Happy to share that my partner and I got the townhouse shown in the video! Monica has been so incredible to work with :) We can’t wait to move into our beautiful home at the end of the month!!

Unsolicited soup advice: anytime something tastes bland, but seems like it should have tons of flavor, it's probably a salt problem! Add salt until you taste all the flavor. You probably need more salt than you realize. Also, cook the onion first, then add all the veggies, THEN the chicken - the veggies will brown, creating flavor, but adding the cooked (or uncooked chicken) first creates steam, which doesn't help the veggies develop flavor. You got this!

I absolutely love the editing in this😂 I feel like it just shows your personality so much more and how funny you are!!

I’m 27 living in New York. I passed my real estate license exam, got a brokerage all within the span of a month. Being a realtor is my first grownup career type of job. I use to nanny. Really look forward to more insight on how to do social media. I also have to change my entire wardrobe 😅. I just realized I don’t know how to dress 😂

Loved this style a little humor not taking yourself to seriously!

Revisiting this a month later but after I watched this vlog, I made that tortilla buffalo sauce pizza, and it was INCREDIBLE. Absolutely satisfied my pizza cravings. I've made it several times since.

AAAAA I LOVE THE DANCE! It’s so great to see you happy, Monica’ ❤

Yes, I set goals to before the year even started!

I think i've nailed the banana pancake recipe - 1 egg, 1/2 cup self raising flour, 1/2 cup oats, 1 banana, 1 teaspoon baking powder, few drops of vanilla and blend (you can do in a bowl easily too) then add a little milk or water to get the right consistency. Then let it sit for a minute and when frying do it on super low with no oil or butter (as long as you use a non stick pan it's fine!). Seriously try it, they are so good!

Not to sound like an ad, I love primal kitchen! I’m so glad you are giving them a chance to show their products in your vlog. I recently changed my diet and their avocado ranch is so good! Love your chill vlogs 🎉 this 2023 year will be amazing

Seasoning!!!!! Garlic powder, black pepper, even a little bit of onion powder, some curry powder. Coconut milt still needs to be seasoned when mixed with food.

Monica, these are my favorite kinds of videos from you! Can't wait to see the finished renovation. Side note- Primal Kitchen's spaghetti sauce is delicious.

Thank for watching! In this video I give you a sneak peak of the new flooring, in my next video I will have an even bigger update on that AND the airstream!

Heck yeah Primal Kitchen is my fave! Love that they use no crappy seed oils or added sugars in their products 🙌🏼

Love this video and your progress in your life.

you have always been such an inspiration, LOVE seeing all the projects you have going on 👏👏👏

I discovered taping around the lid with a spoon helps loosens it and its easier to pop off. 12:00

Jason with the “do you want me to make you a guilt free pizza?” when you were trying to fight through the soup was affirmation he is the best hahaha

im glad you have plans and that super nice. great work chef

Tip for opening jars: use a spoon under the lip of the lid to break the pressure seal. The pressure is what makes it hard to open!

I simply whack a hole in the cap with a pointy knife if it won't open, running it under hot water to heat it up can help too :) I make simple broth and soup with a Crockpot, super easy but takes a lot of time. Makes the house smell nice too.

If you tap the cap on the kitchen counter it loosens it and easier to open. I've noticed that works for me.

Love a mid-length daily vlog 👏🏻

Love this vlog, Monica!!

Advice for upping your soup game! Your Dutch oven is your one pot for soup, so sauté your onions, carrots, celery or whatever base veg in fat of your choice. Add your spices (powder or fresh, garlic and ginger add a warm depth) at this point too. Then your protein, get all that flavor and aromatics. Then add your liquid, lightest first, like water or bone broth or chicken/beef/veg stock. Once everything has come to a boil, simmer on low for at least 30 min. Keep in mind that when adding liquid, you need to make sure you use enough salt, even if it looks too much. Remember adding more liquid decreases the flavor concentration. The last step is the acid or cream and garnishes, so coconut milk and herb garnish should be added last, then stir and serve! Try the soup again, it did look very promising!!

Loooooove primal kitchen! And this whole video!!!!!

I've been making tortilla pizzas for over eight years now. I don't use a sauce I use olive oil adding Italian seasonings to the olive oil on the tortilla and then I add my cheese my pepperoni mushrooms and onions more Italian seasoning some garlic powder some onion powder and it smells like a pizzeria I haven't use my cast iron skillet though I usually just use my toaster oven it's delicious ❤️

Love the content, Monica! Been great to follow the journey and being very inspired by all you do. Keep it up!

Beautiful as always. ☺️

I LOVE primal kitchen just bought it yesterday

You are too funny. I had to laugh about Jason's face when he watched you cook the soup. You two are awesome together.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video Mojica, super chill and I liked how it showed more of your funny side lolllll I was cackling at one point hahahah

more casual vlog please !!!

Love the pink top looks great on you. A tip for hard to open jars is to use a church key bottle opener with the pointed end and stick it under the top to loosen it, works great.

You should try oats + egg white "pancakes", so simple and so good!

