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.

Today’s Menu: Pan Fried Seasoned Haddock w/ Seasoned Blackeye Peas and Diced Rutabagas
We went from sunny and pleasant Spring days right into late July hot, hazy, and humid weather. Really uncomfortable out today with a lot of pollen out there. But on the plus side its above 10 degrees with no snow or ice! Broke down today and purchased a new bed frame, mattress, and box springs and none to soon as my bed was ready to go at anytime. Went with a nice firm mattress. For dinner tonight I prepared a Pan Fried Seasoned Haddock w/ Seasoned Blackeye Peas and Diced Rutabagas.
I purchased the Haddock from Kroger Seafood Dept. yesterday. To prepare it I cut the fillet into smaller pieces and used Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Seasoning for it, one of my favorite seasonings. I pan fried it in Canola Oil about 3 1/2 minutes per side. Came out golden brown and full of flavor!

For side dishes it was all Margaret Holmes sides, except the Bread. I heated up a can of Margaret Holmes Seasoned Blackeye Peas and a can of Diced Rutabagas. I love the Blackeye Peas and the seasoning it comes in, it’s spot on! The Rutabagas I’ve had once before, something different for a side and it’s only 35 calories and 17 carbs per serving. I seasoned them with a pinch of Ground Nutmeg and a pinch of Splenda Brown Sugar. I also baked a loaf of La Brea Bakery Take and Bake Artisan Multi Grain Loaf. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.
Seasoned Blackeye Peas
Containing the highest percentage of protein of any other variety of pea, the Black-Eyed- Pea has been a staple in the southern kitchen for decades. Margaret Holmes Seasoned Black-eyed-Peas are slow simmered in a zesty blend flavorful spices and ready to eat right from the can. Nutritious and excellent by themselves or as an ingredient to soups and salads. Just heat-n-serve!

We are already getting some humid weather, not bad just enough to make it a little uncomfortable. On top of that I’m battling my Spring sinus problems. Happens every Spring and Winter like clockwork! Passes in about a week after the sinuses adjust. Because of that I really didn’t feel like putting a lot of effort into dinner so I made simple preparing a couple of Chili Dogs.
I used Ball Park White Smoked Turkey Franks that boiled. Just boiled in hot water for about 5 minutes and their done. Served them on Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Buns. I topped them with Hormel Turkey With Beans. Comes in a can just heat it up in a small sauce pan and it’s ready. I also topped them with a bit of French’s Yellow Mustard and Kraft 2% Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese. For dessert later a Jello sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free Topping.

Grilled Buffalo Terres Major Filet w/ Quinoa and Black Beans and Diced Potatoes

Today’s Menu: Grilled Buffalo Terres Major Filet w/ Quinoa and Black Beans and Diced New Potatoes
Rainy day out all day. Couldn’t get outside to do much today so I banged around the kitchen looking for something I haven’t tried before for dinner tonight. I had been wanting to try Quinoa for a while so today was the perfect day to try it. Scanned the internet looking for Quinoa recipes a came across a few that sounded good, I went with the Quinoa and Black Beans. So for dinner tonight I prepared Grilled Buffalo Terres Major Filet w/ Quinoa and Black Beans and Diced Potatoes.
The Terres Major Filet is a Buffalo Steak I first tried a couple of weeks ago. I heard that it was tender but that doesn’t begin to describe how tender and delicious this cut of Buffalo is! As usual it’s from Wild Idea Buffalo, which I’m going to have to place another order with soon. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn and I then fired up the grill and grilled it. It’s a very lean cut as are most cuts of Buffalo so you have to keep a close eye on it so not to over cook it. I grilled it about 3 1/2 minutes per side and then let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing it. It came out a perfect juicy medium rare with that delicious sweet flavor.
To go with my Steak I prepared Quinoa and Black Beans, for the first time. Besides the Quinoa (3/4 cup) I’ll need 1 teaspoon vegetable
oil, 3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped, 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon roasted ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, sea salt and pepper to taste, 1 cup corn kernels, 1 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, and 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Nothing but good and healthy things in this recipe! Easy to prepare I just heated the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stirred in the garlic, and sautéed until lightly browned. Mixed the quinoa into the saucepan and cover with vegetable broth. Season with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the corn into the saucepan, and continue to simmer about 5 minutes until heated through. Mix in the black beans and cilantro and continue to stir until all ingredients are heated through. One delicious and healthy dish! The Quinoa had sort of nutty taste to it and combined with all the other ingredients made a very filling and hearty dish. I also heated up a can of Del Monte Diced New Potatoes. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Fried Haddock w/ Baked Steakhouse Scalloped Red Potatoes, Green Beans, and Whole Grain Bread
Spent the afternoon at the rehab center with my Dad. Yesterday was a rough day for him, he just wasn’t feeling up to par. Today was a
much better day for him. He felt good and we were able to get him outside a bit, which always helps! I had some more of the Haddock frozen and I had it thawing in the fridge overnight. So for dinner tonight I prepared; Baked Steakhouse Scalloped Red Potatoes, Green Beans, along with sliced Whole Grain Bread.
I used the Zatarain’s Fish Fri Lemon Pepper Seafood Breading Mix again. I love this breading it’s quickly became my favorite Fish breading. I had the fillet cut into two smaller pieces and rinsed off with water already. 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 about a 1/2 inch of Canola Oil until it was golden brown. With this breading the Fish comes out perfect. The crust and the seasoning is meant for Fish!
For side dishes I prepared a new one from Idahoan; Idahoan Steakhouse Scalloped Red Potatoes. I really love using the Idahoan Products, they’re all delicious and so easy to prepare and this new one is no different. Great seasoning and taste and love the added Bacon and Ranch to it. Another great option from Idahoan. I also had a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer’s Carb Smart Vanilla Ice cream topped with fresh Mango slices.
The secret of authentic Southern Style fried fish is the crispy combination of corn flour, spices and lemon juice captured in this special Zatarain’s Frying Mix.

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 on
in 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! For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
