Today’s Menu: Italian Style Chicken Breast Hoagie w/ Baked Crinkle Fries
Long day today doing one of my least favorite things to do, Shredding bills! It wouldn’t be so bad if I would do it every month or so but as usual I let them back up for months and months. So the biggest part of my day was shredding my bills and my parents. It would help also to have a better paper shredder, that didn’t overheat and stop every few minutes. Finally got through it though! For dinner I prepared an Italian Style Chicken Breast Hoagie w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.
I used Perdue Perfect Portions Italian Style Skinless and Boneless Chicken Breasts. Love these, just grab one from the freezer and prepare it! Already marinated and cooks up super quick. They have a few different types but the Italian Style is the only one I’ve seen sold around here. I baked mine, at 350 degrees for about 26 minutes. The internal temp read 170 degrees. Seasoned almost perfect, added a shake of Sea Salt to it. Served it on a Aunt Millie’s Deli Style Whole Grain Mini Sub Bun and topped it with a slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Provolone Cheese, sliced Black Olives, and Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms. For sides I had a few of the Dill Pickled Carrots and baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries with an Ice – Cold Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Baked Ham & Swiss Sliders w/ Baked Crinkle Fries
We got some hot and humid weather coming, around 89 to 90 degrees. I can take the heat but the humidity is what makes me uncomfortable. For dinner one my favorite recipes, Baked Ham & Swiss Sliders w/ Baked Crinkle Fries. A while back I made some Aunt Millie’s Baked Ham & Swiss Rolls, using Aunt Millie’s Hawaiian Rolls. This time I made them using Kroger Whole Wheat Slider Buns. These are only 70 calories and 13 carbs. I also used Kroger Hickory Smoker Ham and it’s 70 calories and 1 carb per serving along with Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese which is 40 calories and 1 carb per slice, but I’ll only be adding a half a slice per sandwich.
This is makes one tasty sandwich! This is another one of those keeper recipes. To prepare it preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then I 
used the package of Slider Buns, 1 – 12 oz. Package of Kroger Private Selection Hickory Smokehouse Ham, and 1 package of Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese. I placed the bottom half of the bun in the bottom in a deep baking pan large enough to hold 12 sandwiches, about 11″ x 14″ pan. Then I topped the rolls in the pan with Ham slices, and top with the Swiss Cheese slices. and placed the top of the rolls on the sandwiches.
I then poured a topping mixture evenly over the sandwiches. To make the mixture I combined the following ingredients: 4 Tbsp. butter (1/2 stick) melted, 2 tsp. dried onion, 1 1/2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce, 1 1/2 tsp. Poppyseed dressing, and 1/2 tsp. yellow mustard. Mix well with a whisk or fork till its well combined. Pour mixture evenly over the sandwiches. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes then remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes to allow the rolls to crisp. Remove from oven to cool and serve. And as I said earlier they are delicious. The topping mixture is what gives it it’s fantastic flavor. I can’t wait to try this on some Grilled Cheese or Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwiches! The recipe is for 12 sandwiches, I only made 6 Sandwiches so I cut back on the amount of Butter I used. I used Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter, another calorie and carb saver! Just by doing the little things like going to an Ultra Thin cut of Meat or Cheese or by going with low fat, reduced fat, low carb you can end up reducing the fat, calorie and carb count on any recipe. It all adds up. Once again the Sandwiches came out absolutely delicious! It’s just the whole combination of everything that just bursts these Sandwiches with flavor. I love these sandwiches!! I’ve left the original recipe and web site link to Aunt Millie’s below.
To accompany my Baked Ham and Swiss Sandwiches I prepared some Baked Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Turkey Pepperoni, Turkey Sausage, Mushrooms, Black Olive, Classic Crust Pizza
Beautiful Day out, about 70 and sunny! My parents went out to eat with friends so it was solo night for dinner and a Pizza sounded real good! I prepared a Turkey Pepperoni, Turkey Sausage, Mushrooms, Black Olive, Pizza. Oh and almost forgot I also added a small can of Anchovies!
I used my favorite Pizza Crust, Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust. To prepare it just preheat your oven on 400 degrees. Use a medium to large cookie sheet pan and spray it lightly with Pam. Then just open the can and spread the crust. The good thing about this is you make your crust as thin or as thick you want. Prebake it for 8 minutes and then add your toppings and put it back in the oven 8 – 10 more minutes until the crust is golden brown. Just a note; precook any of the toppings that need to be cooked, like any Sausage, before adding it as a topping.
My toppings were Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Jennie O Lean Breakfast Sausage, Anchovies in Olive Oil, Black Olives, Mushrooms (Sliced baby Bella), Sargento Shredded Mozzarella and Provolone Cheese, and Ragu Homestyle Pizza Sauce. As I said earlier the crust is fantastic! It bakes up to a golden brown with the outer crust nice and crunchy. I left the Pillsbury product description and web site link at the end of the post. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Grilled Turkey Burger w/ Roasted Red Potatoes and Green Beans
The results from all my blood work came back negative! So they say it looks as though the high enzymes that showed up for my liver is 
being caused by a bit of fat on the liver, nothing that can’t be taken care of. Woke up this morning and it was 40 degrees with a chilly wind! Only a high in the 50′s, but sunny! For dinner I fired the grill up, grilling a couple of Angus Beef Burgers for Mom and Dad and myself a Turkey Burger along with a side of Roasted Red Potatoes and Green Beans.
The Parents are partial to Beef over Turkey so I grilled them a couple of Walmart Brand Angus Beef Burgers. For myself I grilled a Jennie – O Lean Turkey Burger Pattie. They are 1/4 lb Burger Patties and are 180 calories and 0 carbs. They grilled up real nice, I grilled it about 15 minutes flipping 3 times. It’s one juicy Burger, seasoned it with sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. Served all the Burgers on Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Buns and topped my mine with a slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Colby/Jack Cheese.
For a side to with our Burgers I prepared another Of Meijer’s New Steamable Frozen Products, Roasted Red Potatoes and Green Beans with Rosemary Butter Sauce. Just microwave it in it’s steamable bag for 5 minutes and it’s done! Another good one from Meijer, plus it’s only 60 cal, 1g fat, 12 carbs. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt. Happy Memorial Day Weekend All!