You seem so happy! I loved this vlog. That’s really too bad about the soup! I hate when I’m all excited about making something all day and then it falls flat

This was a great video! Maybe a lentil soup next time? Can’t wait to see the next update on the renovations in your home 😊

Love the tortilla pizza recipe!!! Can’t wait to try. 😋😋😋

Good afternoon Monica. So nice to see you dancing and feeling fine and resetting your goals there in your cozy apartment . Thanks for sharing another great video. I'll bet that homemade pepperoni pizza tastes just wonderful topped with that avocado and hot pepper Buffalo Sauce - a well as that healthy Bok Choy salad. That being said, have a Happy and Prosperous 2023!! and I most certainly can't wait to see the superlative and inspirational content you'll be providing in the New Year!! 🌼🌼👍👍

For those pesky tight jar lids, you can try hitting the lid on its side (like on the counter or something) and it should be easier to open. The More You Know 🌠 💪

Yay you uploaded ❤

Timestamp 12:05 Open it with a spoon with the handside or knock it 180 degrees with the lid on your kitchen table try it.

Exciting reno times

She is a absolute genius and she is very positive and a very intelligent lady who enjoys learning

That soup with those ingredients would be a great soup to blend and make into a purée.

Wow never been so early 😍🫶🏼 love you Monica!

Ahhh, I say it all the time, it's a good day when you post a video and Jason's got some amazing arms!!! Can't wait to see your weight lifting process!

Also for a healthier pizza you can do the weigh watchers version where you get self rising dough and greek yogurt for the crust then just get low fat mozza and marinara. Though it maybe takes a bit more time.

Such a cool video!!!

Love your outfits! Neutrals are my fave

Keeep postingggg

Turn the jars sideways down and tap the edge of the lid on the counter top. It should be easier to,open after. My momma showed me and its never let me down for opening everything by myself

did you add salt,pepper, browning the chicken first helps ,

try running the glass jar under a hot water water tap briefly . that will then help you open the jar

I love primal kitchen also, that buffalo sauce on cauliflower wings is amazing. We buy them in bulk at Costco!

if you have problem open a jar try to run it under hot water. That usually helps

Tap the lid with a knife then pry the lid a tiny bit til you hear a pop 👏🏻👏🏻

a life hack for opening a jar, put the end of a spoon underneath the lid to let some air in, works like a charm :)

Gentle Hack...take a kitchen butter knife and gently smack the rim of the lid three times (different positions around the lid) DO NOT hit it so hard you risk breaking the glass jar. Then try twisting off the lid. Should work!!

Ok flexing for the jar opening was hilarious 😂

I thought the old flooring was fine before but when you see them side by side you can see how much nicer the new one is

More salt. It makes anything taste great!

Stab the top with a knife and make a air pocket (restaurant hack) for the garlic that wouldn’t open

Next time, bang the jar lid on the counter to release the seal. Also, gifting your sister a can opener would be winning! How has she survived without one?

Such a fun video and a great start to the new year (besides the soup maybe) 😂

Your face when tasting the food was hilarious 😂😂😂

Your editing was so funny in this 😂

You and Jason are so cute together. That is all.❤❤

I was just thinking about 'ingredients' myself this morning... going 'lectin free' was amazing for me but it takes thought and preparation - while my fast food is Brazil nuts and crisp mushrooms...'

A hack for opening jars - tap around the edges of the lid with a knife and it'll pop right off!

I’ve talked to a lot of people that agree 2022 wasn’t their best year.🤔 Glad is over. I’ll give primal kitchen a try.

Love Kraft

Can you share deets on the productivity planner you use/recommend?

HACK for getting open twist off tops like the garlic. Take heavy knife or whatever and whack a few parts of the top then twist and voila it will come off easily

I like the dark jeans on you, I feel like you and Shelby never wear them and they look a lot more dressed up

I gotta try that buffalo tortilla pizza! 😮

To open difficult glass jar, u simply knock a Heavy knife against the metal lid couple of time around and voila :) it open

3 kitchen hacks for yah 1. You can use a chef’s knife to open a can 2. If you can’t open a jar, put a hole on the lid and it will release the pressure. Voila 3. When you’re chopping, slicing, for safety pls put a moist cloth/paper towel so that the chopping board will not slide while you’re chopping.

just pop a wide rubber band around the lid for traction for tight jar lids.

Jason was cracking me up at the end haha

next time i advice to use knife between jar and lid, it let air in and you can easily open

I recommend using a brown banana. Let that thing get as brown as possible so it’s sweeter and a little less in your face banana flavor

hit the jars on the side of the table then try to open them! you hit the lid on the side of your counter like 3x. It's like magic.

Maybe add some lemon grass to the soup? I’ve been making some great soups from the HBD cookbook (it’s an eating plan) loved the video. Phew 😅 that was a super productive day! 💯 about weightlifting- much better than cardio training

Question! What productivity journal do you use??

I want a Monica&Jason reality show. I NEED a Monica and Jason reality show.

I get so stressed if I have unopened mail! I open it straight away. My sister does what you do and it baffles me haha

If you can't open a jar/can, tap it against the edge of the kitchen bench or a knife to break the seal

I was waiting for you to elaborate on leaving your real estate team…can’t leave us on the drama cliff hanger lol

Nice

7:11 sneakers survived the war :D

What do you think the second half of 2023 will do in the Northwest? In Orlando we saw a decrease in q3/q4 2022 and then boom q1 2023.

where's the striped sweater from? so cute!

Next time give it a few light taps on the lid with a spoon and wrap a rubber band around the lid to assist in gripping

Monica can you share what planner you are using?

Should try the soup with some curry paste!

The makeup in clothes in stores statement cracked me up!! Whoops!

Monica I have had a hard time this year finding a planner I like. Which one are you using?

nice

Season your soups!!!!
