One of my fiance's favorite foods I make are my breakfast sammies. They've become a bit of a "tradition" on weekends here, with our weekend being a day longer than most we get to celebrate together a little longer than regular couples. On Fridays I jump a little "off program" in the sense I don't make sure anything's all natural for my breakfast but I'm pretty sure it's not loaded too much with unhealthy options in the sense that the meatballs are the worse part of my meatball omelet but the sauce is a homemade sauce & meatballs. I no longer opt for the supposed "healthier" fake eggs but instead count the extra point per egg for a whole, natural "what comes outta the chicken" style egg and not something processed into a carton. Basically I end up justifying the fact that it's not all organic or totally unprocessed once a week (sometimes less) to enjoy my big & tasty, delicious meatball omelet.
But that leaves me with Saturday, & Sunday mornings... which we generally eat at home. Some d
ays I make a great buckwheat pancake (I love mine with freshly ground peanut butter on it) and some days I make my breakfast sammies. The problem is, up until now I really did just keep using the highly processed ingredients; being completely ignorant to the fact they carry a delicious, light and all natural sausage!This is all a progress in process so to speak, and I'm honored to share my new findings (many of you will probably go "DUH" with some of my findings while hopefully a few of you will go "aha!") with my readers. I'm slowly finding affordable, KEY WORD THERE "Affordable", alternatives that are healthy.
Here's the "Remake" of the recipe:
- 1 Food For Life Muffin, toasted (I used to use the very processed Arnold's Sandwich Thins & do sometimes still use them, as finding unprocessed breads is expensive & hard! The Sandwich Thins come in at {1} but are much more processed w/additives) (2)
- 3 egg whites, fried hard (fry egg w/pam in non-teflon pan) (1)
- 1/4 tsp. Cajun Spice (the Whole Foods Co-op has a nice organic spice array)
- 1 tsp. ground flax seed
- Dash Salt & Pepper (I use sea salt & organic pepper)
- 1 slice Horizon Organic American Singles cheese (1)
- 2 links Jones Dairy Farm Sausage (ingredients: pork, cooked rice, water, sea salt & spices) (2)
Heat up fully cooked sausage links (Jones' does offer a patty but my Wegmans doesn't carry them so I use the links, which work fine.. just a little harder to keep in the muffin).
Place egg, sausage & slice of cheese on top of muffin bottom & top with muffin top.
*NOTE: Each of the items pictured are linked to Wegmans website to show you any information.
Other options:
- add grilled veggies (onions & peppers)
- you can find other meat alternatives but watch the processing of anything packaged
- remember if you go meatless you save 2 points® also
