Veggie burger!!! Veggie burger!! Veggie Burger!!
Also Pasta Ole!!

I agree with the Veggie burger!!

Also recently we had chicken parmigiana which was awesome! Would love that to come back.

The sea salt and vinegar chips were really good too!

I was on the program in the mid/last 1990's. I loved these boil in bag Wild Rice and Spagetthi and Tomato Sauce, they had.

I thought of two more...the carrot cake and my absolute favorite Shrimp Stir Fry! It came in a bag like the chicken fajita's.

I've been off and on the program since the 1990's too:
Pasta Ole
Veggie Burger
boil-in-bag Rice Medley
Southwest Ramen Noodles
Carrot Cake
Chocolate Mint bar since I didn't get to try it and I LOVE chocolate mint
Beef & Rice bowl
Chicken in Plum Sauce (!!!);
Teriyaki Beefsteak
Belgian waffle

Another 90s flashback

I loved the Black Bean Soup!

i loooove choc mint too, and i am so bummed i didn't get to try it bring it back JC!!!

thail lemongrass chicken!!

I[font="Garamond"] remember Chicken in Plum sauce...being a 90"s beginner too.

A lot of the early food was that gross shelf life of a 100 years stuff...all set with that.

I wish they would bring back the old prices....we just went up 10cents on all items, due to the gas prices

Pasta Ole, Pasta Ole, Pasta Ole!!!!!

I am contemplating on returning to the program and was checking out the foods....I am soooooo disappointed that the PASTA OLE is not on the list...I had few lunches I enjoyed, but that one was one of the best!! Are they thinking of bringing it back??

Also they used to feature seasonal foods...I don't see anythign like that...are those gone as well?

Thanks, Melissa

Wow, what is Pasta Ole? Seems like a lot of votes for that one! I remember an old lunch that I wish they still had - Chicken Stir fry, I loved to toss it in a wok! Chicken Parm sounds great too, I would love to see new foods, especially lunches.

I still miss the Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake! It was soooooooooooooo delicious!

Hello! The pasta ole, if I remember correctly, was an orzo pasta with corn, black beans, a few other veggies, in a delicious sauce.

I do not know why they would retire this entree as many ordered it every week. Because of the orzo and the beans, it was hands down one of the most filling lunches. If I had to guess, it was probably one of the highest selling items after the turkey burger, although only JC knows that for sure.

My only guess is that at some point they changed food manufacturers and pasta ole was no longer an option. Then again, who knows?

Although I love this thread, will JC ever bring back an item such as Pasta Ole? Has an item ever been brought back in the history of JC that wasn't seasonal?

Stuffed Shells were AWESOME. I wish they would bring that back!

I originally started JC in 1997. They had a drink that would replace some of your water. It was Cranberry Apple Cider! OMG!!!!! when I knew they were discontinuing it I bought all my center had. I continued drinking it after I lost my weight. I wish they would bring that back. It was great in the winter. I could have that while everyone else enjoyed their high sugar and calorie versions.

1. Beef Sirloin with Rice

2. Praline Anytime Bar

3. Hot Apple Crisp

4. Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake

The only thing that was a permanent item when I started that was retired was the beef sirlion and rice bowl. I do miss it but some seasonal items should be made staples like the chocolate mint bar and the apple crisp. I also wish they would can the shelf stable ravioli (no pun inteded) and bring back the ravioli florentine which had just disappeared when I signed up. Some of the entrees mentioned sound yummy like the pasta ole and chicken parm. :-)

Does anyone out there remember Fish Festiva? Any comments?

Well, being just on week three, Ihave no opinion, but sure would love to have tried the Pasta Ole and Praline anytime bars! They both sound wonerful!

Back in the early 90's the turkey dinner had sweet potatoes which I really liked. Also loved the chicken in plum sauce, and the sweet & sour shrimp from back then.

more recent favs that are sadly missing now are the AWESOME veggie burger, the beef sirloin rice bowl, and the fabulous apple crisp. Oh, and the soft chocolate chip cookies... small, yet delightful.

Add my vote for Pasta Ole. It was the best lunch. I just came back and was really sad to see it was no longer around. The first time through I had it several times a week.

There also used to be a pancake mix that made 3 pancakes. It was a dry mix and was pretty inexpensive. I used to have it on the weekends - I'd make banana pancakes.

[font="Comic Sans MS"][/font][color="#9932CC"][/color]I've only been on JC for a year now and wow!! all of those fav's sound great! Yes, Please bring 'em all back!!!

I miss the Sweet and Sour Shrimp Stir Fry. This was my absolute favorite at the time, I am still bummed they discontinued it.

Also from the late 90s I miss the Pasta Del Mar, which was angel hair pasta with shrimp and a cream sauce. Yum! Does anyone else remember this one?

I also really enjoyed the pancake mix in the pouch. It was easy to add variety by mixing in a fruit serving, like making apple pancakes, blueberry pancakes, banana pancakes, or peach pancakes. It was low-priced, but that is probably why they discontinued it, ha ha!

carrot cake... i loved that...!!! i wish i would have known they were getting rid of it.. i would have bought a case of them...

Sirloin Rice Bowl
Rasberry Cheesecake
Cheese Souffle
Veggie Burger
old Anytime Bars

I remember the Fish Festiva and I never liked it. Back to the 90's, they had a tomato soup that I loved and I'm with whoever said the Sweet and Sour Shrimp - it was packaged like the fajitas.

1. Chicken with plum sauce

2. Chicken golden gate

3. stuffed shells

I miss these old favs. PLEASE JC bring them back!!!

WHOA!!! What happened to the cinnamon twists....that was too fast. I know they were temporary but
they just got here! Everyone is asking for them!!!

The Cajun sausage & rice should definitely be brought back. It was my favorite dinner entre'.
I bought every last one that was available at my JC.

It kills me to hear some people didn't like it.

-Wayne

I think they should bring back the following...

Cheese Soufflé - Boy this was the best!

Beef Sirloin & Rice Bowl

Cheese Omelets

The Beef Rice Bowl was one of my favorites. I also miss the Thai Lemon Grass Chicken, and the Raspberry Pomegranate dressing.

thai lemon chicken

apple crisp

When I did the program beofre I adored the sirloin and rice bowl, pasta ole', and veggie burger - I was sad to see these gone

I mis the pasta ole' too!

Yes! with the Veggie Burger!
