Today’s Menu: Montgomery Inn Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich w/ Baked Fries
To start this day off I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin, and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 95 degrees and sunny out today, and the humidity
was terrible! Not a good day to be outside working so, I cleaned the house today, dusted and ran the sweeper. For Dinner tonight I prepared Montgomery Inn Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich w/ Baked Fries.
I love Montgomery Inn Hardwood Smoked Pulled Pork with BBQ Sauce. Montgomery Inn is one of the original Barbecue and Ribs 
Restaurant in the Cincinnati area. It has some of the finest BBQ food anywhere! They also sell their Ribs and Pulled Pork and Chicken at all Kroger. So when it’s Pulled Pork I almost always use the Montgomery Inn brand. Anyway you just heat it in a medium sauce pan until it’s warmed and you have BBQ. It’s the perfect combination of the Pork and the mouth watering Montgomery Inn Sauce that makes this so delicious! Plus it’s only 110 calories and 8 carbs per serving. I served it on a Healthy Life Wheat Bun.
I also baked up some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. Served these with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Today’s Menu: Grilled BBQ Chicken Breasts w/ Roasted Butternut Squash and Green Beans
For Breakfast this morning I was starving so I made favorite of mine, Hash Browns and Diced Ham. I made some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, heated up some Meijer Diced Ham, and 
had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I made a bed of the Hash Browns in a bowl and sprinkled some Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns. Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After Breakfast I went to McDonald’s to pick up Breakfast for Mom. Rain and thunderstorms out today, high of 82 degrees. Not a lot going on today with the rain outside. Did a few things around the house. For Dinner tonight its Grilled BBQ Chicken Breasts w/ Roasted Butternut Squash and Green Beans.
I picked the Chicken up at Meijer, Katie’s Best Skinless and Boneless Chicken Breasts, and had the package in the freezer. Sat the package in the fridge overnight to thaw. I had the Dinner Trio a 
while back and it was so good having it again tonight. For the BBQ Sauce I’m using Kraft Hickory Smoke BBQ Sauce. I’m seasoning the Chicken with Morton’s Lite Salt and Ground Black Pepper. I went out and fired the grill up first. Next I sprayed the Chicken with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray on both sides of the Chicken Breast, then seasoned them with the Salt and Pepper and waited for the Grill to heat.
With the Grill ready I started. Added the Chicken and shut the lid on the grill. I let the chicken cook for 7 minutes, then used the tongs to flip the breasts over. Grilled for another 7 minutes longer.
With about 1 minute of cooking time left I basted the Chicken with the Kraft Hickory Smoke BBQ Sauce and finished cooking. Checked temperature of the Chicken with a thermometer reads it read just a tad over 165°. The Chicken came out fantastic! Moist and flavorful. Love that Kraft Sauce, and it was excellent! The Katie’s Best Skinless and Boneless Chicken Breasts has become our favorite Chicken Breasts.
Then for one side I prepared some Roasted Butternut Squash, easy recipe for some delicious Butternut Squash! I purchased 1 small package of Diced Butternut Squash at Kroger. They sell 
packages of it that they dice up. This is a lot easier than peeling and seeding one yourself, especially if you don’t have a good knife to cut it. I’ll need; 1 package of Diced Butternut Squash, Walnut Pieces, 1 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick Grinder Sea Salt, and 1 teaspoon McCormick Grinder Peppercorn Medley.
To prepare it; Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the Squash on a sheet pan and drizzle with the Olive Oil, add the Walnut Pieces, Salt, and Peppercorn and toss well. Arrange the squash in 
one layer and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the Squash is tender, turning once with a spatula. And done, very easy to prepare. With the small amount of Seasoning and Olive Oil, it really brings out the flavor of Butternut Squash! The Walnuts work perfect with the Squash. I really love Butternut Squash!
As the Squash was roasting I had also opened up a Mason Jar of our Canned Green Beans, canned last summer, and had them cooking. Love these Beans, they taste just as fresh as the day we 
bought them. Just heat them up in a large sauce pan and serve. Fresh Green Beans any time you want. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

Today’s Menu: Grilled BBQ Boneless Pork Top Loin Chops w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans
For Breakfast this Sunday Morning I prepared Turkey Sausage, Egg White Scrambled Eggs, Toast, and Tea. I picked up a package of the Jennie – O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links while at Meijer. 
