Wawa Hoagie Weight Watchers Points

Wawa Hoagie Weight Watchers Points

When Wawa arrived in DC in late 2017, it caused quite a tizzy. Diehards of the East Coast chain swarmed the convenience store's hip, subway-tiled downtown location for hoagies, Sizzlis, doughnuts, and coffee (cold brew on tap!), and since then it's become a staple for office workers and students who stream in and make a beeline for the glowing touch-to-order screens.

If you've ever ordered from these screens, you might have noticed that they offer calorie count, which you can watch escalate as you tack on extra cheese, bacon, maybe some ranch. But as far as nutrition facts are concerned, calorie count is all you get. So we asked Lisa Muras and Nadine Jakim Young, registered dietitians at Virginia Hospital Center Outpatient Diabetes & Nutrition Program, to take a closer look at some of Wawa's most popular items and offer what to order and what to skip.

Note: Nutrition counts reflect menu item customization by Muras and Young.

Breakfast

best and worst things to order at wawa

Order: Cinnamon Brown Sugar Oatmeal ( 160 calories, 2.5 grams fat, 0.5 grams saturated fat, 3 grams fiber)

Muras and Young suggest that for those dining in or eating on a stationary surface (so, not in the car), the small-sized Cinnamon Brown Sugar Oatmeal is a healthy breakfast option. But note: "Unfortunately, the oatmeal comes prepackaged so you can't order plain, but you can leave off the dried CranRaisin blend as the cereal is plenty sweet as ordered."

Order: Roasted Veggie Breakfast Sandwich (350 calories, 13 grams fat, and 3.5 saturated fat, 860 mg sodium, 16 grams protein, and 6 grams fiber)

The veggie sandwich is already pretty healthy, but Muras and Young recommend doubling up on nutrients with extra spinach, tomato, and fresh salsa. By choosing wheat bread, you'll triple your overall fiber intake (6 grams of fiber versus 2 grams with white bread). They suggest skipping the cheese to minimize sodium and saturated fat; reducing your intake of the latter from animal products such as cheese, fatty meats, and butter can decrease the risk of heart disease.

Skip:Sausage Breakfast Classic Hoagie ( 1,470 calories, 107 grams of fat, 35 grams saturated fat, 2,350 mg sodium)

"Crash and burn with the Sausage Breakfast Classic Hoagie, possibly the unhealthiest choice on the entire Wawa menu and a perfect example of excess everything."

Skip: Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Biscuit Sizzli (670 calories, 42 grams fat, 17 grams saturated fat, 1,640 mg of sodium, 1 gram fiber)

Another item they suggest avoiding is the Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Biscuit Sizzli, which is a total sodium bomb and only offers one gram of fiber.

Lunch

best and worst things to order at wawa

Order: Lighter Style Garden Salad(300 cals, 20 grams of fat, 8 grams saturated fat, 830 mg sodium)

Muras and Young suggest customizing your salad with Vermont cheddar to bring down the sodium content, or reduce calories and saturated fat by skipping the cheese and bulking up with two scoops of Roasted Veggies (250 calories, 15 grams fat, 2.5 fat saturated, and 890 mg sodium).

Order: Oven Roasted Turkey Classic Shorti ( 380 calories, 10 grams fat, 0 grams saturated fat, 1,450 mg sodium, 4 grams fiber)

The Oven Roasted Turkey Classic Shorti becomes even more filling with piled-on veggies—lettuce, tomato, spinach, cucumber, and peppers add minimal calories and more fiber. "Skip the cheese for heart-healthy avocado, and add a kick without too many calories with the cherry pepper relish."

Order: Roast Beef Classic Shorti (490 calories, 12 grams fat, 5 grams saturated, and 1,730 mg sodium)

Another healthy option is the Roast Beef Classic Shorti. "Keep things interesting and lower in calories with Swiss cheese, hot peppers, and a little bit of vinegar." To get more crunch and fiber, add veggies.

Skip: Meatball Classic Hoagie (1,310 calories, 74 grams of fat, 29 grams saturated fat, 3 grams trans fat, 4,540 mg sodium)

The meatball is one of Wawa's most popular menu choices. It's also one of the least healthy. "Your traditional meatball sub (ahem, hoagie) with roll, provolone cheese, marinara sauce and caramelized onions is a four-car pileup for your waist line." They point out that it's got almost a full day's worth of calories, two days' worth of sodium, and "tons" of saturated fat.

Sides

best and worst things to order at wawa

Order: Black Beans ( 200 calories, 4.5 grams fat, 0 grams saturated fat, 600 mg sodium, 11 grams fiber)

A small order of black beans is a "hearty, fiber-packed side" that makes a healthy addition to a garden salad.

Order: C hicken Noodle Soup (140 calories, 4.5 grams fat, 1 gram saturated fat, 940 mg sodium)

"If you're craving something warm, the chicken noodle soup is a low-calorie option. Choosing broth-based soups over cream-based, such as the Broccoli Cheddar or New England Clam Chowder, fills you up without extra calories or fat."

Skip : Chipotle Mac & Cheese( 740 calories, 41 grams fat, 14 grams saturated fat, 1,880 mg sodium)

Muras and Young point out that adding chipotle chilies to the Mac & Cheese only adds more salt. "If the Iggles season has really brought you down and you need comfort food, a small mashed potatoes side is a better bet."

40s Style Bathroom

40s Style Bathroom

This past weekend I attended a vintage event in Toronto at the gorgeous and historic, Todmorden Mills. On site they have an adorable 1940s cottage with the most amazing original flooring from the 40s in their kitchen. The flooring was linoleum and just look at the pattern….wow! So wow that when I posted it on Instagram the 'Vintage Gal' commented that it would be a fantastic pattern for an outfit and I00% have to agree with her!

Linoleum floor Todmorden Mills 1940s

I will be honest I did not truly realize how colourful and fantastic 1940s flooring was (I think I was distracted by all the other items to look at in images), and this discovery intrigued me to see what other designs were out there. So Friends….

1940s Linoleum Flooring

Disclosure: Some of the links on my blog fromEtsy are Affiliate Links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.

Why Linoleum? Well very simply it was known for being clatterproof, easy to clean, and resistant to stain. So ideal for a room in the house like the kitchen.

When you have pink polka dots as a design element, then your linoleum floor 100% needs to be less flashy.

Linoleum was not regulated to only the kitchen. It was also found in other places in the home, like the bedroom.

Phew, that was a lot of colour, patterns and green going on in these rooms (why so much green?). Did you have a favorite style of linoleum from this post or from your vintage travels?

Lastly if you have not checked the website 'Retro Renovation' you really should. There are tons of great ideas on how to return your home into a mid-century masterpiece. Especially the piece on 1940s decor which was a great help for this post today.

Modern Matte Black Bathroom Hardware

Modern Matte Black Bathroom Hardware

Which interior style is black bathroom fittings best suited to?

Black tapware is perfect for the style conscious homeowner who wants to make a statement but perhaps doesn't necessarily have the space or budget for a freestanding bath / double sink / walk-in shower scenario. Partner with relatively inexpensive tiles, you can create a very modern look cost-efficiently.

It isn't just the colour though – the shape & finish of black hardware tends to be modern, sleek & matte. This means that it works well in both a modern home & when juxtaposed with older properties such as city terraces where exposed brick or sloped walls have texture.

Does black bathroom hardware wear well & is it easy to clean?

In our experience, yes. Between the soap suds, toothpaste dribbles & various ablutions, the great irony of a room dedicated to cleanliness is that it requires more scrubbing than any other room in the house. Given black hardware is much darker and generally matte, the biggest fear is that it will 'show up' all of the marks if you're anything less than Mrs Hinch levels of clean. Don't worry – this is not the case. You won't get any more water marks or unsightly spots than you would with standard stainless steel. In fact, I think the matte black in our bathroom looks & is easier to manage than the steel we originally had.

The key, as with 90% of unique materials, is not to use anything too abrasive. Standard cleaning products are fine but do not use a scouring pad or anything scratchy. We love the to spray a little Method, then wipe with a soft cloth, to keep things in check with minimal effort.

Where is the best place to buy black bathroom fittings?

