Day 4 and interesting recipes

Day 4 on vintage weight watching was once again a success. I even tried out an interesting bread pudding recipe from the 70's that I really enjoyed. For breakfast I had a cheese "danish" called toast that was very good!
I'm sure the recipes can be found on the interwebs, but I have mine out of a 1985 cookbook.
The bread pudding recipe is:
for 1 portion
1 slice of white bread
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp sugar
vanilla cinnamon and nutmeg
Mix egg, milk, sugar and spices together, cut slice of bread into cubes.
Oil a small baking dish out with a half of teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Place bread into dish.
Pour egg milk mixture on top covering bread completely.
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes or until top is golden brown and pudding is baked through. (Translated from German on my own account).
For this recipe you have to check off
1 Protein
1 Milk
1 bread from your twice a week.
1/2 fat
25 extra

I had the bread pudding for my coffee time snack and had to share half of it with my one year old. So I would say child approved.
When I think my one year old might eat with me I never use sugar substitutes of any kind. I will replace sugar for some honey or molasses though.

The Cheese "Danish" is not a cheese danish in any way.
I have two different recipes for this one. Both are similar so I will write both of them together as one here.
Cheese Danish
1 portion
1 slice of whole wheat toast
1 slice of Chester cheese or 1/2 cup cottage cheese
apple thinly sliced or 1 tsp fruit spread
cinnamon, honey or sugar 1/2tsp
peel, core and slice your apple as thin as you can. Place apple slices on toast.
Or for the other recipe spread you fruit spread on the slice of toast.
For the apple version you are to lay the Chester cheese on top of the apple slices then bake the "danish" until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
For the fruit spread "danish" you are to mix the cottage cheese with sweetener of choice and cinnamon. Top the toast with the fruit spread with it then broil it until the cottage cheese is bubbly.

For the danish you have mark off either
1 bread for both
1 protein for both
1 fruit if you choose with apple
75 extra for cottage cheese

I tried the cottage cheese "danish" and truly enjoyed it. The other will be made later next week.

Out of curiosity I got on the scale this morning although weigh in is on Monday. I was so excited to see that
I have lost 4 pounds! That is 3 pounds more than on the modern program. I am stoked!

The next few vintage recipes I'm trying are:
Chocolate cookies- these could be interesting since they are made with milk powder.
whipped "cream"- also a milk powder recipe
Sunday toast with egg- not made how you think I can assure you.
and last but not least Liver Rolls- these could be interesting. Thankfully I like liver.

The vintage weight watching will be gradually taking over other things in my life too after moving day.
I have a kitchen in antique vintage style waiting to be put up in my new apartment. Can't wait to start cooking in it.
Then I have sewing pattern just screaming my name. So I hope I can find a corner to put me sewing machine in. Then I have a few knitting patterns from way back then that I want to knit. Together with my toddler I will be a busy  homemaker.
Next spring there is a garden waiting for me. I want to plant my own vegetables and flowers. Maybe I'll check out victory gardens. Not much space whole lot of vegetables.
