Today’s Menu: Grilled Blackened Grouper w/ Southwest Style Rice and Beans, Cut Spears of Asparagus, and Beans, and Whole Grain Bread.
Yesterday afternoon a couple of good friends of mine called and said they just got back from Florida and they had me something. Did they ever, they had went fishing the day before and brought me back a huge package of fresh Gulf Coast Grouper! Beautiful fillets, one of them was a 26 lb. Grouper. They also gave a bag of Cobalt which I tried for the first time last year. So tonight for dinner I prepared Grilled Blackened Grouper w/ Southwest Style Rice, Cut Spears of Asparagus, and Beans, and Whole Grain Bread.
To prepare the Grouper I’ll need a tablespoon or so of Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter and Zatarain’s Blackened Seasoning. Preheated 
the grill up on high I rinsed the Grouper off and patted dry. Melted the 1 T butter in a microwave about 15 seconds and brushed both sides of the Grouper with the melted butter. I then coated both sides of the Grouper with a generous amount of the rub. Then I got my Fish Basket out and sprayed it with Pam Grill Spray. Loaded the Grouper in the grill basket. If you’re using a griddle then add a tablespoon or so of vegetable oil to grill. Do not use olive oil since it smokes at high temperatures. Placed my Grouper on the preheated grill and closed the lid. Grilled for only 2 minutes and then flipped it and grilled another 2 minutes. Use a watch and keep a very close eye on it, do not over cook! The result some beautifully delicious Blackened Grouper! You had the heat of the Blackened Seasoning and grilling it with the lid shut gave it a nice smoked taste also. I couldn’t get it much fresher either, straight from the Gulf and on to the grill in a matter of 3 days! I’ll have some leftovers for Grouper Sandwiches for lunch tomorrow!
To go with my Grouper I prepared a new dish from Meijer, Meijer Steamable Southwest Style Rice and Beans with Butter Sauce. Comes frozen in a microwaveable bag. Just heat for microwave 4-5 minutes and it’s ready. Meijer’s has winner with this great taste, easy to fix, and it’s 210 calories, 2g fat, 38 carbs. They had several new Steamable Items and I purchased 2 other kinds I’ll give a try another time. I also had a side of Green Giant Cut Spears of Asparagus, and Healthy Choice Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.
Zatarain’s Blackened Seasoning
This spicy seasoning blend is rubbed on the outside of fish (or chicken, steak or other meats) for blackening. Also great as a seasoning rub for the grill or broiler.
Ingredients:
SALT, PAPRIKA, CAYENNE PEPPER, BLACK PEPPER, WHITE PEPPER, CHILI POWDER, MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, ONION, GARLIC, SPICES.

Today’s Menu: Fried Walleye w/ Sugar Snap Peas, Corn Kernels, and Whole Grain Bread
We avoided a frost this morning but it was still at 34 degrees again this morning. They say that should be the end of our cold mornings 
as we have high’s in the 80′s coming! Wait and see. Tomorrow morning I have to start breaking in a new family doctor. I had been with the same one now for about 8 years but he’s moving his office further away so I found a local family doctor that took me in. I hope he’s as easy as my last one to get broke in! For dinner I prepared Fried Walleye w/ Sugar Snap Peas, Corn Kernels, and Whole Grain Bread.
Kroger had some great looking Walleye Fillets so I picked up a couple of them and cut them up into 2 bags, I froze one and I’m having the other for dinner tonight. I rolled the fillets in Zatarain’s Fish Fri Lemon Pepper Seafood Breading Mix. After washing the Walleye and patting them dry on a paper towel I then poured some of the breading mix into a Hefty Zippper Bag and added the Fish shaking it in the bag until it was well covered. I skillet fried it in Canola Oil until it was golden brown. Love the crust and flavor that the Zatarain’s provides.
For side dishes I prepared a bag of the Walmart Marketside Sugar Snap Peas and heated up a can of Del Monte Low Sodium Corn Kernels. I also had a couple of slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.
Lemon Pepper Fish-Fri

