Easy salads to make fast craftymom62

Happy Monday everybody I hope you all had a great Easter I know I did I ate a ton and as usual not only from holidays I put on some weight but being quarantined and eating three full meals a day because we’re bored and we’re cooking and we started this um a little

Bit over the number I like even when I’m dieting so with that said what I do is I Go Gang Busters right after next day from holidays being over and I get into my low cal my salad uh lower Cal proteins and all of that

And I want to be easy accessible so most of it’s in your fridge you could do this with a few ingredients first up super super simple this is the premix colel beautiful blend I’m just going to take this there’s not much to say about it

Other than that I take it and to make it more salad likee because it’s shredded and this the whole bowl bag sorry is like two bucks when I was in Long Island and if you look in all the stores they sell this as Italian style Co slore and

All it is is the olive oil and vinegar on the premixed Co sore but I really don’t feel like paying $6 a pound so I buy my own bag for $219 from Publix I take it home I’m making a little mess this is the messiest of them all so I

Want to get this out of the way chopping it does something for me I like the bite and I like the way it stores in the containers and it absorbs better because what I’m doing I think cutting into the pre-cut already makes it suck in that dressing a little bit

Better at least I find that okay you know what I’m not going to do the whole bag because this is a little bit much of me Vinnie likes it but I mostly eat it okay so let’s get this out of the way it’s just public coal now

Here’s the one I like at this point you could use your own oil and vinegar of your choice balsamic olive oil but no I found this Panera Mediterranean lemon this is everything in it I don’t have to put any other garlic pars none of that nothing

Shake It Up you have your bowl cut put as much as you like now watch me I probably put about three tablespoons to the amount I just put in some people like it more soggy whatever more dry you you be to the judge of that okay P this

Is this is my Liquid Gold that’s my liquid gold and now what we’re going to do going to toss it all up in that delicious dressing and these are the salads I like to keep now when you’re on a diet I know may I get lazy if a chicken leg’s

Sitting in there I’m taking it if there’s leftover pizza I’m grabbing it and eating it I get I don’t want to sit and do the time to make a salad or do that but if you commit to one morning or even an hour at night and you have these

Things cuz you went shopping for them in one shot you’re good to go you’ll see by the end of my few little salads I’m pretty set for the next few days and I even got my proteins lined up which I’ll show you also now okay I know this is crazy simple but

The best part is this is all yours this is delicious this would cost like $7 in the deli counter no and you don’t know what they put in for dressing oils could be vegetable oil who knows could be something really not healthy or tasty all right I’m having trouble my Tu okay

Anyways we’ll fix that lid but this this is a keeper so that’s number one just your munchie Colo salad you can have that with a piece of chicken if you grill something on the side nothing fancy whatever you have that you want for a protein I’m going to show you mine in a

Minute okay A little mess here from that that’s the only one that we really had a pre-op so I wanted to get get that out of the way okay next let me move my dirty Bowl I did a video on chickpeas a few days a week ago and I kept talking about

Far far it’s a grain and I told a story about how I had in a restaurant which is some celery and olive oil and such so here it is this is farro let me show you in its uncooked State farro like I said is a

Grain if I have to describe it it’s like brown rice and barley had baby that sounds corny but it has like the bite of brown rice and the look of barley so anyways it’s got a nice nutty flavor a great bite It’s a Wonderful grain let me get a

Fork I’ll show you this it’s another cookie it takes a few good 20 minutes to cook far far doesn’t cook fast but again I like mine slightly overcooked so you see reminds me that cereal I used to love when I was a kid Sugar Pops or something something with a little bear

On them come close then so they could see see say it’s bigger it’s almost double in size and it’s chilled I drained it after I took it out of the pot just boil it drain it and let it chill up now it’s the fun part you’re going to take regular old chickpeas from

The can any any brand you like get the starch out Rin them okay now we’re going to put about half this is a whole can so we’ll probably put half of that beef it up because I am going to be munching on this for a few days okay save

