Food Finds

I have found (with the help of my friend, Karen B.) the BEST salad dressing!! It's All Natural Newman's Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette Lighten Up! It has 50% less fat and 50% fewer calories than regular Balsamic Dressing. The serving size is 2 T, which is pretty standard for all dressings and has a points value of 1 point!!! I know that fat free Italian is zero points, but I'm not really a fan of it, so I feel like I'm having to choke down my salad. Not cool at all. Now, I'm not saying I will never use FF Italian again, because it is good to use a marinade for veggies and chicken, just it won't be on my salad anymore if I can help it. Oh! Who has tried the Weight Watchers cookies yet? Sidnee and I tried the chocolate chip ones Thursday and they were pretty darn good!! I was really surprised. The cookie is an ok size, for 1 pont, but they were nice and soft and the taste made up for the size.

Also, I know some don't actually attend WW meetings, but are still trying to follow the plan solo and some are just trying to cut back on calories and eat healthier, so with that being said, here are some more food finds.


Nature's Own now makes hamburger buns and hot dog buns that are 1 point each!! They are Whitewheat and taste pretty good. The only thing, the hamburger buns are kind of small, but once you add your "fillings" to it, they still seem to be pretty filling. Nature's Own also has there Light Honey Wheat sandwich bread, the points value is 1 point for 2 slices.

La Tortilla Factory makes 0 point tortillas!! I've only tried the original low carb ones and I've only found these in Gatesville at Wal-Mart.

Kraft has cheese slices that are fat free and some that are 2%. In my opinion, just buy the 2% ones, they are the same in points (1), as the FF ones, but taste a ton better.

The same goes for milk. I use the 1% not skim...why drink cloudy water when you're not saving any points? Both are 2 points for a 1 cup serving.

Pregresso has some Weight Watchers inspired soups 5 different flavors. One serving is 1 cup for 0 points, the whole can will cost you two though, but still 2 points for a whole can of soup is not bad. They have a Vegetable and Noodle, Zesty Southwesteren-Style Vegetable, Homestyle Vegetable and Rice, Italian-Style Vegetable & Savory Vegetable Barley.

Nabisco makes Multigrain crackers that are 1 point for 5 crackers. I think the serving for FF crackers is 7 for 1 point, but FF crackers taste like cardboard to me, so I opt. for losing 2 crackers for taste.

Well, I hope this short starter list helps some of you out. I want to try to keep posting food finds as I find them or remember them. If anyone else has some they know off the top of their head, please feel free to share!
