Question

I have two children, a five-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy. I also have an incredibly picky husband who basically the only vegetable he’ll even eat is carrot sticks. Leaving husband out of equation, can anyone recommend kid friendly weight watchers type meals for dinner? 

Answer 1

I'm having the spaghetti carbonara from the app for dinner tonight. Will spaghetti with bacon work for your kids? Also, just switching ground beef to the 96% lean makes a big difference. Then you can make all kinds of things more point friendly.

@lvov that sounds amazingly delicious! Might work for husband, ironically, but not kids. 

Answer 2

WW meatloaf is delish. Chicken stir fry. Peanut butter frozen treats

Thanks! I’m gonna make the meatloaf this week! @mcadams48504

Answer 3

My kids will eat chicken and rice so I make a lot of stir fry. Make the rest of the family white rice and I will have brown (since I'm on purple plan) or califlower rice the frozen bags. If I have enough points will indulge in the rice. Mexican food is pretty low in points and most families will eat it if you trade regular tortillas for the 1-2 pt ones just for yourself. The nice thing about WW though is you can be good for breakfast, lunch and snacks, and still indulge in a slightly less healthy dinner with your picky family most of the time.  

Answer 4

Look on the ww app, there are many recipes there

Answer 5

My kids will eat meatloaf or meatballs made from ground turkey. I can get them to do low points chicken noodle soup. A whole chicken in the oven is another family friendly low points dinner. I usually make the kids sides like Mac and cheese whole I eat salad.  

Answer 6

Hide veggies (pureed) in whatever you're making, like tomato sauce, lasagna, meatloaf.
