Oh, and more good news - I found the Jennie-O Extra Lean Bacon at a Super K-Mart today!!  Yippee!!

Carolyn

Yippee, Carolyn!

Since you have it, could you list the ingredients here for me?

NJ

Yep,  Here they are:

Mechanically separated Turkey, White Turkey, Dark Turkey, Water, Salt.  Contains 2% or less of Potassium Lactate, Natural Smoke Flavoring, Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Nitrate.

Now, I know that this is considered LDL friendly, but that Natural Smoke Flavoring.....  I will probably only use this every once in a while.  But it's nice to know that if I WANT this I can have it.

Carolyn

Thanks Carolyn;

I know that some things have several different versions (I was excited once to find 'I.M.Healthy Soynut Butter" in my regular grocery store one day, but I didn't buy it because it listed sugar as one of the ingredients.)
I am going to take this list with me and try to find this in the Super K-Mart across town. I just wanted the ingredients to make sure I don't buy the wrong thing.

NJ

Yeah,
Just make sure it's the "Extra Lean"... if it weren't for Mary saying that, I wouldn't have realized that there was more than one "version" of this product...

Carolyn

Hey Peeps,

I made this for breakfast this morning minus the bacon.  Oh My GOSH were they GOOD!       

NJ, the IM Healthy soynut butter unsweetened is what you need.  If your grocery store can get the kind WITH sugar they should be able to get the kind without.  Ask them okay? 

You know, I was thinking today about how good God is.  He has even found a legal substitute for one of my big favs from Mickey D's.  Now I know if I ever get a craving for one.....I just make my own!  Of course, I have to be honest and say.....when I am eating enough, beans, corn and winter squash I don't crave bread in the least.  Aint it great??

Oh, I found it months ago at my health food store! I was just surprised to find it with sugar in it at my grocery store.

NJ

Hey NJ,

I know!  Here at Kroger there are like five different kinds of the stuff.  One day I grabbed a jar and finished shopping, got to the checkout and looked down and had picked up the kind with sugar in it.  EEEK!!!  I'm glad I caught that before I checked out and got home with it!

I have always wondered is the IM healthy soynut butter with honey okay?  It didnt list any sugar only honey?  Just curious
Debbie

Hey Ms Debbie,

I'm not sure.  I'm still so paranoid about added sugars and I love the unsweetened so it works for me.  Try it with some of the polaner all fruits.  It's YUMMY!

What is a corn thin and where do I get it from?

hi kim.........cornthins are like rice cakes(but better)and are made out of compressed popcorn...you can get them in health food stores or certain supermarkets...it depends on where you live....you can also buy them online......if you put the word "cornthins" into the search engine,you can find the link to that web site and a lot more info on them............hope this helped.............niki

Thanks Niki

Carrole,
Bringing my all time favorite breakfast back to the top of the boards for you!!! ENJOY!!!

I also eat the corn thins with larger sausage nuggets sort of like a chicken fried steak on a biscuit for breakfast.  Usually keeps me filled till late afternoon or sometimes even dinner.
God Bless

I love those dancing smilies,  they are so cheery.  It is so cold here my hands are about froze.  Just got back from the store.  I sit down at the computer and see all these dancing smilies and feel warm and cheery.  Love them.

I could use some breakfast ideas, feel I need a little protein in the morning to keep me going as  like to eat lunch around 2.

Hugs, Carrole

I really need my book -- are there recipes anywhere?

Hi Everyone,
I thought we could only have fruit for breakfast and then we're supposed to have protein for lunch and then more fruit for dinner.  Am I missing something?  Perhaps we can have fruit for breakfast and then if we are still hungry we can have an egg or corn thins?  Is that it?  Can we have both? I am somewhat confused..................

PMH, I'm still a little confused myself.  I'm also a Newbie.  The replies have been awesome and I really really appreciate all the great feedback, suggestions, etc., but I'm looking forward to picking up my book today.  I just feel like I'm missing something to this "let's do lunch".  Let's stay encouraged
