CARAMEL APPLE PANCAKE BAKE 🥞 TURKEY STIR-FRY 😋 MEAL PREP | MyWW💙💜💚

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

UPDATE AFTER TRYING RECIPES!! For turkey stir-fry, we LOVED this one!! It's so versatile and you can add whatever veggies you want. For the caramel apple pancake bake, my husband loved it just the way it was. I really liked it, but I'd like to experiment more. I think I may add more apples to the mix next time. Also, I was wanting more of the caramel flavor. I did sprinkle some on the top before I ate it, but then the syrup kind of drowned out the caramel flavor. I'm wondering if maybe marinating the apples in it first might work. With that being said, it's one of my favorites and I will definitely be making it again! I encourage everyone to use my recipes like this as a guide and really play with it to your liking! I'd love to hear what you all come up with! :)

[@bethpowell6650]

Planning Us Healthy you already heard from me that I use your pancake bake recipe every week! I’m wracking my brain to think of more flavors!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

LOL you and me both!!! Between the two of us, we might come up with every flavor possible!! LOL

[@tmnt838]

Planning Us Healthy For the Apple pancake bake you should try the Ooey Gooey Apples recipe from Rachel’s healthy plate. They are zero points and are cooked in the microwave. I think I’m going to try them for the pancake bake and in overnight oats! I’ll probably make it next week and let you know how they turn out.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I haven't heard of Rachel's healthy plate! Will have to check her out. Yes, please let me know how they turn out! :)

[@Yvonne-kk6cd]

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into not only doing meal preps of delicious foods, but also including the points for all plans as well as all the calories and nutritional info. Bravo to you!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks so much, Yvonne!! I appreciate it. I am having so much fun, and these comments mean the world to me and make it sooo worth it!! :)

[@donnadonner5744]

Hi Kristi. I made the caramel apple pancake bake last night and it was so good. I text my son last night to tell him what I made and he dropped by this morning to take some to work for his breakfast, he took two portions so he could have it again tomorrow. He text me a while ago to say it was fantastic so your recipe was a big hit in my house. 🥰❤️

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

That's so awesome!!! Thanks so much Donna!! We really enjoyed this one too!! I can't wait to have it again...without overcooking it...lol

[@daniellenichole2696]

The pancake bake looks wonderful! Thank you for a wonderful meal prep. Love how you show everything step by step!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks so much, Danielle! 💕

[@fitfrugalash]

I really love this idea for cooking up the apples and then adding them on top. And I'm sure your caramelization idea would have been great! Maybe next time lol. I accidentally leave things under the broiler because I promise myself I won't walk away.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

LOL - Yeah, I promised myself I wouldn't walk away from that broiler - and I didn't!! LOL Just got talking to hubby!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

LOL!! Three of those things came flying out - the one that flew on the floor went so fast you could barely see it!! 🤣🤣 I'll start keeping some things in for your entertainment! Haha Thanks Terri! :)

[@gloriawilliams2976]

You are awesome love your meal prep I made a blueberry pancake bake and instead of vanilla are use lemon extract thank you for all the awesome ideas on following the purple plant but love all your ideas

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thank you so much, Gloria!! Don't you love the versatility of the pancake bakes?? That's the best part! I always tell people the purple plan "sits on my shoulder" so to speak. I do the blue plan but when it comes to picking between two different things, if it's zero on purple, that's what I go with. I've been trying to replace my 3-point pretzels at night with 3-point popcorn. The popcorn is zero on purple so that tells me it's a better choice. :)

[@sherrylovenguth657]

I finally made the pancake bake and it’s delish! I only had mixed berries, so used them. Good recipe! Thank you.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Great! Glad you liked it! You could honestly use any fruit in any of them! I bet mixed berries was really good!!

[@TiffanyinMaine]

I’m obsessed with your channel! I made breakfast burritos for my fiancé this week! You are such an inspiration! ❤️

[@tmnt838]

So glad you’re back! I kept checking to see if you posted your meal prep and here it is!! Love the idea of the Apple pancake bake. I’m going to try it but I think I’ll do my apples like “A Girl and her Phone” did for her WW friendly Apple French toast bake or Hungry Girl’s Scoopable Apples.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I must have missed Kim's video on that one! I'll have to check it out!! Do you have the notification bell turned on for my videos? If you click the bell and hit all, it will send you a notification when I put out a video! :) I really want to get to where I have a set time for these meal prep videos though. I know you all look forward to them. :)

[@tmnt838]

Planning Us Healthy I really do look forward to them! I’ll make sure I have the notice bell on for future! 😂 I also learned some great tips from you for buying meat in bulk from your Sam’s Club hall too! It’s a lot of work, but I’m sure it saves you in the long run. Thanks again for all you do!!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

@@tmnt838 Thanks so much!! Yes, that Sam's meat is work, but so worth it! And I figure I only do it like four times a year, so that's not too bad. Thanks again for your kind words!!! :)

[@becky8683]

My mouth is watering looking at that stir fry! I'm going to try this one next week. Thanks for sharing!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks Becky!! It was SOOOO full of flavor!! We didn't even have to add salt to it! (We are ones who usually salt everything!)

