Did you try the Mexicano Stuffed Peppers from last week? They are so delicious. I like them better than traditional stuffed peppers because they use ground turkey breast instead of greasy ground beef. I wish jalapenos came in a big size because I would love to stuff them with the spicy ground turkey breast mixture. If you did not get the recipe for the peppers, it is right here. Also, if you have not tried the 2 ingredient dough recipe yet, you must try it soon. This past weekend, I prepped and baked lots of meat hand pies. Since summer is coming, I will not use the oven as much. And, these hand pies can be defrosted overnight and put in the microwave for a few seconds. So excellent and filling too.
There will be quite a few new recipes for this week’s menu. One fabulous recipe that is perfect for summer is a Cucumber Honeydew Feta Salad. Can you say yum? It is so crisp and filling too. Also included is this week’s downloadable grocery list for everything on this week’s menu. It’s at the bottom of this post. So let’s get started and see what is cooking this week of Week 19 – Weight Watchers Freestyle Diet Plan Menu – Week of 5/7/18.
Evening Snacks for Week 18Â – 4/30/18
Listed below are the evening snacks I ate on Week 18. Every week, I try to make it a point to carry over 4 points daily in case later in the week, I am in a position where my food choices are limited.
Monday: Watermelon Slices and Snack Size Bag of Kettle Corn (3 Points)
Tuesday:Â Pretzel Pepperidge Farm Goldfish (4 Points)

To this point, I still have not broke into my weekly points allowance at all. Each week, I am going to keep my nighttime snack category open to use up some of my points.

I really love your meal plans and recipes! Thanks for sharing!
I still have yet to try the 2 ingredient dough. But the link that you go to only talks about pizzas. How do you make them into bagels? And how do you make them into calzones or meat pies? I would really like to try making all of these things. Thanks again for sharing all of your great ideas!

Patti, you are very welcome. You always use the same ingredients for any type of calzone, meat pie, bagel, biscuit dough, you name it. It’s just a matter of how you shape it. For the meat pies & calzones, just roll dough out into a circle, using this tool (it’s a godsend and very cheap) https://amzn.to/2I2qcJ9. Then, you fill with whatever filling you are using. For the bagels, just divide dough into quarters, roll into a log and then pinch it together in a circle and bake. I add this seasoning on the bagels: https://amzn.to/2jH47By. If you do a search of 2 ingredient dough _______ (fill in the blank: bagels, biscuits, etc.) you will find a recipe. Lots of people use this dough and it is one of the most delicious crusts (for pizzas, calzones, etc). Any other questions, just ask Patti 🙂
