hey everyone it's morgan yates for this week's video i thought it would be fun
to show you guys everything i'm making for dinner this week just taking you right along with me
monday to friday it's going to be a vlog style video i'm someone who really enjoys cooking and
you guys seem to really love my recipe videos so i do this like every now and then some like easy
i used to do one person meal videos just like easy healthy meal ideas um i'll have some other
videos linked below if you like this one but for this week i don't even know everything i'm
gonna be cooking yet i've picked up ingredients for a few meals from the grocery store already
we're gonna see what happens later in the week and i just thought this would be a really like
realistic just showing you what i actually eat in a week video so we're just gonna hop in to monday
night's dinner um about to pre-heat the oven behind me and also before we get started i want
to thank natural for sponsoring this video i'll share with you guys a little bit more about their
melatonin gummies here in a second so tonight we're making a little like one sheet pan salmon
i love one cheap pan recipes because you can get your protein and your sides cooked up all on one
pan and it's just like very low effort in the oven so by whipping up like a really delicious basil
dill like honey kind of spicy kind of lemony just like all in one delicious marinade kind of thing
that we're going to top the salmon with and then i'm also going to make some baby potatoes with a
little parmesan and roast up either some asparagus or broccolini i'm going to fill it out maybe
asparagus yeah probably asparagus or flavor oh we got green beans yeah we don't even have broccolini
but we do we don't have asparagus what we do we don't have asparagus really
okay well then what do i want to do with this yeah that's what we're gonna do
i don't know fun fact i never used to wash any of my vegetables or fruit or anything
for like years i apparently really don't know what i have here because i need like three lemons for
this recipe and i have zero apparently so giselle googled and supposedly you could sub in lime we're
gonna see how lime is in this so we're gonna cook all this in the oven and kind of like two
halves so for the first 12 15 minutes it's going to be just the baby potatoes they're gonna cook
for like 15 minutes then add the salmon and the broccolini and it's going to go back in there
for another like 15-20 minutes yeah that's that so priority number one are the potatoes
garlic powder smells so good
the potatoes are at their halfway mark they're going to crisp up a lot more i
just sliced up my salmon this little herbal olive
oil situation we have going on here i'm just gonna layer that on there
all right so after shaving on some parmesan normally i top my salmon with slices of lemon
which again we don't have so we're gonna see how this is and now this is going back in the oven
20 more minutes oh yum yum yum i think that's done this smells so good this is the line
i took it okay
it definitely tastes different but i would say it's not as good but it's still good
it's still really good but it's just not as good but it's not really good i missed this i know
why we not made this in like a million years all right i mean you're taking my knife too
that concludes monday's dinner gisele's actually going to be here all week so you're
staying at home leading up to a little international trip coming up which is
very exciting so you'll see her every day but as i sort of transition into my nighttime fun routine
potentially my most fun part of the day where i just like relax watch some tv i want to share a
little bit about natural who again is sponsoring this video however all these opinions are of
course my own specifically wanted to share about their new sleep plus gummies so i have the sleep
plus immune health lens and the sleep plus commons as well so i'm sure a lot of us are familiar with
taking melatonin supplements to help us sleep at night my family's actually been buying the
natural brand um of like the dissolvable ones for like years and years um so i grew up taking those
whenever i started taking melatonin the strawberry flavor is my favorite but they also came out with
this sleep plus line that just contains some additional ingredients to help support in this
case either your immune health or calmness so the commons contain some additional ingredients
on screen that i'm not going to try to pronounce l-theanine in a botanical blend that help calm the
mind and body before bed the botanical blend is of chamomile lavender and lemon balm and then the
sleepless immune health ones contain elderberry zinc and vitamins c and d so this just supports
your immune health especially since elderberry extract is known for its antioxidant benefits
it's best to take these like 20-ish minutes before bed if you're not familiar with the actual science
of melatonin it's naturally produced in your body um and it has a lot to do with light so like when
the sun comes up in the morning it signals to your brain to stop producing melatonin because
that's actually what helps us stay asleep at night there are a lot of factors like changes in
weather in the seasons or changes in your routine even screen time before bed they can throw off
your body's natural melatonin production and that is when a supplement can be especially useful so
if you want to show these i will have a link below or you can also just keep an eye out for
them at the store next time you're there and as we all know getting a good night's rest is
so important so at the end of the day i somehow have the energy to cook a meal thank you again
to them for sponsoring this and the link will be below hop on into my night and to tuesday
all right for tuesday night's dinner this is something i eat probably once a week i crave
it i was never a soup gal now i literally eat this all the time because it is so easy so just filling
and delicious and cozy and it is this really easy veggie miso soup so this is gisele's recipe um i'm
just gonna have the instructions on screen you'll see i'm putting in onion and mushroom later on
some broccoli then later on the miso broth and some chicken pot stickers i switch those up too
sometimes i'll do veggie ones and it's just a very hearty cozy meal for when you're craving a soup
remixing it tonight gisele's going rogue with the broccoli
oh
and it is finished yummy yummy yummy let me just top them with some sesame seeds and some red pep
paper some red pepper some red pepper flakes and call it a day it is so flavorful so easy like
requires basically nothing on behalf of the chef it's not wednesday and also making something super
quick and easy and so delicious that is a little cachio pepe pasta i don't actually know if that's
how you say that in a caprese salad ingredients right here super easy i'm gonna be using
cauliflower pasta noodles to make it gluten-free and it's just very easy so let's let's do it
the key to a really easy caprese salad is to buy the mozzarella
that is already chopped up so you just get little slices
so voila here we have that i just added some olive oil some regular balsamic and then some
balsamic glaze also mmm some pepper yeah which is all just said she was putting pepper in i
was like you're supposed to salt the pasta water not pepper it so you toast pepper for this yeah
this is gizelle's recipe it is well okay yeah giselle and the world the city of rome oh you
toasted it this last time yeah that's how you're supposed to do it do you know what people always
toast with the pepper i want to start with this one yeah i'm going to call it our pasta
you want to turn that vent on
into the cheese
is this how they do it
so
so we have some egg noodles and some cauliflower noodles this always happens every time we make
pasta of thinking it doesn't look like it's going to be enough so then we make a ridiculous amount
full of leftovers so that's fine but we just mixed together the cauliflower and egg options
you can use whatever pasta you want and it is so so good the key is just
to like keep mixing it and mixing it and mixing it mixing it until it thickens up
looks so good literally three ingredients is it three
just the pasta noodles parmesan pepper that's all that's in here it is so good let's eat
for tonight's dinner it's friday night we're having a little game night and making
carne asada like mexican bowls they have this like pre-marinated carne asada you
could probably get that at like any grocery store i'm just gonna be using some spanish rice
that is like a microwave thing and then peppers and onion and i think that's it
there it is
remember saute them
all right i just took the peppers off and really quick i am just cooking up the beans in the same
pan because i don't want to dirty anything else trying to keep the meat warm chopped up a jalapeno
got out a mexican blend cheese the rice is out as well so here is the finished product again
our rice our beans carne asada pepper onion mix i always instead of sour cream just use plain greek
yogurt i think it tastes the same to me if you want that creamy effect we got a little bit of
mexican blend cheese some fresh jalapeno and i'm excited to see how it tastes are you gonna give
