Today’s Menu: Italian Style Chicken Breasts w/ Wild Mushroom Agnolotti
We avoided the real bad weather as it stayed North of us. Did get some wind and rain at daybreak but nothing bad. Cooled down into the 70′s but still have that humidity, Ugh! For dinner I went with bit of an Italian flair, Italian Style Chicken Breasts w/ Wild Mushroom Agnolotti and Whole Grain Bread.
I used the Perdue Perfect Portions Italian Style Chicken Breasts again. I really like using these Chicken Breasts, they come frozen and individually wrapped. You can grill them, bake them, or fry them which is what I did this time. I pan fried the Breast in light Canola Oil about a total of 10 minutes all together, turning them once. Fried up perfectly and well seasoned with the hint of Italian Seasoning.
I served the Chicken with a side of Buitoni Wild Mushroom Agnolotti. In case you were wondering Agnolotti is a kind of ravioli. These are filled with fresh portobello & crimini mushrooms, imported grana padano & parmesan cheeses & fresh roasted garlic. To prepare just add the pasta to 4 quarts boiling water; added 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and stirred frequently to prevent it from sticking; reduced the heat to boil gently 4-6 minutes. Seasoned it with just a bit of Sea Salt and topped it with some freshly grated Dutch Gouda Cheese. With the added Chicken it made a perfect meal! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Seasoned Breaded Fried Haddock w/ Au Gratin Potatoes, Boiled Sliced Carrots, and Baked Sour Dough Bread
Warming up out there today, 85 degrees for today and the rest of the week. First a Deer earlier this week and now I spotted a family of raccoons, Mama and 3 little ones roaming around the edge of the woods. For dinner tonight I prepared a Seasoned Breaded Fried Haddock w/ Au Gratin Potatoes, Boiled Carrots, and Baked Sour Dough Bread.
Layed out a Haddock Fillet in the fridge overnight to thaw. Rinsed it off, patted it dry, and seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black 
Pepper. Sliced the fillet into smaller pieces and put them in a Hefty Zip Plastic Bag and added Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Breading Mix, shook till the pieces were all well covered. I pan fried them in Canola Oil, fried skin side down about 4 minutes and turned them over and fried for another 3 minutes. i love using the Zatarain’s Breading Mix, all are seasoned just right and make a perfect crust.
For side dishes I reheated some Idahoan Au Gratin Potatoes that were leftover from the other night, heated up a small can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots, and baked the other half of the Goldminer California Sour Dough Bread. I could make a meal of baked bread! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Shredded Buffalo Chuck Roast BBQ Sandwich w/ Baked Potato
A rainy morning turned into a beautiful and sunny day, with a beautiful weekend in store! Went to Walmart for milk, bread, and some chicken thighs to grill for tonight but choose to have some leftovers I had in the fridge. I still had some of the Wild Idea Buffalo Chuck roast left so for dinner I prepared a Shredded Buffalo Chuck Roast BBQ Sandwich w/ Baked Potato.
I hated to waste any food especially the Buffalo Chuck Roast! It’s so tender and with such an incredible flavor. I warmed it up and then shredded what was left. Served it on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun and topped it with JB’s Fat Boy Chipotle BBQ Sauce. What a great trio; Wild Idea Buffalo, JB’s Fat Boy Sauce, and Aunt Millie’s. I also had a Baked Potato topped with Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and I can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu:Seasoned Breaded Yellow Lake Perch w/ Cut Green Beans, Hash Browns, and Whole Grain Bread
After a few perfect days out the rain has set in. It’s rained most of the day, heavy at times, and continue through most of tomorrow. We need the rain though and the weekend is supposed to be beautiful. I had laid a 3 small Yellow Lake Perch fillets out in the fridge overnight to thaw. So for dinner tonight I prepared Season Breaded Yellow Lake Perch w/ Cut Green Beans, Hash Browns, and Whole Grain Bread.
