 Hi friends welcome back to my channel and welcome back to another weekly ww meal prep. It is fall I'm feeling it so my meal prep for my sweet treat is so delicious and full of pumpkin spice breakfast amazing lunch amazing feeling some salads this week I have a great copycat recipe coming your way so if you want to see what I am preparing for my breakfast my lunch and that pumpkin fall sweet treat just keep watching for breakfast this week I'm going to be making a comfort food breakfast casserole I have been craving comfort food something warm in the morning the weather has changed it's cooler out so I'm going to have this casserole and I'm going to pair it with just some fruit for a pretty quick and simple breakfast so let me show you what's in this casserole so first you're going to need some green onions I already had some cut up in my fridge so that was easy some milk or milk alternative of your choice I'm going to be using this carb master milk from Kroger whatever protein source you want to add to your casserole you can do bacon ham whatever you want but I'm going to go with these jimmy dean fully cooked sausage crumbles only because that you can have a lot of them for a low amount of smart points some 90 calorie crescent rolls salt pepper and then I'm going to be using the dax original red seasoning I love dax all of dax seasonings are zero salt all natural no msg no weird anything in their seasonings literally as natural as natural can be so this particular one which I really like has dehydrated garlic paprika and a little bit of anti-caking agent that's it so it does have a little bit of a kick but just enough to give a little bit of extra flavor to your meal I literally love dax if you're looking for something that doesn't have any sodium that's great before weigh-in day dax is definitely the way to go if you're interested I do have a 10% off discount code I will put it here on the screen for you that will give you 10% off and free shipping they have over 20 seasonings I love all of them I use them a lot so today we're going to go with some dax original red highly recommend I'm also going to do cheese half light Mexican blend from Trader Joe's and half fat free that will just cut down on the points for the casserole and of course you're going to need some eggs so let's get started on my breakfast so to get started on our casserole you're going to need a large bowl because everything is going to go into the one bowl five eggs one quarter cup of milk and your biscuits so the first thing that we're going to do is go ahead and crack all five of our eggs into our bowl add our quarter cup of milk and then we're actually going to take our biscuits and with some scissors we're just going to cut them into smaller chunks and add them to our bowl once you have your biscuits here with your eggs you just want to give it a few minutes to allow the biscuits to soak up that egg mixture yum to that I'm going to be adding my cheese so I have one half of a cup of the Trader Joe's light shredded Mexican blend and one half of a cup of just your traditional fat free cheese you're not going to notice the difference and it's going to go ahead and cut down on the points for us and then I have some green onions I'm just going to add just a couple of handfuls go ahead and do however much you want in your particular breakfast casserole I love green onions so the more the better I'm also going to add in one and one half cups of my Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles some salt and pepper I mean this is seriously so easy and again you can add whatever you want to this if you wanted to add in some vegetables you could do that if you wanted to add bacon ham multiple meats you would just want to recalculate your points based on what you add in to your casserole and I was actually just thinking I have some zucchini now I won't add it I was thinking I might add zucchini I don't know that it'll cook up quick enough in the casserole and then I'm also going to add some Dax Original red I love this seasoning and then we're going to give this a stir and get everything nice and mixed together yeah I'm glad I didn't add the zucchini because look how thick it is already without the zucchini there just isn't enough liquid with the eggs to accommodate the zucchini in there so if you were going to add an additional vegetable or something to this I would probably up your egg count as well from five to however many eggs you think would be best to accommodate what you want to mix in your casserole but look this looks so good so I'm going to grab my baking dish we'll get this into that and get it into the oven so we're ready to get our pan going I have some non-stick cooking spray here I'm going to go ahead and generously spray by 9 by 13 that is the size of dish that I'm using here and we're going to go ahead and add our comfort food casserole to our dish now the recipe says you can use a smaller baking dish but it says that it cooks better in the 9 by 13 so I'm going to go the 9 by 13 these biscuits will kind of poof up as they cook so it'll make your casserole a little bit thicker as well as everything starts to cook down so go ahead and get that spread out as evenly as you can in the bottom of your casserole dish and this is going to go into the oven at 350 for about 25 minutes or just until your casserole is cooked completely through you want to make sure your eggs are cooked and everything is kind of bound together in your casserole looking good so I'm going to pop this in the oven and I'll be back to show you our completed casserole our comfort food breakfast casserole is out of the oven look at this it puffed up pretty darn good with those biscuits yum I'm so excited so I'm going to let this cool just a little bit I'm actually going