 back to my kitchen and welcome back to another week of meals if you guys are totally new around here I do these pretty often I show you what's for dinner every single evening of the week I do weekdays because on the weekends we tend to just kind of go off course and do whatever we want we order food in that kind of thing so today is Monday and I'm going to be showing you what I'm making for a dinner this evening I'm kind of getting an earlier start on my dinner just what worked with our schedule today and I'm making some Asian lettuce wraps that I'm so excited to eat you know it's gonna be good whenever the recipe itself gets you excited to eat you guys know that one of my biggest tips is to get your kitchen cleaned up before you start cooking no matter if you're cooking dinner or meal prepping I just feel like especially before dinner time having it cleaned up so that you can throw dinner dishes into the dishwasher as your cooking is super important because till dinner's over mama is out of the kitchen it's done the kitchen is closed at that point and I don't feel like doing a ton of dishes so before I even start making dinner I generally like to try to get the dishwasher loaded and get everything kind of ready so we're gonna do that before we get started on dinner but I want to let you guys know that today's video is sponsored by finish since today is Amazon Prime Day Amazon is offering 25% off of the in-wash dishwasher cleaner and I personally love the subscribe and save option it's so convenient because I can subscribe and save five percent plus with it being reoccurring I never run out and I get free shipping on top of it and this is pretty exciting because they have some super quality products and they help me out oh my goodness I've told you guys that I run my dishwasher sometimes twice a day I do lots and lots of dishes I don't have to scrub down dishes or anything I don't have to do any rinsing or any prep the dishes just go in the dishwasher and finish does the job for me the other dishwasher tabs they have things like their dishwasher cleaner which is pretty awesome and then they're rinsing this is a lifesaver because I do not have to worry about making sure that the dishes are completely dry this thing gets them totally dry and totally spotless so let's go ahead and tackle these dishes so we can get cooking finished quantum infinity shine tablets get my dishes so clean and shiny without the need to pre-rinse or pre-soak they have the idea of sustainability behind this because it reduces your water usage by cutting out the pre-rinse also the tubs that the tabs come in is recyclable the finished jet dry rinse aid helps to get your dishes completely dry unlike whenever you don't use a rinse aid finished jet dry rinse aid helps to get your dishes completely dry something that is a little new to me is the finish and wash dishwasher cleaner I've been using it for the last few weeks once a week and it's been making such a big difference on keeping my dishwasher clean on the inside it's so simple to use because you can run it along with the regular detergent and your load of dishes and it makes maintaining a clean dishwasher super simple to use the dishwasher tabs you just have to handle them with dry hands and place the tab into the main detergent cup and clothes and then to add in the rinse aid all you have to do is fill your rinse aid compartment monthly don't forget to check out the links in the description box to get on the Amazon Prime Day deals and add finish to your subscribe and save to get in on those benefits as well such a great feeling when all the dishes are done I love that look on my counter you guys okay so I'm getting ready to cut up the chicken and I'm actually going to triple the sauce recipe because only one of these chicken breasts is about a pound and that's what the recipe calls for as usual all recipes will be linked below but the reason I'm just gonna go ahead and do that is because I had this in the freezer thought it out and I want to cook it up besides I also feel like it's going to be really great for lunches the next couple days so I might as well get that other way and you know do a little bit of meal prepping here too so I'm gonna dice up this chicken throw it in the pan with a little bit of olive oil and get it cooking up so we can prepare the sauce okay while the chicken is simmering in its sauce I'm going to mix up a quick like Asian inspired salad so I'm not I'm gonna do this by taste just because I've made some things like this before so I've got soy sauce I've got this is like a chili yeah chili ginger sauce is really good by the way you can find it in a lot of Asian aisles at your grocery store but it's also spicy so just keep that in mind I have some sweetener I've got some rice vinegar and some sesame oil and some garlic powder and ginger powder so I'm gonna make up kind of a sauce in the bottom I washed the same boy was using another tip I try to wash my mixing bowls as I go so I don't use a whole bunch of them and cuts down on dishes so I'm gonna kind of mix things together taste as I go and kind of make a sauce in the bottom and then throw in this cabbage basically it's coleslaw mix but it's got like cabbage just chopped up in it and you can use it for this kind of a salad as well and this one is super super simple it's definitely a go-to for me every once in a while especially whenever I've got a leftover roast in the freezer so I showed you guys not that long ago in a video how I made some fillet cheese steak wraps out of a leftover roast so whenever I make roast a lot of times we'll need about half of it and the other half of it I just throw it in the freezer in a ziplock bag and I use it for something else and this is one of the other things that I use it for I use it for stir-fry so kind of to make a beef style stir-fry so I will actually heat this up in the microwave and shred it up to throw into this but before that I'm gonna put a little bit of coconut oil into the frying pan and then throw in all of this Asian melody veggies sometimes they get a really big bag from Walmart but I was at Target so I just grabbed these three Monday nights are always a busy one for us just because you know Mondays I'm catching up on emails and lots of work and stuff so I always want something as simple as it can be for Monday night so along with this I will once I get these softened up I will also be adding in some sweet and sour sauce you can get this at any grocery store this particular kind is at Aldi and then to eat this stir-fry over top of I've got some simple simple whole grain brown rice I do a lot of times cook my own rice but sometimes for nights like these it's really nice to have the type you can just throw in the microwave so they will be eating this over this I myself may eat some of the stir-fry I won't be eating the rice or I may kind of make myself some scrambled eggs I'm kind of in the mood for scrambled eggs honestly I know it sounds weird but this is obviously the sauce would not be keto friendly if you are looking for keto style meals this one is not but it's still really easy one and it's not all that unhealthy I decided to pull out these zucchini spirals I'm gonna throw them in the microwave and just steam them and then I'm gonna eat the veggies and meat without the sauce on top of these guys so it's Tuesday and we are getting ready to go out the door and kind of be gone for part of the day have a busy day and so today is definitely a great day for crock pot meal it's raining outside so I'm going to put my white chicken chili that I made a little while ago and I had put it in the freezer it's one of those like dump-and-go kind of meals so all I got to do is dump it into the crock pot I actually just use my pressure cooker on the slow cooker setting dump it in there and then it will be all ready for dinner at dinner time and this recipe does have like the raw chicken in it so it does have to cook through out the whole day and I think I'm also gonna do some kind of like a biscuit along with it I had made some cheesy biscuits a little while ago that are in the freezer as well so I'm thinking those will pair really well with that this is great for busy days and it's one of my favorite things because then I don't have to worry about really making up a lot for dinner it is about time for dinner I just got home a little bit ago and I'm gonna open this up I'm so curious to see how this looks it's actually sitting on warm right now so I think I just need to open it up I had cubed up the chicken so it should be good to go ready to eat and then I just pulled these cheesy biscuits out of the freezer that I made a while ago and I'm gonna put them on a plate and throw them into the microwave and we'll have dinner ready for today's dinner I pulled something out of the freezer so this is basically like sausages and kind of some red sauce and some peppers and everything in there it's all ready to go I've got it out last night and let it thawed so now it's ready to just be dumped in here on slow and low all day this is a pressure cooker but I just use the slow cooker setting for this idea and then we will put the rest of the meal together later tonight hey guys so it's just about time for dinner and the crock pot slow cooker is done with the sausage and peppers and red sauce in there so to eat it I'm going to actually throw a bag of rice cauliflower in the microwave I actually don't have rice right now I was gonna make brown rice to eat it over top of but I realized I didn't have any right now so I'm just going to use the cauliflower rice the girls like that as well and I can just steam it right in the microwave and I'm being a little lazy but I just don't feel like salting in the pan which is normally how I do it so this is just a faster easier way to make I'm using the Aldi brand rice cauliflower and it says that you can put it in for five to seven minutes and it should be done so it's Friday night and you guys know that Fridays are my day to find something super simple to make for dinner so tonight I'm going to be making up some deviled eggs which are pretty easy to quickly whip up some cheesy broccoli and then I'm going to make those tuna patties that I had made a little while ago in a meal prep video we ended up eating those pretty quickly and they are so delicious sorry the girls are making pillow forts and pretending something that involves screaming anyways so whenever I made them what was so good about them is just the flavor like the flavor was just so delicious so let's go ahead and get started I did already hard-boiled the hard-boiled eggs earlier for the deviled eggs but I'm going to mix up the ingredients to do the tuna patties since they do go in my little waffle maker and it does take a little time to get through them I'm gonna get that is going first and then we'll get the broccoli rolling and work on eggs I've got my hard-boiled eggs here I'm going to peel them and then I'm gonna mix up the inside of the deviled eggs in here my griddle or my little waffle maker is getting hot right now and the broccoli is working on getting up to a boil and mixing up the middle part of the deviled egg you just need the yellow part of the eggs some mustard and some mayo and then that's pretty much all I do some people cut out some of the egg whites and make it a little chunky in there some people add a little bit of sugar to it to make it a little sweeter you can do whatever you want I like the simple way and to be a little more mustardy tasting all to put together and it was so so delicious I hope you guys
