After you scrape your carrots, you can add the shavings to add to dog food. My sisters dog used to dig up fresh carrots from the garden and help himself! LOL enjoy all your videos!
My dogs have always all LOVED carrots!!
My dog LOVES the juices off cooking meat. I always save it all for him to mix with some meat and his dry food.
You really got a lot done. Especially with everything else you have going on. Enjoyed the video.
Where did you find the container you put your grapes in? It looks so handy.
Thanks Vanessa For Your Videos! I Really Enjoy Watching Your Channel💖God Bless You And Your Family💖
Thanks for watching 😊
So neat and all ready !
Happy Monday Vanessa!! Love the top your wearing in this video so pretty. You got a lot of foods prepped. I'm definitely going to check out my Dollar Tree's next time I go and see if they have the containers you used to store your fruit and veggies. Thank you for all you do Vanessa. Hope y'all have a great day and week.
I was thinking the same. Now I'm on a mission lol. Hoping ours carries them?!
@@kristielael2670 if not I'll check the website.
Where did you get your smaller storage food containers? I checked your Amazon favorites and didn't see them, but I could have overlooked them. Also, I know you also buy your dogs dry foods, do you mix them? I found your channel about a month or so agp, and I LOVE watching you, you're so real. 🙂
Most of my containers are from the dollar tree 😊 Yes, I mix the chicken mixture with the dry food for my dogs.
Vanessa, on some of your veggies, you poured a little bit of something from a big white bottle. Can you please tell me what that was & why? Also, I have the Kitchen Aid stand mixer as well & recently bought the shredder attachment to shred my cheese. I suffer from arthritis and had to stop using the hand grater.
Are you pouring vinegar over your produce?
Gurl you gotter done this day 🙌🏻
I definitely tried! Didn’t get everything on my list done but it was enough 😊
Great video thanks for sharing.
Great video Vanessa!
Thanks!
The cooking genius your are may already know this but if your family like quick pickles. Cut them to your choice and add Apple Cider Vinegar and let sit. So good.
I have found if you put tomatoes in the fridge they lose a lot of flavor and texture...my general rule of thumb is if it’s refrigerated in the grocery store then I refrigerate it at home if not then I don’t...
Wendie Beall yeah but aldi lets celery and grapes sit out of the cold area.
I Really Need those Dollar Tree produce baskets!!! Sadly, no Dollar Tree near me🥺
Thank you so much for sharing your prepping vlogs! You get me motivated ♥️🍋
Maybe check their website.
Mrs. Alma Trumble I hadn’t thought of that♥️♥️♥️
What is the colander your using?
Do the dogs get something different in the morning?
I am a new subscriber. I love the tupperware. Where did you get it?
Hi! I’m now convinced that you need a food processor for your food prep. It will slice all the veggies, as well as shred all your cheese in seconds.
I have a food processor just need to organize my kitchen better. I actually enjoy shredding my cheese with the grater, makes me think I’m getting a mini arm workout in 😜
New subscriber here and I have been enjoying your vlogs! Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for joining us here!
Where did you find the containers that you are keeping your prodice in? They look great!
Most are from the dollar tree.
Do the produce saver containers you put the grapes in work well? I'm debating on trying them but they are kind of pricey. Thanks!
I needed to ask the same. I currently use the "Green Boxes" by Debbie Meyer and I Swear by them. They made my strawberries last almost 2 weeks when without, they wouldn't of lasted a week because they grow Fast!! You can find the Green Boxes on Amazon. The ones she was using, ive always been curious about. They are indeed Kind of Pricey. I think you can get 2 of those for around $16?? If they actually work and extend the life of fruits and veggies, it would be worth the money to buy them.
I should add that I do wash and prep my veggies and fruits in the Oxo salad spinner and use a splash of vinegar. Let soak a few minutes then dump the water and refill so can soak in plain water. Dry and store in the Green Boxes with a paper towel. I have used the Green Bags too. They work but I like the boxes a little more.