I rinsed the fillets off and patted dry with a paper towel. I then seasoned them with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and then rolled it in Zatarain’s Garlic Seasoning Breading Mix. Sprayed a medium size skillet with Pam Spray and added 1 tablespoon of Canola Oil, then preheated on medium heat. I added the fillets to the pan, skin side down, and fried it a total of about 2 1/2 minutes per side. The fillets came out just like I like them, Golden Brown and with an incredible taste! I love using the Zatarain’s Breading mix on Fish, it’s perfect!
For sides I heated a 1 serving can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. I also fried some Simply Potatoes Has Browns, seasoned them with Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and Parsley. And had Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert tonight a Jello Sugarless Double Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Yellow lake perch
The yellow perch (Perca flavescens), commonly referred to as perch, is a freshwater perciform fish native to much of North America. The yellow perch was described in 1814 by Samuel Latham Mitchill from New York. Yellow perch are closely related, and morphologically similar to the European perch (Perca fluviatilis); however, the two are recognized as independent species based on anatomical and genetic differences. Other common names for yellow perch include American perch, coontail, lake perch, raccoon perch, ring-tail perch, ringed perch, and striped perch.
Latitudinal variability in age, growth rates, and size have been observed among populations of yellow perch, likely resulting from differences in day-length and annual water temperatures. Typically, northern populations of yellow perch live longer and grow to larger sizes. However, southern populations of yellow perch generally grow much faster. In many populations, yellow perch often live from 9-10 years, with adults generally ranging from 4-10 inches in length.
The world record yellow perch (18 in., 4 lb. 3 oz.)was caught in 1865 from New Jersey, and is the longest standing record for freshwater fish in North America. Anglers often refer to large yellow perch as “jumbo perch” or “jack perch”.

Today’s Menu: Braised Buffalo Chuck Roast w/ Mashed Potatoes, Sugar Snap Peas, and Whole Grain Bread
Another Perfect Summer Day out, about 70 or 72 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze! Drove my Dad to a Ford Retiree Union Meeting and spent some time at local park catching some of that beautiful sunshine! Well the Buffalo Burger was so delicious yesterday I’m preparing another Buffalo Dish for Dinner tonight. I prepared a Braised Buffalo Chuck Roast w/ Mashed Potatoes, Sugar Snap Peas, and Whole Grain Bread. Sounds pretty good and tasted even better!
My Braised Buffalo Chuck Roast weighed 1.4 lbs. It comes packaged and has already been braised. It was Braised in Organic Apple Cider, olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Black Pepper, and Sea Salt and the package includes some great juices also. To prepare it I used a 2.75 Quart Dutch Oven. I just sprayed the Dutch Oven with Pam Non Stick Spray and 1 Tbs. of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Added the Chuck Roast put the lid on it and warmed it up on medium heat, turning the Roast over once, for about 15 minutes. As was the first one I had of these it’s the most tender, moist, and flavorful Chuck Roast I’ve ever had! The Braise with the Apple Juice and Spices provided the flavor throughout the Roast! The only thing I added to it was a bit more Sea Salt and Black Pepper. The Buffalo is so lean, rich and hearty. Plenty leftover to make some delicious Pulled Buffalo BBQ Sandwiches with for lunch or dinner tomorrow!
For sides it was leftovers. I reheated the Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes and Sugar Snap Peas from the other night. I also heated up a jar of Heinz Savory Mushroom Brown Gravy and also had a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Cajun Spiced Seared Scallops w/ Brown Rice, Parmesan and Herb Red Potatoes, and Baked Artisan Multi Grain Loaf
They confirmed today my Dad is coming home Saturday from the rehab center! He’s been gone for a while now it’s going to be nice to have him home. So for dinner tonight while at Kroger yesterday I purchased some Bay Scallops, which I haven’t had in years! For Dinner; Cajun Spiced Seared Scallops w/ Brown Rice, Parmesan and Herb Red Potatoes, and Baked Artisan Multi Grain Loaf.
