Today’s Menu: 6 oz. Buffalo Sirloin Steak w/ Baked Beans and Baked Potato

I had a Breakfast Sandwich to start the day. I baked a small can of Pillsbury Buttery Biscuits and prepared some Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties. These 2 make the perfect Breakfast Sandwich! 46 degrees and sunny outside. After Breakfast I did a load of laundry. Then I gave Mom a hand in filling out all the paper work for upcoming surgery in January to remove the 2 Skin Cancer (Basal Skin Cancer) spots. Not a lot going on today. For Dinner tonight I prepared a couple of 6 oz. Buffalo Sirloin Steak w/ Baked Beans and Baked Potatoes.

I had a couple of Wild Idea Buffalo 6 oz. Sirloin Steaks in the freezer and I set them in the fridge overnight to thaw. I love these Wild Idea Buffalo Steaks, always lean and so delicious! I first heated the oven to 400 degrees. To prepare it I rubbed the Steak with a teaspoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Then seasoned it with Dried Rosemary and McCormick’s Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. As the Steak rested I preheat a Cast Iron Skillet, that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray, on medium heat. When the skillet was heated I added my Buffalo Sirloins, I cooked them 2 minutes per side and finished them in the oven to a beautiful Medium Rare! The Wild Idea Buffalo Steaks are just incredible. So juicy and tender. I prepared some Sauteed Mushrooms to go with the Steak.

I prepared a can of Bush’s Country Style Baked Beans. Just open the can and empty the Beans Into Saucepan. Heat To Simmer until heated through. Love these Bush’s Beans!

I also had a baked Russet Potato for a side with Steak. Seasoned that with the McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and topped with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. I also had an Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Dinner Roll, love these Rolls! Then for Dessert/Snack later 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Pretzels with a Coke Zero to drink.

Today’s Menu: Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans

For Breakfast I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 27 degrees this morning, a bit nippy out there! After my Tea I warmed the car up for a bit and then headed off to Meijer. Wow grocery items just keep going up and up in price! From what they say it’s going to get worse! Gas this morning is up to $3.35 a gallon and across town it’s $3.59 a gallon! We’ll have to make sure every trip counts. I stopped on the way home and picked up Breakfast at McDonald’s for Mom. Back home I had to get the rake and leaf blower out, we overrun with leaves. For Dinner it’s Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans. Enjoy and Take Care!

We love our Turkey Tacos, great Comfort food for us! When making Turkey Tacos I always use Jennie -O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast! Love all the Jennie -O Turkey Products, always fresh and low calorie and low carb. But Jennie -O Products are difficult to find in this area. Meijer is the only place that now carries it, and they have an okay selection of it. So I started by frying the Ground Turkey till it was no longer pink in Extra Light Olive Oil and seasoning it with Sea Salt, Ground Roasted Cumin, and Cilantro Flakes. As the Turkey was finishing cooking I added, 1 can OF Bush’s Chili Beans – Black Beans, 1 package of Old El Paso Low Sodium Taco Seasoning and 2/3 cup Water, continued to cook and stir for an additional 6 minutes. Jennie -O, Bush’s Beans, and Old El Paso together make one fine Taco!

For the rest of my toppings I used; Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican, Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green Olives, Ortega Smoky Chipotle Taco Sauce, Sliced Jalapenos, and Shredded Lettuce. For my Taco Shells I used the Old El Paso Stand N’ Stuff Taco Shells (Whole Grain Corn). Add the Jennie – O Turkey and you got you some mouth watering and delicious Tacos! Love these Taco Nights. I also heated up a can of Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans for a side for Mom. The Tacos hit the spot! For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Cherry Jello.

Today’s Menu: Boneless Pork Ribeye Chop w/ Red Beans and Mashed Potatoes

For Breakfast I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Sunny and 82 degrees outside today. We are being spoiled with all this perfect weather of late! After my Tea I went to Lowe’s to look for a few things, nothing found though. Back home I got the cart out and rode around the neighborhood, enjoying the beautiful day. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Boneless Pork Ribeye Chop w/ Red Beans and Mashed Potatoes.

