Happy Monday all! You all are AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for all the encouragement and comments on my last post. I honestly LOVE you all…..it’s like I have a bunch of friends along for the journey who just jump in, help me dust off my shoulders and get back up to keep on, keepin’ on! So Thanks for that ~ I wish I could show you all how much it means to me.
Today I hopped right back on the band wagon by getting my bootie groovin’ out in the sunshine with a 55 minute power walk at lunch and one DELICOUS Points+ Day!
Today started with my NEW LOVE……the one I showed you all yesterday….
Trader Joe’s Jalapeno Cheddar Pub Cheese!
I made up a cheesy sausage breakfast sandwich for 6 points+!
* Double Fiber Orowheat English Muffin
* 1 Tbsp Trader Joe’s Jalapeno Cheddar Pub Cheese….it literally MELTED on the muffin
* Morning Star Veggie Sausage
LOVE!!!!!! It may not look so pretty, but, I guarantee you will have LOVE at First Bite like me!
Balanced out with a not so great plum.
Mid Morning I was convinced that we NEEDED Starbuck’s….ok, well, I guess all you have to do is mention a Grande “Dirty Latte” to me and I am there (4 points+). At least it counts as a dairy serving 
Lunch was the rest of the Chicken Cilantro Potsticker Soup from yesterday (4 points+)
Plus a little Spicy Peanut Asian Slaw (Broccoli Slaw + 1 Tbsp TJ’s Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette) (1 point+)
More Crunch ~ a fuji-riffic apple!
Dessert was a combination of TWO things. Last week I was intrigued by these when I saw them at Whole Foods.
Little tiny Dark Chocolate Cookies! No clue on the stats though :/
I decided to finally give them a try (LOVE ~ they are kinda like rice crispy treat crunchy but taste like dark chocolate short bread cookies). I savored each one (yup ONE at a time LOL) along with 2 Biscoff Cookies and some tea in our cool work cups! (2 points+)
As soon as I walked in the door The Husband said we “needed” some of THAT cheese and crackers. OMG, I have a feeling TJ’s Pub Cheese might just be TOO GOOD! (4 points+)
THE BEST thing about dinner tonight was I didn’t have to cook it ~ The Husband totally LOVES taking credit for cooking leftovers 
I had another Crockpot Asian Slaw Slider (5 points+) on a Sesame Bun (3 points+)
Plus Parmesan KALE CHIPS!!! I am telling you the TWO things that will make you LOVE these is sprinkling them with parmesan cheese and dipping them in ketchup. It’s totally crunchy and “fry” like. (2 points+)
MMMMM! I LOVE it when half my plate is filled with “CHIPS I LOVE!”
We STILL have a ton of leftover BBQ Pulled Pork. I might have to freeze it and make baked beans or something with it later…..Ohhhh, maybe a pulled pork pizza!
Another Danica’s Daily T-Shirt Sighting!!! Corinne sported her Tee at her local Weight Watchers meeting and snapped a picture next to Jennifer Hudson ~ I LOVE that!!
She said that she plans on looking as good as Jennifer does in that photo and is going to send us a picture of her rockin’ her goal weight! I know you will Corinne ~ can’t wait to see it!
Q’s
What is your favorite breakfast sandwich?
Mine by far is my simple “Eggwich” on Trader Joe’s Fat Free Multi-Grain Bread. However, I am honestly DIGGING this Jalapeno Cheddar Sausagewich……Maybe I need to ADD it to my favorite sandwich and see the result ~ I am SO doing that tomorrow!!!

My favorite breakfast sandwich: 2 slices of Ezikel Cinnamon Raisin Bread, 1 fried egg, 1/4 avocado, 2 slices of Canadian bacon, and some hot sauce. Healthy, filling, and delicious!
omg best breakfast sandwich is honey waffles with a chik’n patty and pepper! so good!
LOVE Breakfast sandwiches. And love that you’ve dusted yourself off and got right back on track. YAY for you!!! Have a great week.
Favorite breakfast sandwich is smoked salmon and cream cheese. Yum!
Trader Joe’s recently got a huge influx of new items. I can’t wait to try them all. The pub cheese will be at the top of the list. Thanks for the recommendations.
Seriously that Trader Joe’s pub cheese is totally amazing! I LOVE it with the Trader Joe organic corn chips. I just love it a little too much!
I am craving a dirty latte now! I need to finally go and try one!
Hi there,
We did the crockpot pulled pork at our friend’s cottage last summer. We had a ton left over, as well and so we bought some wraps and made them burrito-like, in the oven with some cheese and refried beans. It was oddly good!
Favourite breakfast of the moment for me is: 3 egg whites + 1 egg made into an omelet with 1oz soft goat cheese and 1 oz of smoked salmon (6+) Huge and amazingly good! I have this for lunch with a salad, as well.
Love your blog

I love making a breakfast sandwich of PB&J between two waffles!!
OMG, morning star sausage patties, I could totally live off of those, along with that kale recipe!! I made it a few weeks ago for the first time, I absolutely must have my kale chips every day!!! I don’t dip them in red sugar though:-) LOL.
(seriuosly I could drink ketchup, so I just stay away) But knowing kale is a great food for you, and just a tad bit of parmesian, I am baking kale every other day. If people havent tried this, YOU MUST!!
Hmmm…I love a toasted ezekiel english muffin (those things are so yummy-and filling!) with nut butter and maybe banana OR with cheese toasted onto it and maybe some eggs. I am a big fan of toasted sandwiches, I guess:-).
My favorite breakfast sandwich is green peppers, onions, and mushrooms in olive oil, on top of egg whites and a whole wheat bagel thin. The eggs and veggies actually make enough for 2 sandwiches.
Your sight really motivates me! I just found you and enjoy reading all about your progress. Thanks for the ideas!!!
Favorite breakfast sandwich .. whole wheat english muffin, egg beaters, smidgeon of fat free shredded cheese, little chopped onion/green pepper topped with a morningstar sausage pattie. YUMMO!
Danica I love you site! Very encouraging and your ideas are awesome.. I always am a visual person so the pics are great! motivates me to want to do it!
I love my reduced wheat bread with my western2 egg omelet, I add taco sauce n of course hot sauce and some black coffee and a banana –
Yum!
Keep us the great work you do…

My favorite breakfast sandwich is my egg mcmuffin sandwich: Arnold Sandwich Thin Multigrain (3), sautee’d green peppers and onions (0), 3 pcs Canadian Bacon {I buy the big bag from Sam’s} (1), 1/2 cup egg beaters {I prefer Southwestern style} (1). All that for 5 Points+.
I love a medium poached egg with a slice of canadian bacon on a whole wheat muffin and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. My homemade Egg Mcmuffin for only 6P+. Now if I could only figure out how to make those hashbrowns for less…
I’m a big Penguin fan and I love your cup!!! : )
I really like the egg sandwich with dijonnaise combo I came up with. Sooo darn good, and with the nickels 35 bread its only 4points+ for the whole goey thing! The “recipe” is on my blog!
Those chocolate pears always taunt me when I visit Whole Foods. I don’t buy them b/c they don’t have nutritional stats on them. I’ll get them next time tho. I would totally enjoy them one at a time or on top of some Greek yogurt for bfast.
*edit — I meant “chocolate pearls”
i LOVE the kale chips! I made them awhile back w/ olive oil spray and sea salt. They truly reminded me of eating movie theater popcorn…Crunchy, salty, veggie goodness!