to be cutting this into six servings I'll get it put together in a meal prep container with my fruit and I'll be back to show you my breakfast and give you the smart points so here is our completed breakfast for the week I cannot tell you how incredibly excited I am so here is one sixth of the comfort food breakfast casserole it fills the entire large compartment of my meal prep container I had a little taste it is amazing absolutely amazing with the sausage the Dax the Dax really adds that good amount of seasoning with a little bit of a kick the biscuits incredible so I have one sixth of the breakfast casserole that is six smart points not bad at all and then I'm simply pairing mine with a nectarine for zero and I think this is plenty for breakfast so my entire breakfast for this week is only six smart points of comfort delicious food cannot beat it for my lunches this week I am making copycat Panera bread sesame Asian chicken salad I cannot wait for this I've been craving salads like I mentioned in my grocery haul so I can't wait for my lunches this week so first I'm going to show you the toppings for our salad so you're going to need some wanton strips some sliced almonds I picked up the unsalted dry toasted and then you'll also need some mandarin oranges either in their own juice that you rinse or the no sugar added is fine as well you just want to make sure that you're not getting any extra points from what it is mixed with as far as liquid goes so those are your toppings as well as some sesame seeds and then for the salad I'm going to be using the Trader Joe's just grilled chicken strips this honestly just makes it so much easier they're already pre-cooked easy to marinate just really easy for a quick lunch prep some avocado oil rice vinegar salt and pepper cilantro you can use dried or fresh whatever you have I just have the dried soy sauce or coconut aminos sesame oil ground ginger and garlic powder brown sugar alternative of your choice I'm going to be using the swerve brown also some sugar alternative I'm going to be doing the Lakanto monk fruit classic of course some sesame seeds for the sesame in the salad and lots of lettuce so I'm doing a mix of romaine power greens and then this champs elisys let me know if I slaughter that down in the comments so I'm going to be making a mix of all of that so let's get started on our copycat Panera Asian sesame chicken salad so the first thing we're going to do is make up our marinade for our chicken because we do want to let our chicken marinade for about 15 minutes while we put together some of the other parts of our salad so in my bowl here I'm going to be adding three tablespoons of soy sauce or in my case coconut aminos whatever you prefer to use I'm also going to add two teaspoons of my swerve brown sugar one teaspoon of sesame oil and I'm going to just add in a little bit of garlic powder and again you know I don't typically measure my spices and a little bit of ground ginger which is going to give it that delicious kind of Asian flavor make sure I get all my oil here there we go and then I'm just going to mix this together really quick with my spoon I just want to make sure that the sugar and the seasonings are all kind of mixed together and then to my marinade I'm going to go ahead and add my Trader Joe's just chicken strips now mine are still kind of frozen if you can at all get yours to defa first or thaw first how we say defa thaw first that would probably be even better only because your chicken's going to absorb the marinade a little bit better when it's thawed so I'm going to just give this a quick mix I just want to make sure that all of my pieces of chicken here are covered with my marinade I'm going to cover it with some saran wrap pop it in the fridge while we put together some of the other parts of our salad now we're going to put together the dressing portion of our salad and we're going to cover it with saran wrap and throw it in the fridge this just allows our chicken to marinate a little bit so for our dressing we are going to need two tablespoons of oil so what I have here is avocado oil what I really like about this salad is you're getting in quite a bit of healthy oil which is great and the points are still really really low even with the oil so it's a win-win and then I have a quarter cup of my monk fruit sweetener because you want to have a sugar in there as well it just kind of helps to sweeten up the dressing a little bit kind of like panera I also have one half of a cup of my rice wine vinegar so I'm just kind of stirring as I go only because of the sugar I want to try to get it dissolved in the liquid as well and then in here I have one and a half teaspoons of sesame oil so again you're getting in a little bit more oil sesame isn't as healthy as avocado but it's still a fat which is definitely needed on the ww program I'm also going to add some salt and you can do this to your liking it says about a half of a teaspoon of salt and then pepper same about a half a teaspoon of pepper as well and that's just going to enhance the flavor especially the salt of the rest of the ingredients and then here I have half of a teaspoon of sesame seeds so I'm just going to stir all of that together and again I'm just going to put a little bit of saran wrap here on my bowl and throw this in our fridge while we continue on making our salad let's mix together our lettuces so we're ready to put together the salad so basically what I'm going to do is just little by little mix together the different greens that I picked up at Trader Joe's for my salad now if you are just using one type of green that makes it easy but I like to change it up I like to have some spinach and I but I also like that crunch of the romaine and then I thought the power greens would be a nice