HG's Alternate Ultimate Omelette

Today we woke up extra early (for Sunday) and headed to church and helped my generous father make breakfast for the church.  We made taquitos and fruit. I had every intention of eating the taquitos and the fruit (and tracking them:) But after running around, burning my hands and only having 3 minutes to get to our seats, I thought I would wait and cook this omelet recipe I saw on Hungry Girl this week- check it out here!


Ingredients: 


Filling
1 frozen meatless or turkey sausage patty with 80 calories or less (like the kind by Morningstar Farms or Jimmy Dean)
2/3 cup of Jimmy Dean crumbles
1 slice center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced bell pepper
1/4 cup diced tomato

Omelette
3/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
3 tbsp. shredded fat-free cheddar cheese


Instructions: 


Prepare sausage patty and bacon in a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray or on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave. (Refer to packages for cook times and temperatures.) Chop or crumble and set aside in a bowl.

Bring a medium skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and pepper. Cook and stir until softened, 3 - 5 minutes. Transfer veggies to the bowl with sausage and bacon. Add tomato, stir, and set aside.

If needed, wash and dry skillet. Remove from heat, re-spray, and bring to medium heat. Add egg substitute and let it coat the skillet bottom. Cover and cook until solid enough to flip, about 3 minutes.

Flip egg and top one half with filling. Sprinkle filling with cheese. Cover skillet and cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute.

Fold egg over filling and transfer to a plate. 


I didn't take a picture because it was 12:30, I hadn't eaten anything and was kinda hungry! This was my first omelet to ever make and it didn't quite "look" like an omelet but it TASTED FANTASTIC!! There was SOOOOO MUCH FOOD! It kept me satisfied until 5:00 and that was after 1 work out and a 3 mile walk with my mom!! I will def. be making this more often!!


Happy Eating!

A New Discovery!

Last week I posted an awesome breakfast Taquito reciepe.  I made it again today and changed up one tiny thing. My FABULOUS coworker (who is also doing WW) brought me this Lavash that she learned about in her WW meeting.  I was able to make a breakfast Burrito! It was VERY VERY FILLING.  We ate about 9:15 and I wasn't even hungry until 1:00.  Here are the details:

1/2 cup of Egg Beaters and egg white- 2PP:

2/3 cup of Jimmy Dean Sausage- 2 PP:

1 slice of Kraft FF cheese- 1 PP:

Lavash- 3 PP:

IT is the size of the Burrito Tortillas that ou can get for 5 PP! 

For 8 PP you get this baby:

Try this for breakfast some day. It does not take long to make! 

Happy eating!

Breakfast Taquitos

Hi my name is Christie and I used to be a Whataburger addict……

If you live in Corpus Christi you have more than likely eaten  a Whataburger Taquitos for breakfast.  My personal favorite is Sausage and Egg Taquito with Cheese.  They are quite delicious and their PP is 12! Not too bad if that is what you want to use your points for breakfast but that is not too good if you can eat the same thing for less PP! Sometimes they are not even that big leaving you feel unsatisfied and you end of up eating something else not too long after for even more PP. 

Last week the wonderful WW leader Neida posted on Facebook what she had for breakfast.  It sounds just like a Whataburger Taquito. I thought that I would pick up the ingredients and try it this weekend. My wonderful husband love, love , loves breakfast so I thought we would love this idea.  Here is the 411 on how to make your own Whataburger Taquitos at home for almost half of the PP!

Sausage, Egg and Cheese Taquito

1 Mission Carb Balance Tortilla- 2 PP

2/3 Cup of Jimmy Dean Turkey Crumbles-2 PP

½ Cup of Egg Beaters- 2 PP

1 slice of Kraft FF Cheese- 1 PP

TOTAL:  7 PP

**I don't have a picture of the final product as I was half way through before I realized that that was something I should share!**

Heat the crumbles in a pan or in the microwave.  This takes about 5 minutes. Towards the end of the 5 minutes put the eggbeaters in pan and cook; these cook very quickly.  **You can add the egg to the crumbles to Heat the tortilla in the microwave.   After everything is cooked, assemble in the tortilla. Add the cheese first as the hot contents allow it to melt. 

These were very delicious and tasted just like Whataburgers and maybe even better.   Thanks Neida for the enlighting me!  It was very simple to make and allow your weekend to be that much better…aside from not having to work!

Happy Eating!
