Instead, I get up when my alarm clock tells me to. But even when it tells me to, I violently hit its snooze button 3-5 times before slowly rolling out of bed.  And there aren&#8217;t any praises in the morning, just slightly loud cursing and threats at the inanimate object that wakes me up every morning. <\/p>\n<p>There are things I would wake up early for, like Saturday morning cartoons, Macy&#8217;s sales, and the opportunity to stick it to senior citizens by getting up before they do, being the first in line when McDonald&#8217;s opens their doors, and buying all the coffee.  But something I would not get up early for is the Jimmy Dean Sausage and Cheese on a Croissant Breakfast Entree.<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/images\/jdentrees2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Look at that picture above.  Would you want to get up for that?  If I woke up next to that, I would roll onto my side, fall back asleep, and hog all of the blankets, letting it get cold.  <\/p>\n<p>The sausage and cheese croissant, which makes the Burger King Croissanwich look like filet mignon, is in the tray&#8217;s main compartment, seasoned hash browns are in the upper right, and diced apples are in the lower right.  I felt the need to point out where the hash browns and diced apples are because they could easily be confused, like Gary Busey, Nick Nolte, and zombies.  <\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Dean is known for his sausage and in this entree his sausage was tasty, albeit small, but EVERYTHING else didn&#8217;t come close to the quality of Jimmy Dean&#8217;s sausage.  The croissant, which are usually crispy and flaky, was tough, chewy, and nowhere near flaky; the apples tasted like apples and they had a slight crunch to them, but they weren&#8217;t sweet, which made them quite bland; and the hash browns were lightly seasoned, but not seasoned enough to make you forget how soggy they were.<\/p>\n<p>If you thought all of that was disappointing, I shall continue the dismay by saying the Jimmy Dean Sausage and Cheese On A Croissant Breakfast Entree has 50% of your daily recommended allowance of saturated fat, 1050 milligrams of sodium, and three grams of trans fat.  The amount of trans fat is the most disheartening because if KFC, whose middle name is Fried, can go trans fat free, why can&#8217;t Jimmy Dean?<\/p>\n<p>Now if you&#8217;ll excuse me, I&#8217;m going to roll onto my side, fall asleep, and hog all of the blankets.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 entree &#8211; 560 calories, 30 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 3 grams of trans fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 1050 milligrams of sodium, 62 grams of carbs, 4 grams of dietary fiber, 21 grams of sugar, 11 grams of protein, 6% Vitamin A, 10% Calcium, and 15% Iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Jimmy Dean Sausage and Cheese On A Croissant Breakfast Entrees<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $4.79<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  7.6 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  3 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Sausage was tasty, but as for the rest of it not so much.
