Thumbs up this video if you love meal preps and let's jump in because we have some cooking to do. For breakfast this week I'm going to be making a breakfast hash. I'm excited for this because it's comfort food, potatoes and eggs and bacon and all the good things so let me show you what's in this week's breakfast. First you're going to need some minced garlic, roasted red bell peppers, oil, this is just the chosen foods avocado oil. You'll also need some eggs, some seasonings, some parsley, you could use fresh as well or dried. Paprika, I'm adding a little bit of salt and pepper, and onion, one pound of potatoes. This is a one and a half pound bag so I'm just going to measure out on my food scale one pound and then you're also going to need some bacon so I'm using this Coleman Natural Uncured Bacon, it's amazing. I get this bacon from Imperfect Foods and there is a link down below for Imperfect Foods that gets you $10 worth of free products with no minimum order. You're helping with food waste and they have amazing prices so definitely check them out so let's make some breakfast hash. I have one pound of the potatoes measured out here on my food scale so there's still quite a few left, we'll just pop these in the fridge for later but what I'm going to do is just dice these in half just to help them cook a little bit faster. I have my oven preheating to 390 and then let's get these on a sheet pan, season them up, get these in the oven since they take the longest to cook. 🎵 Remember when you told me you believed in something and you said you're done 🎵 Pretending that fate is patient 🎵 Go run away, get it out of your system, come back 🎵 So I'm going to go ahead and slice up some bacon, the onion and I'm going to slice a little bit smaller the roasted red peppers these are all going to go in a pan on the stove to kind of fry up and cook while the potatoes are in the oven. 🎵 Go run away, get it out of your system, come back 🎵 🎵 When you're older, go find a place 🎵 So here is the bacon, the onions and the red bell peppers I'm just going to add them to a pan the fat from the bacon will sub in place of any added oil and help cook those down so we're going to let these kind of fry up while our potatoes are cooking So I just pulled the potatoes out they are almost all the way cooked through they are going to continue to cook once we add them here to the hash mix so I'm going to go ahead and pop in the potatoes we'll scoot it all aside and throw in the eggs and mix it all together with some seasoning and we have breakfast hash 🎵 The story goes little hope of bigger dreams 🎵 So I moved the hash to one side of the pan and I'm going to go ahead and pop in my four eggs Now you can scramble these completely you can just let the egg whites cook through and not the yolk but because I am meal prepping I'm going to let the eggs cook fully Now if you were just going to eat this as a breakfast immediately I would probably leave the yolk a little runny because this is best paired on some sourdough bread like avocado toast I'm going to eat it by itself I may pop it on some bread during the week we'll see but for me because I'm meal prepping I'm just going to go ahead and scramble up my eggs because there's no point in leaving it runny because when I go to reheat it it's just going to get cooked through anyway So I'm going to let these eggs cook just a little bit and then I'll stir it in to the rest of the hash And here's our hash Doesn't this look amazing? The eggs are mixed in It smells so delicious So this entire pan makes four servings So I'm going to get this packaged up in the meal prep containers I'm going to serve this with some fruit and I'll be back to show you Breakfast gives you points and calories Breakfast hash is done This looks so good So this again made four servings So this is quite a lot It fills up the large compartment of my meal prep container We've got bacon, potatoes, eggs, peppers It's going to be absolutely delicious It smells incredible So one serving or one fourth of the recipe is five smart points on the blue plan Seven on green because you do have to account for the one egg per serving And only two points on purple because potatoes are zero So really low point breakfast Absolutely delicious I'll have the calories on the screen as well But this is what I'm going to have with some organic grapes and blueberries from Imperfect Foods And this is breakfast And it looks incredible For lunch this week I'm making quinoa casserole It's fall And I am ready for some comfort food And I love quinoa This is full of a lot of my favorite things My husband isn't a fan of quinoa So I like to make it for lunch for me And this bowl is not going to disappoint So let me show you What's in our quinoa casserole First you'll need quinoa This is from Imperfect Foods This is organic royal white quinoa Again Imperfect Foods is linked down below With $10 worth of free groceries When you join help eliminate food waste It's such an amazing company And they have no minimum order So go ahead and grab your $10 worth of free product And then I have some minced garlic The recipe calls for veggie broth But I have beef broth And it's just a small amount I'm just going to use this Instead of buying another product And this is already open in my refrigerator Nutritional yeast You'll need some pepper And some onion powder The recipe calls for stone ground mustard I don't have any So I'm just going to sub this spicy brown mustard Black beans and corn And then instead of chopping up a carrot I have these shredded carrots in my refrigerator