Deeelicious breakfast options

Now I know this wont work for all stages since its bread based... but you can modify to your taste :-) I am in LOVE with jimmy deans de-lites breakfast sammies but at $5 for 4 sandwiches I figured I could make them much cheaper. They also use full fat cheese so I figured I could cut some fat/calories there as well! I am at the point where I need a nice 'hearty' filling breakfast or I am just hungry all day long... these really fill me up! I typically end up eating a little more than half... or just using 1/2 of the enlgish muffin! I puchased one of those egg thingies at Bed Bath and Beyond for less than $3 (for 2)... its the little round ring so you can make round egg patties - what an invention. Thats the only 'tool' you need! For my own version of jimmy deans b-fast sammies  Eggs - or egg beaters, or egg beaters whites, or egg whites Turkey Bacon or Turkey Sausage Patties Trader Joes whole wheat english muffins I made a bunch of the egg patties on Sunday... you can add some veggies in there, and/or cheese whatever you like. Cook up the bacon/sausage. I make the individual sammies with the english muffin, either the bacon or sausage and put them in the freezer. At work we thankfully have a toaster so I toast the muffin and micro the egg/meat and put it together - super yummy, protein AND fiber packed! I dont have the nutritional info because Ive been lazy and not put it into fitday yet... the TJs enlish muffins arnt bad on the carbs - you could use just one 1/2 of the muffin if you want to cut back on the bread. The turkey bacon/sausage is low fat and depending on the egg/egg substitiute you also have little to no fat. (you can cook the bacon in the micro, on the stove or in the oven... I like mine chewy so I do stove top, the micro and oven make it crispy!) If you want to be super lazy Wal Mart sells egg patties already made in the freezer section - they are with the morningstar farms/boca burgers and there were 6 in the bag for less than $4...  each patty had 4g of fat in it but they are big - you could really cut in half and use it to make 2 sammies....  easy way to put together the sandwich if you dont want to cook! I also like to make bfast burritos using TJs Lo Carb Whole Wheat wraps - they only have 6g carbs in it (and 4g fiber!)... they are thin and light so its perfect to use and not be too bread-y!

Sounds good.  Thanks for sharing.

I would love to try that... but the english muffin would give me the foamies.  It does sound really good though Jenn.

This is a great idea! I love the "round eggs" like that and cooking it ahead of time is such a good idea. I don't know why I never thought of doing it myself if we heat up the "store bought" stuff! Do you freeze them so they won't go bad before you use them?  Thanks for sharing!

I make up the whole sammie and freeze it - then at work I heat up the insides and toast the muffin... you could micro the whole thing but I like my muffin toasted!

You always have such great ideas, advice and opinions. (Except for eating rattlesnake -eeeek!) LOL I have found them very informative on my journey so far. Thanks for sharing. I'll need all the help I can get.  xo Mare

mmmmmm, thanks for the idea, Jennifer. Ramona

Thank you Thank you.  That sounds so good.  Breakfast has been one of my hardest meals to figure out.  Especially on the weekends when I cook a big breakfast for my kids.  I think they would like this too.  Thanks again.  Donna

Thanks for this!!  Breakfast is my hardest meal.  I never know what to eat and nothing ever sounds/looks good... With these in my freezer, it will make a good/quick alternative to my just grabbing some cottage cheese!

What a great yummy sounding quicky breakfast. Sounds yummy. Never heard of a sammie. Thanks Karla
