Fabulous Food Finds

I haven't posted here on Healthy Thoughts for a LONG time but recently decided that I would try to be better. I track all of my food and exercise on Weight Watchers.com so I haven't used this blog much. I have people asking me a lot of questions about what I did to lose weight and what I do to keep it off and so I thought I would start answering them on my blog. People are always asking me what I eat and if I know of any good snacks and YES...I know a plethora of them. Ill start with some of my faves!

1.My latest Fab Food Find is from my friend Jill. They are the whole wheat tortillas found at the Dunford Bakery. Yes....that is the home of the best chocolate donut in the world! Who would have known that they would have 0 point tortillas that ROCK MY SOCKS! I usually count them for a bit more because I eat a lot of them but do as you may. They are around 3.24 ish a bag for eight and worth every penny. They also freeze well, so go buy a bunch and stick them in the freezer. I use them for tacos, wraps, burritos and I love putting them in the oven with some pam and sprinkling splenda and sugar on them. YUM!
A little advice for when you go in...just make sure to where blinders and put a close pin on your nose. Don't even look at the chocolate donuts alla heaven! Stay strong....It IS possible. I haven't crumbled yet:)

2 Vita Tops=1 pt
You can purchase these from vitalicious.com. Ive tried most of them and would recommend the chocolate. The different varieties of all the chocolate taste all the same to me. What I have discovered is they taste better from the mixes when you make them at home and they are cheaper. I recommend the brownies and the chocolate muffins. I don't even use there special pan. I use a muffin pan and make them both that way. They are to die for. Make some up and freeze the rest to take to work or have handy for a snack attack!

A little advice. Don't eat more than two at a time or you ll feel so bloated you might blow. Loren ate about 6 once and was so sick. These suckers are so full of fiber they will tear you up! Don't learn the hard way. You might want to chase them down with some water and a beano:)

Also if you order them put in ronisweigh in the coupon code box to get 10% off.


3. Morning Star Corn Dogs=3 pts
I tried these today and yep..they were as good as they looked. Don't let the fact that these are vegetarian scare you off. I am always willing to try most anything and have found that a lot of these meatless products are quite tasty. Give them a try....you might just be surprised. Next week I will try another product and tell you how it goes:

A little advice....if your cooking for someone else like a "picky man"...don't even say a word that they are vege dogs. He wont even know. After he tells you how much he liked them....then you can spill the beans. Loren just enjoyed some tofu noodles the other day. I was completely shocked because I thought they were sick!

4. Laughing Cow Light French Onion Cheese Wedges=1 pt
I find these at Walmart by the deli section by the ready to eat sandwiches and wraps. They are really good on the dunford tortiallas with turkey or even with some egg for a breakfast burrito. Tasty...Tasty...Tasty...



5. Speaking of eggs.....I have discovered All Whites by Crystal Farms and I really like them. You can eat more of these than regular eggs because they are fat free, low cal egg whites. I can make a huge breakfast burrito or two and it satisfies me until lunch.

One more thing. Go to Hungrygirl.com for great tips and recipes. I LOVE her and have loved many of her recipes. Her hungrygirl cookbook has come in handy AND she puts together a grocery list to help you get what you need to get started!