Some celery these are the hearts remember I told you I Sav them for this particular thing when I break down my celery that’s about three medium stalks okay start Ping up my dirties over here now I’m going to share all these little condiments from here that I’ve chopped

Up pre- wise little part parsley you could come closer and watch this salad develop a little bit of parsley this is chopped shallots put a little bit of those cuz we’re sharing them coming up next and this is fresh garlic through press these are three clothes here so let’s

Say if I could take about one one clo from that borrow it okay now we’re not going to use any pre-made with this with this we’re going to go right with the salt a little bit not much salt pepper my pepper I mix and match I do this

Sometimes I don’t have enough fresh garlic or I don’t have any at all I use the powder sometimes if I want a little extra garlic flavor without all the grains and little Cho pieces I’ll put a little bit of garlic powder just for that extra garlic taste okay this is

What I got here onion a little bit of onion powder very little because we want the garlic to dominate here okay that now take some good olive oil okay now at this point if you wanted to keep it it could go both ways it

Could go hot and it could go cold I like it cold if you were going to have it hot you’d stop at this point and then you’d microwave it as a side dish with a piece of chicken or such I like it cold C so

I’m going to add lemon I’m going to put the Citrus now lemon you could use balsamic you could use any Citrus or white vinegar apple cider vinegar whatever you like I like the lemon in this keeps it all fresh it’s good stuff a little bit more okay that’s still good and there it

Is it’s done salad number two be munching on this and this is more filling it’s got the grain this is more of a complete like a I say if I wanted to just have this for dinner tonight A nice size Bowl I would and that’s that

Healthy low cow got my protein my beans this is a great Bean when you want to beef up on something light like this and feel full okay that’s it it’s delicious now I love this chilled I personally haven’t eaten it warm I’ve had it room temperature and I still like it with a

Little bit of lemon or citr okay so that’s number two let’s get that in here a lot of this stuff is going to come out of your pantry I I have a good Pantry well stocked I’ve been watching Food Network for 25 years I learned from

All of them from very early on how to have a good Pantry a lot of canned beans and Grains I didn’t even know what faroh was I love saying that I say it all the time I didn’t know what faroh was until umada is one of my I’m one of her

Biggest fans she makes a a Farro Salad to make really good that’s number two there she is oh no tupp away trouble issues okay so that’s one two moving on okay next we’re going to do a little Seafood I had some shrimp in the fridge I always have shrimp in the freezer I

Think I’ve said that always have shrimp we got some celery some little Tomatoes diced up any kind you want I’m just I grabbed what I had left in my fridge we get a bowl to mix this okay all right here we go salad number three shrimp freeze the shrimp defrosted

Them boiled them up a minute and you see I have them here on ice so they get a a pre-art to chilling thing is all wet okay so that’s your base it’s your fresh frozen shrimp cooked defrosted and cooked okay now I did another video and

I talked on and on about how I dissect my celery when I get home I know it sounds corny and crazy but it works because I never hardly use these the leaves they were on when I cut the celery for the chickpeas these were in my bag you see my little bag there

That’s still what I have left after making like five celery dishes and I’m going to use the leaves in here because they look nice with the shrimp look at that that’s beautiful okay we’ll put those in the tomatoes okay we going to share again we’re going to take some of the

Garlic little bit of the shallots little bit of the parsley fresh and again we’re going to stay simple with this some seasoning some pepper some salt I use kosher salt it seems like a lot it’s just that my shaker doesn’t come out very heavily and I do like a little bit more salt

Than average don’t need onion in this cuz I want the garlic I’m going to do a little bit of chili flake get a little spicy something different which is very good for you okay our olive oil good olive oil and this is only cold you don’t want

To warm this up this isn’t that kind of a shrimp salad this is nice cold shrimp salad and we’re going to do some lemon juice okay I know got a pit in there should do what they taught me you know how to do this okay let me get that pit

