Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs w/ Baked Cheese Toast

Today’s Menu: Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs w/ Baked Cheese Toast

Our run of beautiful days goes on but I hear rain is on it’s way. Locked myself out of the house today, so thats always fun! Finally was able to get a neighbor go through a side door that I can’t get to and unlock the back door. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to build a deck and ramps so I can get in and out of all the doors, life in a wheelchair! For dinner always a classic comfort food, Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs w/ Cheese Toast

It had been a while since I had Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs and it sounded good. I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Spaghetti along with Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are the best I’ve found, fantastic taste and their 190 calories and 6 carbs for 3 Meatballs. Topped everything with Kraft 2% Shredded Mozzarella Cheese and Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce (Meat Flavored). I added a few sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms to the Sauce. Along with the great taste the Sauce is only 70 Calories and 6 Carbs! At the end of the post I left the product description for the Ronzoni Spaghetti, Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs, and the Bella Vita Pasta Sauce.

I also had healthy Life Whole Grain Bread that I buttered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and then sprinkled with Kraft 2% Shredded Mozzarella Cheese . Then I baked it at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Makes a quick and easy way for a side of Bread for Pasta Dishes. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.

Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Nutrition

Here’s something to absorb: One serving of RONZONI HEALTHY HARVEST pasta has over 20% of your daily recommended fiber intake – but did you know that fiber is good for you in more ways than just digestion?

People with diets high in fiber have a lower risk for weight gain, obesity, development of insulin resistance and diabetes. Fiber also prevents constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulosis, but it also helps reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases like colon and breast cancer. Fiber may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol, therefore reducing the risk of heart disease. It can also help lower blood sugar to better manage diabetes.

Dietary fiber is the edible part of plants, primarily carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the small intestine. Fiber may be digested by fermentation in the large intestine. By eating high fiber foods you feel fuller, eat less, with fewer absorbed calories.

Fiber comes in two basic forms – soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, seeds, brown rice, oats and barley. It prevents or reduces the absorption of certain substances into the bloodstream. Insoluble fiber is found mainly in whole grains and on the outside of seeds, fruits, legumes, and other foods. It is like a sponge that swells within the intestine to promote more efficient elimination and alleviate some digestive disorders.

Fiber is found only in plant foods and passes through the digestive tract without being completely broken down. Being indigestible, fiber provides no nutrients to the body, which is why for many years it was removed from processed foods like white bread. But, nutritionists have since discovered that fiber performs valuable functions precisely because it is not digested, and it is essential to good health.

Today’s Menu: Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Baked Artisan Multi Grain Bread

CHILLY this morning about 35 degrees, 31 tomorrow morning with a freeze warning! Come on Mother Nature with that warm weather. Being Mother’s Day I gave Mom a choice of what to have for Dinner. We thought about going to one of the local Steakhouses but Mom decided she wanted to eat at home and she wanted Lasagna. So for dinner I prepared; Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Baked Artisan Multi Grain Bread. As always I substitute Extra Lean Ground Turkey for the Beef.

lasagna

This has become one of our favorite dinners and our favorite Lasagna recipes, Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna! It’s very easy to make as the dinner kit contains the Lasagna Pasta, Tomato Herb sauce, Ricotta Sauce Mix, and Grated Parmesan Cheese. I added 1 lb. Jennie – O Lean Ground Turkey, 1 Cup water, 2/3 Cup 2% Milk, 1 (8 oz.) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (2 Cups), 1/2 cup Shredded dutch Gouda, and I also added a bit more seasoning (McCormick Grinder Italian Herb). I combined the Mozzarella and Goda Cheese. Gouda is such a great tasting Cheese and is a perfect melting Cheese. Basically you just layer your ingredients in a 8″ square baking dish and cover and bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes and bake an additional 10 minutes uncovered. The product description along with full instructions are at the bottom of the post.

Prepared by the instructions it was 390 calories but I cut that and the carb count down by using Honeysuckle White Extra Lean Ground Turkey instead of Beef and Sargento Reduced Fat 2% Mozzarella Cheese. The Lasagna came out delicious every time! Everyone really loves this. The flavor as always is excellent. The Sauce was thick and well seasoned and the same for the pasta, perfect, plus plenty leftovers to freeze for later. I also baked a loaf of the La Brea Bakery Take and Bake Artisan Multi Grain Loaf. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna

Today’s Menu: Old El Paso Stand ‘n Stuff Soft Flour Tortillas w/ Ground Turkey and all the Fix’ins

With this weather the way it is around here It’s no wonder so many people have the flu! Yesterday we had to turn the air conditioner onin the late afternoon because it was in the 80′s and a bit humid. Today a cold wind and 34 degrees, and had to turn the heat on! Amazing! For dinner I prepared my favorite Tortilla, the Old El Paso Stand ‘n Stuff Soft Flour Tortillas. I see them now more often in stores, so there a whole lot easier to find now. Love these things, their only 160 calories and 24 carbs for 2 Soft Shells, more than enough for 1 person by the time you load it up. So for dinner tonight it was Old El Paso Stand ‘n Stuff Soft Flour Tortillas w/ Ground Turkey and all the Fix’ins!