It's unlikely that if you walk into your average bathroom showroom outside of the M25 that you will find black bathroom fittings. They are becoming far more popular though, so much so that a quick google search will give you plenty of choice.

We bought our fittings from the bathroom store without viewing in advance because the shop didn't have any examples in the showroom. Frankly, they have transformed our bathroom (for a full bathroom before and after take a look at our renovation blogs).

Not all bathroom fittings are available in matte black. The toilet flush was one small piece that didn't look right in chrome so we simply sanded, primed & painted ours using Hycote Matt Black spray. You should also be aware that most heated towel rails are available in 'anthracite' rather than black. In my opinion, our towel rail was far enough away from the black hardware that you wouldn't notice but it's definitely not an exact match.

I'm always curious to hear/see how everyone else styles their house so please share photos of what you have decided to go with – you'll find us on Instagram @HouseEightySeven!

The Benefits of a Jack and Jill Bathroom

Jack and Jill Bathroom

Do you know what a Jack and Jill bathroom is? If you grew up watching The Brady Bunch in the 70's, you may already know, because the boys and girls had one. It's a bathroom shared between two bedrooms, with doors entering from each room. Mr. Brady was an architect, after all, so he understood the value of a Jack and Jill bathroom arrangement. For the uninitiated, here are some of this design's best assets.

Saves Space and Money

Bathrooms are expensive and take up valuable real estate in a floor plan. Using one bathroom to serve two bedrooms can save space and money for larger families or for people who have homes where guests visit, but a private bath for each bedroom is overkill.

Jack and Jill Bathroom - Sinks

A Jack and Jill bathroom can be shared between a bedroom and the hall, but most often are between two bedrooms. In that latter case, it gives equality to family members. Since the bathroom can be locked from either side, the bedrooms still remain separate and private. And with those locks, the bath can be made private as well. A Jack and Jill bath can help kids learn to share and to compromise on their toiletry time tables.

Essential Components

If you do decide to create a Jack and Jill bathroom, you should make sure you add in some conveniences that will ensure its success.

  • Two sinks: A Jack and Jill bathroom shares a toilet and bath/shower, but it should have two sinks, so the less-private activities (e.g., teeth brushing and hair combing) can take place in concert.
  • Locks: For both bedrooms and their occupants to have privacy in both the bathroom and their bedrooms, there need to be locks on both sets of doors. And those doors need to lock on both sides. Everyone just needs to develop the habit of unlocking all the doors when they leave, so as not to lock the other bedroom out of the bath.
  • Storage and accessories: To keep things equitable and running smoothly, make sure to have adequate vanity mirrors, towel bars, and storage areas for all the things you never dreamed would be necessary in a bathroom.

One drawback to the standard Jack and Jill bathroom is that it's landlocked between two bedrooms, thus inaccessible to the rest of the house. Unless, of course, you design yours like Mike Brady did his, with a third entrance from the hall. And if you are as brave as Mike and Carol were, let six kids share that Jack and Jill bathroom. Then post in the comments section to let me know how it goes!

Jack And Jill Bathroom Door Lock

Jack And Jill Bathroom Door Lock

Tiny bathrooms can be extremely frustrating. But with the demand for housing (and the number of one-person households) increasing, it's no surprise. Many modern apartments make do with a minuscule 5-foot bathroom.  Even with larger square footage, bathroom design can be boring.

Luckily, you can jazz up a bathroom regardless of its size, shape, or layout. You just have to be creative with your floor plans. So whether your bathroom space is asymmetrical, curvy, or oddly angled, you can find a plan that fits. Here are 21 of our favorite bathroom floor plans.

1. Small and simple

Small and simple 4

Just because you're low on space doesn't mean you can't have a full bath. This 5 x 8 plan places the sink and toilet on one side, keeping them outside the pathway of the swinging door. It also keeps your commode hidden while the door is open. The tub fits snugly at the back end.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 40 sq ft
  • Width: 5 feet
  • Length: 8 feet

Specifics:

With this floor plan, you get a full-sized 60-inch bathtub that fills the entire back end of your small bathroom. Size limitations don't have to stop your luxurious after-work soak. The close-quarters layout also makes it easier to clean, and faster too.

