Comments on: REVIEW: Jimmy Dean Sausage and Cheese On A Croissant Breakfast Entrees

Disclaimer: I’ve only had the ham/cheese version (which, by the way, has much less fat–although it’s still has trans and saturateds…and a lot of sodium)

The croissant isn’t flaky, but it’s from a MICROWAVE…so that’s to be expected
The potatoes have a mild flavor, easy on the stomach in the morning
The apples are slightly crispy…with a brown sugar glaze (but the glaze is on the bottom, so be sure to stir)–a nice sweet treat that sure beats a big stack of waffles with syrup

I’m a big “eat some protein” for breakfast advocate…and, while I’d prefer my normal fried egg, slice of bacon, 2% cheddar on a whole wheat english muffin, this breakfast is GREAT to have when you don’t have the time (or inclination) to pull out the skillet.

I’d give it an 8 out of 10

@Gabs – It’s just seems wrong for a Croissanwich to not have meat. How are you going to get your saturated fat?

@yr momz – Didn’t you comment a couple of times last week? Anyhoo, yes I have gained weight since I’ve started TIB, but that’s mostly due to inactivity, which I’m trying to change.

Dude, the BK Croissanwich IS good. It’s my fave fast food breakfast thing. Of course, I don’t eat meat so I just get it with egg and cheese, and whatever meat comes on it otherwise may well ruin the damn thing. But I love it.

@Danalyn – They do look kind of pale and frail. I think Sally Struthers should make an infomercial about donating a quarter a day to help nurse them back to health.

@Heidi – Mmm…Two potato dishes. It’s like going to Wendy’s and ordering the fries AND the baked potato.

@Pomai – I have yet to witness that at Ala Moana, probably because I’m still in bed. And when I’m a senior citizen and Ala Moana has five levels and 1,000 shops and restaurants, I probably won’t hang out there in the morning, unless its Longs value book week.

@Chuck – And don’t forget to buy all the coffee before the senior citizens do and drink it all right in front of them.

@Anonymous – You haven’t seen many vaginas in your life, have you?

@Neil – That must have been really good sausage if Elvis was that desperate for it.

@Molly – I read it with my contacts, glasses, and monocle. It does say 560 calories.

@Kylie – I’m glad to hear you can use your wrist freely. Tomorrow I will probably have a bowl of Lucky Charms and Morningstar Farms faux sausage. Oh, and oatmeal…because I’m old.

@rossitron – If they got into a fight, I would not know who to root for. Actually, I would root for the crazier one.

Oy! This can’t be good.

For all that want it, I’m making breakfast at my house tomorrow. You see, i’v been home because of surgery and tomorrow I can finallly use my wrist freely. On the menu, biscuits, home fries and country ham (that I have sent from North Carolina). All are welcome. Just call me…

They must be lying; I can’t believe that it only has 560 calories total.

Indeed, this looks lame. If I’m having healthy food, I want it at least to taste good. See you at McDonald’s bright and early.

They should have served Apple Sauce instead of cubed apples to give more visual contrast. The two sides as is almost look alike, and I’d be REALLY upset if I mistakenly bit into a hash brown when I REALLY wanted a bite of the diced apple (or vice versa).

I attempted to try one of those Jimmy Dean Breakfast Croissant Sandwiches they sell at Costco in the big box (without the apple and potato sides), but after just one bite, that was it. Next.

When I’m a senior citizen, I’m gonna’ hang out in front of Long’s Ala Moana starting at 6am every morning and play ukulele with the gang.

It’s funny because when I saw the first image, I thought the entree had two types of potatoes..

Those apples look sickly.