addition as well just for that little added extra boost of nutrition so I'm just going to add in all of my lettuce mixes and then with my clean hands of course I am going to just mix these together and then we'll be ready to put these into the bowl and start assembling our salads we're going to be putting together toppings separately and dressing separately because we want to add all of that right before we eat so that everything stays nice and crunchy so mix together your greens and then we're moving on to putting together the salads so I have my meal prep bowls here and I'm just going to fill each bowl with my greens and I'm going to fill it pretty darn full because this is the main portion of my lunch just make sure that you're leaving room for who that doesn't look very good make sure that you're leaving room for some chicken on top of your greens and then of course just some room to kind of stir your greens as you go so I'm going to fill up all five meal prep bowls for the week of my salads all ready to go now I'm not going to add anything directly to my salad only because I want to keep my greens fresh and crisp so everything is going to be put together separately and then added to our bowl so first we're going to start here with chicken so it's been kind of marinating for a while I'm going to bag this up into individual little baggies and we're going to put that into our meal prep bowl so I'm going to divide this into five equal servings and we'll put it in little baggies so for my salad I went ahead and divided my marinated chicken into five little baggies and then all I'm going to do is just add them I just use these by the way the little snack size I'm just going to add them to the top of my greens now let's put together our dressing and then our toppings so here is my dressing it looks really good and what I'm going to be using is I'm going to be using my little reusable cups that I picked up at home good so really simply let me move our little bowl here and bring in our dressing there we go so basically I'm going to just scoop my dressing into my little containers and I just want to make sure I'm dividing it equally amongst all five containers because I do want my dressing to last all five days so I'm going to start with about three and a half spoonfuls of the dressing oh doesn't that look delicious and then I'll go back and add more if need be once I start dividing them into my little containers but these are awesome and then they just simply get put into your bowl and you've got your dressing ready to go when you go to eat your lunch so my salads are ready now it is time to assemble our toppings so in another ziploc bag I'm going to be weighing out two tablespoons or seven grams of these wonton strips you can have two tablespoons for one smart point so that's definitely a fantastic bang for your buck and then I'm also going to be measuring out two tablespoons of my unsalted dry almonds and I'm going to measure that out actually with my tablespoon because the serving size is actually a quarter of a cup so I'm going to measure out two tablespoons of my almonds and then I'm also going to be having some mandarin oranges so I think what I'm going to do is just take one of these fruit cups with me each day I won't use the entire cup I'll make all four of these last throughout the week but about three quarters of a cup here of the mandarin oranges and then the last topping which I'm going to mix in my little baggie is some dried cilantro now if you're using fresh cilantro you probably want to add it directly to your lettuce or put it in its own baggie so it doesn't make these wet so those are my toppings let's get a little baggie put together so in my little baggie here I have my toppings so I weighed out here on my food scale the wonton strips so that is seven grams or one smart point worth of wonton strips two tablespoons of almonds and a little bit of cilantro you can also add in some additional sesame seeds but I have quite a bit in my dressing so I am good there so the last step then for our salads is to take your little baggie of toppings now you can put it in your salad bowl if you would like but I prefer to keep them separate just so they retain the crunchiness so I will just put these aside and grab one each day so that is our salad let me put together the rest of my little bags of toppings and I'll be back to show you exactly what I'm having for lunch and give you the smart points so here is my completed lunches for the week you guys I'm so incredibly excited so first let's talk about the salad so for the salad I have my marinated chicken my dressing and of course my greens and then on the side here I've weighed out my toppings my almonds my wontons and my cilantro and then I also have my mandarin oranges that I'll just drain and top my salad so the salad itself and that includes the points for the marinade on the chicken and the dressing is two smart points and then as far as toppings go it is one table or one serving of wonton strips which is two tablespoons or seven grams for one point and then two tablespoons of these sliced almonds for two smart points and of course zero for the cilantro and zero for the mandarin oranges so my entire salad toppings included chicken and dressing is only five smart points you can't beat that you're getting some healthy fats you're getting some protein from the chicken and the almonds and you're getting a little bit of deliciousness from the mandarin oranges and again it's only five smart points so I'm going to pair my salad with a fruit I have a couple bags of grapes left from last week and then I also picked up that watermelon at Trader Joe's so I'll be cutting that up so that will be my second fruit and my last fruit of the day and then for dessert because I love