2. Cross-bath

Cross-bath 1We all settle for that two-and-a-half bath dream – when we have to. But we'd really rather not. And even with a full bath, we'd prefer the toilet and tub to be kept separate. Here's a floor plan suggestion that does exactly that. And it gives your bathroom some real character in the process.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 104 sq ft
  • Width: 11 feet
  • Length: 10 feet 6 inches

Specifics:

The shape of your bathroom is unusual, and it creates mini-alcoves for the sink, tub, and toilet. The door has ample room to swing without hitting or squeezing anything. Downside, with twelve 'walls' instead of four, there's a lot more bathroom to clean.

3. Angular perfection

Angular perfectionWho said a bathroom has to be square or rectangular? You can still get a symmetrical bathroom with unexpected lines and corners. This somewhat hexagonal bathroom has six walls instead of four, so it gives you a few extra surfaces to work with. Meaning you can do way more with it.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 70 sq ft
  • Width: 9 feet 4 inches
  • Length: 7 feet 6 inches

Specifics:

While this shape is aesthetically pleasing, the angles and shorter walls make it hard to sneak in a bathtub. Instead, the shower sits at one 90º corner while the toilet sits at the other. Opposite the door, you can install a three-sided vanity with a sink right in the middle.

4. Home spa

Home spa

With the right design choices, plain square bathrooms can be the most exciting type of all. They offer convenient edges and corners for easy décor. Plus, if they're large enough (and if the subjects are sufficiently intimate), two people can use the bathroom at the same time.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 102 sq ft
  • Width: 9 feet 9 inches
  • Length: 10 feet 6 inches

Specifics:

This floor plan divides the bathroom into four sections, separated by a wall divider or glass panel. The 'bath' side has a tub in one corner and a shower in the other. The toilet is discreetly hidden when you open the door, while the sink is at the opposite corner, in view of said door.

5. Double trouble

Double trouble

A better way to co-share the bathroom is to have a separate sink for each of you. This is a popular choice for master en-suites. And if the sections of the bathroom are adequately separated, it keeps bathroom smells at bay, which is great for your partner.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 234 sq ft
  • Width: 18 feet
  • Length: 13 feet

Specifics:

This floor plan has a large central corridor leading to a smaller subsection in the back. On one side of the 'passageway' is your vanity, with his-and-hers sinks. Opposite that, place a bathtub and shower cubicle, separated by a wall. Then at the back, you have the toilet and closet.

6. Sibling special

Sibling specialWhen your kids finally move out of their crib (or your bed) and into their own room, you may want a connecting door to your master bedroom, for your own peace of mind. Older kids can also have connecting doors to a shared bathroom, though it'll lead to lots of pranking rivalry.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 168 sq ft
  • Width: 12 feet
  • Length: 14 feet

Specifics:

Your kids will have to share the tub and shower, which is where the pranking comes in. At some point, one is sure to lock the other one out. Or in. Either way, there are two sinks in the front section while the bath has a toilet, a tub, and a closet, with a divider between them and the sinks.

7. Recessing sinks

Recessing sinks

In small bathrooms, recessed storage saves space. But even in a larger bathroom, pushing sections into the wall can be an interesting style choice. This particular bathroom has a dozen corners, literally. Those extra edges make it both fun and challenging to design.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 272 sq ft
  • Width: 17 feet
  • Length: 16 feet

Specifics:

The bathroom opens via double doors that directly face the shower cubicle. There's a sink on each side of the shower, and sub-rooms perpendicular to each sink. One sub-room holds the toilet while the other holds the tub. These sub-rooms could have solid walls or glass partitions.

8. Curvy Couture

Curvy Couture

For a bathroom that really stands out, consider something curvy. It'll cost more, because you've had to find a curved glass, and that's more expensive. Rounding out your bathroom surfaces can be costly too, because you want quality workmanship, and that comes with premium pricing.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 207 sq ft
  • Width: 13 feet 11 inches
  • Length: 11 feet 11 inches

Specifics:

Walking into the door gives you a direct view of your rounded tub. Pick a design that has the right curves. On one side of the door is a shower, and on the other side is a curved two-sink vanity. Then at the corner, hidden behind a divider, is your toilet.

