Breakfast Bowls - Boca Style (5)

One of my favorite breakfasts are the Jimmie Dean Breakfast D-Lite Bowls® (made with either turkey bacon or turkey sausage) but I have a problem keeping them around the house when I buy them! I love it when they run sales on them for about $1.99 a bowl too!

While this breakfast bowl isn't quite the same version, I got the idea from having so many of the bowls around & some "leftover" ingredients that served well as a quick morning fix!

This version is so quick and easy & generally I make it with leftovers from the fridge (I make a batch of the low fat Bisquick® biscuits & have some left over, grill up an extra Bruschetta burger when I'm making them for lunch/dinner). The best part is this breakfast bowl is so filling I guarantee it will easily take you into lunch time before you're feeling any hunger pangs!

Breakfast Bowl - Boca Style (5)

Serves 1

2 Mini reduced fat biscuits (see recipe from Spark People, I make the biscuit 1/2 sized so you get 2 biscuits for a nutritional value of 3 pts or use one large biscuit) (3)
1/4 C. fat free shredded cheddar (1)
1 Boca Bruschetta Burger® (I usually grill up 1 extra & have it in the fridge) (1)

Instructions:

• Break up biscuit into a microwave safe bowl.
• Layer shredded ff cheddar cheese with biscuit.
• Break up Bruschetta Burger & mix through biscuits & cheese.
• Microwave for approximately 1 1/2 minutes (until cheese is melted & ingredients are warm)
  

Other options:

• add egg substitute equal to 1 egg or 3 egg whites - mix through ingredients and microwave until eggs are set (adds 1 point® - making entire dish 6 points®)
• replace Bruschetta burger with turkey sausage or turkey bacon (adjust points accordingly)

Realizing the Changes

This weekend served as a HUGE reminder to me that I truly have changed my LIFE and not just been "dieting". I hate that word. LOL

My absolute BFF from college came for an extended long weekend... she came up on Friday with her daughter & picked me up to take me off to Pittsburgh! I love that town! We spent the day at the Andy Warhol Museum. What an amazing place & amazing man. I can't get over how much he's impacted our world! If you get a chance, see it!

What I did end up doing was not paying such close attention to what I ate. We started out Friday with a "must have" if you visit Pittsburgh... a Primanti Bros. sandwich! Yeah, loaded with fries & slaw on a big slice of Italian bread. While I'm sure it's far from "low" in points/calories/fat it's not truly the worse thing on earth I could ever eat, but it was the start of kind of ignoring my normal choices. We hit the Primanti Bros. on the Strip, a first for me! Of course it was amazing!

Saturday we started out well, and I pretty much ended up having a pretty "normal" day for me. I loved it because I finally got to show my friend that I truly have changed and for the better. I have begun a whole new healthy lifestyle. I was so proud because not only did I show that I know what I'm doing (well along with still learning lol), but it also seemed to inspire her, which is something I hope to do with every person I touch in this world. It's not about weight, it's about health. I could care less if someone I love weighs 800 pounds or 80, if they're healthy and eating healthy... keeping them in my life for longer. It's only obvious that "healthy" also ends up with being a "healthy" weight too... but that's a "side effect" if you ask me.

So, anyways, Saturday we started the day with some chocolate peanut butter oatmeal. That breakfast always sticks to your ribs. I can't recall what else we at that day but it was mostly all good for us foods, new things I've found that I wanted to share with Terri & her daughter. BTW they liked the "Better 'n Peanut Butter" in the oatmeal! I'm personally in love with it myself! We had some Bruschetta Boca Burgers (N.I. 70 cal/1.5g fat/3.5g fiber) (I am NOT a Boca burger fan... detest anything that pretends to be a "meat" but in this case it is amazing in flavor & when put on an Arnold's Sandwich Thin with some fat free Ranch...ooooh my!).

For dinner, the Bruschetta Burgers with fresh corn on the cob, some chopped up cauliflower & cucumbers with fat free ranch dip - topped off with a handful of light Lays chips. Oddly enough it was a total vegetarian meal, not on purpose, and unbelievably awesome! It also was very much a typical meal for me & a great way to share some new products I've found to help make my "healthy lifestyle" a success!

We even went to the gym and I shared my "work out" ideas with her, showing her that the workout does NOT have to be a terrible, hard, thing. In 90+ temps it was a welcome to hit that pool & walk together, not to mention we got to chit chat while we "worked out". What more could you ask for?

But alas, Sunday we misbehaved a bit. After starting the day with my Naked (always a plus) and of course introducing my friend & her daughter to the glories of sweet, sweet Naked earlier in the weekend (Friday actually LOL). We did end up getting Krispy Kreme donuts, which was NOT a good move. Needless to say, I not only misbehaved in eating more than I should (1 is more than I ever should) but add to that a midnight run "South of the Border" aka to Taco Bell! Do you know how long it's been since I've eaten food that greasy & disgusting? LOL My stomach does!

By Sunday night, after our great time at the fireworks my stomach made sure I knew that I had made the wrong choices. Sick to my stomach and eventually with issues better left unmentioned here in blog world I knew that my body was really angry at what I had done. I had resorted, for about a 24 hour period, back to the way I used to eat every day of my life and it wasn't impressed.

Monday, we chilled a bit before they left but let me tell you my stomach did not chill at all. Okay, so I'm a little slow but it hit me finally... I had made these changes in my life long before that day but realized that I honestly had MADE them without realizing it. At that point I just sat back, sore belly and all, and went "WOW, I'm so proud of you!" because it showed me my changes were NOT a "DIET"..... they were a lifestyle change and I wasn't happy with "going back" to the old lifestyle!
