Today’s Menu: Whole Grain Penne Pasta and Turkey Sausage w/ Mushrooms, Sockarooni Sauce, and Whole Grain Bread
Whole Grain Penne Pasta and Turkey Sausage tonight, healthy and a true comfort food! I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Penne Rigate Pasta. For the sauce I used Newman’s own Sockarooni Pasta Sauce and then for the Turkey Sausage I used Johnsonville Turkey Sausage. The sausage is 110 calories and 0 carbs.

I had precooked and sliced the Turkey Sausage earlier. I then boiled the pasta and while it was boiling I heated the pasta sauce and added the Turkey Sausage, that I had sliced up into bite size pieces and sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms. After boiling and draining the pasta I added the pasta back to pot and added the sauce and sausage to it and mixed until the pasta was well coated. I Seasoned the Pasta with McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, Parsley and Sea Salt. The Sockarooni is a Pasta Sauce made by Newman’s Own. It’s a fantastic thick sauce with great seasoning with Red and Green Bell Peppers and Mushrooms.I topped it with Kraft 2% Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Served it with slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later some Apple slices and a Mini Banana.

Today’s Menu: Brat Burgers and Baked Crinkle Fries

Brat Burgers?? That’s what I wondered when I ran across these at Walmart earlier today. I’m glad I did these Burgers are great! They come frozen, 6 to a box. These are big burgers, 1/3 lb. burgers! one is definitely a meal. A little high on calories at 350 and fat at 28g but the carbs are only 3g. You can grill them, broil them, or pan fry them which is the way I prepared them. Their ready in 15 – 18 minutes or until an internal temperature of 160 degrees, it was about 16 minutes. We topped them sliced Gouda or Sargento’s Reduced Fat Jack/Cheddar, French’s Golden Spicy Mustard, and Lettuce and served on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. Thank you Johnsonville, I love these! I left a recipe from the Johnsonville web site along with the link. For a side I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. Dessert later a Smart Ones Chocolate Brownie Fudge Sundae. These are very good and only 140 calories!
