If you read the menu plan I posted on Monday, you will remember that I am now doing the menu plan posts on Fridays. Since most people work, it appears that you do your grocery shopping over the weekend. If you will, please let me know in the comments section below if you want me to keep doing the grocery list as well. I have to do one anyway for myself, but let me know if you found it helpful. If so, I will keep doing them. Also, let me know if you would prefer the grocery list done by meal, day or just one complete grocery list. I appreciate it!

Have you tried any of the new recipes from last week’s menu? Check them out right here. Remember too if you have any upcoming parties (Fourth of July, Pool Parties, etc), make and take my super low point dips.  All but 2 of the dips are just 1 point per serving. Here is the post with all of the dip recipes.

The dip recipes are: Rancher’s Chicken Dip, Hot Mustard Dip, Greek Bruschetta Dip, Roasted Red Pepper Salsa, Hot to Trot Cream Cheese & Salsa Dip, Refreshing Melon Salsa and Warm Cheesy Broccoli Dippy Spread. Yum!

As usual, there are some new recipes on this week’s menu so let’s get started and see what is cooking on Week 25 -Weight Watchers Freestyle Diet Plan Menu – Week of 6/25/18. Just a heads up, from now on new recipes can be found under that particular day’s meal and all the recipes from here on will be PRINTABLE.

Evening Snacks for Week 24 – 6/18/18

Listed below are the evening snacks I ate on Week 24.  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.
