MEAL PREP 😋 CHOC. CHIP PANCAKE BAKE 🥞 TACO PASTA 🍝 CROCKPOT FREEZER DINNERS 🍴 WW POINTS & CALORIES

[@sandrathompson9558]

Made taco bake. Hubby and I are gonna have for dinner with a side of squash and use leftovers for lunches. I tasted it-- so good! Made With Ground turkey. Just used spray, no oil. For cheese, I have light mozzarella. Just using what I have!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

YES!! I love when people make it their own and share the modifications. That sounds so good that way!! 😋

[@mirandabryant6573]

Just started weight watchers and I just found your channel. I made the taco pasta and it was sooo good. I took some Greek yogurt and add hot sauce to it and mixed it with my serving. So delicious!!

The Taco Pasta was great. Both my husband and 17 year old son loved it!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

So glad you all liked it!! It's definitely a new favorite for us! :)

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Just to clarify, the taco pasta is 6 points on blue, not 5. I said 6 but it was typed out as 5 on the video. It's correct in the recipe section of the description box. :) PROCESSED CHEESE ALERT! Velveeta cheese is one of the things I've not given up yet as I transition to my healthier way of eating! However, you could definitely replace the Velveeta with any type of natural cheese, or don't even use any cheese at all for the taco pasta!

I tried the chocolate chip pancake bake a few days ago and really like it. My husband doesn't need to lose weight so I halved the recipe and made it in a 9x9 pan and divided it in 4 for a 3 point breakfast item. I will try some of the other pancake bakes since this was easy and very good.

I just joined WW at the beginning of this year and I have been having a difficult time finding recipes that my family can and is also willing to try. By far, ones you have done are the only one I have found that they like! I love the meal prepping. I need to get back into that!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thank you so much, Rena!! I'm so happy you're enjoying my videos! My goal is to provide as much information as possible, but still leaving it where people can use my ideas and make things their own - swap things out, etc. I always hated hearing people say they would eat something different than the rest of the family. So, I've made it a goal to make these all family friendly, regardless of anyone's dietary likes/needs. Welcome to the PUH family!! :)

Hi Sandra! I've never tried it using just flour and baking powder, so I'm not sure if the flavor would be the same since it's more of a pancake mix. From my calculations, it would increase the points by 2 per serving (but remember, we all have different personal points now).

I could take or, preferably, leave cilantro....but I NEVER break my spaghetti. I’m Italian and I think I would be kicked out of the club for such an egregious sin! 😂

OMG then that was you I heard!! I could have sworn I heard a loud GASP when I broke that!! 🤣🤣 I promise I will work on my sins!!! Lol

I used white vinegar and a tablespoon of baking soda. Let slat about 10 minutes. You will be very surprised at what you have been consuming. It is disgusting.
