Today’s Menu: Lemon-Parsley Baked Pacific Cod w/ Long Grain and Wild Rice and Sliced Carrots
To start my day off I prepared a fried Sunny Side Up Egg, sliced Turkey Spam, prepared some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for
Breakfast. Love that Turkey Spam and it’s only 80 calories per serving! After my shower I did a load of laundry. Later I ran the vacuum and then cleaned the microwave and kitchen counters. Done for the day and watched some College Basketball. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Lemon-Parsley Baked Pacific Cod w/ Long Grain and Wild Rice and Sliced Carrots.
I had this last month and it sounded good for Dinner tonight. I had ordered the Pacific Cod from Kroger a while back and had the fillets in the freezer. I laid the Cod in the freezer
to thaw overnight. So for dinner tonight I prepared a Lemon Baked Pacific Cod. I’ll need the following; 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons butter (melted), 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning, 3 Pacific Cod fillets, 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, and 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel.
To prepare the Cod I first preheated oven to 400°. In a shallow bowl, mixed lemon juice and butter. In a separate shallow bowl, mixed flour and seasonings. Dip fillets the in lemon
juice mixture, then in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Placed the fillets in a 13×9-in. baking dish coated with Pam Cooking Spray. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice mixture. Baked 12 minutes and the fish just began to flake easily with a fork. Mix parsley and lemon peel; sprinkle over fish. The Cod came out so flavorful! The Lemon is perfect with Cod.
For one side dish I prepared some Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice – Long Grain and Wild Rice. It comes in a microwavable Pouch. Just heat the pouch in the microwave and serve. Love
Rice! Then I also heated up a small can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots. One Delicious Dinner, love that Pacific Cod! For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Pretzels with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.

Today’s Menu: Cumin Spiced Pork Chops w/ Spaetzle and Boiled Baby Carrots
For Breakfast I toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin that I topped with Smucker’s Sugar Free Blackberry Jam. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Mostly Sunny and 37
degrees outside today. Another night of fighting Phantom Pains, and they were very painful! They started about 2:00 this morning and continued to about 10:00 this morning. So I spent most of the day in bed resting. These really drain me when they are this bad! For Dinner tonight I prepared a Cumin Spiced Pork Chops w/ Spaetzle and Boiled Baby Carrots.
I had picked some Pork Chops a while back at Meijer. Had them in the freezer so I grabbed the Chops from the freezer last night and let them thaw overnight in the fridge. Then to prepare my
Chops I’ll need; The Cumin Spiced Rub which consists of 1 tbsp Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian Paprika, 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. To prepare it preheat oven to 400°. Combine all the ingredients; rub it all over the pork chop. Let stand 20 minutes. Start by heating the Extra Virgin Olive oil in a Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add Chops to pan; cook 3 minutes, browning both sides. From the stove to the oven and bake at 400° for 15 minutes until the thermometer registered 160°, turning after 5 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Fantastic combo of Spices, which makes one incredible tasty Crust on the Chop with the inside being tender and moist! Love this seasoning on the Pork!
For a side I prepared some Maggi Spaetzle (Authentic German Dumplings). I love these but had trouble finding any for a long time. I finally found some on Walmart’s website. To prepare them I 
followed the package cooking instructions; brought 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Stirred in the Spaetzle; boiled uncovered, for about 27 minutes (until tender). Drained it and set aside. Then melted 2 tablespoons of Blue Bonnet Light Butter over medium heat. Added 2 tablespoons of Dried Rubbed Sage and 1 Clove Minced Garlic. Added that to the finished Spaetzle and stirred until well mixed. Seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Pepper and served. Comes out so flavorful and Dumplings are so tender. Makes one excellent side dish.
Then I also prepared a package of Whole Baby Carrots. To prepare them I used a small sauce pan and filled it with water. Brought the water to a boil and added the Carrots. Boil until fork tender. 
One excellent Dinner! For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
Maggi: Authentic German Dumplings
You and maggi make great meals. Enjoy maggi spaetzle as a satisfying main course or as a delicious side dish To accompany your favorite meal. Tastes great with chicken or beef.

