[WWCarol]

What are your Top Five Core foods that would make you go like this :eek: if you looked in your fridge/freezer/pantry and they were gone?

I'll be anxious to hear~ :)

I'll be back later with mine~ :wave:

[jamiebrandonsmom]

I have so many but my top five are:

Shredded wheat
Skim milk
Old fashion oats
FF Plain yogurt
Fruit

[bdette]

[WWCarol]

Maybe we should go with Top TEN?! 'Cause this is going to be too hard for me, too~

FF milk
oats
bananas
DV SF syrups
FFyogurt
Barbara's shredded wheat
Dr. Praeger's veggie burgers
popcorn
fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables (that's probably more than one!) ;)

This actually happened to me this week (busy with finals, and we forgot to go food shopping)

Skim milk
Bananas
Tomatos/Cucumbers
Whole wheat angel hair pasta (cooks fast!)

[bookwoman]

What an interesting question. I must have bananas, skim milk, veggies, couscous, and sugar free pudding. I also like to have on hand oatmeal, oatbran (how else can I make WW Carol's delicious baked oatmeal), ff plain yogurt, soy burgers, and Thomas' light multigrain English muffins. If I have these staples in my fridge or pantry, I have no problem staying OP on Core. Life's a little harder without them! :crazy:
