Green Mountain Farms Greek Cream Cheese

In other posts i've mentioned a greek yogurt cream cheese that i've used. This is the product i have been talking about.

With my hopes for actually dieting, healthier alternatives, such as the greek yogurts, tend to catch my eye. I love cream cheese. The idea of it being made with greek yogurt did give me a bit of a "uhhhh i'm not sure on this" type feeling. But i was pleasantly surprised on the taste. It's not exactly like normal cream cheese, but has a good taste to it. I've only tried the whipped version so far, i got the brick version for when i get a recipe that needs cream cheese. Even the texture is a cream cheese one still. I really could just eat a spoonful. Which i seem to be trying to do while writing this.

When searching the name of this product, i found their website http://www.franklinfoods.com/greek-cream-cheese

That should be able to give better info on the actual product. As it says on the site, it can be bought at walmart, which is where i found it. I think it would be fun to do a taste test of regular cream cheese with this one to see what real taste difference there is, maybe i will some day. For now, this is the cream cheese i will be using unless i want flavored ones, though i'm sure i could figure out how to just flavor this on my own.

Here's the nutrition facts for the whipped one. (found on the website i provided)

Based on that, if you go to figure out the weight watches points plus for it, it's only 1 point for 2 tbs!!!! that's a lot better than other ones. I was checking out the points on other creams cheeses that are listed on the weight watcher's website. There are other 0-2 point ones that are for like the fat free and even regular, but those were for just 1 tbs. For point wise, i think this one might actually be one of the better ones, without that "healthy" taste. 

I do think the taste will differ for each person, but i like it and do recommend people try it.

French Toast Cream Cheese Sandwich with Eggs

I've seen pictures on pinterest of this breakfast sandwich with cream cheese and blueberries. It looked good but probably wouldn't be able to make it the same way they did, not sure what machine they used in the pictures. Either way, i made my own version, using actual french toast.

I ended up trying the sandwich 2 ways to see what was easier/better to make it.
The first way i tried to put the cream cheese on right after i got both pieces of french toast done. It warmed up the cream cheese and made it harder to spread on to get it thicker than i got it.
The second way, i waited until the french toast was cool before i put the cream cheese on and then i put it back on the stove to heat up the sandwich. Made it easier because then i got to make it thicker, maybe a little too thick though lol. Here's a picture of what i mean,

I was so cream cheesed out after this lol.

For the eggs, they were just basic eggs and cheddar cheese. Tasted like how eggs are suppose to taste like lol. This is reference to my other post about the scrambled eggs i made that had cottage cheese in it. Found here [Link]

For the cream cheese i used on this, it was a cream cheese made with greek yogurt. For weight watcher points, it's good on points. I will probably make another post about the cream cheese.
