If you have been on a weight loss plan for any length of time then you know that it is easy to fall into a rut with meals. When that happens, I like to change things up a bit with a new recipe. This Weight Watchers Pasta Salad is great for when you are looking for a filling lunch or dinner. You can also bring this to a cookout or potluck. At 7 Freestyle points per serving, this salad provides bold Italian flavor, while helping you remain on track. If you are looking for more Weight Watchers recipes check out these Thai Chicken Wraps.

All you do is print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for that month. Don’t worry, there are lots of options, so even picky eaters will find something they like.
Then when it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies).
