Pancakes and Turkey Bacon this Morning!

It has been way, way, too long since I've had some Pancakes! The other day I bought a box of Bisquick Heart Smart. It's a Low Fat and 0 Cholesterol pancake mix. There are 190 calories and 32 net carbs per serving, 3 Pancakes per serving. I used Egg Beater's instead of 1 Egg to prepare the mix with. I used my flat top griddle to cook them on, along with my Jennie - O Turkey Bacon. For the Pancakes I topped them with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and Joseph's Maple Sugar Free Syrup.






The pancakes came out nice and fluffy, they hit the spot! And if you have Diabetes 2, like myself, you have to try this Joseph's Sugar Free Maple Syrup! No difference in taste from regular Syrup and it's only 35 calories, 0 fat, and 9 carbs per serving. Everything hit the spot, It won't be so long in between Pancakes!

Grilled Ham and Swiss Sandwich w/ Chunky Baked Potato with Cheddar and Bacon Soup

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Ham and Swiss Sandwich w/ Chunky Baked Potato with Cheddar and Bacon Soup

Another day and another 2" of snow! We just get our driveway and walks clear and snows again, HO HO HO! They say by Thursday though it's going to hit 50 degrees. Dropped of the food I had bought for the Free Food Store and that was about it for the day. I did get in an on-line Scrabble Tournament, love playing Scrabble! For dinner I kept it simple and a real comfort food meal. I prepared a Grilled Ham and Swiss Sandwich w/ Chunky Baked Potato with Cheddar and Bacon Soup.

My cousin gave my Mom an Appleton Farms Smoked Ham-Shank Portion, which quite possibly be the best tasting Baked Ham we had ever tasted or prepared! Just an incredible taste and very moist and tender. This is one good Ham. My cousin and her family buy them all the time from Aldi, at 99 cents a lb. We'll be buying our Hams there from now on. I sliced some Ham off for the Sandwich. I used Klosterman Wheat Bread and 2 slices of Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese. Put the Ham and Cheese on the Bread and got out the flat top griddle. I heated the griddle up putting a 1/2 tablespoon of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter on it and then grilling my Sandwich, about 3 minutes each side till golden brown.

For my Soup I used Campbell's Chunky Baked Potato With Cheddar and Bacon Bits. I love thick Soups and this one works! It's thick with nice chunks of Potato, it's 200 calories and 20 net carbs per serving. As always the simplest meals are sometimes the best! For dessert later a Del Monte No Sugar Added Mango Chunk Cup.

The Griddle means Pancakes!

It's about 6:45 am and not a creature is stirring, but ME! I go out and get the Saturday papers, and it's a beautiful morning! A beautiful morning deserves a great Breakfast start. So I heated up the flat griddle and mixed up some Pancake Batter. I always use New Hope Mills Pancake Mix. It makes some nice and fluffy Pancakes while they are only 200 calories and 6 carbs per serving (4 Pancakes). I only had 2 of them and saved the other 2 for Mom. So my calorie count was only 100 and carbs 3! You can't beat that and throw in how good they are. I used Joesph's Sugarless Maple Flavored Syrup, 35 calories and 9 carbs. Another great one when your watching the calories and carbs, I only used a 1/2 a serving of this also. I then topped it with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter.

For the Bacon I used one I had never tried until earlier this week, Jennie - O Turkey Bacon. I really prefer this over what I had been using. The taste is better, fries up crisper, and is 15 less calories for 3 slices! 3 slices are 90 calories and 0 carbs.

I've got the dishes done, another advantage of using the griddle 1 pan to clean, the paper read, and the hot Bigelow Decaf Green Tea drank. I'm ready to get out and enjoy this beautiful day!