I filled mine with Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey – 99/1. I pan fried it in Canola Oil and seasoned it with Ground Cumin, Sea Salt, Cilantro Flakes, and a 1/2 packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning. Then for the fillers I added Green Giant Steam Crisp Super Sweet Yellow and White Corn, Sliced Black Olives, Bush’s Low Sodium Dark Red Kidney Beans, Lettuce, Kraft Mexican Taco Shredded Cheese, and Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce. If you’ve never tried the Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce it’s another you have to try. It’s got a nice creamy thick sauce with just the right amount of Chipotle heat!

To make the burger you’ll need; 1/2 Cup Kikkoman Less Sodium Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce, divided, 1 Dole Pineapple slice (drained reserve 1/4 cup juice), 1/4 lb Honeysuckle White Extra Lean Ground Turkey (99/1), 1/8 tsp fresh Ginger (grated), and 1/4 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs. the original recipe made 4 burgers i broke it down to make 2, 1 for lunch tomorrow. When frying the burger keep a close eye on it because it start to burn due to the Teriyaki Sauce.

To prepare it just stir together Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade and reserved pineapple juice in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons sauce for burgers. Mix together the turkey, ginger,Panko Bread Crumbs and 2 tablespoons Teriyaki mixture. Shape into patties. Fry or Grill pattie, brushing with remaining Teriyaki mixture until desired doneness. Place pineapple slices on grill and cook until lightly golden brown. Serve burger on buns with, Roasted Red Pepper Mayonnaise, Cheese and Pineapple. This makes one fine and juicy burger! The Teriyaki Sauce is perfect with the Turkey and Pineapple and the Roasted Red Pepper Mayonnaise gives it that bang of a taste.
To make the Roasted Red Pepper Mayonnaise you’ll need; 1/3 cup Hellman’s Light Mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons chopped Roasted Sweet Red Peppers, 1/2 teaspoon grated Lemon peel, and 1/8 teaspoon Sea Salt. Just make this ahead of time and refrigerate it. Mix all the ingredients until completely mixed and store. For a side with my burger I had some of those fantastic Potato Pancakes leftover. I just put them in skillet on medium low and warmed through. I’ve left the recipes at the end of the post. For dessert/snack later some Triscut Reduced Fat Crackers with slices of Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese.

Today’s Menu: Turkey Tacos w/ Refried Beans

Simple, easy, and delicious! It was Turkey tacos w/ Refried Beans for dinner tonight. It had been a while since I had Tacos. I used Honeysuckle White Extra Lean Ground Turkey, 99/1 and 140 calories and 0 carbs. I wanted to use Jennie – O Extra Lean which is 20 fewer calories but they were out of stock on it. I browned the Turkey until it was no longer pink, I fried it in Canola oil. As it finished browning I added a packet of Old El Paso Original Taco Seasoning.

I prepared several items for the filling to give everyone a variety. I prepared a can of Bush’s Reduced Sodium Black Beans, a small can of Del Monte Whole Kernel Corn, sliced Black Olives, a jar of Dunbar’s Sweet Roasted Peppers, shredded Lettuce, Kraft Mexican Taco Cheese, and two types of Taco Sauce; Ortega Mild Taco Sauce and Taco Bell Bold and Creamy Chipotle Sauce. So as you can see everyone had plenty of choices for their Taco fillings. I loaded mine with a bit of everything! I used the Ortega Mild Taco sauce. I also warmed up a can of Old El Paso Reduced Sodium Refried Beans. Just a note about the Dunbar’s Sweet Roasted Peppers, this was the first time I tried them. These were fantastic! Great flavor and went great with everything. For dessert/snack later tonight a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.

Today’s Menu: Grilled Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages w/ Kicked Up Chili Beans

It’s been a long night and day. Battling those Phantom Pains again! It started around 3:00 am and hasn’t let up through out the day today. The pain is almost unbearable sometimes. The sad part is there is no cure mainly because no one knows what causes them. Most amputees go through these, some worse than others.

Anyway I wanted a good hot meal but really didn’t want to have to put a lot of effort in it. So I fired up the grill and grilled some Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. I used the Honeysuckle White Brand Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. i love these, plump and juicy and grill up fantastic! They are 140 calories and 1 carb. I served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Hot Dog Bun and topped it with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard. For a side I prepared some Kicked Up Chili Beans, another favorite of mine. I used Joan of Arc Spicy Chili Beans and added Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce, Crumbled Turkey Bacon Bits, Splenda Brown Sugar, and a few dashes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I left the full recipe at the end of the post. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Kicked Up Chili Beans

Ingredients:

1 Can Spicy Chili Beans, Brand your choice. I use Joan of Arc
3 Pieces Crumbled Turkey Bacon. You can use Turkey Bacon Crumbles
4 Shakes Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, or to taste
1/2 Cup Jack Daniel’s Honey Smokehouse BBQ Sauce
1/2 Tablespoon Splenda Brown Sugar or to taste
1 Teaspoon Ground Mustard

Directions:

*Empty can of Beans into a medium sauce pan
*Add Turkey Crumbles, Brown Sugar, Ground Mustard, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, Honey BBQ Sauce, stir and mix.
*Heat until desired temperature, and serve
