Heaven's Bistro Pizzas are low in fat, and high in fiber. I was a
little disappointed in the size at first, but I thought it was
worth the points since the crust is heavy. I tried the Grilled
Vegetable pizza, which is 4 points per serving. You can have half
of the pizza for 6 points which would be filling, or the whole
thing for 13 points and it would be VERY filling. They also have
other flavors that look good, but I can't get them where I live.
Most are 4 points per serving, but a couple of them are 5 points
per serving. Make sure you follow the baking directions closely
for a crisp crust. If you like a thick crust, you should try this
pizza. |

If you
haven't tried these muffins yet, you really shouldn't wait any
longer! They are so moist, generous in size, and filling! All of
the flavors (with the exception of chocolate) are only 2 points,
fat free and contain 8 grams of fiber (which will help make you
feel full). The chocolate is still only 2 points and just as big.
It contains 1/2 a gram of fat and 5 grams of fiber, which is still
excellent! The more you order, the cheaper the muffins are, so get
some friends together and place an order. This company advertises
mostly by word of mouth, so be sure to tell everyone! |

Silhouette Skinny Cow ice cream products are really good. My
favorite is the ice cream sandwiches, which are 2-3 points
depending on which flavor you choose. The bad news is they aren't
really cheap and I can't seem to stay out of them. LOL! They also
offer sundae cups and fudge bars for 2 points, and skinny carb
bars for 3 points (which I haven't tried). |

The No
Pudge Brownie Mixes are very handy, especially when you just want
one brownie without having to make an entire pan (you can make the
whole pan if you want, the directions are on the box). By making
just one brownie, they'll always be warm and you won't be tempted
to eat the whole pan at once. :) The good news is, each brownie is
only going to cost you 2 points! These come in 4 different
flavors, but my favorite is the original. |

Pirate's Booty White Cheddar snacks are really good! The only down
side to them is you only get 1 oz. for 3 points. They remind me of
a cheese puff, but you don't get orange fingers from eating them.
LOL! |

Skinny
Corn Chips are like a really thin Frito shaped sort of like a
small pasta shell. You get 1 oz. for 1 point (original and
barbeque flavors). |

|
Krusteaz Fat Free Muffin Mixes are easy to make. All you have to
do is add water and they're only 2 points. They also sell
cornbread mix and brownie mix, but I haven't tried the cornbread
mix and I prefer Betty Crocker's Low fat Brownie mix better. |

Pria
Bars remind me of different flavored rice crispy treats covered in
chocolate. The package states that they are 2 points each, but
they are actually 2.5 points each. These are very good when you're
hungry for a candy bar. Also, if you have a Sam's Club near you,
they sell them in a large box for about 66 cents per bar. |

Splenda
No Calorie Sweetener is made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar.
It measures cup for cup just like sugar too. I use it in almost
everything that calls for sugar and it doesn't have the after
taste that you usually get from sweeteners (to me anyway). It's
great for diabetics too! I buy it in a large bag since I use so
much of it. :) |

Natural
Ovens Bread and Bagels are my favorite. The bread reminds me of
homemade bread and both the bread and bagels are heavy in weight
and high in fiber. My favorite bread is Sunny Millet and my
favorite bagel is Raspberry. The bread is 1 point per slice
and the raspberry bagel is 3 points. Check out their website for a
complete listing of products and nutritional information. Some
health food stores are now carrying this bread as thrift (cheaper)
too. |

Walden
Farms Fat Free, No Calorie products have been talked about many
times on the WW message boards. I really like the bacon ranch
dressing and the chocolate syrup the best. What I didn't like
were the dips. I thought the dips tasted too much like vinegar,
but that's just my opinion. You might like them if you like
vinegar. |

This is
another Health Valley product that I really like. The Fat Free
Healthy Chips Double Chocolate Cookies are my favorite flavor, but
they also come in Apple Spice, Apricot Delight, Raisin Oatmeal,
Old Fashioned and Original Style. You get 3 cookies for 100
calories, 0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Make sure the package says
fat free on it because they also make regular cookies and the
boxes look a lot alike. |

Kashi
Products are high in fiber, minimally processed and free of
highly refined sugars, unnecessary additives, and preservatives. I
like their cereals especially, but they also sell bars (they're
ok), shakes (I didn't like) and crackers (very good). My favorite
cereal is the Kashi Go Lean Crunch. I made a breakfast cookie
recipe with it and it was chosen as recipe of the month back in
November 2003. If you'd like the recipe,
click here.
I also like the Heart to Heart cereal because it reminds me of
cheerios, but more dense. The Good Friends and Go Lean cereals are
very good too. Check out their website for more information. |