Those strawberries looked huge!
They are so big!
Thanks for the videos. Because of Jen Chapin and SimpleWifeSimpleLife on RUclips, I use the OXO Salad spinner to wash veggies and fruits, like Apples, Grapes and Strawberries and use a splash of vinegar. I'm in Love with Oxo now lol.
I've been watching you a while now, but why do you do the chicken etc for the dogs? It's added to dry food correct? Just extra nutrition I'm guessing. Thank you again for sharing your videos/life with us. God Bless!
I have the OXO spinner and love it also! Yes, I add it to their dry food but don’t give them as much dry food anymore if that makes sense. It’s easier on their stomachs and their teeth as they are getting older.
@@LifebyVanessa I figured aging probably had something to do with it. I had a Cat that lived to be around 21 yrs and I had to give her soft canned food to help keep some weight on her.
Can you tell me what kind of pan that is that you are rinsing the grapes in? It looks like it has a strainer in it.
It’s a big colander from Ikea 😊
Do you have a link for this stackable jars? The ones that share a lid? Those are amazing and i didn't see them in your Amazon favorites.
I purchased those from the dollar tree 😊
@@LifebyVanessa oh wow! I'll have to look when this is all over. Thanks!
Hello I’m new to your channel and I’m really enjoying your videos.I wanted to ask where you got your containers that you used in this video. Thanks so much for sharing.
Most of the containers I used came from the dollar tree 😊
Thank you so much.
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Have you always made the dog food?
Where did you get the containers that you put the blueberries and carrots in?
Dollar Tree
Thank you!
The dollar tree 😊
Just curious why you make dog food. Healthier? Cheaper?
It’s been easier on their stomachs as they have been getting older 😊 It’s just something I have decided to do to supplement the dry food they get.
LemonadeMom Thanks. I was just wondering because we just got our first dog and she loves rice. I bet if i figured out the cost it doesn’t cost any more than a bag of dry food. I might have to try it and see what she thinks about it.
Thumbs up
Is cleaning vinegar different than regular white vinegar?
No don't think so. I use normal regular white vinegar. Like I mentioned in another comment, I use my Oxo salad spinner (I should be a spokesman for them lol). I LOVE that thing. Its makes it soooo convenient to wash and prep fruits and veggies.
Cleaning vinegar is usually different than regular distilled white vinegar. Cleaning vinegar should have a higher acidity percentage.
@@kristielael2670 how do you know how much vinegar to put in?
Just a small splash. Just make sure whatever you are cleaning, you put them through clean plain water, to rinse any extra vinegar that might be left on the product. Ive been doing this around 8 months now and I use the "Green Boxes" (can find them on Amazon) and I SWEAR by them in keeping veggies and produce a little longer. I had strawberries Cleaned, Rinsed and Dried put in one of those boxes, placed a dry paper towel in the container. Stored in the Frig and the strawberries lasted a minimum of a week and a half. Average storage of strawberries have never lasted me a full week in the past, before using the "Green Boxes". I like the "green bags" too but I like the Boxes a little better. Do NOT put the boxes in the Dishwasher. You could put them on Top-rack BUT I did that once and after that, it didn't seem to work As good as Before? Might just be me though lol.
@@kristielael2670 thanks!
I am a pet parent too and can't get chicken for my family here either! Love my dogs and spoil them....but....i am afraid I agree with that much chicken for dogs.
She commented elsewhere that there is not a frozen chicken shortage in her area, so I think it's okay.
I just can't believe the amount of food you have! Wow! You are very, very lucky to be able to buy all this delicious, nutritious produce! Very lucky!
We are definitely grateful to be able to support our family.

You need the grater attachment for your Kitchen Aide!
you should at this point rinse your chicken that foam was impurities
HeyitzRay thanks for the tip - I didn’t know what that was!
