| May 8, 2024 Food Prep- New & Improved -Meal Prep -Organization
Let me say this, nothing & I mean nothing is new nor improved. Darlene is saying this because she deleted all her old videos that show the same things, recipes & failures.
At 50 years old & bragging over being a SAHM for 25 years, Darlene still can't cook, hates to clean & basically knows nothing about running a home. She is a failure at being a homemaker & a parent. That's nothing to brag about.
We begin by looking at some cut up strawberries she couldn't fit in all her containers. And we hear about those Rubbermaid Fresh Works containers for the 500th time. Then she shows chicken with cut up peppers & onions all packed together for one of her quick & easy meals. It's a Saturday night. What's the rush? And someone tell me why this small family of 3 can't work together to make dinner on a Saturday night. There's no schedule, no one has to be anywhere & you can start earlier in the evening.
BECAUSE no one else is allowed in the kitchen, EGGspecially Andrew. He's lucky she allows him above ground to eat.
Wait. That's it? What happened to the dinner? We only saw Hunter, no Linus again & then all of a sudden it's Sunday. You know what that means. Darlene was alone on Saturday night. The chicken she had in the bag was not going to be cooked, she got take out. She ate alone in front of the TV.
Prove me wrong Dar. Until then, you're a liar.
And we get to see her cabinet with all her containers & measuring stuff. It's a mess with one big plastic basket just filled with random crap. Then she tells us AGAIN about the 2 new glass containers she bought at Walmart. Darlene, I've seen these containers 20 times. I don't need to see them again. This is not new.
The house is a disaster. There's a random laundry basket by the table, she just finished up the dishes from the night before & says they had a KIND-A brunch, there's stuff in the sink & random crap around.
The timekeeper tells us it's 1:58 & that her stove circuit board is not working again. She says they fixed it once already in an 8 year old stove. Well Dar, don't buy Samsung appliances. Looks like a new stove is coming. Does that mean she won't be getting a new freezer? Lately it seems that money is pretty tight except when it comes to food. Since they did some stuff over a year ago, they haven't replaced or fixed or painted yet. You'd think Miss Moneybags who buys pricey items would just go pick out a new stove. And that she would already have a new freezer.
In fact, why isn't there a crew changing out the sink, faucet, countertops, backsplash & flooring?
To prove my point that Darlene can't cook, she adds peppers & the onions she just cut (badly) into her cast iron enamel pan that is so hot, it may melt. The peppers started burning immediately. By the 'time she said she sauteed them, the bottom of the pan was burned black. Oh, don't worry, the peppers & onions weren't burned black, just the pan.
Oh please. This is shades of burned pizza or sweet potato fries where we were told the black parts were flavor. That burned bottom will flavor the peppers & onions. It will make them bitter.
No, I'm wrong as Darlene thinks they're just fine. She's even using tongs she got at Walmart. Not sure why we needed to know this. To me the important part is that you burned that poor pan black & are still going to serve food from it.
If I were the Dawn Powerwash company, I'd tell this dumbass that not only do you never spray it on a screaming hot pan, but it's supposed to be sprayed & left alone.
As I'm watching her lean on the sink waiting for hot water, I think her faucet is leaking. Yes, I went back to look & it's definitely leaking. She should look under the sink immediately to be sure it isn't seeping underneath.
Now she's just doing busy work that is meaningless. But for anyone new, Darlene is at a new stage of life & meal prep is different than when she was a Military family. OMG, not that story again. Darlene somehow needs to look busy so she cuts an onion & red pepper to store in a glass container.
This is ridiculous. How long at dinner does it take to slice an onion or pepper? 2 minutes? But she's so super duper busy she needs to have a container with an onion & pepper all ready?
She tells us about the Walmart 94 sale still going on & how she bought so many cucumbers. But it was a pick up order & they were too big. So Miss Wasteful takes a bunch of paper towels so she can cut out the seeds. To throw it all away? Doesn't she tell us all the time how she composts? Why can she just cut out the seeds over the bowl?
