MEAL PREP 🍂 APPLE CRISP BREAKFAST 🍎 HEARTY CHILI 🍲 DIY MEAL KITS | CROCKPOT FREEZER MEAL | WW

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

UPDATE AFTER TASTE TEST! The apple crisp bake had great flavor. We really loved it. We didn't have the yogurt with it because it was plenty filling without the yogurt. The texture of the topping threw me off a little because I was expecting that crispiness like you get with apple crisp. With it being oats, it wasn't really crispy. But the flavor was great. We heated it in the microwave for between 30 seconds and a minute. The chili - LOVE the chili, but WHOA that was way too much for one serving!! 😂😂 I would say 1 or 1-1/2 cups would have been PLENTY! Thanks so much for watching!

[@melissahawkins1491]

Kristi, the next time you use a 28oz can of tomatoes, rinse and save it. I use one as a bag holder. Just stick your gal. size baggie in it and fold down the bag and load. Beats your green tent I promise! : ) ( For wet foods, like the chili). Your green one is better for the dinner kits though. Great video!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Oh, thanks for the tip! I never thought of that! I've always loved my little green bag holders but this one was giving me fits this time. LOL

[@nanetteward7500]

I think that Apple Crisp would make a great dessert. I have saved this video and my make that for Thanksgiving!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Ohhh, I think you're right!! What a great idea in place of apple pie! I may do that myself! Thanks for the idea! :)

[@debmead8009]

I made the chili, and it was very good, but it screamed for cumin; the addition of a tablespoon or so made it so much better.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Oh yes! That's the best thing with chili - you can add and remove things to your liking!! 😊

[@robinmoody7425]

Love your well loved pan. My husband’s uncle was a food inspector for one of the big name frozen dinner people. He came to visit my in-laws and she had one of the loved to death pans, Uncle threw it in the trash. She went and got it out as soon as he left. Love your videos and your content. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi Kristi, we just had the apple crisp for breakfast, we loved it. I used old fashioned oats because it is what I had and added about 1 -2 tsp spray butter along with the applesauce .The top was crispy. Thank you for another great recipe and making my life easier by posting these videos.👏👏💙

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Awesome!! So glad you liked it!! That's great that your top ended up crispy. I figured it wouldn't take much to crisp it up. :)

[@sherylm2442]

Just found you; I LOVE the way you split out your video with tick marks so we can move through this easily. I watched you this morning before work and really couldn't commit the entire almost 40 minutes. But with the divisions I was able to watch just the apple dish and them come back later to pick up right at the chili. Thank You!! I wish more KZbinrs would incorporate this. Your recipes look wonderful and I will be adding them into my WW meal rotation.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Ohhhhh, that's GREAT, Sheryl!! I'm so glad it makes it easier for you. I just started doing that recently. I know it may take some away from watching the whole thing, but that's just a chance I'm taking to try to make it easier for exactly the reason you just shared - being able to see how long a segment is and work it into your day. I'm glad you found me!! 😀 Let me know if you have any questions.

[@heatherlehmiller8930]

For chili try using a combo of chili powder and cumin and coriander.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I dont think I have ever used coriander for anything. Is it spicy?

[@heatherlehmiller8930]

No it’s not spicy. It’s like smoky and earthy. Chinese cilantro and coriander come from the same plant but have 2 totally different flavors. My rule of thumb is salt & pepper are buddies, garlic & onion are pals, cumin and coriander are pals.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

@@heatherlehmiller8930 Ohhh thanks!! Sounds like I would like that!!!

