Laughing cow cheese. I'm not sure if you have mentioned these before but I love them one so many things. They come in a little triangles that are in a circle cardboard container. They are usually by the packaged meat by the deli. Well at walmart they are. Anyways one triangle is 1 pt and I put it on celery, my 1 pt bagels, sandwiches, and crackers. I seriously couldn't live without it.
The other thing is pumpkin muffins. These are so good especially with Fall coming. These muffins are 2 pts and you can make them 1 pt if you put a fiber cereal in them. the 2 pt recipe is
1 box of spice cake mix
1 can of pumpkin
1 cup of water.
Mix all ingreidents together. should make 24 muffins. Bake at 350 for 20- 25 min.

1 point Jello and some ideas for it!
My wonderful friend Rebecca shared some great ideas with me! Thank you :)
Jell-o Live Active pudding-1 point
She uses the Dark Chocolate Tuxedo and will dip a low fat graham crackers or a banana in it for a snack.
Keebler low fat Grahams-2 points for 2 full sheets!
Rebeccca also does a 3 point pudding pie type thing: (I've tried this idea of hers and it's yum!)
Crush 2 graham crackers sheets in a bowl-2 points
Pour a jello over the top-1 point
Top with 2 T. sugar free cool whip-0 points

Peaches/Strawberries 'n Cream-3 points
I just have to share this one because I've been loving this as a snack or dessert!!
Fruit-1 point (strawberries=1 & 1/2 C. or Peaches=6 oz.)
6 T. Fat Free Half & Half- 1 point (this is a GOOD amount if liquid!)
4 t. Sugar-1 point
1 t. vanilla extract (about that amount)
several dashes of nutmeg (only if you're using peaches. NOT if you're using strawberries)
It's just fine eating it right away, but I prefer to mix it all and put it in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to let all the flavors mix.
It's delicious and very satisfying. I think my favorite part is drinking the rest at the end :)

New Food Ideas!
I LOVE when people share "food finds"! Tonight at Weight Watchers some different people shared some things that I want to try at some point. I don't know the exact info about them right now, but here's what I do know:
1. At Trader Joe's and Fresh and Easy you can buy a Brownie mix that you make with yogurt and they're 2 points for 1/12 of the pan. The people say they're pretty good!
2. There are some single serving veggies that are in the freezer section and they have a cheesy sauce on them for 0 points. For 2 servings it would be 1 point. I'm not SURE I'll like them, but if I do, I think it will be something good to add in with my lunch.
3. Uncle Ben's brown rice. It's 1 C. and you only have to microwave it for 1 minute and the points are quite low. I just don't remember what the points are. Again, this is something I think would be handy to have around for when I'm at a loss for ideas. I'm thinking I would like to do a little rice bowl with some chicken and beans and salsa, kinda like a rice bowl I've gotten at El Pol lo Loco. Just a though, but haven't finalized the thought yet :)
4. Fresh and Easy has some honey pretzel twists that several different people said are really good. They mentioned that the pretzels are a good size (they were showing 3 inches tall and said it's kinda thick) and you get 10 of them for something like 1 point (possibly 2 points, I can't remember exactly). If you have the munchies they would definitely do the trick!
Ok, so I shared some ideas, now somebody share something with ME!!!! :) I don't care if I don't know you, I would just like some help here people :) I like variety and good ideas! Thanks in advance! :)

Light Zesty Italian dressing-2 T. = 1 point

-I'll cut up cucumber and let it soak in it
-Or really just use it for a marinade for whatever you want :)

Sandwich thins and ideas to use them
Sandwich thins are flat buns and great because they're only 1 point for the pair! There was a post about a fish sandwich using them and here are a few more ideas:
-Hamburgers- using Jennie-O burger
-BBQ pulled pork sandwich
-Sloppy Joe's
-BLT's-using less sodium bacon (it's less points and I've heard it's better than turkey bacon)
-Chicken Salad-other post about chicken salad
-Tuna- other post about tuna
-Turkey sandwich
Also, you could slightly toast it to do any of the above ideas. Just remember that it's 1 point for both sides of the sandwich thin and some of these ideas I already posted were with 2 slices of 1 pt. bread. So you're saving 1 whole point using the sandwich thins :)

Pringles (fat free)-1 pt. for 16 chips!
If you're looking for something to munch on, Pringles are the thing for you. I'm pretty sure it's 16 Pringles for 1 pt. You can't go wrong with that :) It's a great snack or something to have along side your sandwich.
The 2 flavors I really like are "BBQ" and "Sour Cream and Onion".
My family also LOOOVES the original, but it's not my favorite. You'll definitely have to try it out for yourself.

Orville Redenbacher's Kettle Corn 94% fat free (100 Calorie pack)-1 pt.
I really like this popcorn!! ... Even better than the "real" stuff with more fat :)
The big regular sized bag is something like 4 pts. for the bag (I don't remember at the moment), but I remember eating the whole things sometimes when I was needing something to snack on that was sweet and yummy.

Dreyers Slow Churn ice cream-3 pts. for 1/2 C.
I've been loving the Dreyers Slow Churn Ice creams.
The 3 I'm in love with at different moments:
Rocky Road
Caramel Delight
Mint Chocolate Chip
All 3 of these are 3 pts. for 1/2 C. and I always have 1 full C. for 6 pts.

Oroweat double fiber bread-1 pt. per slice
I really like this bread. It's really good and each piece is pretty big and heavy for 1 point.
Crunchy Granola Bar-4 points
I'm a snacker...and I love Nature Valley Oat's 'N Honey Crunchy Granola Bars. I like them for a snack in the morning, afternoon or at night before bed. To me they are ultra satisfying.
1 package or 2 bars= 4 points
Broccoli with oil-1 pt.
On stove top combine-
broccoli-0 pts.
1 tsp. olive oil-1 pt.
sprinkle generously with garlic salt
{add more oil depending on preference or amount of broccoli}
Don't cover it.
Fry for about 15 minutes on medium heat.
This is scrumptious!! My kids even love it and they think the oil and garlic salt is a sauce :)
This is a good way to get in 1 oil, or both.