Darlene wastes paper as much as she does plastic.
She making a (fake) Greek salad & tells the story of how her mom would cut cucumbers in quarters & cut out the seeds.
OK. I believe Pat could still cook rings around Darlene with one hand tied behind her back.
And we have to hear the same story AGAIN of her JA Henckles knives she bought at Canadian Tire. They are really nothing special & the proof is that she will put them in the dishwasher. You don't treat good knives like that. But Darlene is LAZY.
She's going to cut a red pepper, but goes to the sink to check to see if the Dawn worked it's magic. Not yet. She uses her cool girl Scrub Daddy & nope, the pan is still black. More Dawn & back to the pepper. I have no idea if she washes the Dawn off her hands. But, she is holding on the counter as if she is about to fall down.
She's either holding onto the sink, or counter or stove. Can't she stand without assistance? From what I see, no, she can't.
In a tribute to Pat, she is cutting another cucumber with a paring knife. The first one she cut on the board, but in this tribute she's just showing you what she knows.
Yes, we've heard this story before when she's peeling potatoes, but Darlene doesn't buy potatoes anymore. Only frozen & I assume instant. Darlene LOVES instant potatoes.
So, this is also not a new story.
She throws Hunter pieces of cucumber & says 'the boys' are getting cucumbers, but no Linus. What boys?
And of course this (fake) Greek salad from the woman who keeps telling everyone how she is going to make food from scratch, shows a bottle of dressing she bought a while ago at Farm Boy. Of course. Darlene make dressing? Never happen.
As she does the voice over, she really wants to show us another thing her mom used to do, but she is adding the Feta cheese first & then on the video moves the bowl aside, so doesn't show using a plate over the bowl. We'll see that later.
She still has that bacteria breeding ground cutting board on the counter that now holds a container. How much stuff has been put on that board she is using for food?
I bet she never cleaned that board properly yet & should stick to plastic. It's gross.
She is going to blend the cottage cheese smooth, we hear the story about the Ninja blender again & says she is going to add a Ranch seasoning packet. Why? It's all salt. Plus, she put the smooth cottage cheese in another glass container & then adds the entire packet of seasoning mix! Who does that? You never just dump in everything. Add some then taste. I bet she could have used half & been fine. Not her. NO RESTRICTIONS Darlene used it all.
This is the problem with all of them. Unless food is highly salty or sweet, they won't eat it. That's a problem & it should be addressed in this NEW LIFESTYLE CHANGE.
This part is going down memory lane of every kitchen gadget Darlene owns. She goes over all the cheese graters she's had & this simple handheld one she bought at Walmart is her favorite. Sorry Stupid, we know you bought her one for the Kitchenaid, but Darlene is too lazy to use it. In fact, if she used it once I'd be shocked.
Even the one a sub sent her & she never once used her name to thank her, she never used correctly & it's gone. So this cheap Walmart one is her favorite.
We hear how now she buys cheese at Costco that's portioned out & not shredded already. Portioned out means nothing if you take one each time you open the fridge.
Now she's jumping around with half way telling a story. She made a protein coffee yesterday using her husbands Coor's light glass & wanted to use it again, but it was in the dishwasher that just finished so was hot. Stupid says 'you should use this glass.' It's a different beer glass I guess? No idea.
She bought the Starbucks Vanilla ice coffee you brew over ice, but yesterday her glass was too big, so she's just going to brew it over ice. Got that? I have no idea what the hell she's doing or what she's talking about. The camera is moving from the Keurig to the glass to the stove where she has the bowl with the burned peppers & onion & she throws a seasoning packet on the stove next to it.
The time 2:51. She said she did the salad & the peppers & this is all she's doing today. She wants to have her protein coffee & the kitchen mess can wait. Her sink is full but that's not her job, it's the dishwashers. They are also going to do some more stuff on this day.
What stuff? And what does she mean by 'more?' She didn't show them going anywhere or doing anything. In fact, we haven't seen anyone. Her house is a mess but the coffee is more important it seems.
