Its amazing how few foods I had actually eaten before starting my weight loss journey early this January. And whats even more amazing is how many new foods I have "discovered" while looking up some totally awesome recipies and snacks to tide me over in between. My question is "What is your favorite newly found food?" I ask this mostly to get some new ideas for myself and possibly others who may look at our list today. Plus its FRIDAY!! And I think most people do their grocery shopping over the weekend, so why not get a few more ideas on new foods to try for the upcoming week. I cant wait to see what you all have discovered! It's making me hungry already! :drinker:

Roasted bell peppers with garlic. I put them on my salads. I used to avoid them because of pesticides, now I buy organic. YUM.0

And my newly found foods are:
Pepridge Farm breakfast bread (that I found last night at the store, which is what inspired my forum topic).
Yoplait Light yogurts, the red velvet cake one is my favorite!
pita pockets! they are so cool!
Peanut butter...it is so good! on more stuff than just peanut butter and jelly.

Rice crackers ( replacement from Chips - I LOOOOOVE my SALT lol )
Lean Ground Meats ( Chicken, Turkey, Beef )0 -
Whole Grain Pastas (with tons of veggies and light pasta sauce)
GREEK YOGURT! The individual, fruity flavors are perfect for snacks. I love how it's thick like pudding. I also love how plain greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, etc.0 -
Morning Star Breakfast sausage, Kashi Bars and Cereal, Fiber One Yogurt, I also really like any kind of veggie now.0

spaghetti squash, sugar snap peas, brussel sprouts and asparagus. I used to hardly ever eat veggies and now I love most all of them.
Oh, and steel cut oats. Oh my, I eat oatmeal now almost daily for breakfast. Love it :happy:0 -
Clementines - better than candy!0

Asiago Peppercorn Sirloin @ Applebees!
Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Tomato and Mozzarella Cheese Salad @ Friday's!! Both are amazing!0 -
Nothing new - just eating a few things a lot more frequently than I ever did previously. I love eating almonds every day, and eating fresh veggies a lot more often (and in bigger quantities). So many things I already liked, but just ate junkier stuff a lot more.0

ground turkey/chicken - I mix with lean ground beef now to get a healthier version - and no one in my family even notices
Mccain Low fat fries or mccain shredded hash browns (breakfast)...great healthy alternatives0 -
fruit (almost any) and almonds.
I used to have to force myself to eat fruit,now I love it.
I have natural almonds no salt or anything. They make an awesome 2:00 snack.
Also I had haddock last night. I thought "yeah yeah Ill give it a chance" to my surprise it was amazing!0 -
quinoa and zucchini. I never had either until I started eating healthier. Oh, and kale and swiss chard. I rarely had lettuce, let alone those. Now I saute them with olive oil, garlic and some avocado as a side dish.0

My new food is...
Rice cake, vanilla yogurt, fruit, gronola, honey
Yummy....0 -
Fiber One cereal! I use it as a granola substitute in my yogurt. Plus, if grind it up, you can coat chicken and fish with it instead of bread crumbs. Adds TONS of fiber to any meal!0

Kale. I never thought I would like it, but I love it! Greek yogurt. I only eat the plain. It took a little getting used to, but now I love it. Natural peanut butter. The first time I tried it before I started my journey I hated it. It just wasn't sweet enough for my sugar addicted self. Now I love it and can't stand the smell of my old peanut butter. Plain almonds, they are a great snack. Oh and veggie wraps. I used to think that a veggie sandwich was for rabbits, but I love veggie wraps, veggie pizza, and veggie subs!0

Since I've started making my own baby food for my little one, I've rediscovered the deliciousness of plain veggies and fruits. I've never eaten sweet potatoes in my life, but now I love them... I just cook them in the oven or microwave and add a little sea salt. So good. Oh and for summer time, try veggie skewers. Our favorite is mushroom and union. We put a little olive oil and seasonings on them and stick them on the grill with a meat of choice. Yummy. Remember, they cook faster then meat, so put them up top. Oh and one more thing. I was just reading Women's health, and it says that you get the most bang for you calorie buck with Raspberries (2/$5 at Meijer) so load up.0
