Learned something new today. Never thought of storing asparagus in water. Interesting tips thank you! - 8/7/18
I haven't don't it yet but think to day I am going to go through my fridge and pitch a bunch of stuff (high sodium/fat, etc). Wonder if that fridge came with a divided drawer or if she put divides in it. Love that! - 7/20/18
I could hear it fine, but the visuals were all black.... Is it just me? Or SP? - 9/28/16
Sound came through but not the display! - 3/12/16
Get tips I need to use. - 12/23/15
Love the fridge - we've a big American one here in England, but Meg's one is much nicer! I've a 'thing' about fridge management: dairy on one shelf, meat on another etc. Same with the freezer & helps avoid buying things you've already got. DB drives me NUTS, shoves things in any old way, aaaarrrghh! - 5/15/15
She's not that healthy as she's eating meat and dairy! - 1/20/15
Never thought of storing asparagus in water. Interesting tips. - 1/17/15

Hmmmm....she doesn't have containers half-full of moldy leftovers. She must clean out her fridge more than I do! ;-) - 10/10/14

Great video you can keep your celery in foil it last longer. Please keep the videos coming - 5/4/14
Never knew about the milk not being kept on the door: where I have kept it all my life. And I do love a really cold glass of milk: don't know why I didn't think of that! THANKS! - 3/27/14
I've never heard of wrapping your cheese in parchment paper. Really like the tip of putting asparagus & herbs in a bit of water. - 2/6/14
It looks as tho her freezer is on the bottom - When we bought this fridge a few years back, that wasn't an option but I'd certainly look for it the next time we have to buy one! - 10/11/13
Thanks Chef Meg me and my family all love you - 9/2/13
Great information about the cheese. - 7/23/13

Thanks for the cheese storage tip. I don't have parchment paper at the moment. I wonder if wax paper will do... - 1/26/13
I am going to put my asparagus in water right now! (Now that I know this it seems so logical; this is exactly how it's sold in the store!) Great tip about storing cheese, too. Thanks! - 1/20/13

Great tips - 8/29/12
Good tips. I've recently been reading about the bad effect plastics have on our system and one of the things mentioned is not keeping cheese in plastic (use parchment, baking paper or greaseproof paper). Cheeses (especially the fattier ones) react with the plastic and absorb the chemicals from it. - 8/28/12
REALLY great view of Meg's Fridge! I try to keep it simular! I liked she has salad ready to go, in a container! Thanks Meg, your a big help! I LOVE your cookbook! - 4/12/12
love these ideas - 3/21/12
I thought the tip about keeping aspargus fresh and wrapping cheese in parchment paper was very helpful to me. We're always learning. - 3/21/12
My husband loves fresh asparagus, I will try that trick, water in the glass in the back of the fridge. Spinach isn't well liked in my house hold, but I use it in a salad 3x a week with sun dried strawberries and sliced almonds. I put a little strawberry vinaigrette on top and have a nice lunch. - 7/12/11
I am working on getting my parents' fridge to stay organized. What a help, thanks! Now if I can just get them to follow suit. LOL! :) - 6/20/11
Wow! My asparagus will be stored in water from now on! - 6/7/11

I too love the ideas. My fridge is horrible! Plan to work on it tomorrow! Didn't like buying fresh herbs because I always had trouble keeping them fresh and usable. Now, I may try again! Thanks! - 11/1/10
REQUEST = please Meg, help me makeover my pantry...I want to know what healthy canned and dry goods to keep on hand for cooking easy healthy meals. - 10/24/10
Ok - this may be a weird question... What kind of refrigerator is that? I love the way it's set up and I'd love to keep it in mind for when I invest in a new one for my healthy kitchen! - 8/3/10
Your tip about using parchement paper for the cheese is genius! I've always struggeled with either wet cheese (from being in the plastic) or dried out cheese (from not being covered at all to avoid the wet cheese). I've also always wondered what to use the parchement paper for. Thank you so much. - 7/31/10
I am just starting out with this program, there so much I learned from watching this video. Thank you - 7/20/10
Thank you for the cheese tip!! - 7/14/10
I've just reorganized my fridge and now there's so much more room-- I barely took any out! As soon as I watched the part on how to store herbs, I did what it told me. Hopefully this will keep my veggies fresh longer. That's a major issue for me. - 7/13/10
I will try with cilantro, I love to keep a good amount handy - 6/20/10
I just tried the trick for keep asparagus fresh, and it worked wonders! SUPER crisp and fresh way longer than I would have expected :) - 6/14/10