To prepare it I’ll need; 1 pound of Bay Sea Scallops, 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning, 2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1/2 teaspoon Sea 
Salt, Dash freshly Ground Peppercorn, 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and 2 teaspoons unsalted Butter. To prepare them is quick and easy first in a food storage bag, toss the scallops gently with the Zatarain’s Cajun Seasoning, 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for about 1 hour. Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons of butter in a large skillet over high heat. With tongs, arrange the scallops in the hot fat and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and your done! The Zatarain’s Cajun Seasoning is fantastic on the Scallops, nice heat and seasoning but not overpowering where you can’t enjoy the flavor of the Bay Scallops.
For side dishes I prepared some Uncle Ben’s Natural Whole Grain Brown Rice, not much to prepare it was the microwave single serving of Rice. The quick but still delicious way for Rice. I also prepared some more of the Idahoan Parmesan and Herb Red Potatoes. Second time I’ve had these and love them! I also baked up some more of the La Brea Bakery Take and Bake Artisan Multi Grain Loaf. I’ll have to have the Bay Scallops more often! The Scallops paired with the Parm Red Potatoes and Brown Rice is perfect! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.

Today’s Menu: Pulled Buffalo Sandwich w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans
With my Mom spending almost most of her time at the rehab center I spent the day catching up on all the housework and laundry 
today. Outside another cloudy and rainy day! For dinner a Pulled Buffalo Sandwich w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans.
The Pulled Buffalo was from Wild Idea Buffalo, of course. It was from my last order that I had ordered from them. First time I tried it and it was incredible! So delicious in fact that I as soon I update my Blog here I’m going to order 2 more 1 lb. packages. Originally I was going to make BBQ Sandwiches out of it but as I was heating it up I sampled it and I knew right away this didn’t need anything else added to it, it was perfect! It comes in 1 lb. packages already braised and seasoned. According to the package ingredients list it was braised and seasoned with Organic Apple Cider, Organic Lime Juice, Organic Onion Powder, Organic Cumin, Sea Salt, Organic Black Pepper, Organic Chili Powder, Organic Oregano, and Organic Cayenne Pepper. It all comes together to make one delicious meal! As I said earlier I was going to add BBQ Sauce but none is needed here, maybe some other time as it would make a fantastic BBQ. I served it on a Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bun.
To go with the Sandwich I made sides of Mashed Potatoes and Cut Green Beans. The Mashed Potatoes were Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes and were leftover from last night’s meal. The Green Beans were Del Monte Cut Green Beans in a single serve can, just heat and serve. For dessert later a Skinny Cow Fudge Ice Cream Bar.
Wild Idea Pulled Buffalo Meat
Pulled Buffalo Meat – Our pulled Buffalo Chuck Roast is rubbed with our own blend of Mexican seasonings and then slowly braised to fall apart tender. We’ve done the work for you, so all you need to do is heat and eat! Use in all of your favorite Mexican dishes, like tacos, enchiladas and quesadillas. Or use for B.B.Q. sandwiches!

Today’s Menu: Baked Rainbow Trout w/ Baked Potato and Boiled Mini Carrots
Spent time at the rehab center with my Dad. He’s getting stronger but he’ll be in there a while longer. Beautiful day out today and we were able to get my Dad outside to enjoy the sunshine for a while. For dinner tonight I prepared a Baked Rainbow Trout w/ Baked Potato and Boiled Mini Carrots.
I had the Rainbow Trout Fillet frozen. I had purchased 2 fillets of it from Kroger. To prepare the Trout I seasoned it with McCormick 
Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn with just a touch of Lemon Juice. I then baked it at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes until it was fork flakey. Came out delicious, just that hint of the Lemon was perfect.
To go with the Trout I prepared a Baked Potato that I seasoned with the Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn along with some I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and a spoonful of Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream. I also boiled some Mini Carrots and a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
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.