[@janicegudding6437]

Everything looks so yummy 🥰🥰

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks Janice!! :)

[@belikekylie]

Thanks so much for this video. I made a plain pancake bake last week so I'm definitely going to try your recipe. I've been meaning to try that Aldi turkey breast I also really appreciate the links to the reusable storage bags. Definitely putting them in my cart.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks so much!! I hope you like the pancake bake. I try soooo many variations of them. I absolutely love that Aldi turkey breast!!! It's so great to just have on hand!

[@BoudreauxmamaC]

My 11 year old son is watching with me this morning, and he says "wow, she looks too young to be a grandma!"

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Awwww....can you just send him to me so I can give him a big hug??? LOL I will be 49 in August!! If you don't mind sharing his first name, I'd love to shout out a thank you to him in my weigh-in/chatty vlog video this week!! You can email it to me if you'd rather - [e-mail] - or if you'd rather not give his name, totally understandable. 😊😊

[@BoudreauxmamaC]

I will definitely give him a big hug for ya. His name is Davis 😊

[@michellezerber]

Hi Kristi! Try almond extract next time you make it. I love it.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Ohh, I will definitely try that!! Thanks Michelle! :)

[@sherryhosford5963]

Kristi, have you ever made the Crockpot Apple Pie? I made the apple pancake bake and used 1 cup of that. It was really good. Thanks for the idea. Loved the turkey stir fry.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Hi Sherry! No, I haven't! I will need to try that!! I just saw that recipe on a blog post the other day!! And I want to say Joan from Joan's Pointed Plate may have a recipe. I think I saw something about it today. :)

[@roses609]

The Carmel apple I am making on this weekend looks delicious great meal prep as always

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I will definitely be making this one again!!! Thanks so much Rose!!

[@theramblincrafter]

Hi Kristi! Hope you’re having a good week, this week seems hard for me, but I guess I’ll know more on Fridays weigh in. I think my issue is I got a few low point items, but have been eating more of them than I should. Oh well, it’s important to just keep going, no matter how bad the week is. LOL. We are headed to work today (we are kind of construction, so when it get busy, we essentially live/ work out of the car! Talk about hard at times.). Will probably have subway for lunch. Just popping in to say hi and hugs! Chelle

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Hi Chelle!! I know EXACTLY what you mean! I have had times where I have a bad week and it's actually on low-point items!! I remember when WW had cereals they came out with and there was one I loved so much, but let me tell you - I could eat the whole box!!! So, sometimes low-point foods can be huge triggers. I hear a lot who are struggling right now. I feel like I've been struggling, but I don't know that it's so much a struggle, but a plateau. I feel like I'm just comfortable right now and I don't ever want to stress over how fast or slow I lose, so maybe that's why. I don't know. We will all get it!! Sometimes we have to bring ourselves back to the day one and back to the basics to jumpstart!! Subway is an excellent choice!!! You've got this, my friend!!!

[@michellemerwin7872]

Thanks for the meal prep ideas! I may try the Apple pancake recipe with Great Value sugar free apple pie filling. Would be yummy when warmed up. I think it has Sucralose in it, but every once in awhile, it may be worth it (?) 😀

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Oh my goodness!! YES!! I always forget about that apple pie filling - and that's low in points, right?? I agree. I try to watch how much artificial sweeteners I use, but I do use sucralose in my coffee and in some sugar-free things. One thing at a time for me, I guess. :) Please let me know how it turns out!!!

[@michellemerwin7872]

Planning Us Healthy 4 Oz is 2 points; 5 Oz is 3 points. I think that would be delish! I’m going to try it.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

@@michellemerwin7872 Awesome! Let me know how it comes out!! :)

[@amd07621]

Love it! Thanks! This is so helpful, I'm having success in big part because I found your videos about 4 weeks ago 😄💕. Weird question: can you erase the marker on the reusable bags? You write on them the points and name so I was wondering....

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Awesome Angela!!! Thank you so much! No questions are weird questions around here, so ask anytime!! But yes, I actually used a dry erase marker on the bags and then took a rag with warm water and just scrubbed it off. It took a little bit of pressure, but that's fine. I'd rather have it that way than have it bleed off the bags in the fridge. :)

[@geriedelen4708]

I made another blueberry pancake bake. I am hooked on making this instead of making pancakes. I use applesauce instead of bananas.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I think I'm going to try it with the applesauce. I'm just curious how different the taste is. I am loving playing around with these bakes and doing something different each time! And I agree - so much easier than making individual pancakes! Thanks Geri!! :)

[@bethpowell6650]

Geri Edelen I have been making Kristi’s pancake bake recipe with applesauce for weeks, and I think it is delicious!

