update: weight watchers


so i tried a new food again this morning.

side note quickly, i'm at home today. sick, sick, sick. i actually made it to work but as i sat at the table with olivia i began to feel very hot and light headed. we took my temp and it was over 99 degrees so holly had me go home just to be on the safe side. and to say it's getting better would be a lie. so off to the urgent center at 9:30 i went. sinus infection.

once i got home i decided to try to eat a little breakfast. i pack my breakfast and lunch almost everyday so i decided to break open the lunch pail for a light egg sandwich.

i used a light thomas english muffin, kraft 2% american cheese, egg whites and (new!) veggie bacon from morning star.

now, this "bacon" doesn't really look all that appetizing but i've heard great things about it from julie over at peanut butter fingers. it kind of reminds me of plastic play food you'd have as a child, but alas, i wanted to try it because it's only 1 ww point for two slices!

so here's my yum-o breakfast sandwich...

see what i mean? doesn't look too great! but it was awesome and actually tasted very close to real bacon. dare i say i liked it just as much as turkey bacon or real pig bacon itself? i think i do!

you know who else loved it?

of course you do!
he couldn't even sit still for a pic he was so giddy!

gobbled it all up!

  1. Oh! I gotsta try that veg bacon! I would love a fake BLT. If you're in the mood for more experimenting, the Morningstar Maple Flavored "Sausage" Patties are pretty stinking amazing. They impress even the most voracious carnivore. Cheers to the continued healthy lifestyle, sisterly!