I had a package of the AdapTable Chophouse Seasoned Boneless Pork Ribeye Chops in the freezer, sat it in the fridge overnight to thaw. The Chops comes Seasoned with Garlic, Onion and Bell Pepper. I’m so happy that Meijer started carrying these AdapTable Pork Products!

I’ll be preparing them on the stove in a Cast Iron Skillet. To prepare them I heated one tablespoon of oil in a skillet on medium-high. Cooked the Chops in a covered skillet for 8-9 minutes per side until product reaches 145°F on a meat thermometer. Removed them from heat, and let them rest for 3 minutes. And serve!

For one side I prepared a can of Bush’s Chili Beans – Red Beans in Medium Chili Sauce. Easy to prepare; Just open the can and empty it into a small sauce pan. Heat to low boil then reduce the heat and simmer until heated through. And done!

For another side I prepared some Bob Evan’s Mashed Potatoes. Just microwave for 6 minutes and serve, just as good as homemade, if not better. Being a Potato Lover I think Potatoes are meant for every meal! I also had a Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Dinner Roll, love these fresh and 1 carb! For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Smart Pop – Popcorn with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.

3 Bean Turkey Chili w/ Cornbread

Today’s Menu: 3 Bean Turkey Chili w/ Cornbread

To start this morning off I toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Wheat Bread and topped with them I can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. We have a high of 66 degrees with light rain showers on and off all day. Did a load of laundry and cleaned the house today, dusted and ran the vacuum. What a better way than Chili to Celebrate the Autumn Season! For Dinner tonight it’s my 3 Bean Turkey Chili w/ Cornbread.

I love making a batch of my 3 Bean Turkey Chili! To make my Chili I’m using Jennie -O Lean Ground Turkey, 2 – 1lb. packages. The 3 Beans I use are 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans (Black Beans), 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans ( Kidney Beans), 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans (Great Northern Beans) drained and rinsed, a tablespoon of Jif Creamy Peanut Butter, 1 Red Onion (medium Chopped or Minced), 1 Jalapeno Pepper (Seeded and Chopped), and 3 Cloves Minced Garlic. For my spices I use 1 Packet McCormick Chili Mix, 2 Cans (6 oz.) Hunt’s Tomato Paste (2 cans),4 Cloves Minced Garlic, 2 tsp Ground Anchio Chile Pepper, 2 tsp Ground Paprika, 1 Tbs. Ground Chile Seasoning, 2 Tbs. Ground Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon, 1 Tbsp of Cilantro Leaves and 5 Dashes of Frank’s Hot Sauce or to taste (I usually add a lot more dashes!). What’s good about this recipe you can use your own favorite Spices and make your own tweaks to it.

First thing I do is get the Crock Pot out and put in a Glad Crock Pot Liner. The Liners are incredible, just line your Crock Pot with one and spray it with Pam Cooking Spray. Now you are set to go. It makes for one easy clean up, just remove it when done and give the inside of your Crock Pot a quick wipe down and your clean up is done! On with the recipe.

I prepared the Ground Turkey and Bean Mix last night and had it in the fridge. To prepare the Turkey, I started by browning the Jennie -O Ground Turkey. Using a large skillet sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Preheat the skillet on medium heat. When heated I add the Ground Turkey and all the Seasonings and Tomato Paste, stirring often. When the Turkey has browned I put it aside and mixed my Beans. I opened all 3 cans of Bush Beans into a large bowl and stirred until mixed.

This morning I turned the Slow Cooker on Low, sprayed the cooker liner with Pam Non Stick Spray, and added a 1/2 cup of Water to it. Let heat for about 20 minutes and I added everything to the Crock Pot. I’ll be cooking my Chili for 6 – 7 hours. Then sit back and enjoy the aroma, that usually starts after a couple of hours or so of simmering! I love a thick Chili and this one works! The Jennie – O Ground Turkey combined with all those Beans and Spices is a perfect match. Served it topped with some Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese and a couple of shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I’ll be using the Leftover Chili in a couple of different ways for meals , can’t wait! Chili is even better after sitting in the fridge for a day! The full recipe and list of ingredients is at the end of the post.

