I am thinking about switching too flex and I am in need of new food ideas. If
possible could you share an example of your menu? Also your grocery list so
that I may get some ideas. In order too buy more weight watcher friendly
foods.

Thank you everyone! For taking the time too respond too all of my post I will
appreciate this a lot.

I eat mostly non processed food so anything that is cooked from scratch,
last night it was 2 different varieties of frozen mixed vegetables and
chicken drumsticks cooked in the steamer with whole wheat pasta as the
starchy side, on flex it would have been4 points for the chicken, ate the
skin, 0 for the 2 servings of vegetables and 3 for the pasta, Lee

Thank you! Lee

I plan on stock up on the frozen vegetables next time I go shopping. Do you
have any recipes for how you cook your frozen vegetable or/and pasta. I am
not much of a cook but I try. That's why I stick too doing most of my cooking
in the slow cooker.LOL

I am not only a hideous cook I hate it, I do things in the microwave and I
have a steamer, if you do not have a steamer you need to look at them, the
one I currently have is plastic, we got it at ladies for around$20.00 and it
has 3 levels, so when I make salmon I put the fish in the bottom, sprinkle
on spice de'jour. then in the middle level I might put potatoes and whole
onions, just wash and peel onion and wash potatoes. then in the third leve I
put one or 2 kinds of frozen vegetables, then crank on for an hour set table
relax when it is done if you have fallen asleep it will stay warm for quite
a while without burning, truthfully if you read any of the archives you will
see that I am very blessed with a DH who not only enjoys cooking he is
excellent at it, Lee

Typical menu items:

breakfast - cereal or oatmeal, skim milk, some type of berry and banana
snack - grapefruit, apple, or fat free yogurt
lunch - some type of frozen entree (while working) bulked up with frozen
vegetables and tofu shiratake noodles
snack - more fruit and yogurt or baby carrots
dinner - some type of lean meat grilled with a steamed or gilled vegetable
or veggie combo, brown rice or red potato, salad
sometimes I will actually cook something from the WW cookbook (cordon bleu,
enchiladas) but that's mostly in the summer. There are also the crock pot
recipes - chili and jambalya
snack - sf/ff ice cream, yogurt and cereal with fruit, or sf/ff pudding

My grocery list always includes:
high fiber bread
Fiber One cereal
skim milk
salad
whatever veggies are on sale
whatever fruits/berries/melons are on sale
frozen entrees (WW or LC) mostly ones with no rice or noodles
boca burgers
egg beaters
fat free lunchmeat

best of luck in your planning
