It’s about 6:45 am and not a creature is stirring, but ME! I go out and get the Saturday papers, and it’s a beautiful morning! A beautiful morning deserves a great Breakfast start. So I heated up the flat griddle and mixed up some Pancake Batter. I always use New Hope Mills Pancake Mix. It makes some nice and fluffy Pancakes while they are only 200 calories and 6 carbs per serving (4 Pancakes). I only had 2 of them and saved the other 2 for Mom. So my calorie count was only 100 and carbs 3! You can’t beat that and throw in how good they are. I used Joesph’s Sugarless Maple Flavored Syrup, 35 calories and 9 carbs. Another great one when your watching the calories and carbs, I only used a 1/2 a serving of this also. I then topped it with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.

For the Bacon I used one I had never tried until earlier this week, Jennie – O Turkey Bacon. I really prefer this over what I had been using. The taste is better, fries up crisper, and is 15 less calories for 3 slices! 3 slices are 90 calories and 0 carbs.

I’ve got the dishes done, another advantage of using the griddle 1 pan to clean, the paper read, and the hot Bigelow Decaf Green Tea drank. I’m ready to get out and enjoy this beautiful day!

It Was Early Morning Yesterday I Was Up Before The Dawn! Rocking to some classic Super Tramp this morning while making breakfast. I’m not sure if it was my attempts at singing or the smell of crisp Turkey Bacon frying that woke everyone up this morning!

I started my day off with a delicious, healthy, and low carb breakfast. I made Pancakes using New Hope Mills Pancake Mix, only 200 calories and 6 carbs per serving. A serving is a 1/2 cup of pancake mix which you can make into 3 – 4 pancakes. I topped it with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and Joseph’s Sugar Free Maple Flavored Syrup. The Syrup is 35 calories and 9 carbs per serving, a serving is 1/4 cup. I had a side of 3 strips of Oscar Mayer Low Sodium Turkey Bacon which is 35 calories per slice. A great and healthy way to start the day!

Pancakes in the morning!

It had been too long since I had Pancakes. So this morning was the morning to get the griddle out and flip those cakes! Having Diabetes 2 regular Pancakes are a little high in carbs especially when you add the Maple Syrup. So after sampling and tasting different brands I settled on New Hope Mills Pancake and Waffle Mix along with Joseph’s Sugar Free Maple Flavored Syrup. The Pancakes are only 200 calories and 6 carbs (3 net carbs) for 4 Pancakes! The Joseph’s Syrup is 35 calories and 9 carbs per serving (1/4 cup), which I never use a full serving. I also had 3 pieces of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon which is only 35 calories and 0 carbs. Diabetes or not you can still have a great tasting and filling breakfast.

Diabetes 2 Friendly Product Review – New Hope Mills Pancake Mix

New Hope Mills
Sugar Free Pancake and Waffle Mix

Having been diagnosed with diabetes, it’s been difficult to find something to eat for breakfast that won’t shoot my blood sugar through the roof. I then found New Hope Mills Pancake Mix! Hot, fluffy pancakes and crispy waffles without loads of carbs.

Love pancakes and waffles drenched in syrup but hate the idea of all that refined flour and sugar? Then New Hope Mills Pancake and Waffle Mix is for you. They use wheat gluten and a low glycemic cornstarch which are much higher in protein and lower in carbs than traditional flour. So, go ahead, enjoy your pancakes and waffles. You’ll be doing your body and your taste buds a favor.

Serving Size: 1/4 Cup Mix makes 3-4 Pancakes