Meijer finally has started to have them in stock all the time now! Love these, so fresh and fry up perfect. Plus they are only 70 calories for 2 links! I also Scrambled some Egg Beaters Egg Whites, topped them with a sprinkle of Sargento Off the Block Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Next toasted a slice of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread and made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. That’s a great Breakfast to start any day of the week! 85 degrees, humid, and rain and thunderstorms out today. I went and got Breakfast for Mom at McDonald’s and afterward she went on to Church. For me I did a load of laundry and cleaned the house today. Watched TV then the rest of the afternoon. For Dinner tonight I prepared Grilled BBQ Boneless Pork Top Loin Chops w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans.
I purchased the Boneless Pork Top Loin Chops from Meijer yesterday. I wasn’t sure what I wanted and the Meat and Seafood manager asked me what I was looking for and I told him “Not sure but
looking for something to grill”. He said stay right here and I’ll cut you something fresh. Then he brought out the Boneless Pork Top Loin Chops. They looked fantastic and I had what I was going to grill. Thank you Meijer Meat Department! I love Meijer, everything so fresh and the prices are some of the best!
To prepare them I seasoned them with Morton’s Lite Salt and Ground Black Pepper. I went out and fired the the grill up next. I’ll be using Kraft Hickory Smoke BBQ Sauce on the Chops. With the 
Chops Seasoned and the Grill fired up I started grilling the Chops. I grilled them for 3 minutes and then rotated them a 1/4 turn to get those beautiful grill marks and continued to cook them another 2 minutes. Turn the Chops over cooked them 2 minutes and rotated a 1/4 turn again. Continued to cook them for 2 minutes. With a minute of cooking time left I basted the Chops with the BBQ Sauce. Removed them from the grill and shut the grill down. The Chops were fantastic! Moist and tasted great!
As the Chops were being grilled I prepared some Bob Evan’s Mashed Potatoes. Just microwave for 6 minutes and serve, just as good as homemade, if not better. Mashed Potatoes are perfect to go
with any meal!
When having Mashed Potatoes you have to have Green Beans! I had also opened up a Mason Jar of our Canned Green Beans, canned last summer, and got them cooking. Love these Beans, they
taste just as fresh as the day we bought them. Just heat them up in a large sauce pan and serve. Fresh Green Beans any time you want, I love it! For Dessert later a Breyer’s 100 Calorie Cup of Oreo Vanilla ice Cream, love these little cups!
Pork Facts….
One serving of pork is 3 ounces, or about the size of a deck of cards, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. An image of the portion size is important because a thick pork chop can be twice that size and without realizing it you can eat double the calories. You’ll get 137 calories and 4 grams of fat from a 3-ounce pork chop. Pork is similar to chicken, with 3 ounces of chicken breast containing 140 calories and 3 grams of fat. A pork chop has 65 milligrams of cholesterol, compared to 72 grams in chicken breast, but they both have just 1 gram of saturated fat.

Crock Pot – Boneless Pork Loin Roast w/ Roasted Butternut Squash and Cut Italian Green Beans

Today’s Menu: Crock Pot – Boneless Pork Loin Roast w/ Roasted Butternut Squash and Cut Italian Green Beans
I just had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. I wanted to go to Walmart, so when going there the earlier the better. If you don’t go early and you rely on the mobility electric carts you won’t get one or it will not be charged up. They have very few. Our Church is helping some low-income families and I purchased some plate settings, cutlery trays with the cutlery, dish towels, pot holders, and 3 piece skillet sets. I love helping others if I’m able to! Another reason I went early was I wanted to beat the rains moving in for the afternoon. For Dinner tonight Crock Pot – Boneless Pork Loin Roast w/ Roasted Butternut Squash and Cut Italian Green Beans
I purchased the Pork Loin Roast from Kroger yesterday and had it in the fridge. This morning got it out of the fridge and Seasoned it with Morton’s Lite Salt and Fat Boy All Natural BBQ Steak Rub. Rubbed the Seasoning on all sides of the Roast and let it sit for 10 minutes.
