mmm... French Toast.. it is possible! even watching calories...

One of the main things I want people to realize is, it is possible to eat things you want, crave, adore... you just have to look at them differently... and eat smaller portions of those. Whoever said everything in moderation was right, and it's certainly a key to weight loss, a healthy lifestyle and maintaining those things.
Breakfast foods are one of my favorite things, I was brought up in a southern family with biscuits, gravy, sausage, eggs, pancakes, toast, oatmeal, etc. And most of that, was part of one meal! This morning I made french toast, just a healthier way, I still got the taste I craved, but with probably a third of the calories you would normally have.

Yumma-licious French Toast

Here's the breakdown:
2 slices of Healthy Life 35 calorie bread = 70 calories
1/4 cup egg substitute = 30 calories
2 tbsp. skim milk = 12 calories
1-2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 slices of center cut bacon = 50 calories
1 tbsp. lite syrup = 34

Total breakfast =  196 calories

To make this:
Shake your egg substitute well, use 1/4 cup, pour into small plate (big enough to place a slice of bread on top of!), stir in cinnamon, vanilla, and milk. Soak each side of bread. Spray non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Flip after downside looks a golden brown. Cook bacon, drain on paper towels. Top with syrup. Enjoy!!