[@michellepugh77]

Have you ever used the Swerve or birch benders brands of pancake waffle mix? They are pricey, but they are Keto, gluten free, low glycemic, sugar free and really good.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

No, I haven't. I didn't realize Swerve had a pancake/waffle mix!! I do think I've seen Birch Benders at my local Publix store. I may need to try it and see if I like it better than the Kodiak cakes!! Thanks Michelle! :)

[@sandyh8755]

Michelle Pugh , have you tried the GF ones? Good or no? I need something else for breakfast!

[@michellepugh77]

You can order Swerve online from Amazon or Thrive Market. If you can find in a local health food store that would probably be great. I love Trader Joe's Gluten Free pancake mix when I run out of Swerve or Birch Benders.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

@@michellepugh77 I will look into those!! Thanks!

[@sandyh8755]

Michelle Pugh of course I was just at TJ’s tonight. It’s a ways from here.

[@jeanlujan6129]

I am going to definitely try the stirfry with the turkey it looks so good I bought a whole bunch of plastic black containers when I see him at Walmart for eight bucks for 25 of them and I’m going to definitely start doing this with the breakfast and the lunch it’s just me and possibly my granddaughter she’s a type one diabetic so she has to watch what she eats but she just watch your carbs account so this looks like it’s gonna work for me and I’m gonna see what I get I’m gonna start this on the 18th and I’m going to do it and till my birthday scratchThat I’m gonna do this for a month and see what I got I’m going to weigh myself before I start and then weigh myself at the end of the one month so I’m gonna start on the 18th and I’m going to end it on the 18th of the following month and see where my weight is at really can’t afford weight watchers so this is my closest thing to it so thank you so much your dinners your lunch is everything your breakfast it all looks really super good and I need to change my lifestyle I’m a cancer survivor I need to get my crap together I’m not getting any younger and I love what you’re doing keep it up this is great

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Awww Jean, you can do it!! Thanks so much for sharing with me!! Yes, you definitely could make things a little less carb for your granddaughter. Obviously the pancake bakes won't work, but you could work in the egg breakfasts for her!! You are a cancer survivor, so you can do this!!

[@judylogue8016]

I wonder if you add another egg and some baking powder if it would be less dense,🤔. Was the turkey already roasted?? What a great idea!!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I actually thought about adding more eggs to it, but hadn't thought about the baking powder. I may play around with that and see what I think. Honestly, I don't mind it dense...it's a little bit like a banana bread, but I would like to try to fluff it up a little. Yes, that turkey is already roasted! It's so good too!!

Have you ever made a strawberry pancake bake? If so could you thaw some frozen ones and use them?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Hi Rose! I haven't made a strawberry one, but I would definitely think you could unthaw frozen ones and use them, especially if you're just cutting them up mostly in the mix anyway.

[@roseamick6617]

Thank you. I think I will try it. Love your videos.

[@loriandersen2573]

I saw that turkey breast at Aldi's last weekend. I almost bought it. How does it taste?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

We actually really liked it!! It's definitely worth it - soooo easy to just pull out of the fridge/freezer and have it ready to go.

[@momof3blessingsfaithhopelo869]

Love this!!! Looks so yummy. What do you use for your scale, the brand? My scale doesn’t measure flour or cake mixes right. I have no problems with other things but the flours and cake mixes do not do well at all so I’ve been looking for another scale. I bought krustrze blueberry protein pancake mix and it was very good! Looking forward to trying this!!!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks so much! I actually linked the scale in the description box! I just started doing that this week but I forgot to mention it in the prep. I used to just give a link to my Amazon store where you could go to see all the items I use, but then I thought it would be great to just give the direct link as well for items I use during each prep! That way you just click it and don't have to go searching! I listed those items right under the recipes. :) I have heard of people using different brands of pancakes and I've heard some work and some don't. I think I've seen that brand you mentioned! :)

How was that Apple bake ?? Did the caramel taste ok on top Like that

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Hi Lori! I just added a comment in the description box and also in pinned a comment because I didn't want people waiting for my review on my weigh-in video..LOL But it was really good! My husband raved about his and said he liked it just the way it was. I want to experiment more. I may add more apples in the mix. The caramel flavor wasn't really strong, to be honest. I didn't really use much of it so I sprinkled a little more on it before I ate it, but then once I put the syrup on it, that kind of drowned the caramel flavor. I'm wondering if marinating the apples in the caramel syrup first would help (?) I will DEFINITELY make it again though!! The apples on top made it almost seem like apple pie!!

I wonder how apple pie spice would be in this one? Oh, I’ve never let my pancake bake mixture sit...just right into the oven.

I think apple pie spice would be great in it!! I don't know that letting it sit makes a difference. Whenever my grandma would make pancakes when we were little, she'd tell us to let it sit for a few minutes - not true whether there's any validity to it though..LOL