As the Roast sat I got the Crock Pot ready. I lined the Crock Pot with a Crock Pot Liner. Then sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and then added a 1/3 of a cup of Water. I then turned the Crock Pot on low to heat up. After 10 minutes I added the Roast to the Crock Pot. That’s when I added the Jack Daniel’s Honey Smokehouse BBQ Sauce. I added about a 1/2 bottle of it across the top of the Roast. Cover and cooked on low for 7 hours. Always check the temperature of the roast before removing. An instant-read thermometer should register at least 145 F. If overcooked, the pork can become dry and could be difficult to slice or shred.
At the end of 7 hours the Roast was ready. Just by opening the lid I could tell right away this was going to be a good one! Removed it from the Crock Pot and it was already falling apart, very good sign. I started shredding it and it was just falling apart. The Roast was so tender and flavorful! This turned out to be the best Roast I think I have ever prepared. Mom agreed, she loved it! I served it on Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Hamburger Buns. We topped it with a bit more BBQ Sauce. One DELICIOUS Sandwich!
I made a couple of sides Roasted Butternut Squash and Allens Cut Italian Green Beans. For the Butternut Squash; I purchased 1 small package of Diced Butternut Squash at Kroger. They sell packages of it that they dice up. This is a lot easier than peeling and seeding one yourself, especially if you don’t have a good knife to cut it. I’ll need; 1 package of Diced Butternut Squash, Crumbled Bacon Bits, 1 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick Grinder Sea Salt, and 1 teaspoon McCormick Grinder Peppercorn Medley.
To prepare it; Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the Squash on a sheet pan and drizzle with the Olive Oil, Salt, and Peppercorn and toss well. Arrange the squash in one layer and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the Squash is tender, turning once with a spatula. And done, very easy to prepare. With the small amount of Seasoning and Olive Oil, it really brings out the flavor of Butternut Squash.
Next I heated a can of Allens Cut Italian Green Beans. To prepare them just empty the can into a small sauce pan and simmer until heated. I love the taste of these, just season with a bit of Sea Salt and it’s ready! I could have Beans of any kind every day and never get tired of having them. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free dark Chocolate Pudding.
Jack Daniel’s® Honey Smokehouse™
Known for its attention to detail and unrelenting quality, Jack Daniel’s® slow cooks its Honey Smokehouse™ Barbecue Sauce using a blend of real honey and spices to ensure the perfect balance of sweet smokey flavor for all your grilling and baking occasions. Brush on meat during last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking for delicious flavor.
Bacon Double Cheddar Chicken Sandwich w/ Tater Tots

Today’s Menu: Bacon Double Cheddar Chicken Sandwich w/ Tater Tots
For Breakfast I had a bowl of Cherrio’s along with a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After Breakfast I headed to the local Kroger up the road. Needed a few things for tonight’s Dinner. Usually when I go early to Kroger there’s hardly anyone there. But not today, I forgot it was Valentine’s Day! I was luck to find a handicap parking space, someone happened to be pulling out and they left their electric cart ou also. Kroger made a fortune on Cars, Flowers, and Candy sales! I got what I needed and headed back home. I’m glad I did go early though as it started pouring the rain as I got back home. Not much else going on today. I did put a Pork Loin Roast in the Crock Pot and let it cook on low for 7 hours for tomorrow’s Dinner. For my Dinner tonight I prepared a Bacon Double Cheddar Chicken Sandwich w/ Tater Tots.
I purchased a package of Tyson Thin Cut Boneless Chicken Breasts at Kroger. I’ll also need the following to make the Dish; al fresco Uncured Chicken Bacon, Boar’s Head Deli Sliced Yellow Cheddar and White Cheddar Cheese, Jack Daniel’s Honey Smokehouse BBQ Sauce, Lettuce, and Aunt Millie’s Whole Grain Mini Sub Buns.
