How to Organize Your Fridge & Pantry with The Home Edit | Master the Mess EP 9

today we can

organize

a

pantry

and a double refrigerator. I know it's going to be complicated because the son is allergic to dairy, peanuts, pork and beef, so he can't imagine anything to prepare dinner. Well, let me swallow that first, yeah, one time, John went on a work trip and in the morning the kids looked at me with fear in their eyes and said who's going to make us breakfast do you know I'm worth less in the kitchen I got it. of course and I'm Johanna I love looking at the camera I'm so sorry I'm clean, I'm sorry, like my stomach just growled, okay, do it again, I'm Cleo and I'm Joanna, we have a company called

home

, we're actually

organize

rs professionals, crazy people, the same thing, we have clients all over the country. including a bunch of celebrities and now we are coming to

your

house so get ready, we may know how to clean up a

mess

but when it comes to the rest of our lives we are actually a

mess

ourselves, just ask our husband. kids, parents, grandparents, literally anyone who has ever met us, so he looks what happens when our dough meets

your

s.

This matches the mats. Tell us a little about everything. I desperately need your help in the

pantry

and refrigerator for your child with food allergies. Yeah several actually let's go look at this face and find out what's going on okay okay here it is oh I see what you mean my son Luke is 9 and I have Jacob who is 7 , and Luke is the one with food allergies, he just needs a lot of help, not a lot, but because of allergies, that's important, so yeah, do you have things here that he's allergic to? Okay, so it's not like punishing the rest of your family for what your child can write.

Well, he tries to maintain. They're separated, so it's really important that everything is very labeled as important, especially for other people who are in the house, there are horrible babysitters or parents, and it would make it a lot easier for them since it was organized, definitely, how they like it divide them currently? These things your only child is allergic to compared to the rest of the family. I try to put things on top that he can't reach. Well, I could be allergic and then I try to separate them. There are snacks for school they are learning. take his own snacks and you want him to be able to grab his ex, yes he's old enough to do that okay so it's very important that he can find what he's looking for and nothing gets mixed up for sure okay , then how?

Allergies are serious, so dairy products from him are the worst. About two years ago he drank some of his brother's milk. He got very sick and had hives, he was vomiting and had chest pain, so it's very important because the cooks are going to suffer anaphylaxis and they will need the EpiPen, it's very complicated, God, we don't go out to eat a lot because it's difficult for only you to care. like doing all this, so are you basically like a professional chef? Now you should have a million recipes at your disposal. I'm by no means a professional chef Johanna, once Center comes to school with gelatin in an omelette, it's done, honestly this is like a high-stakes job.

I mean, no pressure, right, speaking of high stakes, the refrigerator is actually even higher, nothing because it's a dairy product. Dairy, meat, pork, my goodness, that's great, well, yeah, sure, let's go over here, let's look, we definitely have a lot of work ahead of us on this one, normally when we approach a space, you know, we have to make it functional. make it look good, it's really about making it safe, okay, it's not a disaster, no, it's definitely not a disaster, it's just scary with dairy, sure, do you have a system yet? I have it. I only use one of the drawers, right?

Here it's fine for Jacobs as Mary and then I have a drawer for Luke with the non-dairy products. Okay, we need a real separation. I think we definitely know what we want to do here, so we feel pretty good about it. There is no pressure, just your child's life. yeah, big deal, okay, let's get to work, we'll send you on your way, we have to make sure it's really safe in the refrigerator, she has a drawer for Luke and a drawer for Jacob, so why don't we do it ? replicate that system in the pantry, it seems to already work for them, we also have double that, it's good omg you scared me ok hello this is a different situation than we've had before. severe allergy, this is a child, yes, they have done it. another son who doesn't have allergies, okay, we need a big division for the pantry, we will need a lot of bottom containers and for the refrigerator it will be my see this refrigerator, this is what I think scares me the most, okay, all the Glivec. together and that's not right, great plan.

I still need to figure out everything we need for the pantry, so why don't you go to the store and we'll text you any other items we need. I'm good. okay, okay, let's start taking things out, if you need to go to work, be careful what we take out, he's like he's nervous, like he's like a honey-nut berry, oh, these must be the ones that a she worries a little more. over manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts, I see how stressful it is, now I'm paranoid and want to see every piece of allergy information, like the Code Red category, get out, can you believe Jenna is like a full time employee?

home

cook I still have PTSD from that time I tried to cook eggs and bacon.