Pot Roast, Carrots, Red Potatoes, and Cornbread

Today’s Menu: Pot Roast, Carrots, Red Potatoes, and Cornbread
Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. Cloudy, light rain, and 49 degrees outside again. Our 3rd day in a row of this weather. The only good thing is with all the rain and wind of late 
the large tree across the street has finally lost all its leaves. Nothing going on outside so I did a few chores around the house. I measured one of the cabinets and I’m thinking about installing a Lazy Susan. I had to have Mom at her Family Doctor for a checkup and then I had to to Kroger and pick up a prescription for her. So for Dinner tonight I prepared a Pot Roast along with Carrots, Red Potatoes, and Cornbread.
I purchased the Pot roast from Omaha Steaks and had it in the freezer. So I sat it in the fridge and let it thaw overnight. It’s fully cooked so you are just warming it up. To prepare it I preheat the
oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the roast and juice from package and placed in covered pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes. Wow, what a beautiful looking Roast!
It sliced up so tender with plenty of juices and seasoned perfectly! And the taste is spot on, just an excellent Roast, thank you Omaha Steaks!
To go with the Roast chopped up some Carrots that I had purchased from Meijer. I first washed the Carrots off in cold water. I then grabbed a large size sauce pan and filled it with water. Added 
Salt to the water and heated it on high. When the water came to a boil I added the sliced Carrots. I cooked them until fork tender. Drained the water and put the cooked Carrots in a bowl. Seasoned with a bit more Salt and they were ready.
I also prepared some Red Potatoes. I quartered and seasoned the Red Potatoes with Dill, Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and Garlic Powder. I used a Cast Iron Skillet that I heated up on medium 
and added a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I added the Red Potatoes and fried them for about 7 minutes and then put them in the oven, that was already at 400 degrees, and roasted them for about another 20 minutes until they were fork tender. Excellent way to prepare Red Potatoes!
Finally 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 anything! Then for Dessert later a Jello 
Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.
Omaha Steaks -Fully Cooked Pot Roast

Today’s Menu: Bison Chopped Steak and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Slow Roasted Potatoes and Carrots
For Breakfast this morning I prepared an Egg Beater’s Egg White folded Egg, lightly fried up 4 slices of thin cut Boar’s Head Sweet Slice Ham, got a slice of Sargento Ultra thin Swiss Cheese, and 
toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin. And I had my Breakfast Sandwich, Egg White, Ham, and Swiss Cheese on English Muffin! Also had that morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Mostly cloudy with a passing shower, 82 degrees outside today. I had to go to Kroger for a couple of items then stopped by McDonald’s and picked up Breakfast for Mom. Back home after Lunch I got the cart out and did a few things around the yard. Then took the cart around the neighborhood. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Bison Chopped Steak and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Slow Roasted Potatoes and Carrots.
For Dinner tonight it’s one of my favorites, SayersBrook Ranch Bison Chopped Sirloin Steak. I love this Chopped Steak. To start I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. To prepare it I’ll need 
McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, McCormick Crushed Rosemary, and McCormick Thyme Leaves (all seasoning to taste). I got the Cast Iron Skillet out to prepare it. I first sprayed it with a very light coat of Pam Cooking Spray and then added a tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Heated it on medium heat. When the pan was heated I added the Chopped Steak. I cooked each side 2 minutes.Then finished it in the oven, at 400 degrees for 7 minutes. It cooked up beautifully, perfect medium rare! Had a nice little char on the outside and moist and juicy inside. These are so tender you could slice them with a spoon and have an excellent taste to them. Thank you SayersBrook Bison Ranch!
I topped the Chopped Steak with some A-1 Sauce Thick/Hardy. Also cooked up some Sauteed Mushrooms.
For a side I prepared some Slow Roasted Potatoes and Carrots. I came across how delicious these are by way of another Dinner. A while back I helped Mom prepare a Crock Pot Beef Stew w/ 
Potatoes and Carrots. To prepare it I used a packet of McCormick Beef Stew Mix, which gave those Potatoes and Carrots incredible flavor. So I thought why not use the Stew Mix to Slow Roast the Potatoes and Carrots as a side dish. Glad I did!
To prepare it I peeled and quartered some medium size Red Potatoes. Next I had bought a bag of Whole Carrots. I washed them off and cut the Carrots into quarters. Got out my small Dutch 
Oven. Added a 3 cups of water and mixed the packet of Stew Mix in it and turned it on. Then its Put a Lid on it and Forget it! I put them on late this morning and let them cook until it was time to eat. They turned out so delicious! Just incredible flavor. I’ll be using this as a side dish again, very soon!
I also baked a slice of New York Bakery Lite Texas Toast. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

