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!

It’s nice to set some time away to sip away at some delicious tea (and coffee too). Tea is big where my family is from so I just happened to pick up on it. Definitely recommend experimenting and brewing methods and types of tea as we all like different taste profiles. I typically stay away from most store bought tea bags as the flavor is distorted from the compressed bag and the use of lower quality parts of the tea leaves for mass production. I like the natural flavors so I tend to stick with the natural flavors and avoid the blends but I do like a good cup of Earl grey here and there 😁

I believe small-batch makers are the heartbeat of a healthier food system. My focus is on supporting locally sourced, sustainable brands that put people, communities, and real ingredients first. By championing independent vendors, we help keep dollars in local economies, reduce wasteful supply chains, and fuel the creativity that big manufacturing can’t replicate. Every product featured comes from a business that cares about quality, craft, and community impact - not mass production. This holiday season, choosing small isn’t just a purchase - it’s a vote for better food, fairer practices, and a future where local makers can thrive. When we shop small, we’re not just giving gifts. We’re giving support, opportunity, and momentum to the entrepreneurs building something meaningful.

I have been (mostly) gluten-free for nearly 4 years now. I am not celiac; however, I definitely have a gluten intolerance of some sort. I am able to make my own bread from scratch with minimal gut issues, which has allowed me to still remember what good bread tastes like. Because of this loophole, I think it makes me qualified to know what a good gluten-free product tastes like, and if it is truly comparable to the real thing. Also, I live in the middle of nowhere, where gluten-free items can be difficult to find. So anywayyyy there's my backstory and credentials- now here are some of my favorites that I have found at my local Target and Walmart!

Spoon 🥄 1 tablespoon of each filling onto the center of a bread 🥖 slice, then top with a second slice. Press together firmly and cut into circles—this kid-friendly shape makes them easier to hold and perfect for smaller appetites. Seal 🦭 the edges with a fork 🍴 to lock in freshness. Freeze until ready to eat (up to 2 weeks). Pack frozen for lunch—they’ll thaw perfectly by midday. (BLT only in fridge and lasts few days tops) For PB&J lovers, strawberry 🍓, raspberry, and grape 🍇 are the classic go-to flavors. Crofter’s Organic Strawberry delivers a rich, berry-forward taste, while Welch’s Natural Strawberry stands out for skipping high-fructose corn syrup and offering a well-balanced, crowd-pleasing flavor.

This is a list for creating meals/having food in your dorm on your days off. These are just ideas, because I use to do my laundry and cleaning on my Thursday night, enjoy my Friday night or relax, Saturday was my day out, then Sunday was my hermit day where I just rested in my dorm. When I only had 1 day off per week, I usually spent most of it resting and catching up on self care activities.- I got up early to eat a big breakfast in the EDR then picked up my bagged lunch(es) I signed up for before hand, then stayed in my dorm area. Somedays I went to the pub and ordered food there so it was closer for me. It just really depended on how tired I was and if I had 1 day off or 2.

I prefer “going out” at a wine bar rather than a regular bar, especially in SF! If you want get together over great food, great vibes, and great wine (sorry about your impending hangover), try a SF wine bar.