I first fried the al fresco Uncured Chicken Bacon. I started by grabbing a skillet and spraying it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and heating it on medium heat. This Bacon fries up perfect with an excellent taste. I buy it at Meijer, it’s the only store I’ve found to carry it. I need to 2 slices but fried up 5 slices. Always remember when frying Bacon use Bacon Math. Just decide how many slices you’ll need and double it or so. Because, at least when I fry Bacon, you end up eating as much as you fix as you’re preparing it!
Next I fried the Thin Cut Chicken Breasts. I’m using the Tyson Thin Cut Boneless Chicken Breasts. I got a large skillet that I sprayed with pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and added a tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. I then 
heated the skillet on medium heat. I seasoned the Chicken with Morton’s Lite Salt and Ground Pepper. Then rolled the Chicken in seasoned Flour. I had seasoned the Flour with Ground Smoked Paprika. With the skillet heated I added the Chicken. I fried it 2 minutes and flipped it over and cooked it another 2 minutes and flipped it back again. Cooked it until the Chicken had an internal temperature of 165°. Cooked it a total of 15 minutes. With about 1 minute or so of cooking time left I topped the Chicken Breasts with a slice of Yellow and slice of White Cheddar Cheese. The Chicken came out perfect. Nice browning on the outside moist and juicy inside, and the Cheese melted beautifully!
As my Chicken was cooking I preheated the oven on 425° to bake some Tater Tots.I used Ore Ida Golden Tater Tots. Just bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes and done! The Tater Tots come out golden brown and delicious! I served them with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup.
As the Tater Tots were finishing up I made my Sandwich. I got the Mini Sub Buns and took the bottom half and put Lettuce down, added the Chicken Breast, topped that with the Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce, the Bacon, and the top half of the Sub Bun. Quite a sandwich! I’ll have to start having this more often! With the Tater Tots it came out one delicious Dinner! For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple.
Boar’s Head Vermont Cheddar Cheese
Crafted in the Green Mountain state with whole milk sourced from regional family dairy farms, this classic cheese has a mild flavor and creamy texture. Vermont Cheddar skewered with seedless grapes and Boar’s Head Ovengold Turkey makes an elegant kabob-style appetizer.

Today’s Menu: Pulled Chicken BBQ Sandwich w/ Baked Fries
For Breakfast this morning I made some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Heated up some Meijer Diced Ham, fried an Egg Sunnyside Up, made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I made a bed of the Hashbrowns in a bow and sprinkled some Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns then put the Sunnyside Up Egg on to top it off. Love this Breakfast! It’s bitter cold this morning! It’s 4 degrees and the wind makes it feel like minus 8 degrees.Plus the high was only 18 degrees. Bitter Cold! It looks as though this weather is going to stick around for at least a week so we might as well adjust to it. Around noon I ventured out and went to the local Kroger up the road from us. Mom needed a few things so I went for her. That was it for being outside today! For Dinner tonight I prepared a Pulled Chicken BBQ Sandwich w/ Baked Fries.
While at Kroger earlier today I purchased a Simple Truth Rotisserie Chicken at the Deli. I love these Birds, there is so much meat on them and seasoned just right. So anyway I pulled all the Chicken Meat from it and cut off the Chicken Legs and Wings for Mom and Dad.
To make the Sandwich I took some of the Pulled Chicken and heated it up in a skillet on medium high heat. Next I grabbed a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Hamburger Bun and the bottle of Jack Daniel’s Honey Smokehouse BBQ Sauce. Piled my Chicken on the Bun and topped it with the BBQ Sauce. Easily made and delicious! The Jack Daniel’s Honey Smokehouse BBQ Sauce is perfect with Chicken. Just gives it an incredible flavor!
To go with my Sandwich I baked some Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
Rotisserie Chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a chicken dish that is cooked on a rotisserie, using direct heat in which the chicken is placed next to the heat source. Electric- or gas-powered heating elements may be used, which use adjustable infrared heat. These types of rotisseries have proven quite functional for cooking rotisserie-style chicken.
Leftover rotisserie chicken may be used in a variety of dishes, such as soup, chicken salad and sandwiches. (Wiki)
