Sometimes its the little things, things that most people would take for granted that impact our lives. My “little” thing this morning is a first time,  new experience. For the first time ever, I have all these low protein products that I have never had tried or aces to, and today is my day off after a rotation of night shifts and I woke up early with a plan in mind!

Today I tried my hand at making my very first low protein omelet, sausage and bagel. I used the PKU perspectives Egg mixture for the omelet, and I added white onion, green onion, red peppers, mushrooms and a little dayiah cheese.  For the sausage I used the pku perspectives mushroom burger mix and formed it into a rough sausage shape. They may not look pretty but It tasted great! The bagels are the bigger bagels, onion flavor from Cambrooke foods, topped with a little cinnamon spread.

It is moments like this that I truly appreciate how far the treatment of PKU has come, and how products like these really impact my life. Where most people take for granted what they eat every day for food , specially breakfast. Alot of people don’t even eat breakfast. In fact I didn’t really either for a few years.

These new products and new inventions help give me more variety and opportunities that I never could have drempt possibly just a few handful of years ago. I feel so blessed.  My breakfast options have always been very limited to sugary kid cereals that are lower in protein such as Froot loops, captin crunch, and corn pops and bread. It has only been for a handful of years that I have begun making my own low protein bread.   I have always found breakfast the most stressful time of day for myself, with limited options . I would easily get sick of eating the same thing day in and day out for breakfast.

I didn’t even no about the egg mix until the pku conference in Vancouver and the mushroom burger mix maybe a month ago when i first tired it in my spaghetti. I have been using it as a low protein ground meat for my spaghetti and just loved it. Last night I thought up the idea to form it into sausages after seeing some dishes my friend Brienna has made for her PKU son Hayden.

My kitchen is a mess, and there are dishes every where but , I am so happy , and full!

This was a great way to start my morning , and I am full of hope for the future and how I manage my PKU and my diet, and I am so thankful to all the low protein companies and their hard work making our life a little bit easier and a little bit more “normal”
