Bring back Classico Chicken Parm! and Mesquite Chicken - both delicious! I also love the regular pancakes and the regular pretzels. The soups are awful and so are the salads to go
Becky Sue
I agree that the soups need improvement. They need to come up with a different kind of soup.

I substitute Healthy Choice Chix Noodle for JC. It has less sodium, real chix, less calories and Fat.

Because I was OFF plan when these items were introduced... I would love the Apple Crisp and Pumpkin Cake to come back... fingers crossed for the fall!

As for meals - the Sirloin & Rice; Mesquite Chicken... I am sure there are others, but can't think of them off the top of my head... Oh, Chili Con Carne!

AND, the chocolate cherry cheesecake - Mmmm...
Becky Sue
I would love to try the apple crisp and Sirloin Beef. I heard they were both really good. I love pumpkin pie and hope they have another pumpkin dessert this fall.
Thanks for the information about the Healthy Choice Chicken Soup. I'm sure it is a lot cheaper than JC and you get more to eat.

I'm so sad that the mesquite chicken is going away! I just tried it for the first time the other night and it was SO good... Then I find out it is being discontinued... sad.gif Oh well... What are you gonna do?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the raspberry twists. I bought a tub of them on Saturday and my kids and hubby had completely gone through them by Monday! Grrr.... I will have to double up on those this Saturday!

WW always has a lot of Pumpkin recipes. I cant imagine that JC can't come up with a fitting dessert.

I loved the Classico Chicken Parm and the Hawaiian Chicken Salad. The new Fajita Chicken Salad is GROSS!
MudMouse
Crackers! What am I supposed to put my cheese and apples on?
Becky Sue
The Hawaiian and Turkey salad were the two best salad kits.

I absolutely loved the Silver Dollar Pancakes and Veggie Sausage. I am not a fan of blueberries so the blueberry pancakes are not for me. EVERYONE PLEASE contact JC and request foods you'd like to see brought back and PLEASE request the pancakes and sausage be brought back. They are something almost anyone would like and if people want to add fruit on top then go for it!
MollyRose
There used to be a steak that was AMAZING. Please bring that one back!

I also remember a lemon pepper fish that was really good. I'd love to see more fish. I tried the salmon this week but it was pretty "fishy" tasting and the texture was wierd. Too bad because teriaki salmon is usually one of my favorite dishes.

I was SOOOO sad to hear that they discontinued the Silver Dollar Pancakes and sausage. It was my favorite breakfast and I regularly ordered 4 each week!

I tried the Blueberry pancakes and was very disappointed. The flavor was a bit off. It is great that the sausage remained the same...love that sausage!

I am surprised that JC would chose to discontinue such a universally likeable item. By adding the blueberries to the pancakes, they exclude those people that do not like blueberries (including me). Let those people that like fruit in their pancakes just add them over the top!

PLEASE BRING BACK THE SILVER DOLLAR PANCAKES!!!!!
about three years ago they made the most awesome chicken with some sort of dressing that was to die for..i would order 4 a week....it was a frozen entree.....does anyone remember it??

I used to love the Pita Puffs! Wish they were back!!
HopeAngel5
GREAT IDEA....

Please bring back...


----the apple crisp PERMANENTLY
This can easily be volumized by adding a baked apple and voila and giant bowl of apple pie. What better way to add an apple a day for everyone!

------the pumpkin pie PERMANENTLY
This was so good I served it to family and they loved it

------Mesquite Chicken
the taste is the closest to grilled food on Jenny Craig

I never got the chance to try the apple crisp, pita puffs, lemon fish or beef with Sirloin. I heard they were all very good. My counselor said if everyone complains, they will bring back the old foods. I think almost all of the JC food is good. If it isn't selling, it might be because of the packaging or maybe the food just needs to be improved, instead of eliminated. The bars need improvement. They taste okay, but they need to get rid of the feeling you are chewing sand. I heard in Canada they had protein drinks and honey peanut bars that were really good.

I loved the Chili Con Carne and Mesquite Chicken... please bring them back!

The beef chili with beans is NOT as good!

Skinny Skinny Cow
Does anyone know what the new foods are going to be in the fall?
Becky Sue
I heard maybe cream of broccoli soup, but I haven't heard anything else.
NRB
I personally LOVE the Fajita Chicken Salad kit...do NOT like the Stawberry Shortcake (it's too small) and I totally MISS the Mesquite Chicken and the Pumpkin Pie....JC people...BRING THESE ITEMS BACK!!
Becky Sue
I like the strawberry shortcake, but wish it was as big as the lemon and chocolate cakes they have. It was nice to have something different. I hope they have some kind of pumpkin dessert in October. I like pie the best, but any pumpkin dessert would be okay.
lovelydaiz
Decided to add my $.02,

