There are a TON of different brands of low carb tortillas that are only 1 Smart Point on Weight Watchers. I used Ole Brand Tortillas– you can find these usually at Walmart

Have you tried Pesto & Quinoa from Trader Joe’s? It comes in a jar and you can add it to pasta, serve it on rice, potatoes, chicken, etc…

I also used this breakfast sausage seasoning, I got mine from Penzey’s spices. You can use this with ground turkey or ground chicken to make homemade breakfast sausage patty’s. I’ve sprinkled this on burgers – it’s so good!

Jennie-0 Turkey sausage – it comes in links, or you can remove the casing as in this recipe and cook it loose. I’ve cooked these as links and serve with hot dog buns. I’ve removed the casing and brown it to add to pasta sauce – lots of choices!
