Mostly sunny and 55 degrees out, and of course its windy! Did a couple of loads of laundry after Lunch. Then cleaned the house. For Dinner tonight its Turkey Brat Dogs and Beans.

To prepare it; I first started by preparing the Turkey Bratwursts. I used Johnsonville Turkey Bratwursts. I bought these from Meijer, which carries the the full line of Johnsonville Products, I had them in the freezer and laid a package of them in the fridge to thaw overnight. I prepared them in a 3-quart saucepan. Sprayed the skillet with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and added a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Cooked them for about 21 minutes until cooked through. They browned up perfect, one good tasting Brat! I served it on a Healthy Life Wheat Hot Dog Bun, topping it with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard.

Today’s Menu: Grilled Turkey Bratwursts and Baked Fries

For Breakfast I toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin and topped it with Smucker’s Sugarless Blackberry Jam. Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 85 degrees, humid, and a chance of a shower. Same weather for the next week or so. Got the cart and leaf blower out of the shed to do some yard work. Sprayed for weeds then cleaned off the deck and driveway areas. The sun is too hot and too humid to stay out any long periods. Took a spin around the neighborhood and went down by the lake for a bit. For Dinner tonight I prepared Grilled Turkey Bratwursts and Baked Fries.

Tried a new Brat I came across at Meijer the other day, Johnsonville Fresh Turkey Premium Original Bratwurst. They looked delicious so I thought I would give them a try. They are natural meat color instead of the usual white colored Brats.

I went out and started the grill. Back inside I got the Bratwursts out of the fridge and sprayed them with Pam Non Stick Spray. With the grill ready I added the Brats and shut the lid of the grill. Grilled them for about 21 minutes, turning links often.

The Brats came out incredible! These are excellent Brats. Grilled up great, great tasting, and stayed firm after cooking. All good traits of Bratwursts. I’ll purchase more of these soon! Served them on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Hot Dog Bun and topped them with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard.

To go with my Brats I prepared some Ore Ida Golden Crinkle Cut French Fries for us. Like all the Ore Ida Products, they are easy to prepare and delicious. I just baked them for 19 minutes and done! Served them with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Mango Snapple to drink.

Today’s Menu: Bluegrass Lean Bratwurst w/ Baked Ruffle’s Potato Chips

So to start my morning off I Scrambled some Egg Beater’s Egg Whites, seasoned with Sea Salt and Ground Pepper. Next I fried 2 Jennie – O Turkey Breakfast sausage Links and toasted 2 slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread, lightly buttered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. After Breakfast I headed up to the assisted living center to see my friend, still not much change in him yet. On the way back home stopped by Kroger for a few items and then stopped by the bank before heading back home. Not a lot to do today, I was caught up on everything. So I got the cart out drove around the neighborhood and then down by the lake for a while. Mostly sunny and near a record high for this date, 86 degrees! I don’t think I have ever seen so many Squirrels. All of them were running back and forth between all the Oak Trees we have in the neighborhood gathering Acorns. For Dinner tonight I prepared some Bluegrass Lean Bratwurst with a side of Baked Ruffle’s Potato Chips.

I used Blue Grass Lean Bratwurst which are 100 calories and 4 carbs per Brat. To prepare them; Just add the Brats to a large skillet and add water, until the Brats are half way covered. Bring them to a brisk boil but then immediately turn down the heat to a very low boil, more of a simmer than an active boil. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, then finish off in a pan with just the Brats and a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil to get a nice crispy char and finish. Love this method, if you can’t grill them. Delicious, plump, and they cook up great! Served it on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Fat Whole Grain Hot Dog Bun topped with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard. I also had some Baked Ruffle’s Potato Chips. Then for dessert later a Weight Watcher’s Divine Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Bar. Love these, only 80 calories and 12 net carbs per bar!

Today’s Menu: Bluegrass Lean Bratwurst w/ Baked Potato Puffs

For Breakfast it was a couple of Jennie – O Turkey Breakfast Sausage links and a toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin. Along with my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea, I was set to start my day. After Breakfast I headed up to the local Kroger, I needed a few items and Mom needed a couple of things. Back home got everything put away and did some light cleaning. I spent the afternoon yesterday over seeing Dad at the rehab center. He’s finally getting stronger and walking with a walker on his own. He’ll be home Tuesday! So anyway I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep last night, Phantom Pains started a little after midnight. Hate dealing with those, so painful and aggravating! For dinner tonight I prepared a Bluegrass Lean Bratwurst w/ Baked Potato Puffs.

