I just went through my freezer my pantry and my refrigerator to get all the things I need for meal prepping this week for thinking about our meals and everything that’s going on I basically took
Out everything I saw that I could work with this week here’s what I got going on this week I have soup Group which means I have to make a soup and that’s where these carrots and celery come in with
My orzo so I have to make three batches I’m making a lemon a Greek lemon soup with chicken that’s in the fridge that has prepared so that’s what some of those ingredients are I’m going to do the prep
Work for that I am getting my lunches ready for this week I am so big on quinoa right now I love quinoa and so I’m going to mix my quinoa and I always try and have a vegetable with it and
I’m going to prepare my proteins so that’s what I got out of the freezer proteins being shrimp flame grilled chicken I had that left over in the freezer and I even had some meatballs and and
Some salmon we have some spinach we need to saute and get rid of a cucumber that’s on the brink not sure it’s going to make it and then I had these herbs now my Dill will go in my soup but I have
These chives I have some parsley cilantro that’s been in the fridge a while and some green onions I know I bought some buttermilk I’m wondering if I can make a Green Goddess dressing out of
All this so that’s everything that’s the plan lots to do but so good to use up what I have all right let’s get to it I’m going to start by chopping up my broccoli into smaller pieces going
To put enough in my steamer basket to go into my quick cooker and I I have I’ll have this on the top underneath will be my quinoa which I mix with some chicken broth I do the powdered chicken broth
A little bit of olive oil and then I do add some turmeric and that’s about it put that on this will steam that’ll cook and we’ll be good I’m going to save this broccoli to use in a dish another
Way while my quinoa is cooking I’m gonna whip up buttermilk ranch dressing and I start with a 2/3 cup of Buttermilk a half a cup of mayo 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and a half a teaspoon each of onion powder and garlic powder then my fresh herbs I have a tablespoon of
Chopped chives as well as fresh dill and then I have this parsley that I’ve chopped up and it’s about 2 tablespoons I’m adding to the jar I add a pinch of salt and then I’m put the lid on and
Shake it all up to combine all those flavors I’ll do a quick taste to make sure everything tastes good and it tastes great this is going to be perfect to have as our dressing all week the next dressing I’m going to make is a cilantro avocado dressing starting with 1 cup of the
Buttermilk and 2 tbspoon of chopped cilantro then I’m adding these leftover green onions about tablespoon of the chopped onions and then a half a teaspoon of ground cumin I’m also going to add half a tablespoon of minced garlic you could use fresh garlic it will just be a little stronger
But I always use minced garlic for ease I’m adding in the juice of one lime and I add my medium ripe avocado blend that all together in my mini food processor and then I’ll add a pinch of
Salt to taste and then the recipe does call for jalapenos but I did not have any jalapenos on hand so knowing it was missing just that little kick I did find this jalapeno hot sauce and added
Just a teaspoon of that and it was perfect this is going to be great on our salad which I’m excited to show you next the salad I’m making will be in this trifle dish and it will use up so many
Things we have left over it’s the perfect way to use up what you have I love my trifold dish I have found when I used this for making salad my family tends to eat it 100% more of the time
Let’s go ahead and start with our shredded lettuce as the base and then I have these Tomatoes these cherry tomatoes that I will cut in half and put all around on top of our shredded lettuce for my third layer I did fresh spinach and now I’m adding cheese to add a nice white
Layer and I have shredded white cheddar cheese and the rest of my fed up perfect way to use up any cheese as well as Deli beef I had this roasted turkey that I sliced up it just made
The slices stacked and thicker so I could have a taller layer my next layer is going to be shredded lettuce and then I’m going to add on that my cucumbers I like where you can have a horizontal
Layer it just makes it so pretty and stands out you can put the rest of your cucumbers in the middle after adding a layer of red onions and deli ham I’m now adding that cilantro avocado dressing a
Perfect Green Layer on top and it has the right consistency right a little thick and it’s perfect and I’m going to add some tortilla strips I had which were left over from old salad kits more
Green onions on top and I just had a little bit left of my cheese crisps that I added as well for crunch look at this perfect layers I love how it came out I was able to use up so much of what I
Already had on hand but it just looks better and I don’t know what it is but it always tastes better in a trifle dish so we could be so creative with this and I’ve made so many salads in fact I’ll
Have another video which will show you just so much I do with a trifle dish but this salad did not even make it into the fridge my son went right in and started to devour it cuz he loves it so
Much next I’m going to make a garlic shrimp scampi sauce and I’m inspired by a shrimp scampi that I purchased from Sam’s and the family like really liked it but there was so many ingredients to it
That I thought you know what I can make it at home and that’s what I’m doing frozen shrimp added to garlic and butter that I’ve sautéed and I just had this garlic Sesame seasoning this is a blend from
Aldi I picked up and I’ve been using it quite a bit I have my two salmon fillets that I defrosted and I’m putting them on my air fryer rack and I’m going to coat those in some lemon pepper seasoning now that they’re coated with the lemon
Pepper seasoning I’m going to put them in the air fryer for about 5 to 7 minutes but first I’m adding about a tablespoon of lemon juice to my shrimp scampi in addition to my salmon in the air fryer I’m going to add these meatballs and the flame
Grilled chicken they just need to be heated cuz they’re already cooked and I already did it on one side I’m going to flip them over and do it on the other side for a few more minutes now that they’re done I’m breaking the chicken into
Smaller bite-sized pieces which will be great to add to my lunch containers I have my broccoli and quinoa already portioned out from the quick cooker and now I’m adding my shrimp scampi and my salmon to separate containers my shrimp scampi came
Out really good I probably would add some Parmesan cheese next time but definitely better than Sam’s because I know what’s going into it I have everything porched out I have some great lunches here shrimp meatballs chicken salmon is is going to be perfect all week I feel
So prepared and so glad to use up exactly what I had on hand and I feel so on top of things in addition to these lunches we have that salad to enjoy all week if my son doesn’t eat it
All up first and also we have the ranch dressing the homemade ranch that I made that we can use to drizzle on everything so great to have that as an extra condiment made from scratch as always thank you so much for watching and I’ll see you on the next video
