Hey guys! Welcome to Week 2 of our Meal Prep Made Easy series. I'm really excited about
this series because every week this month, I'm going to be sharing a brand new menu that
you can prep on Sunday so you're eating well, all week long. Today's menu is really exciting
because it's full of beautiful, bright, fresh flavours and a ton of nutrients. All of these
incredible recipes are available in my Meal Prep Made Easy eBook. It contains all of the
recipes, shopping lists and lots of tips and tricks for simplifying your Sunday meal prep.
All the details are in the description box below. Now let's get started with our Coconut
Curry Soup. I love this soup because it can all be made in a slow cooker. Basically, it's
just a dump and stir. For this yummy soup we are starting with some coconut milk. Now,
I'm using full fat coconut milk but you could definitely use light coconut milk here if
you wanted to. And to that I'm going to add some vegetable broth. Next, I've got some
red curry paste. You don't want red curry cooking sauce, that is a different thing and
does not have the same amount of flavour. So I'm going to add that to my slow cooker
with a little sprinkle of brown sugar and some peanut butter. If you have a peanut allergy
in your house, no problem at all - you can either leave it out or sub in some tahini
sauce which is actually made of ground sesame seeds. We're also going to add some fish sauce.
If you wanted to keep this completely vegetarian, you could leave the fish sauce out but it
definitely adds a nice, savoury flavour to the soup. And of course, nothing packs a punch
quite like the combination of garlic and ginger so we're going to add a whole lot of both.
We're going to whisk all of this yumminess together until it's nice and smooth and then
we're going to add our veg. So, I'm adding some finely sliced onion, some beautiful red
bell pepper and some mushrooms that I've just sliced really thinly. I'm doing this with
cremini mushrooms but feel free to do this with white button mushrooms instead. Finally,
I'm going to add some firm tofu that I've just cut into cubes. If you didn't want to
use tofu in this recipe, you could definitely add some cooked chicken or some shrimp instead.
Those would both work but I highly recommend you add them at the end of cooking as opposed
to at the beginning. So we're going to stir all of this awesomeness together and it's
this simple. You can either do this low over 6 to 8 hours or on high for 2 or 3 hours.
Your house is going to smell amazing, trust me. And after about 2 and half hours on high
you have this gorgeous concoction. I'm just going to finish this off really simply with
some fresh lime juice; this is just going to brighten up all of those flavours. And
some freshly chopped cilantro. I know some of you are cilantro haters but trust me, all
of these flavours together you won't even taste it. This soup can be served over rice
or vermicelli noodles or it can be eaten completely on it's own. It will last in your refrigerator
for 4 or 5 days or in your freezer for up to 3 months. Next up, we've got some beautiful
Sesame Ginger Salmon and I'm real excited about this because take a look at these salmon
fillets - they are spectacular. And we're just going to whip up a really simple marinade.
I'm starting with a little bit of sesame oil and to that, I'm going to add some rice wine
vinegar. Next I'm going to add some soy sauce, some honey and some sriracha if you like the
heat. You can definitely leave it out if you don't but trust me, it takes this salmon to
a whole other level. I'm going to finish this yumminess off with some minced garlic and
some freshly grated ginger and then I'm going to whisk it all together. I'm going to transfer
my salmon to a zipper bag and pour my marinade over and make sure it's well covered. Once
your marinade is evenly distributed, you're going to put your salmon in the fridge for
20 to 30 minutes and let it soak up all that tasty flavour. Once the salmon has soaked
up all of this beautiful flavour, we're going to transfer it to a baking sheet lined with
parchment paper. Trust me when I tell you that parchment paper is a really good idea
with this recipe because the honey in that marinade loves to caramelize and is a real
pain to get off your pan afterwards. And then we're just going to finish these with some
sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are loaded with nutrients; they also give the salmon a beautiful
crunch. Into the oven it goes at 375°F until the salmon is cooked through. This gorgeous
salmon can be stored in your refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. I like it best when served
with rice or over salad or with these amazing roasted veggies I'm about to show you. For
my roasted veggies this week I'm starting with some beautiful mushrooms that I've just
cut into quarters. To that I'm adding some fresh green beans that have been trimmed and
some sliced red bell pepper. I'm going to season them simply with a little bit of sesame
oil, some soy sauce, some salt and some pepper. We're going to toss these all together well,
pour them onto my baking sheet and into the oven they go at 375°F for about 15 to 20
minutes or until these veggies are cooked to your liking. So good! Just get yourself
a fork man. These veggies can be stored in the fridge for 4 to 5 days and they are delicious
eaten hot or cold, with pretty much anything. Next on today's menu we've got some awesome
Veggie Fried Rice. It's really easy to make and it can be made with leftover rice or you
could swap out the rice and actually use quinoa instead. So we are getting started by cooking
our rice. I'm using vegetable broth to cook my rice because I think it adds some nice
flavour. I'm going to bring it to a boil, put on the lid, turn my heat down to low and
let it simmer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, I'm going to turn off the heat completely
and let it sit for another 5 minutes so it absorbs all that beautiful vegetable broth.