I will have to say they need to bring back the original Chili Con Carne, Mesquite Chicken and my all time fav... Cheese Omlette I loved that breakfast!!!! tongue.gif
Becky Sue
The Chili Con Carne needs to go in a microwave bowl for work. I would love a cheese omelet or any kind of omelet. I wish they would have fat free pudding cups in place of the fruit cups. I get tired of the applesauce and fruit cups.
Sharp
Please bring back chili concarne, pumpkin cake (love that so much!!!!!) regular pancakes and sausage and absolutely the homestyle chicken and noodles....those have been my staples and now they're gone. Please please please bring them back!
Becky Sue
I would like a breakfast egg entree with no cheese sauce on it.
I also would like a vanilla cake with no frosting.
I wish we could buy the tuna or chicken salad by itself, without the fruit cup for a lower charge. I would rather eat a fresh piece of fruit.
cherylsea
LOVED the Everything Crackers - please bring those back!!
amoyer
I ONLY like the Chicken Fajita kit. The others have way too much celery in them, which I dislike. I wish they wouldn't have discountinued the Asian Sesame dressing. IT'S THE BEST!!!
Ldavis
Regular pancakes... really miss them

I agree with you on the salad kits without the fruit cup or applesauce, I rarely eat them instead adding fresh fruit instead. I like the crackers the kits come with but I like to add the tuna or chicken to a spinach salad or in a cored out tomatoe and use the crackers like crutons.........

I'm really dating myself here (I did this program for the first time back in 1993), but I would love to have the sweet & sour shrimp come back. It came in a package like the fajitas, and the shrimp, onions, & pineapple were cooked on the stovetop, and it came with rice that you had to microwave. It was one of my all time favorites. I also liked the teriyaki beefsteak and the chicken with plum sauce. The raspberry sorbet was really good. The old soft chocolate chip cookies were WAY better than this new one (small, but tasty).

More "recent" dishes that I miss... the sirloin rice bowl! I also was a great fan of the Island style chicken, but I am probably the only person who misses it (it was VERY unpopular). I liked the BBQ pita puffs much better than the brushetta chips. For a while they even had a vareity of little packets of mixed nuts, soy thingys, etc. that I really liked. Carrot cake, 'nuff said! Last years pumpkin cake was really tasty. Oh, and I agree with everyone who mentioned the apple crisp. We need more fruit on this plan! Maybe a tiny fruit pie of some sort?

The cheddar crackers were super good and I'm hoping for a traditional pumpkin pie for the fall.

yes, then need to bring back the chicken parmasen, that was excellent.
9tofiveworkingmom
The Classico Chicken Parm and also the Beef Sirloin with Rice were two fantastic items. They were such a treat. I couldn't wait until dinner time so I could have them. Please bring them both back!
Po-Tater
BRING BACK THE THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING !!!! I rememberd that when I was on the program back in the late 90's.

I just found this out yesterday when I ordered it and was told it they no longer have it. I really enjoyed the Aloha Beef. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

I never got to try the Everything Crackers.
caseysma
I have heard WONDERFUL things about the classic chicken parm...please ring it back!

I also liked the potato soup....
Carrot cake from back in the day....
Toffe Bites were delicious!

I'm only on week 3, but I must say that the soups are positively nasty. I've done okay with almost all of the other foods I've tried. Some are better than others. However, the soups are just awful! I hope someone at JC is reading this thread.

I agree that the soups are terrible and I don't like the pizza either. The beef stew is good, but that really isn't soup. Everyone has a different opinion, but I think Healthy Choice from the grocery store has better soup than JC. I also think Weight Watchers and Lean Cruisine has better pizza than JC for a lower cost.

I agree about the pizza-tasted like a stale shoe sole with sauce and cheese. Disappointing.

Agree .. had a vinegar/sour smell to it. The Soupitizers are disgusting .. no texture, all mushy. Missing Strawberry Shortcake already sad.gif
HopefulVickie
JC needs to master some lunches instead of so much focus on desserts. I can't eat the desserts anyway. They have too much sugar....and I'm NOT diabetic. Just can't lose with all that sugar, although, I'd like to eat a cheesecake every day.

Lunches are terrible. I'm eat egg breakfast items for lunches. The nutritionals are close.
Greece
I want them to bring back the Aloha Beef. I also agree that the lunches really need to be improved. I like a decent number of breakfast, dinner and deserts but only like a few of the lunches.

Does anyone from JC actually read these boards. Just wondering because I haven't seen any response from them. I hope they do and are paying attention to the food requests. I also think it is odd that our consultants are told that we need to go online to let them know we want a food and that telling them doesn't work.

desire2bethin
Hi....I'm repeating myself, somewhat....but I'll say it again in the RIGHT forum ..lol

Please bring back.....

The Carrot Cake or The Pumpkin Cake (almost the same thing....either will do...)

Chicken, Cheese and Rice Burrito (enchilada?)---lunch

Thai Lemongrass Chicken (had noodles...DELISH! ...sweet and spicy sauce)---lunch

also the Chicken with wild rice---lunch ---was also good

Chicken and Asparagus Crepes w/ yummo mushroom sauce---dinner

(miss ALL VERY MUCH....and really should come back...even if only
as seasonal items that come back on a yearly basis)