Today’s Menu: Beef Pot Roast with Gravy w/ Roasted Carrots and Red Potatoes
Went out to grab the Morning Papers and it is COLD out there this morning. It’s 20 degrees with a wind chill in the teens, COLD! Partly sunny and 37 degrees but the wind chill kept it at below freezing most of the day. So for Breakfast I prepared one of my favorites, Hash Browns and Ham topped with an Egg and Cheese. I prepared some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, topped them with some cooked diced Ham, 1 Egg Sunnyside Up, and Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I also had a cup of my Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Did a load of laundry and cleaned the house today. Then watched some Football for the rest of the afternoon. For Dinner tonight a Beef Pot Roast with Gravy w/ Roasted Carrots and Red Potatoes.
While at Costco the other day I came across a Morton’s of Omaha Beef Pot Roast with Gravy. It sounded and look delicious so I bought a container of it. It’s precooked so all you have to do is heat it up. There’s 2 ways you can prepare it, by the microwave or by boiling the bag in water. I went with the microwave preparation. To prepare it; Remove the outer sleeve and the tray seal. Leave the reheat bag with the Beef Pot Roast in the tray. Cut 4 small holes in the top of the reheat bag for ventilation. Place the tray with the reheat bag into the microwave. Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Cut end of bag with scissors and empty into tray for serving. Very easy to prepare.
For one side I roasted some Carrots. I bought a bag of Whole Carrots from Kroger. Washed the Carrots off and then sliced them up. I grabbed a medium-sized sauce pan and filed it with water. Heated it on high bringing it to a boil. Added the sliced Carrots and boiled until almost for tender. Drained the water and set the Carrots aside. For the Potatoes I used a bag of Petite Red Gourmet Potatoes. Gave them a quick wash with water and the cut them in half. Put them in a bowl and seasoned them with McCormick Grinders of Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, Dried Parsley, and Extra Light Olive Oil. Mixed them in a bowl until seasoned. I had already preheated the oven on 425 degrees. I got a baking sheet and covered it with foil. Sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and added a 1/2 a tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. I then added the sliced Carrots and Red Potatoes to the pan. Seasoned them with Dried Rosemary and Dried Thyme then mixed them together in the pan. Put the pan in the oven and baked until fork tender.
With everything done I grabbed a large serving bowl and added the Carrots and Red Potatoes. Then I topped them with Beef Pot Roast. I saved the gravy that was with the Roast in another bowl and added that to top the Roast with when serving.This is the 1st time I tried the Morton’s of Omaha Beef Pot Roast with Gravy and it was delicious! The Beef was tender and flavorful and the Gravy was seasoned just right! The Carrots and Potatoes were perfect with the Beef Roast. Fantastic Meal! For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.

Today’s Menu: Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots
I had a Scrambled Egg and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. I had to be at the Dentist at 8:45 yesterday morning. I dread going to a Dentist more than anything but I’ve got a bad tooth and later I need more work done. I also had to go back to the family Doctor the day before and he increased my Metformin from 1 to 2 pills daily. So much stress lately he wanted me to increase for 3 months. After that we’ll do the checks again. He thinks that it’s all the stress I’ve been having for my elevated blood work. Another wait and see. For Dinner tonight I prepared Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots.
I purchased a package of North Atlantic Salmon from Meijer and had it in the freezer. To make it I’ll need the Salmon, McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, Dried Parsley, Dried Chive, and Extra Light Olive Oil.
To prepare it; I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. I then got a small baking pan and sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray. I washed the Fillet off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. Next I put a light coat of the Extra Light Olive Oil on the Fillet and then seasoned. Lined the Fillet in the pan and baked. I baked it for 8 minutes, and done. Excellent Salmon!
I really enjoy the combo of Rice or Grain and Carrots with Salmon For one side to go with the Salmon I prepared a
packet of the Minute Rice – Multi-Grain Medley.First time I’ve prepared this in a while. It has Brown Rice, Thai red Rice, Wild Rice, and Quinoa. Now that’s a good combo of Grains! The box contains 4 – 2 Serving Packets and easy to prepare. Combine water and the contents of one bag in medium saucepan and stir. Add oil if desired. Or, if desired, to add more flavor, substitute broth, fruit or vegetable juice for water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 MINUTES or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Fluff with fork and serve! Easy to prepare and makes one excellent side dish.
I also heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots. Just empty the contents into a small sauce pan , bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until heated through. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.
Atlantic Salmon
The Atlantic salmon is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae. It is found in the northern Atlantic Ocean, in rivers that flow into the north Atlantic and, due to human introduction, in the north Pacific Ocean.

