NS Food on Review

It depends on your healthcare provider...I know blue cross is 12%.... Also Costco sells no giftcards regular price is $80 for a $100 value card....twice a year they go on sale for $60 for a $100 value card.....I'm on the regular plan cuz of the cost, too.....it gets boring, but as long as I lose weight and keep feeling this good I will survive without the frozen foods!I love the White Chix Chili, and cheese tortellini for lunch. For dinner my favs are flat bread pizza, turkey and dressing and chicken alfredo. I see many of you are ordering the frozen. I haven't yet, it's more money. I wonder if we can try the Uniquely Yours for a month then go back down to the custom. I just don't know if I can afford $330 a month. Right now I'm paying $254 for the custom. I hear I can save more by giving them my medical insurance information...I need to do that. Does anyone know how much you can save on that discount?

I put the pasta on the cooked spaghetti squash and bake it in the oven for 15 min at 350......I cooked some spaghetti squash for the first time. I used it as a side with my lasagna and it worked great to eat along with the left over sauce they add. Yes it does look like spaghetti and tastes just as good as a substitute.

There is a "Select 10" in the sampler - 10 days of frozen meals for $149.99. I ordered one last night (used Costco cards).
I did too. I got mine on Thursday. Nice change from the prepackaged stuff. I have a new supply of that as well but after that's gone, I'm going frozen.0 -
I had the Tuscan Inspired Pasta tonight --- I thought it was pretty good. i can't recall who told me that they like to take the beef stew and eat it over the loaded mashed potato as comfort food, but this would be another one of those. Lots of gravy in this baby that would probably be really good over potatoes too. It was substantial enough that I really feel like I ate dinner.0

Thanks guys, I heard about the Costco giftcards from another member...going to have to try that.

The frozen is more, but to me it's worth it! The only ready-to-go that I really like is the lasagna and the ravioli. I don't like the frozen desserts as much. Even though the are very good, they are too small. I like the candy bar type desserts or the chocolate covered pretzels.0

Chocolate covered pretzels are one of my favs. I also love the yellow pound cake. It's very moist and delicious. I have a little ritual, every evening about and hour after dinner, but at least 1.5 hours before bed, I have my sweet dessert with a large cup of coffee (with fat and sugar free flavored creamer) and it's like wiping away the day. Such a stress reliever.0 -
I just got an email about the buy one get one free smoothies. I added them to my order and got an additional 20% off and free shipping. I hope I like them. I have had a few frozen meals with my sampler. To be honest...I didn't really enjoy the egg with turkey ham omelette. The salsbury steak was just okay and the turkey medallions were just okay as well. I really enjoyed the mushroom stuffed chicken breast. I am trying to get through my gift cards asap because I feel like I am just about ready to try this on my own. I have about 3 months left with nutrisystem. Good luck everyone!0

I almost got the smoothie deal yesterday, but didn't. You'll have to let me know how you like them. What flavor did you get? I was toying with the Tropical . . .0 -

I was thinking about the tropical but the reviews weren't too good. I ordered the blueberry and the strawberry banana. I hope they offer more specials...like I said...I am just trying to get rid of my gift cards. I think I went overboard when I bought them. It's not that I don't like the program...the food is just getting boring. I will let you know how the smoothies are. I won't get them until my next shipment which comes after June 9.0 -
Truly one of the scariest meals I have ever had. It went on my NO list tooI had the meatloaf and mashed potato last night. It looked nothing like its box picture. It wasn't horrible but out of my 4 months on NS, this one is pretty much at the bottom of my list. Glad I only ordered one to give it a try. I'm doing the Santa Fe Chicken tonight. I've had that one before and love it.

Thanks all -- making a note to skip the meatloaf . . .

I agree. This is the only meal that I just couldn't finish.0 -

I agree, the meatloaf was horrible. So far, being on the plan for 6 weeks, I have only found 2 dinners I can't stand: meat loaf and the lasagna.
I really like the Chicken alfredo and the turkey sausage, bacon rigatoni.0 -
Tried the Tuscan Inspired Pasta tonight.. will be ordering more!! I like the Chicken alfredo and rigatoni too Gina.0

I had that the other night and liked it also 0 -
I'm an odd ducky I know. I liked the mashed potatoes/meatloaf. And, I do not like any of the mac and cheese. Probably one of a half dozen people on the planet who doesn't like mac and cheese.0

I like mac & cheese, but I'm not huge fan of NS mac & cheese. And in the last order I got 5 (count 'em - 5) of them!! 3 regular and 2 with beef.

I did get my frozen dessert order today (and it wasn't melted!! While they sent me a note saying they had shipped on 5/22, they didn't actually ship the frozen part until the 26th). I tried one of the ice cream sandwiches tonight. While I can't say it was the best ice cream sandwich I've ever had, I thought it tasted pretty fine for a diet IC sandwich! I'll compare it taste and cost-wise to Skinny Cow, and see. Otherwise, I'd order them again!0

I have been trying some of the frozen sampler items. I liked the stuffed mushroom chicken breast, pizza, pancakes, fudge bar and ice-cream sandwich. The okay stuff...turkey medallions, stuffed shells, salsbury steak and red velvet whoopee pie. I did not like the egg/turkey ham omelette. It is definitely better than the packaged meals but I am still looking forward to going out on my own.0
-
I found the whoopee pie and IC sandwich just o.k., too, patty and Suze.
I actually like, I think overall, the SS desserts better than the frozen. But, the frozen entrees, on the other hand, are ALL better than SS.0 -
Because it's grilling season and we grill out on the weekends, I am eating the grilled meat and veggies, or making kabobs, this saves on my NS dinners. Plus, I do go out to dinner with friends or have potlucks. Within 7 weeks I have (with the extra week of Fast5) accumulated 14 extra days. I think I might delay my order for this month and get the sampler 14 pack of frozen instead. Plus use my $10 coupon I was sent for being a 50 clicker. Looking forward to the new dishes.

I'm toying with the idea of doing something similar - please report back and let me know how it goes, would you?0 -

If you are on Select (18 SS/10frozen), check out the new cost to upgrade to Uniquely Yours. Previously when I checked it was really expensive to upgrade. But they've since dropped the price and added a Uniquely Yours upgrade discount, I upgraded this past week and will now pay LESS than I did for Select (and my price for Select was right around what you were paying.) Just wanted to pass that along.

Tried the frozen dessert Chocolate Brownie Sundae tonight. Tasty, but soooooooo small --- maybe between 1/3 and 1/2 cup total. I was pretty good, don't get me wrong, but I'm thinking maybe I could do better for 130 calories and 24 carbs . . .0

That's not on the Diabetic plan is it, patty? I couldn't find it on my list of frozen desserts (and with high carb count) so figured it wasn't.0

Agree on the regular Mac & Cheese, I don't mind the one with the beef, however both could use some improvement.0