The Starbucks coffee goes in the beer glass, then a Fairlife vanilla Protein coffee & that cold foam whipped cream. She says it's very sweet, but we all know there are NO RESTRICTIONS at her house.
Again, we see no one during this break & suddenly we see her back at the stove with her burned pan boiling water in it & scraping the bottom with a spatula.
She shows the other pan from the set & if she thinks that pan is clean, I have news for her. It's isn't. That pan was burned over time & you can see how stained it is. Ick. Tell me Dar, what is Stupid doing after dinner each night? You mean he can't scrub a pan clean? My husband would never just walk by the sink & see the pan & leave it there. Even if I tell him to leave it, he always says it doesn't take that long & only needs some elbow grease. Every cookie sheet & pan I own looks new because of him.
But Stupid just walks past the mess? Guess so.
OMG, as she shows more of a mess, she is using an SOS pad on the enamel pan. May as well throw it out. She ruined it. How much do you want to bet Costco gets it back?
She dumps the diced chicken in the pan & is super thrilled with how easy it all is. She even wrote on the screen how she will be doing this again. Then says something that made us laugh out loud.
They are trying to keep dinners simple because they are doing a COMPLETE LIFESTYLE CHANGE.  No you aren't. How is a full of salt seasoning packet mixed in cottage cheese a change? Show me the nutrition of a light vegetable dip to what you made. How is coffee with a protein drink added & then topped off with a sweet whipped cream a change? Then the bottled dressing & a seasoning packet for the chicken & you think it's a change? They're simplifying meals, but using helpers.
Give me a break. All we've heard from her is how she is going to make food from scratch & she hasn't made anything yet. Darlene is all about helpers to make life she her easier because she hates to cook.
Twice a week she is going to make bigger meals for leftovers. Oh lord. I know she said in the beginning she was making Andrew a pasta bake, so we all know he will get that for dinner for days. How many more leftovers can she possibly give him?
Then she shows that poor frying pan. It's not clean, & she ruined it by using an SOS pad.
She shows us new water bottles she bought because she took another trip to Costco to take the other ones back. Gee, what else did she buy? She never says & never shows anything. But Darlene always hid food. She's trying to figure things out people. I never knew as adults we had to figure out how to drink water. Use a glass. No, that won't work for her because every single time she's been on this fake JOURNEY she can't do anything unless she buys crap to achieve success. By the way, she hasn't achieved success yet. And new travel mugs won't help.
We see mini taco bowls & some that are bigger that don't work for her & those cardboard sandwich thins she keeps acting as if she never used them before. No, she doesn't like them & wants a real hamburger bun, not cardboard. This is when we find out they had burgers the night before she never showed.
I think she should be made to eat those cardboard thins because poor Andrew had to eat them for years.
Back to the chicken where she is using those gross scissors to cut it up in the pan. She has to do this because the pieces are too big for Andrew. He chokes because what she won't tell all the new people is that Andrew is starving at home, & when he does get dinner, he eats it fast.
Oh, she doesn't like these scissors all of a sudden & added new ones to her Walmart cart. Man, how much more food can she hoard? She shows the nutrition label of the wraps & bowls & blah, blah, blah, she doesn't want any feedback, she's just showing you.
You got that people? KEEP YOUR DAMN OPINIONS TO YOURSELF She's trying to figure everything out along with all the cheese & sour cream they will be having.
I guess what they won't be having is lettuce, tomatoes & a couple vegetables. But who needs vegetables when your focus is a powerade drink with electrolytes. Hysterical. Darlene thinks she needs a drink with electrolytes. Darlene is a moron. That stuff has artificial colors & sweeteners & sodium.
What a fool she is. That stuff is garbage.
Drink up Dardummy.
She shows 3 plates so fast I had to stop the video. Then I had to look at it at least 3 times to understand what I was seeing. Andrews plate looked as if there were 3 mini tortilla boats on it with maybe grapes & chips? It went by so fast I couldn't see. The we see Stupids plate. He had 2 completely flat tortilla wraps with grapes & chips & salsa. She only had one with some chips & salsa because she couldn't eat 2 ( ) & they were having dessert that night. Dessert? I thought this was a COMPLETE LIFESTYLE CHANGE?