9. Parallel bathing

Parallel bathing 1

Narrow bathrooms can feel frustrating, because they have a high square footage but not much leeway in layout. You can spark it up with exciting color schemes and smart design choices. Also, make sure the mirror is opposite the door. That makes the bathroom look twice as wide.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 182 sq ft
  • Width: 26 feet
  • Length: 7 feet

Specifics:

This bathroom option positions the bathtub and the toilet at opposite ends of your bathroom, with a two-person vanity between. There's also a shower closer to the bathtub side. Meanwhile, the toilet has a bidet and a WC, so this bathroom is sure to guzzle water. Recycle!

10. Comprehensive cleaning

Comprehensive cleaning

Some bathrooms are so luxurious you almost want to live in them. This particular bathroom has a larger square that leads into a smaller one, giving all your bathroom activities an added layer of privacy. The back end of the bathroom is where you shower or bathe.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 225 sq ft
  • Width: 11 feet
  • Length: 20 feet 6 inches

Specifics:

When you walk into the bathroom, one side of you has a door that leads into the toilet. You can opt to use the regular toilet or the bidet. Opposite the toilet section, there's a two-sink vanity and a wall-to-wall mirror. Then at the back, facing the main door, there's a tub and a shower.

11. Slide it out

Slide it out

Sliding doors are a great way to add some style to your bathroom. If your space is on the smaller side, you can avail yourself more bathing room with this kind of door. But this particular design is intended for mid-sized bathrooms. It does have a storage option though.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 101 sq ft
  • Width: 10 feet 2 inches
  • Length: 10 feet

Specifics:

This bathroom has a large closet on the wall facing the sink, though you could place a washer-dryer there as well, if you chose to. There's a wall divider that separates the back third of the room, a section containing a toilet, shower, and bathtub.

12. Clockwise construction

Clockwise constructionThe theory is, given a choice, most of us navigate by walking towards the East. Maybe we're following the sun. In this bathroom, you'll probably face the toilet before you face the sink, which is a logical way to use the restroom. The plan allows for a window as well.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 129 sq ft
  • Width: 14 feet 4 inches
  • Length: 9 feet

Specifics:

The toilet section of the bathroom is separated by a divider wall. There's a cabinet opposite the WC, for towels and bath products. Outside the subsection, facing the main door, there's a tub and a shower. Then, the left side of the door holds the vanity and washbasin.

13. Spaced out

Spaced outThe size of your bathroom doesn't necessarily correspond to its layout. A small bathroom can feel airy, while a massive one can feel cramped. It all depends on your chosen design. This particular one leaves you lots of walking room, using your tub as a focal point.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 110 sq ft
  • Width: 11 feet 9 inches
  • Length: 9 feet 6 inches

Specifics:

This bathroom floor plan doesn't allow for a shower, so if you want one, you'll have to place a portable shower head over the tub. Said tub functions as a sort of 'island' with its own wall divider. Then, there's a two-sink vanity and closet on one side, and a toilet on the other.

14. All the angles

All the angles

Turn your plain rectangular bathroom into something beautiful and stylishly off-centre. It's all a matter of positioning. Turn the tub this way, turn the shower that way, and now you have a broad, irregular space in the center of your bathroom, making it feel light and airy.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 192 sq ft
  • Width: 12 feet
  • Length: 16 feet

Specifics:

In this layout, only the toilet section has wall dividers. The tub might have anti-splash glass, and the shower generally has its own cubicle. They're both set diagonally, rather than positioning them flat against the walls. The bathroom also has double sinks with their own diagonal edge.

15. Subdivide your cube

Subdivide your cube

If your square bathroom is larger than 2oo square feet, you can stuff all your fixtures into it without crowding. This bathroom floor plan allows you to sub-section the bathroom, ensuring effective use of space. The room has three sinks … and three doors.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 245 sq ft
  • Width: 15 feet 6 inches
  • Length: 15 feet 1 inch

Specifics:

The first door swings open revealing a second door – one that leads to the toilet, bidet, and loo sink. Behind the main door – a storage cabinet. Opposite that? A vanity with two sinks at its opposite ends. The shower has its own door, and there's a tub in the middle of the room.