I also prepared a small Cast Iron Skillet of Cornbread. For the Corn Bread I’m using Martha White White Corn Meal. The Cornbread goes perfect with Chili! Then for Dessert/Snack later some Reduced Fat Triscuits topped with Philadelphia Light Cream Cheese with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.

To start the day off I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. We had a high of 71 degrees with rain showers in the morning and heavy rain moving in overnight. This morning I took Mom to Jungle Jim’s International Market. She wanted to get some Half- Runner Green Beans, Peppers, and some Apples. I picked up a few other items. I love that store!

Dirty Rice and Ground Turkey w/ Baked French Bread

Toady’s Menu: Dirty Rice and Ground Turkey w/ Baked French Bread

For Breakfast I prepared 3 slices of Bacon, a Sunny Side Up Egg, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Wheat Bread, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I’m ready to face the day, I think! Started a load of laundry after Breakfast. Then it was outside. I watered my Pepper Plants and my Tomato Plants. Now that the weather has stayed hot my Plants are getting loaded with Peppers and Tomatoes. Got the leaf blower out and cleaned off the driveway area. Well hopefully the Cicadas are dying out, not nearly as many so far today! Before heading in, the garbage trucks ran this morning and went around and got 8 of them and moved them up to their house for them. Inside finished up the laundry. Then I dug out some large Plastic Tubs out of the shed. Cleaned them up and used them to pack stuff out of the spare room. I’m getting it straightened up for when they install the new flooring later in July. For Dinner tonight I prepared Dirty Rice and Ground Turkey w/ Baked French Bread.

For the Dirty Rice I used a box of Zatarain’s Dirty Rice. The Mix includes a Long Grain Rice Mix with Vegetables and Spices. I added the Ground Turkey Sausage and 1 can of Bush’s Chili Black Beans. I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread Loaf.

I first got a skillet and cooked the the Jennie – O Lean Ground Turkey. To prepare the Turkey, I started by browning the Jennie -O Ground Turkey. Using a large skillet sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Preheat the skillet on medium heat. Seasoned the Turkey with Sea Salt, Ground Pepper, Ground Cumin and Dried Cilantro. About half way through I added a can of Drained Bush’s Chili Beans – Black Beans. Stirred until well mixed and continued cooking until the Turkey was almost done. I didn’t want to over cook the Turkey or Beans because I was going to add them to the Dirty Rice as it was cooking.

As the Ground Turkey was cooking I grabbed another skillet and prepared the Dirty Rice. Stirred in 2 1/2 cups of Water and the Rice Mix into the saucepan until it was well blended. Brought it to a boil. Reduced the heat to low and covered. Simmered for 25 minutes until the Rice was tender. With about 5 minutes of cooking time left I added the Turkey and Black Bean Mix. I stirred that in until it was well mixed and finished out the cooking time.

I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Loaf Bread. Very Good Meal tonight! The Jennie – O Ground Turkey and Black Beans worked perfect with the Zatarain’s Dirty Rice! Excellent Meal tonight. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.

Today’s Menu: Leftovers, Leftover – 3 Bean Turkey Chili

To start my day off I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Wheat Bread, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Another hot and humid day that’s filled with swarming Cicadas. 93 degrees and partly cloudy outside. Got some yard work done early before the heat and humidity set in and the Cicadas weren’t too bad. Later did laundry and cleaned the house. So for Dinner tonight I got the last container of the leftover 3 Bean Turkey Chili out of the freezer the night before and tonight I’m using Leftovers, Leftover for Dinner. I just can’t let this go to waste! I’ve left one of the original posts for the Chili below for Ingredients and Directions. Take Care and Stay Safe Everyone!