Today’s Menu: Grilled Steak Hoagies on Whole Grain Sub Buns w/ Baked Crinkle Fries
It was back to the family Doctor this morning. He wanted to go over a few things from the blood work. He took a bit more blood to 
check my Iron count and a few other things, still hoping it’s nothing serious. It really upsets me and troubles me when something comes back from testing out of whack. With everything I’ve been through I just get real jittery. Got to stay positive though! For dinner another one of the J.T.M. Hoagies along with some baked Ore Ida Crinkle Fries.
I used the J.T.M. Beef Steak Hoagies I had used the other day. They come pre-cooked and frozen so all you have to do is warm them back up. You bake them pan fry them or grill them, I pan fried them this time. It took about 3– 4 minutes per side and they were ready. J.T.M. is one of the better tasting prepared Hoagies and they have a whole line of Hoagies, Hamburgers, and such. I served them on Aunt Millie’s Deli Style Whole Grain Mini Sub Buns. For toppings I Sauteed some Baby Bella Mushrooms, Ragu Original Pizza Sauce, and Sargento Ultra Thin Provolone Cheese. For a side to go with my Hoagie I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries. For a dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
JTM Steak Hoagie
In Greater Cincinnati, steak hoagie fans have preferred the same, old-fashioned, juicy steak hoagie patty they’ve come to love and enjoy at block parties, festivals and pizza shops. In southern Ohio, JTM is the definitive brand of this popular sandwich phenomenon.

Taco Night! Turkey Tacos!

Today’s Menu: Taco Night! Turkey Tacos!
Has Spring actually arrived and staying? 80 degrees and sunny out today, a perfect day! We”ll wait and see if drops back down to chilly in a day or so. On to tonight’s dinner; It was Turkey Taco Night along with a side of Fat Free Refried Beans.
Tonight’s meal was almost all Old El Paso. I used Old El Paso Stand Up Taco Shells, Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans, Old El Paso, 
Sliced Green Chilies, and Old El Paso Original Taco Seasoning. OLE! The Ground Turkey I used was Honeysuckle White Extra Lean Ground Turkey (99/1). I browned the Turkey in Canola Oil, seasoning it with Sea Salt, Ground Pepper, Ground Roasted Cumin, Dried Cilantro, and the Old El Paso Taco Seasoning. I almost always substitute Ground Turkey or Ground Buffalo for Ground Beef, all around healthier for you (See the end of the post).
My toppings for the Tacos include Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green Chilies, Shredded Lettuce, Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican, and Old El Paso Taco Sauce (Medium). As I said Earlier I used Old El Paso Stand Up Taco Shells and I had a small side of Refried Beans topped with Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream. Can’t wait to make some Ground Buffalo Tacos here in the next week or so! For dessert later a bowl of Breyer’s Carb Smart Vanilla Ice cream topped with some sliced Mangos.
Ground Turkey vs Ground Beef
A 100-g serving of ground turkey contains 148 calories, while the same-sized serving of ground beef contains 192 calories.
Ground turkey contains much less fat than ground beef, which is generally considered to be a benefit. Each 100-g serving of ground turkey contains 7.7 g of fat, while 100 g of ground beef contains 12.7 g.
Both ground beef and ground turkey can be appropriate for carbohydrate-restricted diets, as both are carbohydrate-free.
Ground beef and ground turkey are both good sources of protein. Ground turkey contains slightly more protein, 19.7 g, than ground beef, which contains 19.4 g. This difference is unlikely to affect your overall health.

