Popcorn!
 
I've done great today with the new plan and have 2 points left to use up until I head to bed which I'll probably use on a yogurt and piece of fruit. I'm a little disappointed about the increase in points for popcorn. I eat an entire bag everyday which WAS 4 points and jumped to 7! I made a mini bag instead which used to be a single point and is now 3 but it's worth it, popcorn has literally saved me from digging into a bag of chips or other salty greasy snack.

There's a recipe in the ready set go cookbook...the one that you get with the new points plus kit it's sugar & spice popcorn. Air popped corn, sprayed with oil spray with sugar, cinnamon nutmeg etc. sprinkled on it. I plan to try it soon.
My microwave doesn't pop corn well.

I just recently discovered Popcorn Indiana's Kettle Corn - yummo! On the old plan it was 3 points for 2 whole cups. I'll have to figure out the points for the new plan. It's all natural too. They sell it at Publix (southern grocery chain) and Whole Foods.

I love Popcorn Indiana Cinnamon Sugar popcorn. They have a website also where they well a lot of flavors.

Under the old plan it was 3 points for 3 cups. Now it is 4 points for 3 cups which is fine since I get more points now. It is really, really good.

Yum! I will have to check out their site. It's well worth 4 points. Yummy and so filling.

I feel the same way because popcorn was my snack since I am a night snacker. I would eat a bag of the light and it would fill me up and I would be good for the rest of the night. And I had recently-right before the new plan started- picked up a bag of Trader Joe's organic popcorn with olive oil because Dr. Oz was saying what a good snack it is. It's so good and 2 cups used to be 2 points. Now it's 4.
