    I love hamburger helper too! A better, healthier way to make it is with Jennio Ground Turkey. It taste the same and it's actually cheaper than ground beef.

    Do you like graham crackers? I love to put peanut butter on those, just make sure you don't put a lot on. I barely use a tsp.

    Make your own mac and cheese. You can get healthier option when you make it yourself, instead of out of the box.

    Load your pizza with veggies.

    Try the Jennio Products. They are good. I love ground beef, but this is a healthier option and it taste great!:smile:

    I notice that there aren't many fruits or vegetables on that list! You may want to consider trying to start sneaking them into your diet and acquiring a taste for them! Are you able to chop up vegetables really finely and add them to your favorite dishes?( i do that for mushrooms even tho' I have no clue why they are needed in anything!!)

    I have a recipe book for my kids called Deceptively Delicious. It is fabulous and the recipes are pretty good - for example there is one recipe for mac and cheese that sneaks in pureed squash. Trust me you don't know it is there and it is very good!

    I also rely a lot on the recipe books Crazy Plate, Looneyspoons and Eat, shrink and be Merry - they take a lot of favorites and cut the fat/calorie content of them making them better for you. Included are recipes for ground meat, macaroni and cheese, pizza etc.

    There are healthy alternatives for these meals, you just need to Google them. You can have healthy tacos (Boca meat, laughing cow cheese, whole wheat tortilla) or healthy hamburger helper (boca or lean turkey meat, whole wheat pasta, laughing cow cheese, onion, parsley, etc.)

    You need to Google recipes; you'll find that eating healthy does not equate to feeling like a starving model. Here's a good website to start you off:
