Today’s Menu: Chili and Cheese Nachos
For Breakfast this morning I prepared Turkey Sausage and Hash Browns. I had a package of Eckrich Smoked Turkey Links in the freezer, so I put the package in the fridge to thaw overnight. They are very easy to prepare, just heat in a 
skillet for 6 minutes and done. For the Hash Browns I used Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns. Had a very bad night of dealing with Phantom Pains. These were almost violent pains I had to deal with. I just pray that one day they come up with a cure for these! Then last night we got a call from the rehab center where Dad is at and they told us he has Shingles! So now he is under quarantine for 3-5 days! What else can happen!! Weather wise we hit about 75 degrees yesterday afternoon and the temps dropped quickly and we had snow flurries in the early morning, this weather is crazy! After Breakfast I headed up the road to the local Kroger for a few items we needed. Didn’t do a whole lot today but rest, didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. For Dinner tonight a real Comfort Food, Chili and Cheese Nachos.
We love Chili and Cheese Nachos and I haven’t had them in a while! Ingredients; I used Tostitos Multi Grain Scoops for my Chips. I love these with Salsa or just as snack by their selves, they bake and hold their shape better than most chips. For my toppings I used 1 can of Mario Sliced Black Olives, sliced up some sliced Green Olives, Mezzetta Deli Sliced Jalapeno Peppers, Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, a few shakes (or more) of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, and Sargento Reduced Fat Mozzarella. Put all that together and it’s nothing but good Nachos! Especially love the Jalapenos, nice mild heat!
To prepare I preheat the oven at 400 degrees and sprayed a glass baking dish with Pam and layer everything in. I 
first opened up 2 cans of the Hormel Chili with Beans and heated them up in a sauce pan, as it was heating I added about 6 shakes of Frank’s Hot Sauce to it and mixed. After the Chili was ready I added 4 tablespoons of Chili to the baking dish, then I added my Scoops (Chips). I then added the Sliced Black Olives and Sliced Green Olives, the remainder of the Chili, Sliced Jalapeno Peppers (Love These), and then top everything the Cheese. Then just pop it in the oven 10 minutes or until the Cheese had started to melt and everything heated. I love Nachos, nothing better than a big plate of Chili Cheese Nachos! Also had a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For dessert later a Weight Watcher’s Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bar.

For the Hash Browns I used Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns. Not a bad day out today, partly sunny and in the 50’s. After Breakfast I got the leaf blower out and cleaned our deck and driveway, lot of leaves. After that I cleaned the house, vacuum and dusted. Everything done and this afternoon its NFL Football, love Football! For Dinner tonight a real Comfort Food, Chili and Cheese Nachos.

Started this rainy morning off with a Gouda Egg White Omelet with Turkey Sausage Links and Toast. The Shredded Gouda worked perfect as the Cheese filling in the Omelet. For the Omelet I used Meijer Brand Egg White Substitute. My Sausage was Jennie – O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links along with toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. And not forgetting, my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea.
We went from being very dry out to very wet, with flooding! A whole lot of rain yesterday evening through the morning. It finally slowed and cleared up somewhat as the day went on. When we finally got a break I headed out to Meijer and Kroger. Purchased the majority of the items at Meijer. Then at Kroger a few items I needed and all of Mom’s items she needed. Noticed a most of the trees have turned to their Fall Colors throughout the area now. Lot of bright colors this year. For Dinner tonight a real Comfort Food, Chili and Cheese Nachos.
Got to have my Chili and Cheese Nachos every so often, and tonight’s the night! Ingredients; I used Tostitos Multi Grain Scoops for my Chips. I love these with Salsa or just as snack by their selves, they bake and hold their shape better than most chips. For my toppings I used 1 can of Mario Sliced Black Olives. Anyone that uses small cans of Sliced Black Olives know what a pain they can be opening sometimes. Not these, they come in a can with a pull tab About time! For my other toppings I sliced up some sliced Green Olives, Mezzetta Deli Sliced Jalapeno Peppers, Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, a few shakes (or more) of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, and Sargento Reduced Fat Mozzarella. Put all that together and it’s nothing but good!

Benn a very quiet day around the house and really the neighborhood. For breakfast I had a single egg scrambled egg, 2 Jennie – O Turkey Sausage Links, and 2 slices of toasted Klosterman Wheat Bread. Did my morning workout and went in and cleaned the kitchen this morning. After that did a load of laundry for Mom and cleaned up around the house, in and outside. A little too hot to get the cart out so I hopped in the car and went over to a friend of mine, he just recently got out of the hospital with gallstones (ouch). Back home and watched television for a while. For dinner tonight Chili and Cheese Nachos.

Skillet Chicken Nachos

Today’s Menu: Skillet Chicken Nachos
Up bright and early this morning. Had a light Breakfast and my morning workout and out the door. Already humid out 7:00 this morning! Went to Walmart for a few items and then to Kroger to pick up a few items for the dinner tonight and Mom needed a few items. Back home and finished up some cleaning in the kitchen, scrubbed down the cabinets inside and out. For dinner tonight a dish everyone loved the first time around. Tonight I prepared Skillet Chicken Nachos.
Came across this recipe from an email from Betty Crocker a while back. Another one of those recipes where you take 
one look at it and you have to try it! It turned out great when I last prepared it and Mom has been wanting me to fix it again, so that’s what I’m doing tonight. Love Chicken, Black Beans, Sweet Corn, and put it as Nachos. To prepare it I’ll need: 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 1/4 lb Perdue Perfect Portions Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (cut into 1/4-inch pieces), 1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Taco Seasoning Mix, 1 can (8 oz) Hunt’s Tomato Sauce, 1 medium Red Bell Pepper (chopped 1 cup), 1 can (15 oz) Progresso Black Beans (Drained and Rinsed), 1 can (7 oz) Green Giant™ Niblets Whole Kernel Sweet Corn (drained), Sliced Jalapeno, 1 small Can Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green olives, 2 cups Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mexican cheese Blend (8 oz), 6 oz tortilla chips (about 42 chips), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh Cilantro. The original recipe didn’t call for the Jalapeno Slices or Black Olives or Green Olives, I added that to mine. I think there’s an unwritten law that you have to Jalapenos if you’re having Nachos.
To start in a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in center. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, tomato sauce, bell pepper, beans, corn, olives and 1 cup of the cheese. Reduce the heat to medium; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and cheese is melted. Serve with the tortilla chips. Took some Tortilla Chips and spread them at the bottom of a plate and spooned the chicken mixture evenly over the chips. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and the cilantro. Fairly easy dish to prepare. You can also have Daisy Reduced Sour Cream as a dip and add a little Frank’s Red Hot Sauce to add a little heat! Everything blended together and mad one Excellent Nacho Dish, a true keeper recipe! The only problem with these are, it’s hard to stop eating them! As far as the Tortilla Chips, just use your favorite, I used Mission Tortilla Rounds. The original recipe and web link is at the bottom of the post. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
Skillet Chicken Nachos
Dinner ready in 20 minutes! Enjoy these delicious nachos spooned with chicken mixture sprinkled with cheese and cilantro – perfect for Mexican cuisine.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed
1 can (7 oz) Green Giant™ Niblets® whole kernel sweet corn, drained
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)
6 oz tortilla chips (about 42 chips)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
1 – In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in center.
2 – Stir in taco seasoning mix, tomato sauce, bell pepper, beans, corn and 1 cup of the cheese. Reduce heat to medium; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and cheese is melted.
3 – Divide tortilla chips between 6 plates. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over chips. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese and the cilantro.
Expert Tips
* This recipe is very versatile. Serve it as a fun appetizer, a hearty after-school snack for a group of kids or as a main dish.
* For Skillet Beef Nachos, substitute 1 1/4 lb ground beef for the chicken. In step 1, cook beef 5 to 7 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Drain and proceed as directed.