Then I'm going to get started on frying up my veggies. So I've got a frying pan on the
stove and to that I'm going to add some oil. Once my oil is heated up, I'm going add some
finely diced onion and saute it for 3 or 4 minutes or until it becomes soft and translucent.
Next I'm going to add my peas and carrots. I'm cheating with frozen peas and carrots
here. If you want to go ahead and use fresh, by all means, it's totally cool. While all
of this is getting hot and bothered, I'm just going to whisk up 2 eggs. Now that my veggies
are nice and soft, it's time to add my garlic. I'm going to cook the garlic for about 30
seconds before mixing all the veggies and then tossing them over to one side. On the
other side of the pan I'm going to scramble a few eggs. If you want to keep this recipe
vegan, leave the eggs out - not a problem at all. We're simply going to scramble our
eggs and mix them with our veggies. Then it's time to add our rice. My rice is freshly cooked
and ready to rock. We're going to season this simply with some soy sauce and some sriracha
if you enjoy the heat. And then we're just going to fry it up for 2 or 3 minutes. It's
as easy as that. You have Veggie Fried Rice that your whole family will love. You're welcome!
For lunch this week I'm making Tangled Thai Salad In A Jar. And it all starts with a really
beautiful peanut dressing. We are going to be combining some sesame oil, some soy sauce,
some lime juice and then I've got some peanut butter. Some minced garlic, grated ginger
and then a nice drizzle of honey. Then we are going to put our big muscles to work.
To build my salads I'm going to add a few tablespoons of this delicious dressing to
the bottom of each jar. Then I'm going to layer in my veggies. As you can see I've cut
my veggies really finely to create that tangled look. For my red cabbage and red peppers I
used a sharp knife but for my carrots and cucumbers, I actually used this really cool
tool I have that juliennes your veggies. If you don't have a tool like this, it's totally
fine.You can use a vegetable peeler to create little ribbons. Look how great these cucumbers
look, they're so fun. I'm going to start with my red cabbage. The heartiest vegetables,
when it comes to salad in a jar, should always be on the bottom because they are the ones
that will be in contact with the dressing the longest. Then my carrots, my red bell
pepper and finally, all of this beautiful cucumber. I'm going to finish these off with
some green onion for flavour and for some crunch, I'm adding some crushed cashews. These
are optional but they add crunch and of course, compliment that peanut butter dressing really
nicely. On go the lids and there you go, lunch is served. To eat these, all you need to do
is give them a good shake and you can pour them into a bowl or eat them directly out
of the jar. For breakfast this week, I'm pre packaging some Mango Mandarin Smoothies. Now
I love pre packaging my smoothie fruit because come morning all I need to do is dump it into
a blender with a little bit of almond milk and breakfast is served. It's as simple as
that. In this case, I've got some mangoes that I've diced up and I'm simply going to
divide them into 5 jars. If you don't have hundreds of mason jars like I do, you can
definitely do this in zipper bags instead - that will totally work. Then I've got some
peeled mandarin. We're going to finish these off with a little bit of fresh ginger. I like
to pre-grate my ginger because my blender does not handle the stress of going through
an entire nub of ginger. If yours can, by all means, just put a little piece in there
and call it a day. And that's it! You can put these in the fridge and come morning,
just dump one into your blender with a splash of almond milk and there you go. Bada bing,
bada boom! Breakfast baby! Finally on today's menu, I have an awesome snack idea for you
guys. It's my Wasabi Edamame Hummus and of course, it's made with edamame beans.Now for
this recipe I like to use frozen edamame beans that have already been shelled. And all I
do is cook them really quickly and then they are ready to use. So I've got my cooked edamame
beans in the bowl of my food processor and to that I'm going to add some lime juice,
some soy sauce, some minced garlic and some wasabi paste. Now, when it comes to wasabi,
you can add a little or a lot like me. The choice is really yours. We're going to top
this all off with some fresh cilantro and then give it a good blend. And then it's time
to add our oil. We're going to add our oil, a few tablespoons at a time until the dip
reaches the consistency we want. Season this liberally with salt, give it another few pulses
and it's ready to serve. I like to put these in individual jars and then serve them with
fresh veggies for dipping. I really hope you guys love today's menu and if you give any
