Delicious Discovery

Jimmy Dean D-Lights Sandwiches


I love a good breakfast sandwich.  I have memories of being very little and being very excited to go to the Burger King drive-thru for a Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissanwich...super healthy.  I haven't met many breakfast sandwiches I don't like--but it isn't as easy to find a healthy one that I don't have to make on my own.  It's not like it's that hard to make it from scratch--but it takes more time and more often than not...breakfast is on the run.  


Jimmy Dean.  Who knew?  I have seen their commercials for years touting the latest fattening breakfast products and never tried any of them...until now.  The line of D-Light Sandwiches are yummy!  There are four types, Turkey Sausage on a Whole Grain Bagel, Turkey Sausage, Egg White and Cheese on a Croissant, Turkey Sausage, Egg White and Cheese on a Muffin and Canadian Bacon, Egg White and Cheese on a Muffin.  I have tried two types so far and am in l-o-v-e!


The canadian bacon sandwich is pretty tasty.  The muffin is honey wheat and is really delicious.  One sandwich has 230 calories, 4.5 grams of fat and 2 grams of fiber.  The turkey sausage sandwich has egg whites and cheese and is on a bagel.  I think this one is my favorite.  There are just 260 calories, 8 grams of fat and 4 grams of fiber--and it's a good size!  It is slightly more calories than the canadian bacon version but my preference is for the bagel :)


You can find D-Lights in the frozen breakfast section of your grocery store.  One box has 4 sandwiches and is about $6.50 a box.  It might sound steep but if you break it down it's only $1.63 a sandwich--which I think it a good deal.  They may not be the healthiest of breakfast choices--but when you are craving a good breakfast sandwich and thinking about going to the drive-thru...I recommend D-Lights.  Just remember--breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Wow... I've been getting DOWN on these sandwiches myself, Nicole! I'm up to about a box a month... I go sausage/eggwhite as well, but I hold the cheese (not exactly a cave-aged gruyere... the stuff flakes even after it has thawed!).

I think I'll check in on this blog from time to time!
