What do you think are the worst foods that you eat?
When the PointsPlus plan came out Sean helped me go through the pantry and fridge and re-calculate and some of the packaged foods I eliminated, but some I can not part with. I try my best to stay away from processed foods. Mostly due to the fact that the more I eat the more I crave! I have no control with those lil 100 calorie packs! lol So the thought to share my BAD foods with you came to me and I want you to share what you eat that you can not part ways with. :)
Boxed food #1 Ok so as you can see these really aren't BAD foods as far as PointsPlus values go. These veggie sausage patties are only 2 PointsPlus and they are packed with protein that keeps my breakfast sandwich with me all AM! I really love them and have no plans on eliminating them anytime soon. :-)
This is packaged food #2 and first off let me say that I would never crave this cheese right out of the fridge. I only use it to melt over stuff. Eggs & my breakfast sandwich are really the only ways I use it. I know it's not the best, but I luv it. lol
Wanna see my QUICK lunch yesterday? This is a Trader Joe's Veggie Masala Burger patty, cucumber yogurt that Sean's Mom showed me how to make, avocado, tomato, & carrots.

BREAKING NEWS!!
First I need to give Sean some credit here. He asked for a steak salad and then I added all of the ingredients, but he gets IDEA CREDIT. :)
Rainbow Steak Salad
3 ounces grilled london broil, sliced thin
2 cups romaine lettuce
1/4 C shredded red cabbage
1/4 C shredded carrots
1/4 C corn
2 stalks green onion, chopped fine
2 Tablespoons roasted red pepper, cut into thin strips
1 Tablespoon crumbled blue cheese
1/4 avocado, diced
-Dressing of your choice. We used Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing, it was delicious!
Without the dressing: PointsPlus value 8
Do ya like TART frozen yogurt? I like it with fruit!!
DESSERT!
I get this from Trader Joe's- good stats! 1/2 C for 2 PointsPlus!
The past few days I have been doing a lil yard work. The former homeowners left a whole lotta pots behind and some of them were garbage, but some of them just needed a little love. My Mom helped me and we went to get some new plants and take care of the ones left behind. Here is a little peek at the front patio area that made it a little more cheery out there. :)
So that's it for me! I am going to weigh today. I decided to just go over to a local Weight Watcher center close by. I'm bloated, puffy, and crampy so I'm not looking forward to the GAIN I know I will see and I think staying close today will be a good idea because I'm so tired....moody, grumpy, grouchy...lol you get the idea right? :-)
Have a great day everyone! :) If ya make my NEW recipe let me know! I'd love to hear all about it!
BYE!
Granola is my number one boo-boo food. My daughter Holly makes me buy it for her, but every time I get into it, I wind up snarfing up handful after handful (and I have big hands!).
ReplyDeleteWe like the Morningstar patties, too. Costco carries jumbo boxes of them, btw.
How's your cursed house? Walls start bleeding yet?
That salad looks so good and its so colorful and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love to put bananas if I'm in the mood for ice cream.
And that is something I will never give up... ice cream.
I love that salad! I would have to pick a different cheese though as I don't do blue cheese. It looks really pretty though!
ReplyDeleteI have my Morningstar Black Bean Chipotle burgers that I LOVE. I also love the Lean Cuisine Flat Breads, the ranch especially. Otherwise I eat pretty clean. I have to admit though, I don't always feed my family as clean though. They eat frozen pizzas, and Kraft Mac and Cheese. I LOVE Kraft mac and cheese but just can't rationalize the calories. I don't begrudge them of it though. :-)
your new recipe looks wonderful. Eat a rainbow they say! :)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the WW processed cheese slices? every bit as good as the kraft ones, but for one point LESS...yay! And they melt really well.
I really try to stay away from processed foods as well...but I do admit to using the oreida frozen potatoes for mashing so I don't have to deal with peeling and boiling. They are mostly potatoes..but then they sneak that little bit of chemical in them...sigh.
The worst foods...the ones you can get at the WW meetings. Egads....full of chemical ingredients...so sad. Seems counterproductive to me.
have a great day, Tracy!
You just eat so freaking well! Love that recipe, I think I'll have to try it! I think hubby would even like it.
ReplyDeleteIce cream is a big one for me. I don't even get the low fat stuff - I just enjoy a small serving of the "good" stuff!
ReplyDeleteI also like to use Potato Buds for quickie mashed potatoes.
I am with you on the morningstar sausage patties...I love those!!!
ReplyDeleteHi TJ, good luck at weigh in, hopefully you get a pleasant surprise and either lose or maintain!! I try pretty hard to steer clear of many processed items, but I'm a BIG stove top stuffing fan! I can't buy it, 'cause if I do, it's GONE.
ReplyDeleteSigh. Skinny Cow chocolate ice cream cone thingies. I swear I could not live without them. I do try to alternate them with fruit smoothies, but there's something about the ice cream and crunch that really gets me.
ReplyDeleteI love how colorful and cheery all your pictures always look :)
ReplyDeleteAlong with a great many of the things already mentioned, I can't compromise on mayonnaise. It has to be the real McCoy or I will do without. I just can't handle the reduced fat!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOVE ME THOSE MORNING STAR SAUSAGES!
ReplyDeletebuy em from costco like MizTer Sh*t :)
Morningstar Sausage Patties are amazinggg!! They are worth the points...and like you said, the way they keep me full all morning definitely keeps me buying them!!
ReplyDeleteI have to think about what food I have that maybe isn't so healthy that I will still eat.
ReplyDeleteLove the pots and plants and what a difference they make. Flowers always make me smile.
I made some cookies from almond flour for a friend who has allergies and they were delicious. I blogged about them. They came in at only 2 WWPP!
yay! you are testing out your kitchen :) looks delicious! As far as bad foods go. Ugh, too many! but the worst is mozzarella sticks. deadly
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be picking up the frozen yogurt during my weekend trip to TJ's!
ReplyDeleteWow, that steak salad looks so yummy. I must try it. Thanks for posting!!
ReplyDeletehttp://blogmyselfthin.blogspot.com/
my worst food...buttered saltine crackers..real butter, real white flour salted crackers...tasty.
ReplyDeleteI do like the Jimmy Dean D'Lites breakfast bowls - 6 points and its very filling!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend TJ!
p.s. the steak salad looks amazing!
YUM! Is it bad this post made my mouth water? LOL I don't love healthy food or anything ;)