Another night and another round of not a lot of sleep, fighting with Phantom Pains for a second night in a row. I sure wish the medical world would come up with a treatment or drug that could control these. Well the weather finally broke, we actually have some sunshine! Beautiful sunny but cold Winter’s Day. Breakfast, a quick workout, and a load of laundry and my day was done. The afternoon will be the remote and my easy chair watching Football! Not a lot of sleep again last night so I wanted to prepare something that didn’t require a lot of effort, but still a hot meal. So tonight it’s one of my favorites, Chili and Cheese Nachos.
Add the cheese and bake!
I used Tostitos Multi Grain Scoops for my Chips. I love these with Salsa or just as snack by their selves, they bake and hold their shape real good. For my toppings I used 1 can of Mario Sliced Black Olives. Before I go any further a bit about these Olives, anyone that uses small cans of Sliced Black Olives know what a pain they can be opening sometimes. Not these, they come in a can with a pull tab! About time. For my other toppings I used some Sliced Green Olives, Mezzetta Deli Sliced Jalapeno Peppers, Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, and Sargento Reduced Fat Mozzarella.
To prepare I preheat the oven at 400 degrees and sprayed a glass baking dish with Pam and layer everything in. I first opened up 2 cans of the Hormel Chili with Beans and heated them up in a sauce pan, as it was heating I added a about 6 shakes of Frank’s Hot Sauce to it and mixed. After the Chili was ready I added 4 tablespoons of Chili to the baking dish, then I added my Scoops (Chips). I then add the Sliced Black Olives and Sliced Green Olives, the remainder of the Chili, Sliced Jalapeno Peppers (Love These), and then top everything the Cheese. Then just pop it in the oven 10 minutes or so until the Cheese had started to melt and everything heated. Nothing better on a cold Winter’s Day than a big plate of Chili Cheese Nachos! Also had an ice-cold Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

About 35 degrees with a wind chill of about 28 this morning as I was leaving the house. Stopped by the bank and then to Kroger for a few items for myself and Mom. It’s amazing when store coupons or brand coupons come out how most stores all of a sudden are out of the items or they’ll have the smaller size of something and out of the larger size! It’s all stores that do it, none quite as bad as Kroger does sometimes though. They’ll have Nature Made vitamins and supplements in the large size bottles until it goes on sale, Buy One and Get One Free. Bam, nothing but the small size bottles. Oh the life of grocery shopping! Anyway for dinner tonight a new recipe, Skillet Chicken Nachos, and a warning these are addictive!.
Came across this recipe from an email from Betty Crocker. Another one of those recipes where you take one look at it and you have to try it! Love Chicken, Black Beans, Sweet Corn, and put it as Nachos, I’m in! To prepare it I’ll need: 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 1/4 lb Perdue Perfect Portions Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (cut into 1/4-inch pieces), 1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Taco Seasoning Mix, 1 can (8 oz) Hunt’s Tomato Sauce, 1 medium Red Bell Pepper (chopped 1 cup), 1 can (15 oz) Progresso Black Beans (Drained and Rinsed), 1 can (7 oz) Green Giant™ Niblets Whole Kernel Sweet Corn (drained), Sliced Jalapeno, 1 small Can Sliced Black Olives, 2 cups Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mexican cheese Blend (8 oz), 6 oz tortilla chips (about 42 chips), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh Cilantro. The original recipe didn’t call for the Jalapeno Slices or Black Olives, I added that. I think there’s an unwritten law that you have to Jalapenos if you’re having Nachos.
To start in a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in center. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, tomato sauce, bell pepper, beans, corn and 1 cup of the cheese. Reduce the heat to medium; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and cheese is melted. Serve with the tortilla chips. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over chips. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese and the cilantro. Fairly easy dish to prepare. You can also have Daisy Reduced Sour Cream as a dip. Everything blended together and mad one Excellent Nacho Dish, a keeper recipe! The only problem with these are, it’s hard to stop eating them! As far as the Tortilla Chips, just use your favorite.I used Mission Tortilla Rounds. The original recipe and web link is at the bottom of the post. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Chili and Cheese Nachos!

