourishing your body with love and kindness.❤
Hello! Ingredients I recommend (of course, you can take out those you are sure you dislike) to make almost anything:
- onions (cheap, useful for literally everything)
- garlic (easier to have a garlic paste: lasts longer, you only use a tiny bit, and it gives tons of flavour)
- tomatoes (can be used for sauces, cooked for hot meals like pasta, raw for salads)
- carrots (can be eaten cooked or raw, usually cheap, last long
- RICE!! (LASTS SO LONG, will save your life, always have rice, also not expensive and it's nutritious)
- SPICES (salt, pepper, lemon (idk, I'm putting it here), paprika, cumin, ginger, etc)
- corn starch!! (if you mix a bit with cold water and a sauce you like, and add it to whatever you are cooking, let's say hot vegetables, you will have a LOT of sauce! Corn starch + water thickens what you are cooking!)
- Pasta (fast, simple, cheap)
- any fruit that you like, for example, I love oranges and apples, they are not expensive and are very nutritious.
- Maggi Cubes or chicken stock/broth (you can make a soup easy and quick with it)
- TEA TEA TEA (cheap, good for you, easy asf to make)
When you grocery shop you need to make sure you are getting the following things:
- Vegetables
- Fruits
- Carbohydrates (ex: rice or pasta)
- PROTEIN (make sure it has what you need. If you are vegetarian, for example, you might want to add spinach to your diet because the lack of iron from not eating meat might affect you)
- something that makes you happy and that isn't too big of a cost (snacks, for example)
Added recommendation: canned tomatoes may be cheaper where you live, and then you don't have to fight to finish them before they spoil. Also, cheese if you can eat it! Especially something like a block or bag of shredder cheddar will last a long time and you can use it as a sauce base (same way you use tomato as a sauce base). It can be nice to alternate tomato flavor, cheese flavor, and soy sauce flavor. Also potatoes for similar reasons to carrots.
@@kinseylise8595 oh yeah, canned tomatoes are a good option, but not 24/7, because they are very high in sodium :(
@@nr1896 Store brand usually has no sodium added! I'm a salt lover and you can also just not add salt when cooking if the canned tomatoes do have salt added, but if you have a few minutes I highly recommend checking the ingredients of the cheap brands. I do buy diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes so it's literally just tomatoes if you buy the organic store brand, or tomatoes and a common preservative if you buy the regular store brand one (no salt) which is what I do.
top tip, if you don't have any corn starch, you can use plain flour mixed with a little cold water. it's not quite as good but it does work to thicken sauces :)
also one thing I like to do as a student with ADHD is buy a pack of meat (chicken, pork, etc) and make a marinade for it and marinade the entire pack as soon as I get home from the store (keep track of the expiry date tho). That way, when it's time to eat I can simply cook the meat and not have to worry about how I'm going to season it or make a sauce for it to make a full meal. Veggies and rice can also be stir fried in some of the marinade.
no cus the grocery list idea is actually so helpful!!
shopping for meals >>> ingredients
When I first started cooking in college I was a mess! I'd either only eat two types of meals or try out recipes I didn't like just because college blogs recommended it. Starting to cook is scary and there isn't a good guide for newbies getting started, but your video would have been SO helpful to me a year ago! Although I'm still a bad cook, I've been able to try new things and discover new recipes and it's honestly been so fun! Love the video, and can't wait to try a few of your recipes!!
Ive been recovering from an eating disorder for about 6 years now, ans im still no where near being healthy, but i am trying. Recently ive been spending a lot of time trying to learn how to cook and take better care of myself, and its hard, but seeing video's like this give me hope. Hopefully one day ill be able to make delicious and healthy meals too, but until then ill keep learning and trying new things everyday ❤
I’m also in recovery, and man is she right about just feeding yourself being the goal. It’s awesome if we can also have nutritional and delicious meals, but we need to fuel our bodies, and food is food man. Now I’m out of survival mode recovery, and I’m ready to start exploring how to actually cook. I’m so grateful to creators like her for doing these types of videos
As a high school student, your videos seriously motivates me a lot. From living a healthy lifestyle to being a better person in general. Thank you for uploading this video 🌼🤍
this was such a much needed video for me honestly. i've recently started cooking for myself because of my health but instead i found myself eating that 1- 5pm meal that acted as both a dinner and lunch. these tips are such a common sense but i needed to hear it thanks love!!
the 1-5pm meal is SO REAL 😭 its okay we give ourselves grace
ngl that 1-5pm meal followed by a 9pm sandwich really hits
IKRRR!!!

