I agree. If I see "best before" or "best by", I think it's fine to eat after the date. The food wouldn't be in its "best" form, but at least it's not poisonous 😂

honestly this video probably helped reduce hundreds of pounds of food waste by inspiring people to clean out their kitchens, so YES you should do more of this. gonna go see what goodies i've got hiding now

Two videos in a week LET'S GOOOO

if you toast your old nuts either in a dry pan or in the oven at 325 for a few mins it should crisp them up/rejuvenate them. you can also keep them in the freezer instead if you don't go through them quick enough

I’ve been watching you for a while now and just wanna say how much I appreciate you and your humor. Also I always get inspired from your meal creations no matter how “ugly” or “not presentable” so thank you!!!

2:48 You could make a "bircher" (burcha) musli with the leftover seeds and oats. It requires no cooking. It basically means you soak the oats with a variety of seeds overnight. It makes the nutrrients in the seeds more bioavailable apparently. I add raisins and dried fruit in mine and then eat it with peanut butter or almond butter.

@aw1379

Very good recommendation but your pronunciation guide of bircher is hilarious to me (no hate). The word is Swiss German so the “ch” is a guttural kind of sound... “bir - kher” is as close as I can get in English (i like in “in”, e like in “met”). Again, no hate, I also laugh at the way English speakers say “toblerone”. You’d probably laugh your butts of at the Swiss German pronunciation of “ketchup”...

@aw1379

Also, one excellent thing to add to bircher is grated apple. My favourite “base” is oats, apple, nd milk or yogurt, raisins, and a little bit of cinnamon. And then some seeds to top it in the morning - great start to the day!

This was the most enjoyable "what I eat in a week" i've ever seen!

Rice and beans are the ultimate Brazilian food! We eat a lot for lunch! Usually with meat, salad or farofa! Love it! You should totally try to make farofa is tapioca/manioc flour (idk how you call it) butter, onions and garlic. Put a lot of butter on a pan, fry the onion and garlic and put the flour and let it toast a little. Its amazing!!!

Loving your videos! I add goji berries to overnight oats. They plump up after soaking that long and then just have a mild berry flavor.

Welllll, meat and animal products like milk and eggs, and even their derivatives, likely do expire long before plant-based ingredients, like flour and salt and other natural ingredients that might be preserved by other natural preservatives (salt, sugar, and citric acid are a big three!). I am just now getting into food science, so don’t take my word for it! 😅

Emily, thank you so much for making these videos - they are very entertaining and I am always put in a good mood, when I watch them. :)

I have things in my pantry that are yeaaaars old and have gone bad. They tend to be the stuff that are on the top shelves or in the very back that no one reaches for

yea expiration dates are more for companies so you can't sue them, if it it looks + smells fine and the packaging isn't damaged (in the case of canned goods) you're probably fine.

I really like this theme, and how you showed everything and gave ideas, even if you didn’t use them. It helps us get ideas of how to use up our items, too!

You're almost to 100k!! Love your videos, you and the way you eat feels so relatable/real

I cannot get enough of how your hair and sweater match. Also in Chinese cuisine, they use goji berries to make herbal soup since they kind of add a unique sweetness and flavor.

This is my new favorite video you’ve made!!

feeling BLESSED!!! truly needed this absolute treat today - love ya Emily!

Watching this video again! I love getting inspired to use up my pantry ingredients

Your videos are the highlight of my day.

silent viewer here: i've missed you terribly. you're precious.

Maybe you could blend the goji berries to a powder to color smoothies? Idk if it would affect the flavor too much though.

Store your nuts and dried fruits in the freezer, they last a lot longer. When you want to use them, just pull them out and let them thaw for 5ish mins, or stick them on a pan on the stove or toaster oven. I usually buy the big costco siz bags of nuts and do this, it really does last a long time. This way they also don't get the old oily taste.

Second video this week made my day

You can freeze your ginger and grate it whie frozen. Lasts for a long time in the freezer!

I use instant oats that I don’t want to eat or are about to expire and make a honey oat bread, and you could throw leftover nuts and seeds into it too if desired or rye bread.

omg you’re spot on with the goji berries. I have mine in my pantry lol. I think it would be okay soaked and then used in a smoothie? I just want to hide the flavour

Sometimes its actually worse to put sell by/use by dates on products. if they haven't had any preservatives or pesticides on them it's difficult to predict when things will go bad. Instead they use a number/code (the big long numbers) to say when the product was picked/produced and stores can use these numbers to rotate stock instead of sell by dates.

This video is a sign from the universe. I have way too much food in my pantry that I can easily use up. Thank you 😭..

yasssss queen so pretty

I get some sort of sick satisfaction out of using things up. I don’t know what it is. I LOVE when I’ve used something up.

The 'NOOO!' at 28:38 made me laugh more than it should.

Omg the censored rice literally made me spit out my water laughing thank u for shielding our eyes from that

Those samosas with chutney are AMAZING

I discovered goji berries through a local smoothie shop in this amazing and I go back and forth from buying it and making it myself. It’s pineapple, banana, mango, orange, and goji berry! It’s sooo good.

idk why but this was a very entertaining video

Although I like goji berries, I do not like to eat them raw and dry. Usually, I put them on my morning oats or microwave bread and I always put them on warm water first with a bit of cider vinegar, to hydrate and clean(and then before use I just rinse them in cold water and mix them in the food I´m preparing). It works for me. You might find other ways that suit you best. :)

My roommate and I just did a massive log of everything in our pantry, fridges, and freezers and now have a Google sheet so that we know what we have, where things are, what needs to get eaten soon, and what we need to buy. It's super helpful to know exactly what you have.

Soak the goji berries in some apple juice for an hour and then snack on them like dried fruit! The sugar helps and they get softer.

the cacao powder expired on my birthday awwwwwww

DUDE i love your videos so so much. Also, the bread!!!!! It most likely sunk in because it was under baked (could also be expired leavener like the baking soda/baking powder. But since u said it wasn't cooked im leanin towards the rawness). Its the absolute WORST when that happens. With loaves it can be so hard to tell, so I always recommend using the toothpick method but also the finger poke method (lmao). Just poke the center of the loaf and if it springs back its totally done! The finger poke is pretty much a guaranteed result :) i hope it helps

For bean sprouts - you can buy dried mung beans (sprouts sells in bulk section) and sprout your own! Very easy and only takes a couple of days

love that you arent scared by dates and tried not to waste food! time to hit my pantry

i'm really obsessive about eating leftovers, so this video makes me feel so validated

"Mana-eesh" also LMAO at the mustard at the end

The suspense of watching the food name scroll up the screen and finding out if you made it or not is too much for my little heart to handle 😂

EMIILY HIt 100K!!! YAYYY

I was left in intense anticipation for the food to get to the list and find out if you actually made it. It was fun. 😂

cold pancakes are elite snacks!

The way I laughed at the mustard bit

the first time i tried goji berries they were covered in chocolate and they were okay (didn’t buy again) but i finished them all so it’s worth a try i think

Omg, I didn't like goji berries the firs time trying them too. Haven't visited them since. I want to revisit, but I also don't want to be wasteful

Goji berries can be used for beverages if you wanted to use it up. They taste good if you add it to hot water along with dried dates and brown sugar. Very effective for period cramps too! I'm chinese and we don't eat goji berries dried and typically you always want to soak them!

*EMILY,* I want to share an air fryer + pancake making tip I feel like may help (and may also be a fun future video **wink, wink**). If you cut up & line parchment paper in between pancake batter and in an air fryer, you can make all the pancakes in one go. >;'-)