Out so that’ll drive me nuts okay I like a little bit more lemon good stuff okay Dy my hands here they’re full of lemon lemon and CER salt is a good uh abrasive to clean your cutting board it’s a little tip I learned along the way

Okay now look at that tell me this isn’t scrumptious come in and show them B this may be one of our fun pictures okay beautiful all right okay that’s salad three right right now for this we going to give it a fancy glass container cuz it’s a fancy salad it’s

Shrimp let’s do that okay I love this I love to eat like this a lot of way I would say normally because I do I mean I’ll be back next week fetuccini but I love to eat like this when I’m cutting calories I want to

Get a health boost because I ate a bunch of carbs and junk over the last week especially so I mean like I said I’m a little over the mountain on my numbers with my weight that keep me happy but that’s to said whatever keeps you happy and as always if you’re allergic

To anything in this video that you’ve seen please you know go on your own advice do not eat any ingredients you’re allergic to or don’t try something new for a first time just check okay so that’s that salad number three that’s be like a nice entree salad

Okay now another super super silly fast one it’s fast and super easy but I got to share it because I’ve been eating this my whole life another one of my mom’s favorites now she just put where is it salt pepper garlic powder and that’s it an olive oil okay salt black pepper

Okay A little bit of garlic powder a little bit more than a little here because this is all you’re putting on it w these are just like I said liby’s French style green beans I don’t do this with any other Bean because I’ve tried it and it doesn’t have the same taste

Taste is not the same bite it’s a different experience completely you want the French bean for this any brand it could be Libby Green Giant let’s get some olive oil okay now this is an excellent one that goes both ways I know that’s going to sound corny saying that all day but

This is the way my mom did it if we were having something hot she would Heat this they would be heated in the microwave or on the stove top and then she do the simple seasoning salt pepper garlic powder and olive oil warmed up this takes these canned bean beans to another

Level delicious but they also go cold and that’s what I want them I want things I could grab out of the refrigerator in a pinch now if I wanted I could use the Panera but I’m going to have that taste elsewhere so here I’m going to use a little bit of

Balsamic cuz I like this this is Rich and it’s a simple dish there’s not much going on here okay this is trust me if you ever just don’t have Salam in the house and you want something cold and refreshing with your piece of chicken or your hamburger

With no bun this is a taker this one’s good and like I said me I’ll eat this whole thing for lunch so that’ll be gone okay and I have leftover gabano beans from the other dishes I’ll probably throw them in and just have them together it couldn’t this is the super super

Fast but worth the worth the mention worth the show it’s not like I’m showing you magic here but kind of am because a lot of people pass canned foods by E that Str beans in a can these are delicious and like I said please if

You try it use the excuse me the French beans okay so it’s salad four right that’s it I got pretty much all my salads for the day for the week and what I’m going to show you is what I do for proteins I boiled up okay that boiled up some our boiled eggs

Six of those now my proteins of choice cuz I don’t want to go on chicken for another two or three days I always have some organic canned chicken like I’m said I don’t want to use any cooked chicken I don’t want to go grilling anything so I have the canned chicken if

I want to open that up I have some wonderful tuna fish always in my pantry these things sit and live with me forever I happen to be one of those people that love sardines boneless skinless so that’s another great protein and these are low calorie they’re better

Than you know meat and I’m not good with the portion discipline if they say just have 3 o I think it’s the Palm in your hand I I I have the Palm I can’t so also if you’re feing and you do this for three days like sometimes I do and they

Say I got to have a pasta I forget this low cal stuff what I do is I have a low cal pasta if there is such a thing I believe it pesto and pasta is good I think one cup of cooked pasta is 200 calories and if you would add uh yeah

This is a/4 cup so let’s say you could cut this into a serving of 100 calories 300 there you go all right and that’s about it I have four delicious cold salads that are flexible I have my proteins and hopefully I’ll be looking thinner in 3 4 days I’ll be back with

Some fet next few days bye right