I'm just going to use these Save a step Make it easy Speaking of easy It calls for 12 ounces of butternut squash I like to buy the package Fresh butternut squash from Trader Joe's It just doesn't last very long So I decided this time To just go ahead and grab this organic Already cut up Steam in the bag Butternut squash from Walmart This is 10 ounces Which is close enough And this is going to make my life so easy I don't have to cut it up It doesn't go bad It's frozen And you can just pop it out when you're ready to use it So I'm going to do that We need a red bell pepper So I just am going to pull the red out of here And then a sweet potato Now it calls for a small sweet potato This is huge So I'm probably only going to use half of this sweet potato I will weigh it out to make sure That it falls in the right amount of grams For a small sweet potato calculation for point So that is what is in our casserole Let's get started First thing we're going to do is go ahead and cook our quinoa So I like to cook my quinoa and broth just for some added flavor So this is one and a half cups of that beef broth That I pulled out for the recipe And then I'm just going to add one cup of dry quinoa And we're just going to cook this Per the package instructions I stirred up When it comes to a boil I reduced the heat, popped a lid on And you just cook it until your quinoa is nice and fluffy My quinoa is just going to sit here and cook And get nice and fluffy So to a saucepan Now you could use a double broiler You could do really whatever you want I have added that bag of butternut squash Half of that sweet potato A big huge handful of shredded carrots And a big scoop of garlic I'm going to let this just cook down Until they're softened Everything has to be nice and soft Because we're going to pop this in a blender And make a puree out of it So I just pulled off the stove All of the potato and carrot mixture It's nice and soft We are going to add a few more ingredients Here to our blender before we blend it up We need to add two tablespoons of nutritional yeast Which is basically vegan parmesan So it's a cheesy flavored Really good for you powder lot to health benefit So we did two tablespoons of that We're also going to do two tablespoons of the beef broth Or veggie broth If that's what you end up using in yours So I'm just using the same tablespoon I just did the powder first So there's two tablespoons of that We're going to add in the spicy brown mustard Or stone ground mustard Whatever you have We want about a teaspoon I'm just going to eyeball that And then I'm going to add in the onion powder Again, just going to eyeball I'm going to put in about a teaspoon and a half And then a pinch of salt And we're going to blend this up And this makes the sauce for our casserole So into my large bowl here I have my drained and rinsed can of black beans And my cooked quinoa So we are going to mix everything here In a large bowl before it goes into a baking dish And into the oven So black beans and quinoa Look at how amazing this sauce looks Nice clean ingredients We made it from scratch But it was super simple Especially saving those steps Of having to cut up the butternut squash That freezer butternut squash is a lifesaver So I went ahead and added all the sauce Oh my gosh, it smells so good It smells so sweet So there is the sauce We're going to add in one can of corn And lastly we are going to add the red bell pepper I did go ahead and dice that up It is still raw It'll cook while it's in the oven Stir that together And this is the base of the casserole So I'm going to go ahead and pull out my oven safe dish Preheat my oven And let's get this cooked So we can have some lunch This looks so full So much full vibes happening Look at how delicious this looks It smells so good Again, lots of fall Which makes me really excited So I have a 6x9 baking dish I'm just going to spray it With some nonstick cooking spray I just want to make sure nothing sticks All of the goodness sticks to it And then we're going to go ahead And add in the casserole mix I have my oven preheating to 375 And we're just going to let this cook Until it's warmed through Kind of crispy on top Oh my gosh This is going to be so filling and delicious And talk about clean whole food That tastes amazing This is the way to do it If you want to eat a clean diet on WW Or just in your diet in general This is the way to do it And feel satisfied We're going to have the sweetness of the corn Sweet and savory Very fall-like It's just a really good way to go For healthy clean food So I am going to pop this in the oven At 375 for about a half of an hour Or until it's cooked through Quinoa casserole is out of the oven This looks so delicious I'm going to let this cool and rest here For about 10 minutes or so Just before I cut into it It makes 6 servings I'll pop it in a bowl A meal prep bowl Just because I'm not sure what I'm going to pair with this Probably just some fruit Maybe another veggie So I'm going to go ahead and just put it in a single bowl So that I can decide what I want each day with it But this looks amazing And I'll be back to show you the completed casserole Give you points and calories And here is lunch Let me just tell you I set aside a slice to have for lunch today It is amazing It is so good It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory You get the sweet from the corn It has fantastic texture from the quinoa This is a very, very healthy Yet filling and delicious lunch Oh my gosh, I can't wait for this all week So let's go over points