The Foods I Eat

A friend of mine has recently joined Weight Watchers and she has asked me to help her by giving her some food suggestions. I've done this before and I also want a list for myself (sometimes I forget what I eat) so I decided to post it here so I will have it forever and now it will benefit others too. Feel free to comment on the foods you eat that are healthy also. Of course fruits and vegetables are an obvious great choice for foods but I may not be listing those since they are indeed obvious. I will list foods that I pretty much always have in my house since I've been on WW and that I occassionally purchase too.

Alot of times for dinner I'll make a pita pizza or english muffin pizza with just tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. It's pretty low in points.

I think that's it, I'll continue adding to this if I think of more. Here's a recipe for Taco Soup that I've made several times and love:

Taco Soup

1 lb lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 can pinto beans
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, no salt added
1 can Rotel
1 can diced tomatoes, no salt added
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet ranch seasoning

Brown beef with onion. Combine all ingredients in slow cooker, cook at least until heated through. 1 cup = 3 pts. Top with LF sour cream and/or cheese.