No, that's a lie. Nothing has changed. And again DARLENE IS NOT LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK. No one needs to tell her she's doing this wrong & eating & drinking all the wrong things. Just shut up people.
She shows 6 tortilla bowls filled with the leftover chicken & the fake Greek salad in the glass containers for Stupid to take for lunch & a pack of that chicken she bought in a plastic pouch. She also just bought new little containers with a screw on lid for her leftover salad. It holds about 3 tablespoons of it.
Part of her fake COMPLETE LIFESTYLE CHANGE is learning to eat things in moderation. So she is having one of those strawberry cake ice cream bars. This is why she only had one chicken wrap, otherwise she'd be too full. I have more to add to this, but want to get this video over.
The ice cream was amazing & it goes into the freezer until next week. She doesn't know if she will purchase them again. Yea, all desserts I find amazing I never buy again.  She must think we're idiots.
She is going to do a coffee chat this week (oh brother) I guess to go over this COMPLETE LIFESTYLE CHANGE & hopes we enjoyed this video.
The end.
Wow, this is one delusional woman.
That ice cream should never be part of a weight loss journey unless it's a fake one. That stuff has more bad ingredients in it than pretty much anything she eats. Add the crappy drinks & I'm telling you right now, she will be fatter by her 50th.
That chicken she made could never have fed 3 adults with 6 full tortillas boats leftover. The package had 12, Andrew ate 3 & she had enough filling for 6 more. How? The wraps she showed on the staged plates looked empty. Who serves a wrap like that? No lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives. Nothing? What adults eat that for dinner? She hardly had any chicken in the pan but we're supposed to believe it was enough for all 3 of them plus 6 leftovers? What is she trying to pull? And what dessert did everyone else have? Stupid had nothing? Andrew?
I'll tell you what happened. Darlene was alone. She ate take out for brunch, made the chicken so she could give it to Andrew for days & packed up the fake Greek salad for the week. She had been dreaming of chips & salsa for days, so she ate the entire bag of chips with the salsa for dinner. Unless I see the inside of that ice cream box, she also ate more than one of those bars. Her house is full of bad for you food & she sat on the couch alone eating a lot of it. I wouldn't be surprised if she ordered Chinese or pizza when Andrew went to bed at 9 & if he was with Stupid, she ordered it closer to dinner. Those plates we saw were a set up for the video. At no time did we see any other person at the house. Not their feet or legs, no table set, no glasses of water. No shoes, jackets, keys, wallets, phones. Nothing to indicate anyone else lives there. Where are all the ipads?
To me, Darlene is nothing but a liar. She is hiding her life as much as she hides food. I'M NOT ASKING FOR FEEDBACK. Give me a break with that crap. You're telling people your content is FRESH & NEW & it isn't. It's the same excuses & justifications for why you're 400 pounds. You haven't changed a thing.
But I have a challenge for you Dar, put back your old videos. Let the new people watch your old life before all these changes. If you don't, then you are noting but a liar. You are nothing but a coward hiding her past.
This had nothing new & improved or any meal ideas we haven't seen 100 times. Go ahead, show all your viewers how you lie. Put back your videos so they can see how this content is no different than the last 8 years. The only difference? You're fatter.
Now I need to ready myself for her coffee chat that will be nothing but more lies with the added bonus of having to look at her.
If she thinks this is content worth sharing, no wonder her Social Blade gives her a D-
This channel is a disaster.
*sorry so late, but we had family visiting & it was busy around here. I'll check in tomorrow to see what you all thought about this mess. Hope everyone is doing well.  |

Far too busy (lazy) to chop some onion. Not too busy to shop, write things down multiple times and nap but 2 minutes for an onion…that’s a big nope. 🙄
New video tomorrow! Get out the Pepto, the video is under the playlist, WHAT’S FOR DINNER?