Today’s Menu: Fried Crappie w/ Hash Browns, Green Beans, and Baked Garlic Knot Rolls
One long night last night! I was dealing with some very bad and strong Phantom Pains. They were the worst I’ve had to deal with in quite some time. Phantom pains are exactly that, they are pains that amputees sometimes experience in the area of their missing limb. Mine being my left leg that was amputee back in 2001. There’s no known cure or treatments that work to ease the pain so I just have to ride it out. This started sometime during the early morning hours and I’ve had it ever since, hopefully it will quit soon! Mom stayed and had dinner with my Dad at the rehab center so it’s just me tonight. I prepared Fried Crappie w/ Hash Browns, Green Beans, and Baked Garlic Knot Rolls. it had been a while since I broke out one of the frozen Crappie bags and prepared them and it time tonight!
I normally just season the Crappie with Sea Salt and Ground Pepper and rolled in Bread Crumbs but tonight I rolled the fillets in Zatarain’s Fish Fri Lemon Pepper Seafood Breading Mix. After washing the Crappie and patting them dry on a paper towel I then poured some of the breading mix into a Hefty Zippper Bag and added the Fish shaking it in the bag until it was well covered. I skillet fried it in Canola Oil until it was golden brown. With this breading the Fish comes out perfect. The crust and the seasoning is meant for Fish! Crappie is delicious anyway you fix it but this breading makes it even more mouth watering!
To go with the Crappie I prepared some Hash Browns, Simply Potatoes has Browns. You can’t beat Simply Potatoes brand Has Browns. Just season and fry to how done and brown you want them. Quick, easy, and delicious. Makes a great side for any meal. I also heated up a single serve can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans and I baked some Walmart Bakery Savory Garlic Knot Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Today’s Menu: Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi w/ Whole Grain Bread
Rummaging around the freezer last night I found a bag of Kroger Brand Jumbo Shrimp. So for dinner I prepared Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi w/ Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread.
Using Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner you can add Chicken, Pork, or Shrimp, but I always go with the Shrimp but I think some Blackened Chicken would be great with this also! I used the Jumbo size Shelled and Tailless Shrimp. I lightly heated the Shrimp for about 3 minutes per side and seasoned them with some Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper and Zatarains Creole Seasoning. I then cooked the Pasta by the box directions and added in the Shrimp as the Pasta was finishing up. I left the info and details at the bottom of the post on the Zatarain’s. The Scampi came out fantastic! Great flavor, seasoned just right with a bit of heat! Real easy to make and the Zatarains Scampi Pasta is only 110 calories and 21 carbs. The added Shrimp was 120 calories and 0 carbs. I also had a couple of slices of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread. For a dessert/snack later some Tostito‘s Whole Grain Scoops along with Newman’s Own black Bean and Corn Salsa, which is my new favorite Salsa of choice.

Today’s Menu: Leftovers: Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi w/ Aunt Millie’s Hawaiian Style Rolls
My plan was to hit the market after breakfast but the weather delayed that up for me. It snowed only about 1″ but the wind was so bad that it was freezing it on the roads as soon as it the road. So needless to say we some of the World’s worst drivers in Ohio and if it snows or heavy rain you drive at your own risk! So I waited until the afternoon when the roads cleared up a bit and it was safer for a guy with one leg walking from the parking lot to the store. I went to Walmart and was lucky to find a spot to park and grab an electric cart go shop in. We are due for a larger snow along with some bitter cold weather over the weekend so as usual when snow is mentioned in our forecast everyone panics and hits the grocery store to stock up! This area here in Ohio is so funny to watch people panic just at the mention of SNOW!! Well anyway it me a while but I finally got back from shopping and just wasn’t in the mood to put a lot of effort into cooking tonight so it was leftovers to the rescue! So for dinner I warmed up the leftover Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi from last night’s dinner. It was just as good the second time around, thank goodness for leftovers! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip free.

Today’s Menu: Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi w/ Whole Grain Bread
For dinner I had the Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Scampi Pasta Mix. I had this last week and couldn’t wait to hav
e it again. You can add Chicken, Pork, or Shrimp, which is what I added, to it to make a complete meal. I used medium size Shelled and Tailless Shrimp. I boiled the Shrimp for about 4 minutes and seasoned it with Old Bay Seasoning. I then cooked the Pasta by the box directions and added in the Shrimp as the Pasta was finishing up. I left the info and details at the bottom of the post on the Zatarain’s. The Scampi came out fantastic! Great flavor, seasoned just right with a bit of heat! Real easy to make and the Zatarains Scampi Pasta is only 100 calories and 21 carbs. The added Shrimp was 100 calories and 0 carbs. I left the Zatarain’s product description and instructions at the end of the post. I had a side of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Smart Ones dessert, Chocolate Brownie Fudge Sundae.