To make my Chili I’m using Jennie -O Lean Ground Turkey. The 3 Beans I use are 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans (Black Beans), 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans ( Kidney Beans), 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans (Great Northern Beans) drained and rinsed, Then I mix in 1 Red Onion (medium Chopped or Minced), 1 Jalapeno Pepper (Seeded and Chopped), and 3 Cloves Minced Garlic. For my spices I use 1 Packet McCormick Chili Mix, 2 Cans (6 oz.) Hunt’s Tomato Paste (2 cans), 1/2 Tsp Ground Cocoa Chili Blend (McCormick), 1/2 Tsp Ground Chipotle Chili Pepper (McCormick), 2 Tbs. Ground Roasted Cumin (McCormick), 2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon (McCormick), 1 Tbs of Cilantro Leaves (McCormick), and 5 Dashes of Frank’s Hot Sauce or to taste (I usually add a lot more dashes!). What’s good about this recipe you can use your own favorite Spices and make your own tweaks to it.

First thing I do is get the Crock Pot out and put in a Glad Crock Pot Liner. The Liners are incredible, just line your Crock Pot with one and spray it with Pam Cooking Spray. Now you are set to go. It makes for one easy clean up, just remove it when done and give the inside of your Crock Pot a quick wipe down and your clean up is done! On with the recipe.

I prepared the Beans and Ground Turkey last night. To prepare the Turkey, I started by browning the Jennie -O Ground Turkey. Using a large skillet sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Preheat the skillet on medium heat. When heated I add the Ground Turkey and all the Seasonings and Tomato Paste, stirring often. When the Turkey has browned I put it in a large plastic container and on into the fridge after it had cooled a bit. Next I opened all 3 cans of Bush Beans into a large bowl and stirred until mixed. Stored them in a bowl and in the fridge also.

Then this morning I added everything to the Crock Pot. I also added a 1/2 cup of Water, stirred twice, and put the lid on the Crock Pot and set on low for 5-6 hours. The full recipe and list of ingredients is at the end of the post. Then sit back and enjoy the aroma, that usually starts after an hour or so of simmering! I love a thick Chili and this one works! The Jennie – O Ground Turkey combined with all those Beans and Spices is a perfect match. Served it topped with some Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese and a couple of shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce.

I just love the aroma of the simmering Chili, that usually starts after a couple of hours or so of simmering! I love a thick Chili and this one works! The Jennie – O Ground Turkey combined with all those Beans and Spices is a perfect match. Served it topped with some Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese and a couple of shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I’ll be using the Leftover Chili in a couple of different ways for the couple of days, can’t wait! Chili is even better after sitting in the fridge for a day!

Today’s Menu: Leftover – 3 Bean Turkey Chili w/ Johnny Cakes

For Breakfast this morning I had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Sunny and 88 degrees out, a bit humid also. So after my early morning Tea I headed to Kroger, just up the road, to pick up a few items. I went early to avoid the crowd but by the time I left it was already getting there, I left at 8:05 from the store. All they had was the self check-outs. They didn’t have enough people to open a register! We have different restaurants closed or at open for a few hours a day due to lack of people to work! Anyway the Cicadas are worse than I have ever seen in the area! We have been invaded! So for Dinner tonight I got the last container of the leftover 3 Bean Turkey Chili out of the freezer and heated that up. So it’s 3 Bean Turkey Chili w/ Johnny Cakes. I’ve left a previous post for the ingredients and directions. I’ll be making a new Batch of Chili soon! I also made some Johnny Cakes to go with the Chili Take Care All and Stay Safe!

To make my Chili I’m using Jennie -O Lean Ground Turkey. The 3 Beans I use are 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans (Black Beans), 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans ( Kidney Beans), 1 Can (16 oz.)

To prepare Johnny Cakes all you’ll need is: Pam w/ Olive Oil Non – Stick Spray, 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 3/4 cups Low Fat Buttermilk, and 2 cups Martha White Self Rising Enriched White Corn Meal Mix. Just mix all your 3 Bean Turkey Chili w Johnny Cakes 004ingredients in a large bowl. Spray your Pam on a Flat Top Griddle or large Skillet and preheat on medium low, I use the Flat Top Griddle. When the Griddle is heated add your batter. You can make the Cakes any size you want from half-dollar size to regular pancake size cakes. After the bottom side turns golden brown flip over and let the other side get golden brown. To serve I placed mine on a plate and topped it with my 3 Bean Chili and Shredded Cheese. And now it’s Comfort Food Heaven! Chili and Cornbread are meant to be together!
