My boyfriend and I ended up having breakfast for dinner one
night (termed: Brinner). I personally
wanted something simple to cook because I initially thought of pancakes, but
then the thought of making them just wasn’t intriguing any longer. Since we had some frozen low fat waffles in
the freezer, my boyfriend was more in-tune with waffles (I think he sensed my
immediate need to NOT want to make pancakes – so we settled).
To fancy up the waffles, I decided to make a fruit compote. When I dumped my frozen mixed berries
(blueberries, raspberries and black berries) into the pan there wasn’t enough
to make one serving – so I decided to jazz it up, slicing up an apple (peeled)
into small pieces and cooking it up all in a sauce pan with a bit of Equal
(sugar substitute), a pinch of salt and water. I let the mixture come to a slow simmer,
stirring frequently until it thickened just slightly. (Note: if
I had used real sugar and a tiny bit of cornstarch it would have been a thicker
compote.)
The waffles went into the toaster (simple!) and I cooked up
some Trader Joe’s Sweet Apple Sausage (see review here: http://shannonslifestyle.blogspot.com/2013/03/trader-joes-sweet-apple-chicken-sausage.html).
Since the sausage is sweeter I felt it
would be a perfect pairing with a breakfast – and I was right. Then to just wrap things up I made myself ½ cup scrambled egg substitute – seasoned with
black pepper and a pinch of salt. (Side note: if you’re cooking for someone
who doesn’t like egg substitute, you can fry up regular eggs – which is what I
did for my boyfriend since he does not follow the WW program).
Once the meal was done and assembled, I spooned the compote
over the waffles and it was munja time! Points Plus wise, the entire meal was 8
points plus (4 – waffles, 3 – sausage, 1 – eggs).
QUESTION:
What is your favorite breakfast food to have for dinner?
