My objective for this channel is to share with others what I have learned over the last 30+ years about living and eating healthier. I share my knowledge with my small circle of friends all the time. I am not a doctor, nor do I hold any type of medical degree, but I believe that my tried experiences may help someone else.
For over 30 years I have used every diet imaginable to lose weight, but I confess that I am now at home using the vegan lifestyle. I want to share what I have learned about eating and enjoying food. And, since I am still learning how to be more consistent with this lifestyle, I have decided to eat more healthily, realizing the weight will come off eventually. Though I have not reached my goal weight, I know that sharing with other people in front of a camera with help me to stay on course.
I have, with the help of my husband of 37 years, raised 3 grown children. I will also share some cooking shortcuts as well as some natural formulas I have used and still use for everyday problems.

I love beautiful people like you who pass down your wisdom and knowledge to others. Something as simple as preserving your greens. To me there is something so deep and precious about doing that. It helps you in so many areas of life. It feels strengthening and you feel equipped. That's how I see it. Thank you.

@GoodCookingGardener 4 года назад

When my fridge is so full I can't put a bowl in it, I put the salad and paper towels in a gallon size ziplock bag and then press out as much air as I can and zip it shut. Keeps the lettuce crisp, but takes up less space than a bowl.

@bertajay 4 года назад

I like what you do. It is interesting and you may see your tip again on my channel giving you the credit for sharing it. Is that okay with you, GoodCookingGardener? Thanks so much. 😀

My mother taught me to wash and dry garden lettuce leaves and wrap each leaf individually and lay them flat with paper towel on each side and then roll them and store them in ziplock bag in the fridge. Keeps garden lettuce good for a couple of weeks.

@tovahromanov7414 4 года назад

Brilliant

@jjsinger3851 4 года назад

Laura Jones I used this technique as well! Works for me!

@pearlgirl 4 года назад

Fantastic I use it too especially just before the lettuce bolts or just before the real ice and cold.

@EchoJ 5 лет назад

I do this! The “paper-towel trick” also works to prolong other veggies like cucumber and tomatoes. I don’t use a whole tomato or cucumber at once, so I wrap the part that would go into the fridge into a piece of paper towel and then it goes in a ziplock bag (press out as much air as you can prior to closing). Towel absorbs moisture and keeps them from getting mushy. Change out the paper towel when it’s saturated, and repeat. Save $ not having to throw away veggies that get too mushy after only a couple days.

@brownfamily8786 Год назад

Interesting! Do you store the lettuce after rehydrating or eat it right away?

@krystalleigh315 Месяц назад

That’s what we did in a restaurant I worked in. We would cut the Romain the night before for the Caesar salad and store it in a bucket of water in the fridge and it would last for a couple days but I mean normally we cut it fresh every night, but still….. not sure if It works w iceberg lettuce tho

@SheriAnne0711 3 года назад

Love your salad tips Berta! My mother made the best salads. She would put all the salad greens in a big bowl of ice water. Those greens would get soo crispy. She would drain and spin them until completely dry. She then took her garden cucumbers and would peel a few strips off but not all. She would take the tines of a fork and go down the length of the cucumber on 2 sides. When you cut the cucumber it had a pretty edge. Every time I eat a beautiful salad I think of her and the effort she put into making salads beautiful for our family.:)

@bertajay 3 года назад

Hi, all if you don't have a salad spinner after you wash your greens shake em off and put them into the middle of a dish towel, pick up the corners in one hand and spin it around your head and voila it's dried, hope that helps xx

@noraarico1313 5 лет назад

I put washed lettuce into a large Ziplock air-filled freezer bag, close it, and shake while occasionally tipping the bag side to side. With bag tilted to one side, you will see water collect. Open the bag, tilt and shake again and when enough water accumulates, hold the tilted bag like it's a narrow funnel with both hands, and allow the water to run out into the sink or bowl. Just make sure no lettuce leaves escape the bag along with the water. Close bag; repeat the procedure about three or more times. Finally, close up the water-drained Ziplock bag and refrigerate for crisper lettuce; use within several days if extra is left over. it may take a little practice but it's a quick, no-mess method and there's no wet paper or kitchen towels to contend with.

Yes, this is right on time! I learned last night to cut some herbs into your salad! Just had a HUGE bowl of the salad mix, onion tops, chopped cilantro & maters (tomatoes). I mixed up a dressing with tahini, fresh lime juice, nutritional yeast, grapeseed oil, pink Himalayan salt - it was tasty/okay - better suited for falafels though. I'm Thankful.

@bertajay 5 лет назад

Oh, my goodness, VEGGIEB thanks for leaving me a comment. I do appreciate your input. My other viewers will, as well.

@maureengannaway8635 5 лет назад

@theunknownsource8317 5 лет назад

Great video! Wondering if I could use this method using ziplock bags and making individual on the go salads? Think I'm going to try that!

@bertajay 3 года назад

It's been a while since you asked so I guess by now you've found out that you DEFINITELY CAN USE ziplock bags for this. I would suggest using them right away, though. Let me know how it worked for you with the bags. 😊

@amyabramajtys2100 5 лет назад

I've been doing this for a while now and love it... It has really enabled my ability to have more salads, in a big way. Now, the last time I did it I blended kale, cut up cabbage, and spinach and I would actually take a few generous handfuls of it and sauteed in a pan really quick (covered with a little bone broth if you want to steam it or even make a soup) with some oil salt pepper and then throw a little meat on top and it was amazing. So if you're getting sick of just cold salads, that's another way to utilize this concept and have a little more variety.

@bertajay 5 лет назад

Thank you so much, Amy. You are doing a good thing for yourself to get more GREENS into your body. I appreciate your comment. 😉

@tovawald7735 4 года назад

Thanks so much for sharing. It's a sensible and easy way to make the greens go further!

@bertajay 4 года назад

Oh, Tova, I am so glad to be a help to you. This is so simple and easy; but, it really works. Do give it a try. Let me know how it works for you. 🥬😀

@HeronCoyote1234 4 года назад

Brand new subscriber. I love you!!! You’re a pleasure to watch. I’m vegan (7 yrs), but never ate enough greens. This method of storing is brilliant! I’m going to add diced cucumber, carrot pieces, sweet peppers, and other “dry” accoutrements to the big bowl. At time of serving, I’ll add rinsed beans, chopped nuts, maybe diced apple, and a little dressing. I’m getting hungry thinking about this! Now on to your other videos.

@marymorales8609 5 лет назад

Will have to try this, it's just 2 of us and I love salads but it would always get slimy I will try this for sure!

Just found your channel and really enjoyed this video. It's great seeing someone closer to my age with videos about a plant based diet. You are a natural in front of the camera!

@bertajay 4 года назад

Thank you so much, Linda! I never thought I was a natural but I appreciate your words to me. I am truly humbled by them. Though I am certainly not perfect with my new lifestyle, I don't intend to change because the longer I do it, the easier it becomes. Thanks, again!😊
