getting my life together (VLOG) - organizing bills, pantry & meals 📁🌱

[@booksfortea]

Just a little heads up that the expiration date doesn’t mean the food can’t be consumed afterwards, it’s just a bit of a help for the consumer. So if you open your can of chickpeas after the date and it doesn’t look or smell bad you can try one and if they also taste normal they’re still good to eat :) Canned foods usually stay good for a looooong time

[@allenfrancis3582]

I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me!

[@collinjerome8047]

@Allen Francis Instablaster =)

[@allenfrancis3582]

@Collin Jerome I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@allenfrancis3582]

@Collin Jerome it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@collinjerome8047]

@Allen Francis No problem xD

[@TheHonest50s]

Can opening ASMR plus garlic powder (love it too) you got it girl. I wish my pantry looked that neat. Inspired me to clean tomorrow :)

[@emma11265]

Hey Caitlin, Love the 'getting my life together' style vlogs - really motivating to watch in the morning before a busy day! more of these please! For suggestions on videos: maybe something on finding/maintaining friends in your early 20's (to fit with the early 20's theme from your budgeting video) and then also some more vlogs around Toronto - its a beautiful city! xx

[@Cirrown]

I can't believe I tried to find " getting my life together" type of video to watch yesterday and today you posted one...

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Woah we’re on the same wavelength haha !

[@nicolle1999]

I literally did the same thing but about 2 minutes ago! 😆

[@bells_29]

You mentioned on your Instagram story the possibility of a book club... not gonna lie, I would LOVE that!

[@shannonfick788]

Same! A Caitlin’s Corner Book Club would be so awesome!

[@shreyarekar9856]

Watching Friends behind in your background while you were cooking is probably the most satisfying thing of this video

[@ohamyrawrs]

Always a fun time for me when you upload right before I sit down to have a snack :)) You should make hummus with your chickpeas!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Haha great timing ! And that’s what people have been saying....I’ve never made my own hummus so got to get on that 🙌

[@ohamyrawrs]

Caitlin's Corner I’ve also never made hummus hahah! But here’s a link to one of my favorite youtuber’s hummus recipe/vlog !! And if you don’t already know Jessica, I think you’ll really like her 🤗 kzbin.info/www/bejne/foiapHSrmJuKf6s

[@gemmakusel8067]

You can also check out Pick Up Limes on YT. She has a video with a few different hummus recipes. 😊

[@darshanmathukiya7169]

Always like the dinner segment of your videos😁❤️

[@baileyc6591]

If you have never tried it, you should put garlic powder on your pizza! It’s super common where I’m from in New Jersey and around Pennsylvania and it makes your pizza even more delicious!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Oh I never have done that so I am making note of it ! Sounds delish 😍❤️ Thanks Bailey !

[@emmibobable]

Game changer

[@baileyc6591]

Caitlin's Corner of course!! once you try it you’ll never want to eat pizza without it ☺️

[@baileyc6591]

Emily Victoria haha it really is! I grew up with it and as I’ve traveled over the years I realized that it’s only a thing where I’m from so I’m happy to share our little pizza enhancing secret

[@jeannedz29]

Watching this while prepping my move out of my parents' house !

[@ninaandianfan21]

Always Love day in the Life, Meal Prep, adulting, organizing, vlog.... the more „Life“ related stuff xD

[@Ayeitsb3cca]

More iPad tricks and tips? Like what you use it for now outside of school or how you even used it during school too. I just got the Air and I’m loving it but want to expand my usage!

[@marydolan1067]

Video ideas: Favorite Amazon products Anything planner related Personal goal setting and achieving.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Love it ! Thanks for the ideas :))

[@emilygrace126]

Okay I need that can opener!

[@deborahrose4943]

That chickpea recipe was not what I was expecting! I make something very similar - but as a COLD dish/salad instead of heated..... chickpeas, diced red onion, salt, pepper, oil and some vinegar (I used garlic-wine vinegar). Eat it right away, or chill it and eat it cold.... love it! One of my regular dishes!

[@heidi7240]

I have that same baggu design! I love it so much!

[@MOnxIXxx]

As a soon to be post graduate, I really appreciate these types of videos about getting my life, finances, etc together c: thank you so much for these, and I would love to see more of your "adulting" life, lol

[@cynicalwytch]

Making chickpeas and watching Friends in the background. A classic canadian apartment tale.

[@courtneyallbright1884]

I love these vlogs

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Aww thanks, Courtney !!

[@SliececeilS]

I LIVE FOR THIS ORGANIZATION VIDEOS!!! Loooove iiiit

[@arantxa7962]

My mom also makes that chickpea recipe here in Spain, she also adds some ham (not vegetarians here) and it's amazing.

