Conquering your Weight Watchers (WW) goals starts at the grocery store! This list equips you with essential staples to keep your kitchen stocked for delicious, satisfying meals that stay within your points budget. ZeroPoint Powerhouses: Load up on zero-point heroes like non-starchy fruits and vegetables. Think leafy greens, berries, cucumbers, zucchini, and lean protein sources like chicken breast and fish. These filling options keep you feeling satisfied without adding points. Smart Carbs for Staying Full: Stock your pantry with whole-wheat options like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-wheat pasta. These complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy without spiking your points. Flavorful and Filling Snacks: Don't let hunger cravings derail your progress! Keep healthy, low-point snacks on hand like Greek yogurt with berries, hard-boiled eggs, baby carrots with hummus, or air-popped popcorn with spices. Spice Up Your Meals: Add flavor and variety without extra points with herbs, spices, and sugar-free condiments. Experiment with different combinations to keep your meals exciting. Healthy Fats for Feeling Full: Don't fear healthy fats! They keep you feeling satiated and add flavor. Stock up on options like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Remember, portion control is key. Frozen Friends: Frozen fruits and vegetables are a lifesaver. Keep them on hand for smoothies, quick side dishes, or adding nutrients to soups and stews. They're a convenient and affordable way to boost your veggie intake. Pantry Staples for Easy Meals: Having a well-stocked pantry with essentials like low-sodium canned beans, whole-wheat tortillas, and brown rice noodles allows you to whip up healthy and delicious meals in no time. By keeping these staples on hand, you'll be well-equipped to navigate the grocery store and make smart choices that support your WW journey. Remember, planning and preparation are key to success!

Check out my top picks from tortillas and salsas, to popcorn and cookies. Let's get satisfied. My favorites that helped me satisfy my crunch while staying in check on my detox and cleanse.
“To ‘put by’ is an old, deep southern way of saying to ‘save something you don’t need now, for the time when you will need it.’ Preserving fresh food by canning, freezing, or dehydrating is a fantastic way to enjoy fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables throughout the year. It can undoubtedly be a healthier alternative to commercially available products and a more cost-effective way to feed your family. I find great pleasure in knowing that I have a delicious product made entirely from “scratch.” Every food has an optimal way of preserving it. Much of that depends on your personal preference for consuming each food. For example, berries can be canned as jam or syrup, made into juice, dried into leather or slices, or frozen in bulk.

At age 12, I was told I should never eat gluten again. I thought this would be an impossible, miserable life. Today I am happier, healthier, and enjoying delicious food! Going gluten-free was a great desicion for me. It was so much easier than I expected. I wish I could go back in time and give 12 year old me this list to prove to her that I could still enjoy food. (Disclaimer - I do not work in the kitchen at these restaurants. While I eat gluten free and have eaten here without issues, I cannot garuntee the absence of allergens.

Times are tough right now. If you're a SNAP recipient like me, you might be going crazy wondering how you're going to eat. First off, don't panic, it burns too much energy and you're gonna need that for cooking LOL Also don't forget your sense of humor when the world is absurd and cruel. If you have the storage space and club membership, Sam's Club is great for bulk items like dry goods. Aldi is where I suggest for fresh fruits and vegetables since they're the cheapest I've found so far. I'm separating this list into food categories. If anyone needs some recipes, let me know and I can make some new lists. I hope everyone struggling with food insecurity right now knows you're not alone. Don't be ashamed if you need to go to a food pantry either, we all need support sometimes. If you text your zip code to (785)503-3310 you will be sent a list of foodbanks near you. Best of luck, everyone! You matter and you deserve to eat, always

Brooklyn’s food scene is insane — you could eat here for a year and still barely scratch the surface. But after living here and sampling my fair share of pizza, ramen, and dumplings, these spots are the ones I keep coming back to:
“Life is busy, but dinner doesn’t have to be stressful. These crockpot meals are my go-to when I want something warm, comforting, and EASY while I’m juggling kids, work, and building my dreams. Set it, forget it, and enjoy family time while dinner cooks itself.”
The Dutch probably eat bread every day — it’s basically their favorite thing. So it’s no surprise that Amsterdam is packed with bakeries, pastry shops, cakes and tasty sandwiches.

I love to cook, especially new and exciting foods. These are the items I've bought and continue to use for a multitude of different meals. I try to pick products that are easy to store or don't take up too much counter space. I also primarily use my dishwasher to clean, so if it's not dishwasher safe, it almost never has a purpose in my kitchen (minus my cast irons of course)
Food definitely makes a difference when it comes to Crohn's! Sticking to these “safe” foods for me, has made it way easier to get out of a flare. You have to figure out what foods are “safe” foods for you and your body, because no one is the same. But I hope this is a starting place to get your mind rolling on what to try first!
