Core foods

I am trying to make a shopping list.

Does anyone have good suggestions for core foods, things that I should add to my list?

Re: Core foods

I don't do core - I need to be able to eat my junkie hot dogs and snacks, but if I had to make a grocery list these would be my necessities

Eggs
Skim Milk
Brown Rice (I like basmati brown rice, it has a better flavor)
Potato or sweet potatoes yum
Fruits for snacking
Chicken skinless boneless
Whole wheat pasta
Fish like salmon


Ideas for meals:

Spaghetti Bolognese - you can make your own helathier version of the meat sauce using 95% lean meat (or better), onions, garlics, carrots, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregono, etc.

Rice and Beans

Kebabs with couscous

Roast chicken

Stuffed peppers, tomatoes or cabbage

If you need ideas for recipes I have the turnaround program cookbook that has core plan recipes

Good luck!

Re: Core foods

thanks. I love both WW plans, but right now I have no willpower, so I feel like I need to start with Core.

The other thing with both these plans is you really need to cook. I have to get back in the habit. Its sooo hard for me now since DH isnt home for dinner and DC could care less if he had mac n cheese every nigth and rarely etas what I cook anyway.

But I am doing it! I cant stand myself anymore. Thanks for the list and I may take you up on some ideas.

I posted a good core recipe on here a week or so ago. If you gp into dwlz.com under receipes then click on core receipes a bunch comes up. I made the crockpot core raspberry pecan chicken. It was great.
Also, they make whole grain rice mixes now.

Re: Core foods

I saw that recipe. It looked good, makes me wanna get a new crockpot. But DH will kill me since I used the last one twice.