16. To a tee

To a tee 1

In theory, t-shaped bathrooms are easy to style. But how can you be sure what should go where? Well, you mostly want the toilet near the window, but that's not always practical. And it helps if there's a mirror staring at you when you open the door. That's not the case here.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 83 sq ft
  • Width: 11 feet 5 inches
  • Length: 7 feet 4 inches

Specifics:

The T section in this floor plan is roughly tub-sized, so that's the best place for it. You could put up a reflective glass tub divider in lieu of a mirror. Rule of thumb – you shouldn't see the toilet through the open door, so you can put it on one side of the door, and your sink on the other.

17. Back to back

Back to backSome couples prefer not to watch each other's morning routine, and this design is ideal for their master en-suite. It's also handy when you haven't made up after last night's fight. This layout allows for two windows, so this bathroom is pretty well lit.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 156 sq ft
  • Width: 13 feet
  • Length: 12 feet

Specifics:

The sliding bathroom door opens to a t-shaped wall-divider that has a sink and counter on either side. This way, you'll never 'accidentally' use each other's bath supplies. The other side of the room has a toilet, a shower, and a tub. The toilet is hidden behind a partial wall for privacy.

18. Mini midi

Mini midi

For bathrooms below the 100 square feet marker, the simpler the better. Opt for a minimalist design that leaves as much open space as possible. Otherwise, your cramped bathroom experience will be a nightmare. On the other hand, this is great for a downstairs guest bathroom.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 60 sq ft
  • Width: 8 feet
  • Length: 7 feet 6 inches

Specifics:

The floor plan is square, subdivided into two rectangles. There's a sink and mirror directly opposite the door, which instantly enlarges the appearance of the bathroom. There should be a window to one side and a sub-wall on the other, marking off the toilet and closet.

19. Seeing double

Seeing double

This is a really interesting bathroom design. It's two bathrooms in one, but the sides mirror each other. It's quirky, and feels a little like a maze. But it's lovely for a couple that bonds in the bathroom, especially with that two-seater home spa in one corner.

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 251 sq ft
  • Width: 18 feet 1 inch
  • Length: 13 feet 4 inches

Specifics:

When you first walk in, you may be a little puzzled, because you'll be faced with a seemingly random wall and two doors. Each door opens into a sub-bathroom with its own vanity and tub. And each sub-bath opens into a shared toilet with a shared WC and bidet.

20. Bathtub central

Bathtub central

What's the most important part of your bathroom? If it's a tub, then this is the perfect design for you. Everything is built around the bathtub in the center, and it has plenty of space all around. This gives your soothing bath an airy, unfettered feel. Such freedom, such bliss!

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 335 sq ft
  • Width: 17 feet
  • Length: 19 feet 9 inches

Specifics:

Opening the door, there's a divider on either side of you, and a luxurious tub in front of you. One side holds the toilet cubby, shielded behind a sliding door. The other side holds the shower. The tub itself has a view of large windows on two sides, and the mirrored vanity on the third side.

21. Windowless wonder

Windowless wonderBathrooms are rarely well lit. Their windows are tiny, and the glass is dimmed with a tint, stain, or textured patterns. The idea is to protect bathers from peeping toms, but it can also make your bathroom dark and miserable. But what if the bathroom has no windows at all?

Dimensions:

  • Square footage: 130 sq ft
  • Width: 13 feet 1 inch
  • Length: 9 feet 5 inches

Specifics:

This L-shaped design can use a backlit mirror to make up for its lack of windows. There's a sink perpendicular to the door, and the toilet section opposite the door is closed off behind a partial wall. The open door is stopped by a dividing wall, behind which is your shower and tub.

Floor it!

When you're working on your bathroom floor plan, it's not enough to have a flat sketch. Consider using movable, color-coded paper pieces. They represent your shower, toilet, sink, fixtures, and accessories. Shift them around until you get a configuration you're happy with.

Remember to account for the 'little things', like the position of the window, the flow of sunlight, how far the door swings (and in which direction) and whether you want an extra sink or Jacuzzi. Are you thinking of updating your bathroom layout? Tell us all about it in the comments!
