Happy Saturday all! You all are seriously AWESOME! I LOVE reading all the “cool” places you want to sport your Danica’s Daily T-Shirts. I am thinking the winners totally need to send pictures to show us their cool place they wore theirs ~ what do you think?
This morning started with a quick trip to my local Weight Watcher’s Meeting, not for my weigh in, but, to pick up a Deluxe Kit for one of my friends. I have been checking ever since they sold out in November. I am so excited that they are FINALLY back in stock, but, they are going FAST so if you want one, go to your local Weight Watcher’s location before they sell out.
It is FREEZING here today (I know, not technically, it’s only in the 40’s, but, that’s cold for California). I wanted something WARM for breakfast.
I started off with an Orowheat Double Fiber English Muffin topped with ICBINB spray (3 PP)
Then, I added a “fried” egg (2 PP).
One Morning Star Veggie Sausage Patty (2 PP)
MMMMM ~ I am totally adding that melted Buffalo Wing Cheese NEXT time for the complete Sausage Egg CHEESE McMuffin.
Slice DIAGONALLY in half ~ and yes, it totally counts as diagonal on ROUND sandwiches!
Dig in! Not too shabby for 7 points+ when a regular Sausage Egg McMuffin is 12 points+.
I spent the morning and a good chunk of the afternoon working on Friends For Weight Loss trying to fix our groups. The Husband was nice and brought me a Dirty Latte~4 PP (probably because of the words coming out of my mouth ~ I kid LOL). I wish I knew techie stuff more….Luckily Zesty Cook is helping out now so the fix should happen soon!
Working Lunch ~ I really wanted more leftover Crockpot Split Pea Soup but The Husband convinced me it was time to put down the bowl of green Soup and venture out
Subway Turkey Avocado on 9-Grain Honey Oat (8 PP)
Pop Chip LOVING! My friends over at PopChips know I am slightly addicted to their crunchy snacks so they made sure we were included on their Christmas list <3!
No better time than the “present” to dig in! I pretty much LOVE every flavor, but, I think BBQ tops the charts.
They only went up by ONE points+ from 2 to 3. Note, you actually can get 20 for 3 points+.
FREE POINTS+ AFTERNOON SNACKAGE
We had a “date” tonight with our niece. We let her pick to go out to eat or have me cook and to go to a movie. She ALWAYS picks eating out LOL ~ Chevy’s Fresh Mex.
I honestly could probably just take and hoard this entire basket of chips and salsa and call it good. But, I refrained, portioned out 12 chips on my napkin and broke them into pieces as I ate them so they lasted until our food game. (4 pp for the chips and the salsa is FREE)
I picked the Grilled Fajita Salad Tossed Table Side ~ “Sizzling Grilled shrimp, greens, roasted poblano peppers and onions, cojita and jack cheese, PEPITA seeds, AVOCADO, pico de gallo, tortilla strips”
The nutritional information on their site includes their full fat dressing which I didn’t use. So, I am estimating my points+ based on the ingredients in the salad. (10 points+)
My dressing ~ Ummmm, an entire container of salsa (0 points+)
The movie we watched was Gulliver’s Travel’s….It’s actually pretty funny, corny and kid like, but, fun nonetheless.
Q’s
Do you cut your sandwiches in half? If so, what direction?
I pretty much ALWAYS cut my sandwiches in half because it “feels” like more when you get to pick up two pieces. Oh and I am TOTALLY a diagonal person all the way ~ It makes your sandwich taste better.
Night all!
Mary (A Merry Life) says
I love cutting sandwiches diagonally too! Even if round. 😉
That sausage egg mcmuffin look so good! I really wish I could find plain wheat mcmuffins here but so far it looks like they don’t exist in NZ. Maybe I’ll have to make them myself.
Roz says
I’m a diagonal sandwich cutter. OMG….is that an orange tree behind your latte???? How cool is that????
Ruby W. says
I like it diagonal because the corner is easier to fit into my small mouth. =)
Marisa @ Loser for Life says
Love your sausage mcmuffin! I have mock egg mcmuffins a lot – they hold me over so well!
I share in the POPchip love. Bbq is my fave, too with cheddar being a close second!
You guys are such a great Aunt and Uncle! So nice to spend time with your niece like that!
leslie says
Since my 88 yr old MIL moved in with us, I started cutting them in quarters (easier for her to eat). I’m a fan of triangles, but cut squares sometimes to keep it interesting,lol!
andrea says
I love Chevy’s!! yo did such a great job staying on program, …. work it girl!!
Noura says
I’m a diagonal cutter too!!! My fave popchip is sea salt & vinegar. I’m a SS/V fanatic & this is the 1st “friendly” version I’ve found. I’m not sure abt other flavors, but SS/V gives you *22* chips for 3P+. That’s a bargain.
I’m off to see Cirque du Soleil in a bit!
Liz says
I’m a diagonal cutter as well! I always asked my mom to cut my sandwiches into triangles, and I do the same as an adult 🙂
renee@mykitchenadventures says
always cut in half diagonally. I guess its true…I eat with my eyes first, as they say!
I had a serious love affair with the cheddar pop chips last year! lol
Lindy says
I love your refrain on the chips & salsa(a weakness of mine) , I love the idea of the chips broken into pieces until the food comes . That is an awesome idea. How sweet ya’ll take your niece on a date. Diagonal cutter also!
Jenn from A Girl Who Loves Cupcakes says
That sausage muffin looks SOOOOOOO good! Now, I really want one! I always cut my sandwiches in half just because I like to see the inside and it totally makes for a better picture.
mary (what's cookin' with mary) says
Always diagonally! I don’t know why, but it seems like it tastes better than when you cut it vertically 😉 I also like biting off the pointy ends when cut diagonally, but then again I am an odd duck !
Chips & Salsa AND Bread & Butter and my weakness when going out to eat. LOVE them! I try to no go in too starving so I don’t hoover them ;P
Melissa Cohoe says
Another great day of food! Looking at your site makes me HUNGRY! The pictures look so appetizing!
I am not one to eat too many sandwiches, but I agree with the feeling of getting “more” when it is cut in half!
Marcia says
I think I’m going to have your egg McMuffin for dinner cause it looks so good but I just discoved the Morning Star “veggie” bacon…..2 for 1 point. It looks kinda funny but tastes good so I’m going to put that on my sandwich instead of sausage. BTW, I LOVE the banana ice cream with one package of Splenda and 1 TBS cocoa. Tastes like a frozen banana at the beach.
janetha @ meals and moves says
chevy’s chips are like crack!
Lauryn says
Haha! Thats so funny I thought of YOU today when we were eating lunch at a mexican restaurant and how you taught me to portion out 12 chips! I ate a bit more today, but oh well, only ate about half my entree! So its ok!!! ALSO i think someone has a birthday comming up soon….:)
Colleen Richards says
Love Triangles , sanditches always taste better cut that way even at 58 years old! LOL!
Carolynne says
I am so jealous that your Subway has avocado!! I am super obsessed with Subway right now and the avocado would just put me over the edge!! Yum 😀
Sarah (Sarah Learns) says
my mom never cut our sandwiches diagonally when we were growing up – she just cut them in half. i think that’s why always just cut mine in half!
Lisa says
I cut mine in half diagonally as well. How do you cook your egg? It always looks so perfect.
