Breakfast Ideas
Have you tried the Western Alternative Bagels? The bagels are 1 point, and if you spread on 1 wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese, you have a wonderful 2 point breakfast. Add a piece of fruit if you want.
Here are a few recipes.

Chris' Breakfast Bagel
1/4 cup eggbeaters (if you want to use more, you can ...Eggbeaters are 1 point for up to 1/2 cup)
1 slice Kraft 2% Cheese
1 toasted Onion Western Alternative bagel
Fry egg substitute in a small Pam sprayed frying pan. When done, top with cheese. Take off heat, and let cheese melt. In the meantime, toast the bagel. Put it all together, and WALLAH ...you have a 3 point breakfast bagel.
NOTE: You can add a morning farms breakfast sausage patty for only 1 more point ...

2 Tbsp Eggbeaters (or 1 egg white)

1 apple, grated or finely chopped

5 slices bread (1 point per slice)
2 cups 1% milk
1 cup eggbeaters
1 cup Splenda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Dash salt
1/3 cup raisins
In a 8X8 inch Butter flavored Pam sprayed baking dish, break 2 1/2 slices of the bread into bottom of dish. Sprinkle with raisins and top with remainder of bread. Mix milk, eggbeaters, Splenda, cinnamon, vanilla and salt together until well blended. Pour mixture over bread. Push bread down with fork so that it's all soaked.