Laughing Cow Cheese is really rich and creamy. It comes in wedges
and has the consistency of cream cheese. I really like it on
sandwiches and on toasted english muffins, toast and bagels. It
comes in light and a couple of different flavors. I like the
original the best. You can usually buy it cheaper at Sam's Club,
but you have to buy 3 containers at once. |

I
really like SACO Buttermilk powder. I always have some on hand and
it keeps for quite some time in the refrigerator. When a recipe
calls for buttermilk, all I have to do mix up the amount that I
need and I don't have to worry about it spoiling, or trying to
find ways to use up leftover buttermilk. You should be able to
find this in the baking aisle of your local grocery store. Most of
the time it's located on the top shelf. |

I
really enjoy using Bob's Red Mill products. Any time you see a
recipe on my site that calls for wheat bran, bulgur, oat bran, or
any other weird sounding grains, this is the brand I use. I find
it in the health section at Kroger. If your local grocery store
doesn't have a health food section, try looking where the flour
is. Sometimes it's in a clear plastic bag too. Not all grocery
stores are up to speed, so you may have to check your local health
food store or visit Bob's Red Mill website and contact them to see
which stores in your area carry it. |

I have
to admit, I don't like all Boca products. I do like the crumbles,
burgers and spicy sausage links. I don't eat the spicy sausage
links by themselves, but they're good crumbled up on homemade
pizza. :) The crumbles can be used in any recipe that calls for
ground beef. Visit their site for a complete listing of products
available. |

Morningstar Farms products are really good. I like to use the
Grillers Recipe Crumbles, Sausage Style Recipe Crumbles, Burgers,
Chicken Patties, Sausage Links, Sausage Patties, and Corn Dogs.
The Recipe Crumbles can be used in any recipe in place of ground
beef or ground sausage. I like the sausage crumbles in quiche.

I eat
Gardenburger products from time to time. My favorites are the
Meatless Meatballs, and the Meatless Riblets (I highly recommend
them). I tried the the Meatless Meatloaf once, but didn't really
care for it. Visit their site for a complete listing of products
available. |

I
really like the taste and texture of Hodgson Mill's whole wheat
pastas. They're low in fat and high in fiber. One serving which is
2 oz. uncooked is 3 points and it doesn't taste like whole wheat. |

Nestle
Fat Free Hot Cocoa Mix gets me through the Winter. I've been known
to drink it year round when I want a chocolaty treat too. You get
a cup for only 25 calories and it's made with sucralose (Splenda).
I drink so much of this stuff, I buy it by the canister. I've only
been able to find the canisters at my local Meijer stores, but
their website has a store locator and you can see if it's
available in your are. If you can't find the canister, you should
be able to find it in the envelopes. |

I use
Smart Beat Smart Squeeze Fat Free Margarine for almost everything.
I even bake with it. 1 Tablespoon is only 5 calories and it's
trans fat free. I especially like it on toast and corn. Some
people have said they can't find it so I've stopped using it in
recipes. If you can't find it, you might ask your local grocery
store manager to stock it. |

I Can't
Believe It's Not Butter! I've been using the fat free spread in
recipes lately since everyone can't find the Smart Squeeze
mentioned above. Again, this is only 5 calories per tablespoon and
does not contain any trans fats (per serving). The spray is very
useful for popcorn, toast, biscuits, corn, etc. but you need to be
careful as to how much you use. A serving has zero calories, but
keep in mind the whole bottle has like 900 calories and 90 grams
of fat. It's not really wise to unscrew the lid and pour the
butter. For more information, check my
FAQ
page for serving size and calories. |

DaVinci
Gourmet Sugar Free syrups are made with Splenda and really good.
Best of all they have zero calories! My favorite flavor is
raspberry. I like to put it into my Nestle hot cocoa (mentioned
above). You can also put these in your coffee or you can even bake
with them. I have about 15 flavors. I also like to make snow cones
for zero points. You can usually find the vanilla and hazelnut in
the coffee section of Super Walmart and Kroger. The closer to
Washington you are, the easier they probably are to find since
that's where they're made. Marshall's and TJ Maxx carry them also
(and cheaper) but I've had a hard time finding them there. Check
their website for recipes. |