I will put calories on the screen here as well So the recipe makes 8 servings The way that I went ahead and cut it And that is going to be 3 smart points on the blue plan 0 on purple Because everything in this recipe is 0 points On the purple plan And it is only 6 smart points on green Now if you wanted a little bit larger slice You could go ahead and cut it into 6 servings And I will put the points here on the screen for that And the calories Just in case you decide that you want a little bit bigger serving for lunch Because it is so incredibly low point Especially on blue and purple But this is our quinoa casserole Can't wait For a dessert tonight We are making copycat Cracker barrel fried apples Point friendly, calorie friendly, good, clean ingredients I can't wait for this This is one of my favorite things at the cracker barrel And they are really high in points and calories So we are going to make them fit into a healthy lifestyle A little bit better They are pretty simple to make Let me show you what is in our recipe First you will need some tart apples I have granny smith here I would recommend 6 medium apples I am using 8 because these are very very small apples So make sure you do pick up a tart apple to your choosing You will need some brown sugar alternative I am going to do the sucran gold You guys know this is my favorite I buy this off of nettrition I will link nettrition down below That is the same website that I buy my fiber gourmet pasta Which is the love of my life So I do order from that website pretty regularly And this is on there at a great price You will also need some lemon juice You can use lemon juice like this Or fresh lemon Whatever your preference Some salt And some cinnamon Just some ground cinnamon Now the recipe calls for nutmeg But I am going to substitute My favorite seasoning pretty much ever And it is perfect season for this This is the dax pumpkin spice You guys know my love for dax No salt No MSG 100% clean ingredients Very very minimal ingredients The pumpkin spice is my favorite It has honey in it And that is what makes this spice so incredible It is 0 points 0 calories Again clean clean ingredients And if you watch your salt or before weigh in Their spices are great Just because it is not going to affect Your weigh in by giving you that extra salt So this is cinnamon spices And honey It is amazing I am not joking when I say This is the best pumpkin seasoning ever They have over 20 seasonings at dax So check them out I do have a code down below for 10% And free shipping 10% off I should say and free shipping Check them out There is also a list over on my Facebook Group of all of my favorite spices from dax If you are interested in knowing what I buy But pretty much honestly I have them all Love dax So this pumpkin spice is my go to So we are going to add a little bit of that In place of just plain nutmeg Let's make some copycat fried apples So the first thing we are going to do is Dice our apples Now you have a preference when making this recipe To peel or not peel your apples I am not going to peel mine Because I actually don't mind the peel And it saves a step Now feel free to peel them We are obviously going to core them And dice them up I am going to put them here in a bowl So that we can add them directly to our pan So for our fried apples I have a pan here warming up on the stove What I sprayed was this ghee Sprite oil from Thrive Market This stuff is pretty awesome It does give it a little bit of a buttery flavor So I am going to go ahead and let this warm up Here are my chopped up apples And then we are also going to add the lemon juice And we are starting We are starting the copycat Fried apples from Cracker Barrow I went ahead and added my apples Now I am going to put About a teaspoon of lemon juice Right over the top And then we are going to add some salt Because salt does actually help enhance the sweetness So we are going to put just a pinch of salt And one quarter cup of the sucran brown sugar And then we are going to let these fry up on the stove This looks so good already with that brown sugar So what I am going to do is go ahead and pop a lid on it We are going to let it cook down for about 15 minutes And then we will sprinkle on some cinnamon And the dax pumpkin spice These look so good They smell absolutely amazing They are done You can see that they are nice and soft So there is a little bit of liquid in the bottom Which is exactly what we want Because once we season these up With the cinnamon and dax pumpkin spice It will become thicker Like a paste between the apples And really have that copycat vibe So let's add some cinnamon and some pumpkin spice So here are our copycat fried apples These look so good They smell amazing I definitely taste the butter from that ghee spray Now that ghee spray has calories So the amount that I used in the recipe is one smart point So the entire recipe I used one point Worth of that spray ghee or that Pam spray I probably wouldn't even bother counting it It's not going to affect the points in this anyways Because guess what you guys Our copycat fried apples are zero points Zero points on all plans And we can have cracker barrel fried apples For zero smart points This makes eight servings You will want to of course watch your calories If you're counting calories Those will be on the screen for you But zero smart point fried apples Can't wait to have this for dessert You could top it with some whipped cream Some vanilla ice cream It would be amazing Thank you for joining me On another weekly WW meal prep