As an independent adult, I am always setting my mind on certain things. Good news is food is on my list of certain things I’m passionate about. Thanks for giving us heads up on the most quintessential ideas on prepping and making food/grocery shopping. I am always grateful for all that you post so far. I can’t wait to see what’s more to come in your vlogs!
Love seeing this side of you and getting to understand what you study in school.
i never thought about it that way! thanks for watching xx
From a biology major: Every seedcarrying body for angiosperms are fruits:)) With generally four categories: nuts, berries, capsules, stonefruits. Tomatoes are actually berries, since they're fleshy fruits with multiple seeds:) Those are botanical terms.. wherein there is no such thing as a vegetable:) if you're talking gastronomic terms.. So no harm at all in calling a tomato a veggie.. It doesnt matter technically, heheee :))
7:23 That tomato egg soup looks DELICIOUS. I am DROOLING
SO EASY AND SO YOM
@@dobochobowhats the basic recipe? tomato, egg, broth? or should i google a recipe? id love to try making it!
@@ferviduum if you scroll down on this website you'll find a recipe for egg drop soup! sundaystack.substack.com/p/all-about-eggs-eggs-eggs
I love all the positive food content lately coming from creators like you that focus on our health and well-being whilst also being realistic. I struggled with food in the past I felt bad not being able to eat the healthiest options because I had little money back then but seeing these videos helped me achieve my health goals realistically and be more gentle with myself and my relationship with health and food
I've been watching you since I was in highschool and now I'm getting ready for college !!! This couldn't come at a better time. Love ya
YAYYY
Y'all it's a dobo notification you gotta come here 😆😆💞
lets gooooo (im in my comeback era)
As a texture issues girlie, I am a huge fan of the tricking myself like a toddler method!
I love this type of video talking about basic life activities, I've actually been thinking about this exact topic (grocery shopping, cooking) a lot lately
another amazing tip ive discovered recently is to look up the menu of one of those fancy healthy restaurants, and pick your favorites to make at home. it’s cheaper!
i love the idea behind this video!! i feel like no one really talks about how hard it is to learn how to adult, like the most basic things, in the transition from high school to college, so i think it will be useful to many :)) thank youuu, love your channel
i love ur vids sm they are so pleasent to watch. This video was also very helpfull and interesting especially since you dont see alot of ppl talking about stuff like this. also the freezer always being full is so real.
Omg can we PLEASE get an adulting 101 series?👏🧎🏾♀️
oooh if ppl are interested..? what other types of videos would you like to see?
@@dobochobo ooh! I think you’ve already made videos like this but how do you schedule yt videos work & school? I’m in my second year and I have to work 30ish hours a week to make decent money. I rly want to try making yt videos but I never feel like I have time- so if you maybe had any additional tips on that as well? Thanks for asking! hehe🤭🫶
@@pinkypie3112oh my god SAME im going to start uni tjis fall and im gna work around 20 hours a week but i also love to document(?) my life n stuff so that would be so helpful 😭
Hey Deb. This video is so so so beautiful and apt, especially in these days where over consuming is confusing and brain wrecking. And I loved the part where you mention about life long relation with food, which is so true. Thank you for putting so much efforts in making this video. Have a great year ahead ❤
THE QUEEN HAS POSTED! GREAT WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR!!
your commentary and reassurances are so sweet and comforting!! i found this video so helpful as a 2nd year college student that just recently got thrust into off campus living and therefore has to cook for herself 💀 i agree with so much of what you said !! making sure you eat is soo important and contributed to my academic successes this quarter as opposed to my fall quarter which is when i'd eat instant noodles so often. cheers deb !!! i hope the rest of your school year goes well ^_^
thank you so much for more cozy content!!! you have no idea how much of an improvement you've made on my life by providing such relaxing and helpful content 💘 we love you deb, ill def be using this when i move out
this was so informative and helpful - adhd makes cooking regularly, using my produce before it rots, and buying the right ingredients in the first place such a difficult task so i’m very thankful for this video
I'm am just about to move out for college this march, and this video felt like a absolute blessing
Tysm for making relatable and jugdefree content!
this video is going to be so helpful for me next year when i actually have a kitchen! i'm bookmarking it to watch again later!
yayy welcome back dobo !! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
fellow young uni creator here - loved this so much. i can relate to so much of what you said. your videos rock! they're cinematic, hilarious, touching, and feel like a friend all at the same time. you're part of the reason i started my own channel and you inspire me every day.
This is great. Most, if not all of these things were already known to me, but it's great to see someone actually *saying* them out loud, because I feel like so many people can learn from this, and there is no judgement. It's so true that sometimes, I just wanna eat something quickly, and I always have something ready in the freezer, and that's not something to be ashamed of.