Well my original plan was to have a new recipe with Chicken Tenders that had Honey in the recipe. I thought I had plenty of Honey on
hand but as I was gathering my ingredients I found I just had a small amount and it had turned to Sugar. I’ll learn to check ahead! So with that put on hold I went with Campbell’s Chunky New England Clam Chowder and Hearty Potatoes w/ Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
The Clam Chowder was easy to prepare; just empty the can into a small sauce pan and stir and heat. It’s a very good tasting Chowder that’s nice and thick. I served it with a side of Skyline Oyster Crackers. To go with the Chowder I made a Grilled Cheese Sandwich using Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread and Sargento Reduced Fat Cheddar Jack Cheese. Everything simple but filling and delicious. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.

Another beautiful Spring Day out again. I think everyone is thankful that it’s finally arrived! Spent part of the day riding around on the 4 wheel mobility cart and down around the lake, its beautiful out. For dinner I wanted something light so I prepared a Blackened Turkey and Salami Mini Sub Hogie w/ Baked Fries.
I used an Aunt Millie’s Whole Grain Mini Sub Bun. Then for my toppings I used Boar’s Head Blackened Turkey, one of my new favorite Boar’s Head Meat Selections. It has a fantastic flavor with some nice heat. Along with the Turkey I also had Kroger Brand Private Selection Hard Salami and a slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese. For a side I Baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries topped with a little Hunt’s Ketchup. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Sliced Peaches.

Today’s Menu: Blackened Turkey on Whole Grain w/ Potato Bacon Chowder
Gorgeous day out today, 79 and sunny! Well while at Kroger early this morning shopping for some ingredients for the Potato Bacon Chowder I was going to prepare later for dinner I came across a new item, Boar’s Head Blackened Turkey. I asked the lady behind the counter if she had tried it and she said they had just put it in the Deli Case very early this morning. So she sliced us both off a piece to try it and its a winner! You taste the Blackened and there’s a nice hint of heat to it. I checked on Boar’s Head web site and it’s not even listed yet. So I ended getting a 1/3 of a pound for sandwiches. For dinner tonight, Blackened Turkey on Whole Grain w/ Potato Bacon Chowder.
For the Sandwich I used the Boar’s Head Blackened Turkey, Hellman’s Light Mayo, French’s Yellow Mustard, Bibb Lettuce, a slice of Sargento Muenster Cheese, and Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bun. You have to try this Boar’s Head Blackened Turkey, it’s delicious!
Now for the Chowder. The Potato Bacon Chowder came from Mrs. City Boy. I’ve left the original recipe and her web link at the bottom 
of the post. Thank you Becky, great recipe! I made mine a bit different from the original recipe. I used Oscar Mayer Low Sodium Turkey Bacon, Green Onions, Del Monte Diced New Potatoes, Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Chicken, Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream, 2% White Milk, and Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and Parsley for seasoning. I omitted the cup of chopped Onions and used Green Onions to give it that Onion taste. I’m just not real big on Onions. To prepare it fry the Turkey Bacon, add Green Onions and saute’ 2-3 minutes. Pour off fat. Add Diced Potatoes and Water. Bring to boil; cover and simmer 10-15 minutes until Potatoes are tender. Stir in Soup and Sour Cream. Gradually add Milk. Add Salt, Pepper and Parsley. Continue heating for a few minutes to allow flavors to mix. There you have it one nice Chowder! Fantastic flavor and it’s got good thickness to it, which I love thick Chowders, Chili and such. this would a good Clam Chowder also. Thank you again Becky! For dessert/snack later Thin Sliced Kahn’s Deluxe Bologna, sliced Cracker Barrel 2% Sharp Cheddar Cheese, and a serving of Ritz Whole Grain Crackers.
Potato Bacon Chowder
Ingredients:
8 slices bacon, cut
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups cubed potatoes
1 cup water
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1-3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons parsley
Dash pepper
Directions:
Fry bacon, add onion and saute’ 2-3 minutes. Pour off fat. Add potatoes and water.
Bring to boil; cover and simmer 10-15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Stir in soup and sour cream.
Gradually add milk. Add salt, pepper and parsley.
Continue heating for a few minutes to allow flavors to mix.
Tips:
When I cut my bacon I cut each slice into eighths, but it can be cut bigger or smaller depending on how much you like it dispersed into the soup.
Since I used dried parsley, I used about 1 or 1-1/2 tablespoons rather than the whole 2 the recipe calls for, but again, it’s a matter of taste preference.

Today’s Menu: Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwich w/ Creamy Tomato Soup
Another dreary day out today, a lot of rain. Not much of an appetite today so I went with a Soup and Sandwich. Dinner tonight, Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwich w/ Creamy Tomato Soup.
For the Sandwich I used Kroger Brand private Selection Smokehouse Hickory Ham, Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. I just heated the Ham up a bit in a skillet and it was ready. I used Amy’s Organic Creamy Tomato Soup, one of my favorites! Ric and creamy Soup and it’s only 110 calories and 19 carbs per serving. There’s 2 servings per can so I always have my lunch the next day when I fix this. Served it with a side of Skyline Oyster Crackers. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer’s carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Del Monte No Sugar Added Sliced Peaches.
Amy’s Organic Creamy Tomato Soup
