WW girls on Core

Hi girls! I need some help. My husband is looking to start Atkins next week. And I am thinking of switching to Core. In all the years I've been on WW, I never tried the core program. I am a very picky eater so it kind of scared me. I think it will be a lot easier for my husband and I if we do the same thing. Also, I've been having a hard time losing lately so I think this might be a good thing for me. So could you please recommend things that you eat to give me some ideas.

Thanks!!!

Re: WW girls on Core

I have been on core the last couple of weeks and I love it

Some ideas:

Grilled chicken flavored with lime with homemade guacamole and broiled plantains

Grilled steak and baked potato

Whole wheat pasta with a homemade bolognese sauce (made with 93% lean beef)

Homemade chicken burgers with homemade fries (sweet potato or regular)

Curried chick peas over brown rice

Chili (vegetarian or made with 93% lean beef)

Eggplant parmesan - made this the other day. I made my own breadcrumbs in the food processor using plain oatmeal, garlic powder and other spices. I dipped baby eggplant slices in egg then in the breadcrumbs. I made a homemade tomato sauce that was core and made it like a lasagna layered with fat free polly-o cheese

Stir fry chicken and veggies

Different soups (black bean, split pea etc.)

I also made this and loved it (DH was not a fan though so be warned):

Core Recipe

Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 365 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Though delicious on its own, our cumin-scented stew can also please heartier appetites when spooned over whole wheat couscous and sprinkled with minced cilantro.

Ingredients
1 spray(s) cooking spray
1 small onion(s), chopped
1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes*
1 cup(s) carrot(s), baby
1 cup(s) canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup(s) vegetable broth
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
15 oz canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 tsp table salt
Instructions
Coat a small skillet with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic; sauté for 5 minutes.


Place squash in a 3-quart or larger slow cooker (crockpot). Add sauteed onion and garlic, carrots, tomatoes, broth, cinnamon, cumin and red pepper flakes. Cover and turn on to low heat; simmer for 6 hours.


Add chickpeas and salt. Stir, cover and heat for an additional 5 minutes. Yields about 1 1/3 cups per serving.
Notes
*Partially cooking a hard-shell squash makes it easier to peel. Pierce the gourd in several places with a fork, microwave on HIGH for 6 to 10 minutes, depending on size, and then peel.

Top with plain, fat-free Greek yogurt to help cut the spice (may affect POINTS values).