You"re so comforting dobo
And she's back once again to slayyy
You are a lucky person. Really, the reality for many is different... many people cannot access certain products or directly a plate of food... Food is a blessing, but a blessing that not everyone has..
You're putting it in a really nice way. She is privileged. I like her videos but should have called this one "... as a RICH college student".
@@faeriegoreI totally agree with you...
@@faeriegorewhile I agree with this sentiment I think it’s a matter of being the target audience, I don’t think she’s “RICH” privileged, she’s just privileged in the sense she has a job many people could only dream of, because she isn’t exactly rich, just high middle class.
@@faeriegore fair, but a lot of her tips apply regardless of what you're buying and how much it is. Hell, a lot of her tips are meant to save you money
Ok but her tips still apply? Also she's not like millionaire rich. I could easily afford these meals and I'm a college student without a job lol. I live off grants and loans and this would fit into my quite small cooking budget.
Let's not dismiss people for having money the second we see them. She really didn't buy anything that screams ultra rich. She bought tomatoes, bread, some other veggies, tuna, kimchi, etc. None of these are expensive whatsoever and if you think they are it just shows you don't cook/buy real food much.
So happy you are back!
As a highschool student I love this vid. I’ve been so nervous trying to figure out what my day to day is generally going to look like in college, and most of the college vlog vids don’t cover practical stuff like this, but now I at least feel a little better about grocery shopping! That’s a step in the right direction.
Thank you so much for this video! I know a lot of this is "common sense", but as someone who had to be independent a bit earlier in life these tips provided such comfort and made eating feel less daunting.
Thks for the video and congrats w 500k been seeing your videos since your entrance to uni can't believe it congrats again
I'm a recent graduate soon to turn 24 and I often feel very hopeless about my situation and life in general as I'm often struck with this feeling of failing my twenties, or falling behind in life, and I can sometimes get very in my own head about it all. I find your videos incredibly comforting to watch because they're peaceful, cozy, but also remind me that most people my age including those I look up to are in a similar boat. Thank you for reminding me that we are all still learning how to adult :)
Finally!!! I miss you and your comfort like hug content bora yaa❤❤
Hey Deb ! This video was perfectttt im so excited because ive always struggled with meal prep and also shopping for groceries while also studying in college! love you deb I hope your doing well xoxo
love u :') x
this is the video that i needed now! it's just so well explained an dit motivaed me so much to star cooking more and have full meals. thank you so much for this vid deb, i loved it 💖
my bf and i have been watching ur vids for awhile now and you genuinely make such cozy and relatable content ahhh (also grocery shopping is a hobby fr)
I really enjoyed this video! As a public health major, I find satisfaction in content that can encourage people to make smarter purchases when it comes to grocery shopping. I struggle with this as a college student, but I have been working on learning what works best for me. I hope you continue incorporating what you have learned as a nutrition major!
AHHH thank you that means a lot to me!!
This video of how to cook and grocery by oneself is 100% useful. I love your content 😊
I'm very lucky to have a mom who's taught me a lot of things abt cooking, grocery shopping, tips to not spend too much money but this video was still very nice to watch ❤
Thanks for the vid
thank you for this! ive been stressing about groceries lately definitely saving this one!
i always plan my grocery list by what i'm making for the coming week, including my meal prep! it makes my grocery trip so much easier. if its in the budget i'll also buy a little more meat than I need and keep it in the freezer for future use.
Finally, you've posted a vlog. I really did miss you!!!!!
less than thirty seconds in but I just wanted to say i really appreciate and love your editing skills! It's clear that you're really creative and intentional abt how you edit your videos. Thanks for another video deb! :D
thank you 😭 that means a lot to me!
i severely needed this
Omg I am absolutely going to rewatch this video in the fall when I am living without a meal plan 😭 I am so excited to cook for myself again but also TERRIFIED! Thank you for the advice :)))
Omg i waited for soooo long❤
I will write these down in my journal for future use when I move out. Thanks deb!
i've missed u girl 😩🥹💗
Ahh this is so perfect! I’ll definitely be referencing this before I start my freshman year in August :)
This video is so useful. I just moved to Italy from Chile with my husband and it's been really hard to live far away from my parents. These tips will be very useful to me, thank you so much Deb
❤️❤️❤️❤️
hi!! newly young adult here, this video was genuinely super helpful. it’s sort of embarrassing bringing up to people how i’m not quite sure how to cook for myself, but this will definitely help in the learning process 🤩 thanks for the help!!
I love making soup and then freezing individual portions! So easy when u need to eat something and don’t feel like cooking
deb, you never miss🫶
Deborah, great video. You clearly put a lot of time and thought into each detail. I'm a first-time viewer and I really enjoyed it!