I really don't know how to do it. I totally forgot, so we'll start with the bacon, okay? So you just have to put a little into the My New Year's resolution was to start cooking for my family and become a slightly better mom, but so far I haven't lifted a finger in the kitchen exactly zero times, so I decided to ask my nanny Jamie, who also works at home. it's to give me a little cooking lesson so I can figure out what my kids like to eat it's like skin oh my god it's that right it's supposed to be doing that you wanted to sizzle oh my god watch out you didn't do it I have to be careful it's actually good enough to make me a vegetarian it hurts so just wait for it to get the right color guys very particular about the color and if it's wrong she won't eat it it has to be like a good burning mixture. sienna and chicory she won't eat them if it's not a certain color what kind of child is hers the color once half and half is added should be this specific shade but not too dark nor too light once it's too Of course it's like a real crisis, it's like Apple doesn't fall very far, she gets what she has and she doesn't get angry, okay, my God, there are a lot of Brits, so she's going to eat them Johanna, would her people eat them? children?

No, probably not all. of these they have like milk and nuts oh hello hello, we get contaminated and whatever, but I'm at a level 10 like stress, you have no idea how much anxiety this is causing me. I have literally never felt so tense. on the same equipment that processes milk, yes that's bad, I'm really scared, should we call Jenna? Hi Jenna, it's Clea and Joanna, if it says made on the same equipment that processes the milk, that's fine, thanks Jenna, that's fine, this is prepared and Facility that produces peanut products. I'm going to call Jenna. I think the milk is fine, like on the top shelf, or it will drip onto other things.

Well, Jenna, there's no such thing as a fruit allergy. are you sure the Barkston that makes me nervous is ok we agree with the main contains microwave popcorn contains wheat milk and soy ingredients beef strips jerky is ok I like it physically I can't stand my own anxiety even talk about it I think we're good until I want to say we're good for the next five minutes what's the story about the eggs? The eggs are good. Alright? I think we need to call Jenna. We are hosting a pantry today for a family with a lot of food allergies and Joanne is there.

Like she's out there trying to

master

the food allergy business, but I trust her from the ground up. She always told us that she had a stern mentality and she discovered that one time she had like a piece of peppermint candy that made her COFF a little and from then on I thought she would have to like having speed dial 911 every time a leaf mint was nearby and post Do you think he heard me mmm-hmm? a section for dinner to serve as a baking container. Can I do all the red alert in one? Red flag, then okay, we usually remove as much packaging as possible so we can put everything in nice individual containers, but this family relies a lot on nutritional information.

We left everything we could in the original boxes and in the box. I need to turn on the refrigerator. We love organizing the refrigerator. Everyone should do it. It will literally change your life, but in the case of Jenna and her family, it's actually imperative that we can't have it. any spills, drips or cross-contamination happens, that's fantastic. I think it looks pretty good. Hope you like. I also know the pantry that was almost gone. I think it looks great. Okay, you guys want to come in and see. your pantry I would love to look so beautiful, so we have a snack section downstairs so Luke and Jacob can start helping themselves and a special session on Raytheon nukes.

Oh, adorable all the snacks that are safe for Luke or anything. that has an allergen is at the top of the range, it's very useful, the next one here is dinner, I have cans in pastas and all that, then this one is like sauces and spreads and then we know exactly your seasonings, yeah, thank you, we have a small turntable. happy here, do you want to literally give it a whirl, take it: we use a bit more containers and jars, if we put everything in jars then people wouldn't necessarily know the ingredients, it's perfect, so Luke, how do you feel? the only family member with your name on a container here actual, this refrigerator was really very difficult because you have so many allergens in there, so we split the refrigerator in half.

Jacob has the side of him Luke, view of your side. I moved the almond. milk at the door I would just want it near the milk gate I personally got scared this is very helpful guys I can't thank you enough it's really important that he can find what he can eat and that we can find it and keep it Sure, we literally crawled to the door finish line with this one, but you know, I'm proud of it and I think we did the job like I don't know what emanated from it. I have to jump to the top just to get their cookies.

Oh, I think Aunt Clea and Aunt Joanna might be in a little trouble now, maybe just a little. We just wanted them so far apart. I don't want to write you jumping and reaching. in the wrong container, I couldn't live with myself, I'd sure ask your mom if you have a snack, like snitches give you points, you know what I mean.
