Skinnytaste Meal Plan (December 2-December 8)

A free 7-day flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and WW Points.

Meal Plan

I hope everyone had a safe, happy holiday spent with loved ones. I also hoped you enjoyed some of my new recipes, let me know which ones were your favorites!

WW has changed their plan to now include a Blue, Purple and Green Plan. All the recipes on my blog are updated for the Blue plan. I’ve been updating all my recipes (over 2000) and have complete 2019 with the other two colors, and I am working my way down so please be patient.

Why Should Everyone Meal Plan?

Meal planning is a great way to organize your meals for the week ahead. You also save time and money in the supermarket! And of course, planning ahead helps you stick to your goals!

About The Meal Plan

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!

Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2019! There was a print error last year, but it’s perfect now! You can order it here!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated WW Blue SP for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.

And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

Instant Pot Sweet Potato Casserole

You can easily make this ahead of time; bake when ready to serve with toasted marshmallows + a pecan streusel topping!

Sweet potato casserole. A low-key guilty pleasure of mine during the holidays.

No wait, it’s really the slightly burnt, crispy mini marshmallows and the crunchy, buttery, sweet pecan streusel on top with just the tiniest bit of mashed sweet potato in the mix. Yup, that’s what we’re looking for here.

And with the help of the pressure cooker, your sweet potatoes will be ready to be mashed in just 8 minutes (no pre-boiling, no nothing), leaving you free valuable oven and stovetop space as you prep for the rest of your holiday dishes.

You can also prep your mashed sweet potato mixture the night before, leaving you to top it off with the streusel topping and mini marshmallows right before baking, probably when your turkey leaves the oven to rest.

Simply take it out of the fridge and bake. The potatoes will be wonderfully warm and tender, leaving you the aroma of all that cinnamon-pecan-Fall-chunky-sweater-weather heaven.

No Knead Cheese Bread

First of all, how good is warm, crusty, soup-dunkable bread.

Secondly, take that and times-it by 100 because how good is warm, crusty, soup-dunkable CHEESE bread. Remember this life-changing No Knead Bread? Let’s take it next-level.

We’re talking a beautiful loaf of cheese bread that you MADE, you boss baker you! With your own two hands. Your own two clean hands that didn’t need to do anything fancy except hold a bowl and a wooden spoon.

This cheese bread is soup’s best friend. It is crusty and golden on the outside – enough to really crackle when you tear into it – but the inside is pillowy and soft with an appropriate amount of density from that melted cheese holding it all down. Please put down all the knives and just pull it apart with your hands in hot, steaming chunks. It’s a rustic, hands-on bread and it doesn’t need you to pretend.

I don’t make homemade bread, you say? A) I understand you because I am you, and B) This one is different. You can make this bread.

Here’s How to Make No Knead Cheese Bread:

Step 1: Stir up a dough – with a wooden spoon is perfect. Work a little cheese in there. Cover and let it rest.

Step 2: Now it’s puffy and loose, so just roll it out and onto a piece of parchment. Bake it in a Dutch Oven with a tight-fitting lid, and finish without the lid to get it browned.

Step 3: Tear into it. Dunk it. Butter it. Butter and salt it. Dunk it again. Impress your friends and family because you are a now a person who makes homemade cheese bread.

Grab your soup bowls. Put on your sweaters.

No Knead Cheese Bread season is upon us!

• Author: Lindsay
• Prep Time: 12 hours
• Cook Time: 30 minutes
• Total Time: 12 hours 30 minutes
• Yield: 6 servings

Print Recipe

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 1/4 cups room temperature water
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 cup shredded cheese of choice

---

Instructions

1. DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl, with something basic like a wooden spoon, combine the flour, salt, and yeast together until mixed. Stir in the water and olive oil until a chunky, thick dough forms. If it needs a little more water, add just a few more tablespoons. Gently stir in the cheese. It’s gonna look scrappy and weird and you’re going to question me, but just you wait.
2. REST: That’s it. You don’t have to touch a thing. Just cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap, or a towel, and let it rest for 12-18 hours at room temperature. Overnight is ideal.
3. BAKE: When it’s baking time, preheat the oven to 450. Stick a 6 quart Dutch Oven (or similar) in the oven for about 30 minutes to preheat. At this point, the dough should be big and puffy and pretty loose, with little bubbles in it. Gently scrape the dough out onto a well-floured surface. (Remember: NO KNEAD.) Gently shape it into a ball with flour on the outside, set on a piece of parchment, and wait for your pan to heat up.
4. BAKE: Lift the dough and parchment together into the pan. Bake, covered with a tight fitting lid, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake another 10-15 minutes to get the exterior nice and golden brown and crispy. Now start breaking chunks off, admiring the cheesiness, spreading with butter and salt, and dunking in all your best soups. THIS IS LIVING!

---

Notes

I like to use cheddar cheese, white cheddar cheese, pepperjack cheese, and Gruyere cheese. All make for a differently-flavored and slightly differently textured bread! All are delicious!

Pumpkin Spice Waffles

The best breakfast! Crispy golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside. You’ll seriously want to make this all year long! SO GOOD.

As soon as the weather turns cold (and believe me, it turns very cold very quickly in Chicago, snowing on Halloween!), I am legit pumpkin-everything.

I am all about that PSL, pumpkin bread, pumpkin French toast, pumpkin anything. You name it. Anything with pumpkin, I AM THERE. And I am all over these pumpkin spice waffles.

Seriously. That sheet pan of pumpkin waffles up above? ALL MINE.

Made with buttermilk, pumpkin puree, and all that is good with pumpkin pie spice, this is truly the best breakfast one can ask for this Fall. Serve with warm maple syrup, or if you really want to go that extra mile, dollops of homemade whipped cream will go a very long way, garnished with cinnamon.

Freeze in individual servings to indulge all the pumpkin glory even after pumpkin season is long over!

A free 7-day flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and WW Points.

Meal Plan

I know that this upcoming week is a crazy one for many of us, so I tried to keep the beginning of the week pretty simple and then incorporated some of my Thankgsiving recipes so that we can all use up those leftovers! I have a long list of things to be thankful for, and all of you are on that list. I wish all of you a happy holiday!
