Happy Tuesday all! I have decided I am just going to have to move on to find another bread I LOVE until I can convince Trader Joe’s to bring back their Fat Free Multi-Grain Bread. I might just have to start graveling, begging. pleading….something, nothing compares to that 3 points+ bread. It’s just not the same…..
I spent way too long in the bread section yesterday with my points+ calculator in hand. Several breads that I normally would LOVE have way too many points+ (like 5-6 for 2 slices) and others, well, they taste just so healthy LOL.
I finally ended up with 2 types in hand and this morning I tried Milton’s Healthy Whole Grain Bread for my 7 points+ egg-wich.
It was just OK…it tastes really healthy and I couldn’t even begin to fool The Husband with this one.
The good thing about all that fibery goodness ~ I wasn’t hungry all morning and didn’t even realize it was time for lunch when lunchtime rolled around.
Last night, The Husband made up a 4 Chef Salad’s for us ~ 2 for dinner and 2 for lunch.
Topped with Black Pepper Almond Slices, “Fried Onions” and 2 Tbsp Bolthouse Lite Yogurt Ranch for 6 points+.
I was still hungry after lunch and pondered a few things that I brought with me. In the end, I decided on this Pink Lady Apple for a 0 points+ dessert.
Mid afternoon I was totally eyeing the candy jar that was stocked with Reese’s PB Eggs, Mini Twixes and Snickers. I actually bought a bag of Trader Joe’s Salty & Sweet Trail Mix that I put up next to the jar to share.
Guess which one I picked and it was definitely more satisfying than the chocolate that would’ve left me hungry ~ go me! (4 points+)
I really missed out on walking to/from the train and at lunch today since it was pouring rain all day. When I walked in the door, we both agreed soup and grilled cheese sandwiches sounded delicious.
Grilled Ham & Cheese on Cracked Sour Dough (8 points+)
- 2 slices Cracked Wheat Sour Dough (3 points+ ~ not bad, but, it’s kinda dry)
- 1 slice the real deal Sharp Cheddar (2 points+)
- 1 oz Honey Ham (1 points+)
- 1 Tbsp Whipped Butter for the crispy, butter, crust
Served up with 1 cup Trader Joe’s Organic Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup (3 points+)
He dipped his sandwiches while mine never touched!
Off to relax, compete against The Husband getting the highest score in Bejeweled Blitz (OMG! I am so addicted!) and snack on half a personal watermelon for dessert!
Night all!
years ago on ross matthew’s blog a restaurant he went to dropped some item he loved – so he posted their phone number and asked everyone to call and ask for it back on the menu. They ended up putting it back on the menu AND giving him a job as spokesman! You should try that!
That grilled cheese looks so yummy! Sadly I have seen many things go from TJ’s and even calling they don’t bring em back! How about the amazing sourdough from the Julien bakery? It’s 1 pt + per slice I like it really filling but it does taste healthy, I usually only use one slice cause it is so filling. Oh and when I first read your post title I thought it said To Breed or Not to Breed!! LMAO I was like what the heck is Danica posting!! 🙂
YUM!!! Where do I find the Julien bread?
That is too bad about the Trader Joe’s bread.. You might want to try Killer Dave’s Bread Light and it is 3pt+ for two slices and it is so good! It is all that I use for my sandwiches anymore 🙂
PS I love your blog
I am new to WW and love seeing your daily eats.
Have you tried Progresso’s High Fiber Creamy Tomato Basil Soup? So delicious! It is only 1 pt for 1 cup the old way. Not sure on the new way. I make it often. YUMMY!!!
Try “Sprout” bread at TJ’s. 1pt per slice. I like it toasted the best:)
There is just something about a grilled cheese that makes the world right again 🙂 You always have the BEST looking salads!!!!
Hang in there with the bread choices, eventually the taste buds change. Grilled cheese and tomato soup is such a good comfort meal.
I actually eat the Merita Smartwhite bread. It is 1PP per slice. And very yummy!
Do you have a Costco membership? Ours has this alpine valley organic bread. Its a smaller slice, but its 2 slices for 3 points. Lots of fiber too. They have 2 different varieties.
Hi Randi,
We do have a Costco membership. I went there today and they didn’t have anything called Alpine Valley or any organic breads for that matter. I wonder if it is local to your Costco?
Thanks for the suggestion though ~ I will definitely look out for it!

Hi Danica
Here is the website to the bread. Our costco carries 2 different kinds. http://www.alpinevalleybread.com/. Maybe yours can order it.