[@lindagilpin5415]

Thanks for the meal prep! Your “after” picture with all the food laid out looked so comforting and yes, Fall appropriate. 🍁🍂 Thanks also for keeping me busy for 40 minutes of watching and I decided to walk, march, squat, plank and do some crunches for the entire video. I went from 6500 steps to 11,000 while I enjoyed watching. I didn’t even realize how much I was getting done! Loved the special guest appearance by RED BOWL!! ❤️ One quick question, did you warm up the Apple crisp when you ate it?? I will be making that this weekend. All my breakfast sandwiches and pancake bakes will be used up so time to bake some more and freeze! Thanks again! You’re the best, my friend! ❤️

But we did reheat it in the microwave for between 30 seconds and a minute. Hope you love it!! Thanks for the support, my friend! 💕💕

[@MimiG2182]

I'll be making the apple crisp for sure - I think I'll have vanilla greek yogurt with it. That chili - what a serving size! I'll have to check and see if pintos/black beans make a difference as I don't eat kidney beans (by choice). I'm with you - if I eat chili, I want heat!! Great meal prep friend!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Yes, definitely WAY too much for a serving!! LOL I think I was hungry when I prepped those. We couldn't eat it all. I would say 1.5 cups at most is good, especially with all those filling beans! Thanks so much! 💕

I might try the apple crisp, but what do you think about Can't Believe it's Not Butter instead of applesauce for the topping?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I think that would work great! Someone else said they used light butter and it came out really good. I'm sure it would make it a little more crisp than the applesauce.

Omg packaged potatoes, we just cook our own and then can portion it out, vacuum pack and freeze.

@@joywrzeciona2709 oh, wow!! Never heard of that!! 😋😋

[@annevferrara2781]

Can the chili be cooked in big pot on stove?? We need to get you your own show on The Food Network!! 🎉👍🎊

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

It absolutely can!! A lot of times I'll do that. Just throw it in a big stockpot and let it simmer for a few hours (and make the house smell amazing)! Haha - I'll let you know when they call me!! LOL LOL

I keep hearing about Monkfruit but have never tasted it. Is it different than stevia or any other ones?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

To me, it just tastes like I'm using regular sugar or brown sugar in recipes. I don't notice that aftertaste that others have. My understanding is that it's comparable to stevia though in that it's natural and not like aspartame or one of those type of artificial sweeteners.

Do you have updated points for the apple crisp and chili?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

They are both 2 points per serving. I have the WW link in the chili recipe on my website. For the apple crisp, I added it in the details. 😊

[@TACSmom]

@@PlanningUsHealthy thank you!

[@ruhangintojesus]

Hi, I’m just finding your videos, could someone tell me how to find the recipes? I’m sure it is a simple fix and i may be looking right at them. Thanks

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Hi there, and welcome!! :) If you go into the description box of the video, I link them all there. If you're on a phone, there should be a little arrow next to the title, click that and it should expand the description box. Hope that helps! :)

What kind of marker you use for the reusable bags? I just bought the bags

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I was using a permanent marker, but I had to really scrub in soapy water to get it off. I am now using my dry erase marker from my whiteboard and that works perfectly! :)

How many points for the Apple crisp?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Hi Karlee. I show 3 points for blue and green and 0 points for purple! 😊 I did add a point worth of whipped topping too. :)

How many servings would you guess for the chili?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

If you do it based on the recipe on my website, it makes about 18 servings (about 1.5 cups each)

[@peacefulinspirations7312]

What kind is the pudding? Is it sugar free?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Yes, I like the sugar free chocolate kind. :)

[@melissabishop7353]

Are points on freezer bags per serving or for entire bag?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Hi Melissa! They are per serving. I usually make enough for 2 servings - one for me and one for my husband. :)

“My dogs like salmon and they usually get salmon on salmon night.” This comment deserves a follow.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Haha! That's awesome! Thank you!! And yes, if it's healthy, they get it. Needless to say, they get excited when they smell chicken breast or salmon cooking! 😂 They love their greens too! LOL Thanks so much for the follow!! :)

[@The1952trouble]

I have a chopper like yours only mine came from Tupperware.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I still have Tupperware stuff!! LOL

[@marshakoepp6770]

Thats a lot of chili!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Yes, and 2 cups was VERY filling!! I think 1-1/2 cups would be good. 🤣 Glad I didn't put crackers in mine!

[@clairtomlinson8189]

it looks like an apple crumble

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Oh, it does!! I hadn't thought of that!!

[@razup2323]

You need the mic

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks Rachel! I had it unplugged for the breakfast part and plugged in for the lunch part. I am always afraid it's too loud with me standing right next to it. Thanks for the advice! 😁
