The Mother vs. The Other
This Monday morning, DH and I hosted DH's cousin for a Vice City marathon and in honor of his visit to local colleges (Zev- choose Univ of Chicago!!), I made a 'Big Breakfast'. I previously told you about The Mother, and I've now developed what DH coined 'The Other'.'The Mother' is two eggs over easy and sauteed onions sandwiched between two eight-inch pancakes spread with butter and smothered in syrup. I figure The Mother is roughly 15 points (3 for each pancake, 2 for each egg, 1 for the sauteed onions, 2 for syrup and 2 for butter).
'The Other' is an open-faced version: one 8-inch pancake (made with reduced-fat Bisquick and egg beaters), sprayed with Parkay margarine spray, topped with one fried egg white, 1/2 the sauteed onions and 1/4 cup reduced-calorie pancake syrup. The Other is 4.5 points (2 for the pancake, 0.5 for the onions, and 2 for the pancake syrup)!
How's that for innovation in a family favorite?
