I love Croissants, but they give me horrendous Heartburn

They are so loaded with fat, too...


I remember the very first trip I took to Paris. I went with a group from work...was about 1980.... We arrived by coach, took 13 hours to get there .. and we were starving hungry...

Next morning we went down to breakfast at The Charles De Gaule airport hotel..
..to find breakfast was like serving animals.

they'd got bread trays full of croissants.. and black tea or coffee... nothing else... and we were only allowed one of each

I think ham and cheese or spinach and cheese croissants are my favorites. I love them.

to know if something is likely to make you gain weight..look at the fat content per 100 grms.

if you wish to lose weight, only eat foods that contain less than 4grms per 100 grms

In the above example of mini croissants, we can see each croissant weighs just 20 grms with 3 grms of fat... that equates to 15 grams per 100g...which is very high...

Cheese croissants are delicious I agree.. but there lies the dragon... huge fat content...

Bummer! This morning realised we'd left our last two fresh ones from the bakery on top of the fridge... Hard as brick

Unfortunately, sad day today, as it's officially 21 months husband's passing. Thankfully, we kept busy, but Thursday will pickup croissants to make up the sadness...

A little of what you fancy does you good. I like mine with either black forest ham or smoked salmon.

have you ever made puff pastry from scratch? i did... once. it's not difficult, but is time consuming. end product was very nice but frozen Pepperidge Farms sheets of puff pastry is very good. wish bakeries would sell the dough.