Today’s Menu: Chili and Cheese Nachos
Today was our Community Annual Yard Sale, Fred Stanford would have a field day today around here! Taking a tour of the Park it looks as though neighbors bought their neighbor’s junk from last year and now are reselling it this year. Only in the eye of the beholder! It was little hotter out and bit more humid out today, nothing too bad though. Really didn’t want a big meal tonight so I went with a family favorite, Chili and Cheese Nachos!
I used Tostitos Multi Grain Scoops for my Chips. I love these with Salsa or just as snack by their selves, they bake and hold their shape real good. For my toppings I used 1 can of Mario Sliced Black Olives. Before I go any further a bit about these Olives, anyone that uses small cans of Sliced Black Olives know what a pain they can be opening sometimes. Not these, they come in a can with a pull tab! About time. For my other toppings I used some Sliced Green Olives, Mezzetta Deli Sliced Jalapeno Peppers, Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, and Sargento Reduced Fat Mozzarella and some fresh grated Murray’s Dutch Gouda.
To prepare I preheat the oven at 400 degrees and sprayed a glass baking dish with Pam and layer everything in. I start with a couple of tablespoons of Chili then I add my Scoops (Chips). I then add the Sliced Black Olives, the Chili, Sliced Jalapeno Peppers (Love These), and then top everything the Cheese Blend. Then just pop it in the oven 10 minutes or so until the Cheese had started to melt and everything heated. For the Chili I warm it up in a sauce pan, adding a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, before I top the Scoops with it. Nothing better than a big plate of Chili Cheese Nachos! Also had an ice-cold Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Buffalo Chicken Nachos Grande and Baked Smokey BBQ Chicken Wings

Today’s Menu: Buffalo Chicken Nachos Grande and Baked Smokey BBQ Chicken Wings
Another morning in the teens this morning but it got in the 40’s and sunny today so that wasn’t bad. Mom and Dad meet friends for a Brunch and I didn’t have much of an appetite so for dinner tonight it was a couple of Chicken Appetizers, Buffalo Chicken Nachos Grande and Baked Smokey BBQ Chicken Wings.
I went to Walmart and picked up an Rottissierie Chicken to make the Nachos and also picked up a bag of the Tyson Smokey BBO Chicken Wings. Made these Buffalo Chicken Nachos Grande for the first time last week and was looking forward to make some more of them! These are some of the best Nachos I’ve made. The recipe calls for 4 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken, 3/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce, 1 bag (18 oz) restaurant-style tortilla chips, 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (12 oz), 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, and 1 cup crumbled blue cheese (4 oz). Sort of sounds like Buffalo Wings. I used a Walmart Rotisserie Chicken, Kroger Brand Medium Wing Sauce, Mission Round Tortiia, Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella, I was out of Celery so I didn’t add any, and Mayfield Crumbled Bleu Cheese. I think chopped Celery or maybe even chopped Green Onions would both work. Even add a Jalapeno Pepper on top for added heat.
To prepare them just Heat your oven to 350°F. and in large bowl, toss chicken and 1/2 cup of the wing sauce to coat. Spray two large (14-inch) pizza pans with cooking spray. Arrange half of the tortilla chips on one pizza pan; top with 2 cups of the chicken and 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat on second pizza pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top each pan with celery and blue cheese; drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup wing sauce. To serve; slide one pan of nachos off onto other pan to make one large mound of nachos. I only made 1 pan of them instead of two. This has quickly become a family favorite!
For the Wings I used Tyson Smoky BBQ Wings. Second time we’ve had the Smokey Bbq Wings, We had tried two other of the Tyson Wings which were both good. To prepare them I just followed the instructions on the bag. Preheated the oven to 450°F. Then lined a rimmed baking sheet with foil and sprayed with non-stick spray. Placed the frozen chicken wing sections on a pan in a single layer. Then baked the on upper rack for 35 – 38 minutes, until the juices ran clear when thickest part of the chicken temperature read 180°F. on an instant thermometer. After preparing the Tyson Wings several times I have found out to keep them from sticking spray both sides of the Wings with a light coat of Pam Spray. The Wings came out perfect! They crisped up nice and had and excellent Smokey BBQ flavor, and all are above normal size Wings! I had a side of Litehouse Lite Bleu Cheese Dressing and Dip for the Wings. Nice change of pace to have appetizers for dinner. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
