Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 102). Hope everyone had a great week! We decorated the house for Christmas this weekend which really put us in the Spirit! I also kick started the Holidays with my first giveaway, giving away this DeLallo Italian Antipasto Entertaining Collection and the Skinnytaste Fast and Slow Cookbook! This one ends Monday night so be sure to enter for a chance to win!
Pictured above is The Skinnytaste Meal Planner (affiliate link) where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers.

When I put the nutritional info in the WW calculator it came out to 8 SM on the new Plan but your post states 3? Help
the calculator will not be accurate with all the 0 point foods.
I noticed in your post – at the end of the description of the items in the contest it indicates the contest is opened to residents of the US and CA, however, when I filled out the entry form I noticed it states the contests is only open to residents of the US. I am confused – can Canadian’s enter the contest?
Hopefully, as a Canadian I am able to enter the contest.
That’s all for now, Nancy
Forgive me, this one is US only but I will be doing more that are open to Canadians.
Groceries ordered and ready to start a successful week!
I couldn’t find Oaxaca. What is the difference in the cheeses?
Its like a mozzarella
Hi Gina. I’m sure you’re in on all the buzz about the WW plan change. Do we need to be checking the smartpoints counts? (PS: love absolutely everything about your books/recipes!!!).
Yes, I am working on changing them but it may take a week or two to finish.
I love your recipes and have both of your cookbooks. Will you be updating points when the new “freestyle” plan is announced next week?
yes
Will you be noting whether the points listed are freestyle smart points or regular smartpoints like you do with points plu?
They are ALL updated!
Sounds incredibly tasty! x
