    Happy Valentine’s day Karen❤ love it when you share these things with us. Its’ been a very difficult month for me but every-time I see your videos they just cheer me up girl! ❤❤

    🌷💗🌷💗 Happy Valentines Day Karen and Lauren 💗🌷💗🌷💗 Love this video, lots of good ideas for staple items to have on hand!! In our town, we have a major wholesale grower of tulips! They ship all over the US, but their tulips are exceptional, large jumbo, feathered, ruffled edges, etc. They allow the public here to purchase so we are so spoiled! Hope both of you have a great week and are enjoying this special day! 💐

    Happy Valentines Day! I thoroughly enjoyed this video, would love to see more. Not only am I at a loss at times after doing this for over forty years, my ideas have faded, it’s only my husband and I . Our four children are all married so it’s back to just the two of us❤

  14. Rosemary Crumm

    Karen, enjoy your Valentine's Day dinner. Your table setting looks inviting….I picked pink tulips at Trader's joes, loved everything you shopped for…🩷

  16. Barbara

    Great video today Karen, I agree having those staple items in our refrigerator and pantry are a must and sure helps with that unexpected company that might arrive. I Definitely will be making that Italian Pasta dish for sure, it looks so good and easy to make and it will make for a quick and easy dinner.
    Happy Valentine’s Day❤

    I could eat this way all the time. Give me a platter of olives, hot sweet pickles ,charcuterie meats and cheeses… and I am in heaven. This is usually my lunch time fare. I also love olives oils . And I have a thing for mustards… champagne, garlic, hot sweet, stone ground, garlic, dijon. I find the most unique flavors at Home Goods.

  19. Diane YOUNG

    The dish looks yummy, thanks for sharing. Would you recommend a good olive oil. Please? Thanks much, take care!!!

    Blessing Keren, good evening!
    Thanks for taking us shopping with you. The fridge and pantry staples was a plus plus to the tour. You can’t go wrong with pasta and cheeses. Please recommend a couple of good olive oils you love to cook with.
    Tulips is one of my favorites.
    Thanks for sharing!
