I’m not been critical, I would have double checked the veg that you threw out and I would have made soup out of them of which you could have frozen. I love neat organised cupboards tea looked good.

[@Maria_crocker]

Yes that would of been a good idea .. I need to get more resourceful x

[@carolynshingler7761]

I bought a soup maker a couple of years ago so easy put in onions chopped and any veg water n stock cube 20 mins later lovely soup .it’s so tasty and very low calorie X

[@siantowers1243]

Soft tomatoes I put in a frying pan spray with low cal spray and fry up,l put salt and black pepper and Worcestershire sauce and have on toast,yummy.

[@Maria_crocker]

Sounds Yummy x

I want to borrow a “chef” daughter! What a treat and looked scrummy! No wonder we dread cleaning out cupboards and the fridge - one job leads to another! But it is one of those jobs that just has to be done. However, I always feel very righteous when the task is completed! No matter how many cupboards or however much counter surface you have in the kitchen it is never enough! I am glaring at my air fryer right now as I begrudge it taking up space. I don’t use it much - yes, I know lots of people will be horrified! However I really do not enjoy using it. I love my oven and try to batch cook to save energy. Omg…just seen Becky organising your cupboards. I am on my way to kidnap her! Xx Liz

Ha ha .. x

Wifes a subscriber shes watching u now, ref the space behind kitchen door while it it next to radiator and nit suitable for food storage why not put a pot stand in there to store all ur pots and pans such as an ikea slim line billy unit while free standing that could be attached to the wall to secure it, this would be in obtrusive and not take up a lot of space would free up space in a cupboard

[@Maria_crocker]

Wow what a good idea ❤️

[@lindabaker6099]

Great video good to be organised makes everything easier to find, it’s really too early for Easter eggs especially as Easter is later this year, great to see Leo having fun in the snow👍🏻❤️

[@Maria_crocker]

Thanks Linda x

[@lindalucia31]

Loved the wreath for spring, I don't usually bother after the festivities of The Christmas time, but I'm having a bit of a re-think after seeing the wreath it has given me some ideas but I won't do over kill. Thanks Maria.

[@Maria_crocker]

May have to go back and get the wreath my self x

[@suziwhite5194]

How lucky you are to have such a kind and caring daughter in Becky. Did you say she has her own youtube channel?

Lovely vlog, made me smile along the way. You have a super family xx

[@Maria_crocker]

Thank you so much 😊

[@ourcornishdream]

Enjoyed your vlog, can I ask where you purchased your tripod with light stand pls, I saw it in the background in your kitchen, thank you 😊

[@Maria_crocker]

The tripod/ring light was from Home Bargains about £20 x

[@ourcornishdream]

@Maria_crocker oh ok thank you 😊

[@Phyllis1956]

I always just wash and top and tail the carrots as the best bit is just under the skin. Love your blogs. Also your home. Beautiful 🎉🎉

[@Maria_crocker]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@coralsworld4327]

Morning Maria lovely vlog isn't it annoying when you haven't got much storage we've moved to a bungalow and we are struggling with where to put things , the snow is still here after raining most of the night still must be cold 🥶 have a lovely day take care Maria 😊❤️

[@Maria_crocker]

Thank you, take care x

[@helenparker3165]

Nice little kitchen Maria. Our Homebargains does not have a cafe. Soup is a good idea for using up left over veg. Xx

[@Maria_crocker]

Great idea!! X

[@paulined4190]

Great long vlog Maria, we always learn tips from one another. xx

[@Maria_crocker]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Nanna-M]

I’m not sure how much room there is on top of your wall cupboards, but if you have enough room you could get some nice wicker baskets to store some things that you don’t use often. Xx

[@Maria_crocker]

Great idea!!

[@kerrielankshear8095]

That was great thank you, ahh you and Beckie sound so a like whe you say looking forward to this😂 it's so funny xxhappy new year ❤

[@Maria_crocker]

Happy new year!!

[@melhawkins167]

Cant believe the Easter eggs already, we cant catch a break!😂 Got the log basket I roll my throws in it cosy for watching tv. Send Becky round I need some organisation! We luckily escaped the snow in Cornwall Lovely vlog

[@Maria_crocker]

Thank you x

[@Lentini28]

Lovely video, maybe put microwave on the wall, freeing work space, that cupboard by your washing machine look at what you use the most, what you do not use that often put in containers on top of the fridge freezer, using that space above cupboards, also above your radiator you could put a slim cupboard or shelving, hope it helps😊

[@Maria_crocker]

Thanks for the tips x

[@muriel240]

Hi Maria. If I bought Easter eggs to put away, I'm afraid they wouldn't see Easter lol. Far too early. As there is just two of us, I tend to blanch and freeze any veg. I do the same with potatoes. Cut them, par boil, freeze then use them for roasties . I love organising. I too have a small kitchen so it is difficult. I dont keep tomatoes in the fridge. They are in a bowl in a cupboard. I'd certainly use the top of your cupboards for rarely used things. Put them in containers or baskets. We only had a bit of snow on Sunday. All gone now, thank goodness xx

[@Maria_crocker]

Thanks Muriel x

[@corrinnefitzgerald2283]

love the bird trifle I use to have it when I was little girl use to make it with my nan and mum kids love snow ❄ love corrinne friend butterfly 🦋 ❤ 💕

[@Maria_crocker]

[@jillchristopher4670]

[@Maria_crocker]

Thanks for the tip x

[@wendyedwards490]

Morning Maria lovely having your family room becky cooking lovely ❤

[@Maria_crocker]

Thank you x

[@JoanMassey-w5f]

You could put a small trolley behind the door. I have one from IKEA and find it very useful.

[@Maria_crocker]

Great idea!

[@beverleywolstenholme5131]

Honestly it just seems to be one occasion after the other..hardly Christmas out of the way & we're being bombarded with Easter & more Chocolate..far too early isn't it ..well Happy New Year Maria xx

[@Maria_crocker]

Happy New Year x

[@GH_SW]

We're complaining because it's dipped below 20C here and I have to put a cardi on!

[@dorothyburgess7969]

❤❤😊

[@elaine-f7s5x]

Can't believe there are easter eggs in the shops, spring / summer do my own door wreath , netflix have some good stuff coming we watched missing you last night that was good , just finished watching sas rogue hero's really good, my gosh Maria lot of veg i like fresh stuff but i do tend to use frozen hate it when fresh carrots go spongy 🙂❤️❤️

[@Maria_crocker]

Thank you x

[@janealford7393]

With a lot of potatoes spare I peel cook then fluff them up and freeze ready for roasting

[@Maria_crocker]

Great tip x

[@franwalker9437]

Hi Maria, I don’t have much storage space either so will watch with interest to see if there are any good ideas in the comments x

[@Maria_crocker]

Thank you x

[@paulined4190]

Do you buy the light birds custard Maria or the regular . Just wondering the difference, like is it sweeter.

[@Maria_crocker]

Either x

[@yvonnedixon1845]

Your older veg rather than throw away make soup with it. Can even add a tomato to it too. I dont like tomato but if I do sweet potato and butternut squash I had a tomato so I can't taste it.

[@Maria_crocker]

Thanks for the tips!

[@pamelawright1369]

Thank you for sharing 😅

[@Maria_crocker]

My pleasure 😊

[@jeanettedavies7834]

I keep things I hardly use at the top of my kitchen cupboards so I don't have to keep reaching for them