Today’s Menu: Fried Rockfish Fillets w/ Long Grain and Wild Rice, Whole Baby Carrots, and Light Texas Toast
For Breakfast this rainy morning I prepared some al fresco Uncured Chicken Bacon, 1 Egg Sunnyside Up, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Outside its raining again, big shocker! We have a high of 62 degrees and heavy rain at times. Not much to do so it was house cleaning today. Dusted and vacuumed then cleaned the refrigerator. For Dinner tonight I tried a fish I had never tried before, Rockfish. Tonight its Fried Rockfish Fillets w/ Long Grain and Wild Rice, Whole Baby Carrots, and Light Texas Toast.
I was at Meijer yesterday to pick up a few items and going by the Seafood Department and noticed they had Rockfish Fillets in the display case. I had heard of Rockfish but never I had tried it, until now. Growing up there was a creek that ran across the street and we would go fishing and catch a Fish we called Rockfish. But this (Ocean) Rockfish is totally different. I was told it has a taste similar to Snapper, which I love. The Fillets cost lass than 1/2 than what you pay for Snapper. So I picked up a couple of Fillets to try it out. I’ll be cooking it in a Cast Iron Skillet and will need McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Grinder Peppercorn Medley along with Zatarain’s Seasoned Seafood Breading Mix, and Extra Light Olive Oil.
To prepare it; I first washed and cleaned the Fillets in cold water. Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel. Seasoned on both sides with the Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Then rolled the Fillets in the Zatarain’s Seasoned Fish Fri Mix.
Next heated a Cast-Iron Skillet over high heat. When the Pan is hot, added the Extra Light Olive Oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down. Press down gently on the fillets with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling. Lower heat to medium and let cook until the fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more.
The Rockfish fried up to a perfect Golden Brown. It does have a taste similar to Snapper. Really a delicious meaty version of Snapper, and costs a lot less! Really enjoyed it and will purchase more of it. Mom, who isn’t a huge Fish Lover, really liked them.
For one side dish I prepared a packet of Microwavable Uncle Ben’s Long Grain and Wild Rice. It comes in a microwavable bag. I microwaved it for 90 seconds and done! I guess my favorite among the Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice, all though I love using them all. Another tasty and easy to fix item, just microwave for 90 seconds and it’s ready.
Then I also heated up a can of Kroger Brand Whole Baby Carrots. These are so much easier to prepare than boiling fresh Baby Carrots, and they taste just as fresh and good. I also baked a loaf of Bake House RiverRoad Multi Grain Bread. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
Rockfish – Sebastes
Sebastes is a genus of fish in the family Sebastidae (though some include this in Scorpaenidae), most of which have the common name of rockfish. A few are called ocean perch, sea perch or redfish instead. Most of the Sebastes species live in the north Pacific, although two (Sebastes capensis and Sebastes oculatus) live in the south Pacific/Atlantic and four (Sebastes fasciatus, Sebastes mentella, Sebastes norvegicus and Sebastes viviparus) live in the north Atlantic. The coast off South California is the area of highest rockfish diversity, with 56 species living in the Southern California Bight.
Rockfish are an important sport and commercial fish, and many species have been overfished. As a result, seasons are tightly controlled in many areas. Sebastes are sometimes fraudulently substituted for the more expensive northern red snapper.
Rockfish has a sweet, mild flavor, with a flaky, medium-firm texture. It is best baked, sautéed, broiled or poached. Since the flesh tends to flake easily, it is not the best fish for grilling. Try it with a little lemon to bring out the sweet flavor without overpowering.
