a week of meals

When I make the weekly grocery list, I always make a list of menus to guide my shopping.  When the menus are made I go through my little WW books and scour the pointage of each menu item. (*Please note this is the old school WW not the new Points Plus).  I thought I would share some of the common menus we eat here at home.  This makes it easier for me through the week to make my lunches/breakfasts accordingly to the amount of points I will use up at dinner time.   These are NOT diet meals and these are NOT meals made using WW Recipes.  Just your basic foods you get from the store with portion monitoring set up for you on the boxes or in the books.

Dinner Menus are:

2 Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups (*97% lean ham, regular slice of cheese, Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls)
