We each received a set number of food points to use each week. We tried making meal plans for two week periods before going shopping, but that led to some food waste since we are sometimes hit with specific cravings and ignore the plan willy-nilly. We either have leftovers or use frozen dinners from Smart Ones or Lean Cuisine.

It compliments my favor taste, chocolate, very nicely. And I like the creaminess of Tiramisu, it has a truly comfort food quality to it. I know the leftover mocha iced coffee won’t go to waste because my daughter loves to drink that! But I like a little coffee flavor. So I’m going to give it a modified try.