my dessert I'm going to be having one of these chocolate right peanut butter cup patty packs there are two peanut butter patties per pack each pack is only two smart points and 70 calories I love these these are a fantastic dupe for Reese's pretty darn close you guys to an actual Reese's it is that delicious so I'm going to be having one of my little packs of peanut butter cup patties for two points you can buy these on the protein wise website there is a link down in the description box it'll give you 10 dollars off your first order so you can actually pick some of these up for free can't beat it so I am going to have one of those for two so that makes my entire lunch only seven smart points look at all of this for seven points for a fall vibe a sweet treat a dessert for this week I'm going to be making homemade pumpkin pudding no pudding mixes here guys but it is super easy so let me show you what is in our pudding so first you're going to need some milk I'm going to be using the Kroger carb master milk you could do almond milk in my opinion pudding sets up better with regular milk so if you can score the carb master or fair life or fat free milk that's the way to go some sweetener I'm going to be doing the Lakonto monk fruit sweetener cornstarch salt of course that's just going to enhance all the delicious flavors cinnamon vanilla nutmeg or pumpkin spice so I'm going to be adding in some of my dax pumpkin spice I did show you the dax original red in my breakfast so this is another dax seasoning told you guys I loved it this one I have to say is one of my all-time favorites and with fall here this is a must have so this is the pumpkin spice again no salt nothing artificial in this particular seasoning it is very easy ingredients you can pronounce we have cinnamon we have spices and honey that's it a little bit of anti-caking powder and that is everything amazing so again 10 off code is here on the screen you also get free shipping with my code so check out dax we'll be adding in some of that in here I just have some leftover pumpkin puree this is from my protein shake that I made you guys will see this recipe on Wednesday in my what I eat in a day so good you guys so just some regular pumpkin puree not the pumpkin pie mix that has sugar so just get the regular pumpkin and lastly an egg so let's get started on our pudding so to get started on our pudding you'll need a bowl we're going to go ahead and crack one egg into our bowl and then we are going to add one and three-quarters cups of milk and again I'm using the car master milk from Kroger you're going to need a whisk and we're just going to whisk together the milk and the egg just until everything is nice and combined together and then we'll add in the rest of our ingredients in a pan on the stove we're going to be going ahead and adding in our sugar what I have here is six tablespoons of the Lakanto monk fruit sugar and then I'm also adding in two tablespoons of cornstarch and we are just going to whisk this together and we're going to add in a little bit of our egg and milk mixture and we're going to do this in slowly and kind of whisk as we go until all of our milk and egg mixture which is right here has been combined in with our sugar in our cornstarch so we want to stir this constantly and then we're going to bring it to a boil and allow it to cook for one minute again you're going to be stirring constantly during this entire process once it comes to a boil for about a minute that's when we're going to go ahead and remove it from the heat so here is our pudding look at this you guys thick delicious yum so now we're going to add all of the stuff to make it pumpkin so in here I have one half of a cup of pumpkin puree so I'm going to go ahead and add that it's still steaming from the stove so we'll add in our one half of a cup of pumpkin and then I have my whisk here I'm just going to kind of whisk it in to my pudding before I add in my spices I want to nicely incorporate that pudding mix and the pumpkin puree now we've got some fall colors happening here so pumpkin and pudding mix and then to that I'm going to go ahead and add in some cinnamon now I like a lot of flavor in my pumpkin so I'm going to put in a decent amount of cinnamon probably about a teaspoon the recipe actually called for half of a teaspoon so I'm not too far off I'm going to add in some of the Trader Joe's vanilla bourbon extract this is the best and we want about a teaspoon of vanilla next is some salt that's just going to enhance the flavor and we're just going to do just a dash of salt and then last the star of the show is the pumpkin spice from Dax and again I'm going to load this pudding up with that and one last quick whisk get everything kind of mixed together oh this looks so delicious homemade pudding you guys nothing artificial I mean you're not adding in any odd ingredients that you don't know that comes in packaged pudding so yeah really excited about this it looks really good it oh it smells so good so I'm going to let this cool for a little bit in the fridge and then I'm going to put some in a cute little fall container and I'll show you guys what a serving looks like this actually makes four servings and wait until you hear the smart points so here is our pumpkin pudding look at this you guys so delicious I have it here in my cute little fall glass so our homemade pumpkin pudding makes four servings one fourth of the pudding is only one smart point can you guys even believe that so this entire dessert I topped it with a little bit of the fat free ready with look at that and some pumpkin spice from Dax yum this entire dessert one smart point you can't be pumpkin pudding for one point so here are the snacks that I'm going to be bringing for the upcoming week this is what I'm planning