[@madnessofmymind]

I wouldn't be too worried about the expiration date on canned food ;) You can keep it for quite awhile still.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Haha thanks 🙌

[@fibrarian]

I came here to say this! Especially legumes like chickpeas, unless it’s a few years out of date I wouldn’t be even slightly concerned

[@maaninilakshmanan1382]

LOVE all ur vids! I'd like to see more meal prep and organization videos.

[@emmibobable]

So if things are in tins they’re air tight and can be eaten after their use by date. If you’re concerned what you could do is make something like hummus with your chick peas and freeze it so you have it for future use. All things have to have a use by date. For instance where my mum works, PAPER has an expiry date.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

👌 👌 love the idea of making hummus ! And thanks for the tips :)

[@sophialb5388]

I like to make pitas filled with roasted chickpeas witth spices like paprika and cumin. I then add lettuce, tomato and tzatziki! Or sometimes I roast the chickpeas until they are crunchy, they make a good snack or topping (it's good to let them air dry before) :)

[@lillychristenson6719]

I'm super late to this video but with the chick peas you can always make hummus for a snack!! really easy to make and super yummy!

[@IlFilodiArianna_vlog]

I really like this type of videos, like vlog of ordinary life! :) Looking forward to some Spring-related content 😍

[@agustinabressan7397]

Hi Caitlin I hope you read this... answering to your final request, I want to see more of you doing "self care" like meditation tips, or digital detox idk, something that inspires me (or us haha) to be more connected with myself... i love your videos!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Mmm love that...self care type of content is definitely something I’m passionate about so glad to hear that’s something you want to see more of ♥️

[@littlefoot461]

You’ve given me the motivation to clean my house lol My family has recently decided to take a road trip to Toronto this summer. I was wondering if you had any recommendations on things to do there. Love your channel!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Wahoo, I know how hard it can be to get motivated to clean haha 🙌🤣 and that’s so fun! I’d say the CN tower is a staple, but it’s great to check out the Yorkville area...also worth seeing if the distillery district has any fun events going on when you’re down! I feel like I need to do a video or post about Toronto recommendations lol 😂

[@littlefoot461]

Caitlin's Corner I wouldn’t say no to that video lol Thank you so much for your recommendations. I’m really excited 😆

[@stephvoz]

The excitement I felt when I read that title though... I live for these types of videos! 😍

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Haha, glad I could raise those excitement levels Stephanie !

[@hannahbrandow8019]

I really liked this video, keep them coming! It helps me get productive if I know other people are workin on their shit too 😂

[@KMort]

FRIENDS in the background, I see u nd I stan

[@nicolle1999]

what perfect timing, I was literally just looking for something like this ☺️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Yay! Hope you enjoy 🥰

[@rebeccasartcorner]

You should make a curry with roasted veggies, with the chickpeas. It's soooooo good!

[@arcticrest8368]

A book club would be a great idea!

[@stephaniebouchard]

If you don't feel like watching your eggs at all put them in your kettle. The kettle turns off after it boils and the residual heat cooks them to perfection.

[@Mary-Contrary]

I noticed the applesauce in your baking shelf, but you can also use the aquafaba from the chickpeas in place of eggs for vegan baking. Also - ALL THE HUMMUS!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Whatttttt?! YOU’RE BLOWING MY MIND! Had no idea it could be an egg replacement!

[@AVigortsson]

Nice video :) What is it you use to organize your cans so neatly?

[@rishaa682]

i like these kind of videos

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Yay! I’m glad :))

[@amandajohnson4428]

Great video!!! 😘💕

[@sarahjackson4481]

omg, I love can openers like that. they’re so satisfying. sooo, uh, chickpea tracker in a bullet journal spread? lol. thanks for an awesome vid!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

It's from starfrit (I linked it in the description)....very easy to use!

[@Samcma2015]

When you said "okay Google" my Google home mini activated and started playing music 🤣 I guess that we sound alike 🤷🏼‍♀️ Love the video btw 🤍

[@jmlol3261]

mine did too haha

[@cheyennebuckley7942]

Mine also started playing lol

[@savannahcarlon7033]

Mine did too!

[@abiwalter6139]

So did mine!

[@vixk_]

Try adding a little tomato paste to your chickpeas!! I love it so much and it brings a little aciditity

[@___jacklynnn]

Watching you get your shit together reminded me I had a bill to pay so thanks for that! 😂

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

My pleasure 🤪🙌

[@jesslee635]

Video idea! More Cooking with chickpeas? Recipes with chickpeas

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Haha, definitely will be lots of opportunities for that haha !

