When I first started the Jenny Craig program almost four years ago now, I utilized a lot of the tools on their website to help me adapt to the program. Not only were they pages of information about the program, success stories to inspire me, but there were also community forums to leverage.
The community forums were actually one of the first places I ever talked about my blog. My “online journal” I’d started wasn’t anything that I really intended on sharing… but this community seemed a great place to share my story, and everyone was so supportive!
I still stop into the forums from time to time now… to read about how my online friends are proceeding on their Jenny journey, to share NTTC stories, and to pick up new ideas and inspiration. I sure lucked out when I ran into this inspiration.
In a word, YUM! A simple, simple recipe that transforms Jenny’s delicious cinnamon rolls into an amazing french toast. If you’re on the Jenny program, this is a MUST try! If you’re not on the Jenny program, the same approach can be applied to your favorite cinnamon roll.
The Jenny Craig Cinnamon Roll has been my favorite on-plan breakfast for a LONG time now. And, I’m loving the ability to mix things up a little bit with this breakfast. Cooking them in a griddle makes them have amazingly caramelized edges, while retaining their chewy goodness…. Best. Jenny. Breakfast. EVER.
