Today’s Menu: Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta
For Breakfast this morning I prepared a Jimmy Dean Simple Scramble Cup – Crumbled Turkey Sausage, Egg Whites, and Cheddar Cheese. I really love these. So easy to prepare and very good! Plus
they are only 150 calories and 3 carbs per serving, which is excellent. The rains have finally let up, but still a lot of flooding and more heavy rain on the Saturday. After Lunch got the push broom and leaf blower out, a lot leaves and limbs around the deck and driveway. Later on I had to go to the bank and got gas. Our gas here in Ohio will be going up, They are putting a Road Tax of 18 cents on gas. They say it’s going to road repair. Anyway for dinner tonight I prepared Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta.
I haven’t had this in a while and it sounded good! To make the dish I’ll need; 1 Box Betty Crocker Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken – Chicken Helper and 2 Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts.
I love the Betty Crocker Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken – Chicken Helper. I’ve tried a few of them now but this is my favorite by far. This really turns out delicious and an easy meal to prepare! The 
Rotini and Cheese Sauce is excellent and the Seasoned Crumb Coating with Natural Bacon Flavor for the Chicken is one of the better Crumb Coatings I’ve had for Chicken. To prepare it first go ahead and make the Pasta, by the box directions. Just boil, stir, and season.
As the Pasta was cooking I prepared the Chicken, I used Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts. I cut each Breast into 3 pieces. Coated each piece with the provided Seasoned Crumbs and fried 
until done. The full instructions are at the end of the post. The Chicken Helper box contains Rotini Pasta with Naturally Flavored Cheesy Sauce Mix and Seasoned Crumb Coating with Natural Bacon Flavor. I added the Chicken, Water, 2% Milk, Extra Light Olive Oil, Sea Salt and Pepper. I cut each chicken breast into 3 to 5 slices. Coated the Chicken in the Milk and Seasonings. Then fried the Chicken until Golden Brown and done. Delicious!
I also baked a loaf of La Bagquetterie Garlic Oval Bread. I buy this Bread at Meijer Bakery. Good replacement for the RiverRoad bakery Bread that we no longer can find. It bakes up in 8 minutes and has nice pieces of Garlic through out the loaf. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Sprite to drink. Finally found the Diet Sprite at Jungle Jim’s International Market.

Today’s Menu:: Leftovers – Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta
For Breakfast on this Sunday 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 bowl 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. I love this Breakfast trio more and more! No McDonald’s for Mom and Dad today, I made Breakfast for them also. I prepared a couple of Poached Eggs, fried some Bob Evan’s Breakfast sausage Links, made some Hash Browns, and baked some Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits. Now this beats their usual McDonald’s Breakfast anytime!
Mom went on to Church and stayed home and watched Dad. He’s to the point now where he can not be left alone so it’s up to us to take care of him. After Mom left I did a couple of loads of laundry. Then it was on to house cleaning, dusted and vacuumed. We have wooden flooring in the Dining Room and Hallway. So I used a dust mop on it and then a light wood floor wax. Done with cleaning inside I cleaned up outside after Lunch. Got the leaf blower out and cleaned the wooden deck and driveway areas. The leaves are all turning and falling. It’s 78 degrees and cloudy out. It looks like our last warm day, cooler weather moving in with rain tomorrow. Anyway everything all done and just relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. For dinner tonight t was leftovers, reheated the I Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta. As always when I make this dish, it’s leftovers the next day. This so good there’s no way I’ll let the leftovers go to waste! Below I’ve left the original post from yesterday, for description and instructions on how to prepare it. See you tomorrow!

Today’s Menu: Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta
Woke up starving this morning! So for Breakfast I toasted a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread (lightly buttered), made some Hash Browns using Simply Potatoes Hash Browns, and finally fried up some Gliers’s Turkey Goetta! Oh, Breakfast is served! Also had the morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I love Goetta, got to start having it more often! High 80’s out today but less humidity! Finally that high humidity has let up, at least for one day or so! Got the cart out of the shed and did some work around the yard. That all done, I took a spin around the neighborhood and down by the lake. It is hot but low humidity! For dinner tonight I prepared Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta.
To make the dish I’ll need; 1 Box Betty Crocker Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken – Chicken Helper and 2 Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts.
I’ve always enjoyed Hamburger Helpers – Betty Crocker Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken – Chicken Helper. I’ve tried a few of them now but this is my favorite by far. This really turns out delicious and an easy meal to prepare! The Rotini and Cheese Sauce is excellent and the Seasoned Crumb Coating with Natural Bacon Flavor for the Chicken is one of the better Crumb Coatings I’ve had for Chicken. To prepare it first go ahead and make the Pasta, by the box directions.
Then prepare your Chicken, I used Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts. I cut each Breast into 3 pieces. Coated each piece with the provided Seasoned Crumbs and fried until done. The full instructions are at the end of the post. The Chicken Helper box contains Rotini Pasta with Naturally Flavored Cheesy Sauce Mix and Seasoned Crumb Coating with Natural Bacon Flavor. I added the Chicken, Water, 2% Milk, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Sea Salt and Pepper.
It all comes together for one easily made and delicious dinner. I also had a slice of Health Life Whole Grain Bread (lightly buttered) and a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For dessert later a Weight Watcher’s Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar.

Today’s Menu: Orange Chicken w/ Rice and Sugar Snap Peas
Started the off with a Fried Bologna and Cheese Sandwich, and it hit the spot! I used Kahn’s Deluxe Bologna, 
Sargento Ultra Thin Colby Longhorn Cheese, and a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin. Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Just did the usual, after I had my morning workout got the leaf blower out and cleaned up around the house and the driveway. We have a patch of woods lining the backyard and leaves constantly build up. Then came back in and vacuumed the house and dusted. We have a family member that’s a slob, a real slob. Anyway for dinner tonight tried something new, Chicken Helper Ultimate Orange Chicken. So tonight it’s Orange Chicken w/ Rice and Sugar Snap Peas.
Love these Chicken Helpers! They have a nice selection of them and easy to prepare. First time I used the Chicken Helper Ultimate Orange Chicken. The box contains the Rice, Seasoned Chicken Coating, and Zesty Orange Sauce. I added the Water, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Chicken (Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts), Sugar Snap Peas, and Peanuts.
To prepare it; Pour Rice into 2-quart saucepan; add 1-3/4 cups water. Heat just to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-
low to low. Cover; simmer about 20 minutes, without stirring, until Rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. And as that’s going on I cut Chicken into 1/2-inch pieces; pat dry if necessary. Placed the chicken in medium bowl. Added the seasoned Coating; tossed to coat. Heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the Chicken to hot oil; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown on all sides. Simmer; Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully pour 1/2 cup water into skillet; stir in Orange Sauce. Simmer uncovered about 5 minutes until Sauce thickens and Chicken is no longer pink in center. Also as I turned the heat down I added some Sugar Snap Peas to the mix. Serve with Rice and top with Sea Salted Peanuts.
The dish turned out delicious! Fantastic flavoring to the dish throughout, Chicken; nice crust from the coating and moist and flavorful, the added Sugar Snap Peas and Peanuts added the perfect final touches! Mom and Dad really enjoyed this. For dessert later a SO Delicious Vanilla Dairy Free Mini Sandwiches.

No rain and lots of sunshine, a beautiful Spring Day! Breakfast and my workout, then outside!

Dinner tonight it’s, Crispy Cheddar Bacon Chicken w/ Cheesy Rotini Pasta.
