Re: ww dinner.... what do you make

This helped me


I use the WW recipe's online tools. They have some good recipes. You can also use the recipe builder to see how many points something you normally make would be and you can noodle around to try to cut down the points.

OHHHHHHH Thanks Sounds Good.

Re: ww dinner.... what do you make

Kristin, I have 2 Word documents with a bunch of WW recipes. FM me you email and I'll send them to you. I've only tried a few of them, but they've definitely given me ideas.

Here are some other things that I make for dinner:

Turkey Meatloaf
Perdue Low-Fat Homestyle Breaded Chicken Cutlets (2 pt each)
Barilla Plus Spaghetti or Penne - has lots of fiber
Catfish or Tilapia (baked, broiled, or blackened)
Skinless Chicken breasts (baked or blackened)
Rice (mostly brown but also make Uncle Ben's packaged rices)
Beef Stew
Chili with ground turkey
Boca Burgers
Chicken fajitas w/FF tortillas and black bean corn salsa

Re: ww dinner.... what do you make

When I did WW, a couple things I used to eat were:

piece of grilled chicken on a plate with vermicelli pasta, marinara sauce and a slice of 2% mozzerlla. The vermicelli is very very thin so a cooked portion looks like something.

lean cuisine french bread pizzas, sometimes with the 2% cheese on top for a little extra

Healthy choice mac & cheese with banquets baked chicken pieces.

The bake chicken was one point per piece. The Kraft 2% sliced cheeses were one point each but tasted & melted much better then the fat free slices which were also a point.

I did lots of salads & such too.

Re: ww dinner.... what do you make

i always make pizza bagels for dinner. i use the NY style Lenders with plain tomato sauce and fat free mozzarella. i think its only like 6 pts and it really fills me up.

Re: ww dinner.... what do you make

Tonight I took, low fat purdue breaded chicken breast, low fat Mozzerella,and a little sauce from a cup of organic ragu sauce. ( 4 pts)

I then had 2 oz of ronzoni good harvest whole wheat spaghetti and bulked it up with steamed broccoli (5 points) and the rest of the 1 cup of sauce that I did not use on the chicken breast...

It was really good and filling.