[@MeganWurm221]

Haha, when you told Google to resume music my Google mini started playing something 😂 Really enjoyed this vlog! I also always love when you do bullet journal videos. And if you ever wanted to record something like a work/office supplies rec video or a business casual looks video I would be very into that!

[@MademoiselleReveuse]

Here in France we still have Friends on Netflix too ! I hope it doesn't disappear too soon, especially with the quarantine situation going on here... What about Canada ? Are you quarantined there too ?

[@marianamartinezdachiardi680]

I'm a bit late, but this is the best video to watch before my gyst month!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Not late at all! Hope you enjoy it 🥰♥️

[@marianamartinezdachiardi680]

@@caitlinmariedasilva thank you! 💕

[@kristentan419]

hi!! i love your videos and i know youve talked about making a podcast. super excited for that- do you know about when you’d have an episode out? no pressure btw!! just curious. love u

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Don't want to say any exact timeline yet! Happy you're excited though :D Stay tuned! ♥️😘

[@Giinny7]

If you like ginger, maybe cut some cubes or very little slices and add it to your chickpeas, it is delicious and gets you out of the common ways of eating chickpeas. Also, don't waste the chickpeas' water! You can do meringue with it (it's like when you beat eggs until stiff) :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Ohh that sounds delish! Whattttt?! You can?! That’s blowing my mind haha ! Had no idea 🤪

[@Onechaoticlibrarian]

Great video as always. I wish you a good day and weekend. :)

[@annacrescenzi5341]

garlic powder memories.. me too! xoxo

[@mariacastillo3090]

This video came at the right time for me. Although it’s about 10 months old. Lol 🥰🥰

[@martynawieckowski4071]

Best before doesn't mean bad after ^^

[@juliaschuurmans_]

Hahah you triggered my Google Home, started playing random Spanish music 😂

[@admirbarucija2018]

I’m finally on spring break so I can get my life back together over the next week or so haha!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend 💝

Enjoy your break !!

Caitlin's Corner Thank you so much!! 😇

[@HowToGYST]

Genuine question: why do you separate your receipts by month? (I'm from Ireland so you may have a different tax system. Just curious.)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

It's mostly just an organization thing....helps to track down purchases easily :)

[@HowToGYST]

@@caitlinmariedasilva Ah. Makes sense. =)

[@LuvieIrene]

That’s so many cans ahhh

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Oh I know 🙈😅 chickpeas for days lol!

I would love to see a video where you explain why you’re vegetarian! I’m a vegan and I always love to hear about other people’s stories!!

Well thank-you 🥰 !!

[@Booksandsunsets]

What type of can opener is that? I want one!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

It's linked in the description! So good!

When you told your Google home to play music again, it turned mine on too xD

[@andychrns759]

She is so cute teaching us how to boil an egg 😂❤❤❤ Ily

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

LOL, you know, just in case someone else like me managed to go 23 years without hard-boiling an egg 😂

[@kellysmith3654]

why dont you make a big batch of hummus? you can put it in the fridge!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Ooooh! That’d be a great idea !

[@madnessofmymind]

@@caitlinmariedasilva You can also freeze hummus if you are into being able to pull some out. Fresh is always better, but sometimes the ease of something that's already made beats everything.

Is it bad that i recognized the Indigo receipt despite the blurring...? 😬😂☺️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

LOL you’re my kind of person 😂🙌

[@dannigibson7741]

You could make chickpea salad

[@bellablack8308]

you need to try to make cookie dough out of the chickpeas

[@silviaribeiro7370]

That chickpea recipe, so portuguese

[@neyhakamaluddin649]

If you feel like you don't want to go through alll those chickpeas you could also donate some to food banks near to you?? Just an idea... Love the video :)

[@monikakamila]

I accidentally had threading done once ooh That was painful. I go for waxing and I have the friends show on DVD

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

I actually prefer threading over waxing but yeah it’s not the most pleasant feeling haha 🤣

[@monikakamila]

Caitlin's Corner omg the first time I had threading I said waxing but she thought I meant threading . If I meant threading I’d have said threading sheesh lol 😂

[@SweetAngelPinay06]

Take a photo or video of the olive oil sliding in perfectly on the shelf and post it on the perfect fit subreddit on reddit

Hi Caitlin! One recipe with both chickpeas and garlic powder is crunchy roasted chickpeas by the Domestic geek! it's a delicious snack (tried it myself), link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYa0XmRtl9WHqdk Also, with sharing the self-care, you reminded me to buy a brow brush, so no, it wasn't a waste to share :P :L