Living in Korea has made this so simple because of the 3/8 market where fresh produce is available for cheap! Just buy, wash and store! Will be taking a list of meals into the next cycle for sure!
I'm trying to cook for myself this year because I have the worst habit of spending on takeout and so far I've been having so much fun picking out ingredients and learning new recipes. Your video gave me so many ideas and I can't wait to try :O!!
I’d always struggle with cooking since I moved alone, i’m a freshman student and thinking about food every single day is kinda exhausting, but i’m starting to enjoying it, setting days to cook and plan my meals has been a great way to start❤
dude i love your videos!! you became such a big inspiration for me TvT!!!
😭❤️
she’s back yall
thank you for this video!! i’m moving into an apartment for my senior year and i’m pretty anxious about the cooking aspect, but this helps me so much
ahhh this was so helpful to me, probably for others too! thank you for making this video deb, means a lot :’-)
Thank you so much for making this video!!! I’m a grad student and it’s really hard to grocery shop and cook for myself 🥺 your tips help so much!!! ❤
i’ve always wanted to food prep and cook for myself but i find it so hard when i’m still living at home. but after watching this i’m definitely going to give it a try!
thank you for this!! Im moving out this year and one of the more intimidating things I'll need to face is feeding myself- I've been really lucky to have parents with the time, dicipline and energy to cook for me all my life and now that I'm moving in with some of my best friends, I wanna be able to give them the same comfort. This makes me feel like it's very achievable.
it definitely is! best of luck~
after being in uni for two years now, it is so important to have meals throughout the day! i use to skip breakfast, but now im making sure i eat at least something in the morning because it can really help you get through the day :)
me too! it really makes a huge difference
I am so pleased that you made this video! I live very close to University of Virginia and going to the Kroger near there watching the students shop is actually comical. This Vlog needs to be broadcasted on every campus in the United States! ❤
I realized AS I WAS WATCHING that I haven't eaten anything today and it's almost 6pm :0 will get on it now! Thank you for this video, as someone who feels daunted by cooking and nutrition, it's lovely to hear someone my age explain it from a healthier standpoint
go eat!! >:o
thank you so much for this vid omg! im moving to an apartment next yr and i cant rely on meal plan anymore so this is the perfect video
I appreciate you wisdom figuring it out as I go
Finally, I missed you Dobochobo ❤
This video is so clear and helpful!! I love it!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! I'm in college right now very far away from my hometown and I have been struggling to figure out on how to feed myself decent nutritious food since I've just been eating take out/ noodles almost everyday. This is so informative and comforting for me, now I have an idea on how to prep meals and or add stuff to my noodles hahahaha.
omg i luv you soooo much bc i really need this kind of video 💌
I wish I knew as much as you when I was a college student! You are dropping such great tips that I now use in my late 20’s. I really enjoyed your video, keep it up! ❤
This video inspired me a lot because I'm finishing my career in nutrition and a lot of the times I can't find inspo for making meals and I have tried to have a meal plan and know how much to buy and not overdo it, I love you for talking about this I needed it ❤️🩹
so many helpful tips! re: gross persimmon - hachiya are best for adding to baked goods, and fuyu are better for snacking!
Nutrition and communication major combination sounds amazing!! I graduated in nutrition in 2019, I’m an RD now, I love it but I wish I did something like what you’re doing!! Communication or counseling is what I would have loved to learn alongside nutrition. Love this video! ❤
This is a lovely, encouraging, grounded video. Thank you for creating such great educational art
I would say I love this content of yours sharing ideas,tips about food and nutrition. Hoping to see more of this type of content in the future
Great video! I found it encouraging and am glad to see cooking broken down so simply.
Was desperately in need of your videos
i love ur vibes so much💞
ok the rice in the freezer is a game changer!! i was already freezing my bread (my mama taught me well) but i never thought to do rice too! i always make a big pot of rice and stick it in the fridge, but i do worry sometimes about it going off after a week or two - i'll have to try this in the future!
First off all thank you for making this amazing video. This is the actual problem i safe many time as a uni students for cooking my self and eat healthy food but I endoff ordering the junk food. And because of less time I don't time to cook my self,😩🥺I love you please make more videos on this topic
she's backkkkk!!!
yuhhhh
We definetly need more gorcery shopping and cooking videos, your recipes look amazing
i love how thorough your explanations are i do the exact same thingsss
yayyy new video 😁
Little tip for the hachiya persimmons, they are a LOT different than fuyu persimmons. With Hachiya, you have to wait until they are basically turned to jello inside to eat them, or else they are insanely bitter and dry your mouth. Fuyu, on the other hand, you can eat when they are still rock hard. My favorite fruit are hachiya persimmons, but the first time I tried one before it was ripe I hated it.