While digging in the freezer I found a couple of packages of Bluegrass Deliciously Lean Bratwurst. These are so hard to find in this area, I had to write Blue Grass Meats last year because no local stores had any of them in stock. Finally Kroger started to carry them for a while so I had bought a couple of packages of them and forgot I had them, until yesterday!

Love the Blue Grass Lean Bratwurst which are 100 calories and 4 carbs per Brat. To prepare them; Just add the Brats to a large skillet and add water, until the Brats are half way covered. Bring them to a brisk boil but then immediately turn down the heat to a very low boil, more of a simmer than an active boil. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, then finish off in a pan with just the Brats and a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil to get a nice crispy char and finish. Love this method, if you can’t grill them. Delicious, plump, and they cook up great! Served it on a Kroger Lite Wheat Bun topped with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard.

Then for a side dish I prepared something new, Alexia Potato Puffs. To prepare them; Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the frozen potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil. Baked for 25, stirring halfway through the cooking time. And Bam got another Keeper Potato Product! Browned up perfect with excellent seasoning. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Bluegrass Lean Bratwurst w/ Potato Pancakes

Our warmest day in quite sometime around here, 70 degrees and sunny! Started the day off with a Poached Egg on a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, and my usual cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Got some things done inside and then got the 4 wheel cart out for most of the afternoon, good to get out in beautiful weather! For dinner tonight it’s Bluegrass Lean Bratwurst w/ Potato Pancakes.

I used Blue Grass Lean Bratwurst which are 100 calories and 4 carbs per Brat. To prepare them; Just add the Brats to a large skillet and add water, until the Brats are covered.

Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, then finish off in a pan with just the Brats and a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil to get a nice crispy char and finish. Love this method, if you can’t grill them. Delicious and they cook up great! Served them all on Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Hot Dog Buns and topped with Private Selection Sweet Hot Stone Ground Mustard.

For a side I prepared some Manischewitz Potato Pancake Mix, my favorite (Never made a cake I didn’t like!). Just add 2 Egg Beater’s (1/2 Cup), 2 1/4 Cups Water, to the mix stir and fry! Easy and makes one good Potato Pancake and their only 80 calories and 18 carbs per serving (3 Potato Pancakes). For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

It begins with a parade on Friday evening that starts at Arnold’s Bar & Grill, Cincinnati’s oldest saloon. The parade is lead by a goat pulling a keg of bock beer and the reigning Sausage Queen. It ends at Bockfest Hall where the ceremonial first keg is blessed, the best Parade entries are honored, and Bockfest officially begins. The Hall is open throughout the weekend and features live entertainment, great food, historic walking tours, authors and breweriana, a homebrew competition, Continental Sunday celebrations and lots of delicious bock beer. Bockfest is not just limited to the Hall. It occurs in a number of participating venues in Over-the-Rhine and the central business district. There is no admission fee for the hall and typically no admission fee for the participating venues. (If a venue charges a fee, it will be indicated on the event schedule.) A free shuttle bus runs a continuous loop around location, including Garfield Suites which is offering a special Bockfest Rate for festival goers.

Brat Burgers?? That’s what I wondered when I ran across these at Walmart earlier today. I’m glad I did these Burgers are great! They come frozen, 6 to a box. These are big burgers, 1/3 lb. burgers! one is definitely a meal. A little high on calories at 350 and fat at 28g but the carbs are only 3g. You can grill them, broil them, or pan fry them which is the way I prepared them. Their ready in 15 – 18 minutes or until an internal temperature of 160 degrees, it was about 16 minutes. We topped them sliced Gouda or Sargento’s Reduced Fat Jack/Cheddar, French’s Golden Spicy Mustard, and Lettuce and served on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. Thank you Johnsonville, I love these! I left a recipe from the Johnsonville web site along with the link. For a side I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. Dessert later a Smart Ones Chocolate Brownie Fudge Sundae. These are very good and only 140 calories!
