Buttermilk Marinated Chicken Thighs and Noodles

Today’s Menu: Buttermilk Marinated Chicken Thighs and Noodles

For Breakfast I made a Breakfast Sandwich using a toasted Thomas Light English Muffin and frying a al fresco Chicken Sausage Patty, I actually made 2 of these – 1 for Mom. The al fresco Chicken Breakfast Patties are an excellent Patty! Still a touch of Winter out there today. A high of 51 degrees, cloudy and windy out today. The wind made it feel like it was in the 30’s. After Breakfast I made a Delivery Order from Kroger, it got here about Noon. Just did some cleaning around the house and moved some of our plants outside to the shed for overnight. The say a possible frost! Will it ever change to Spring! For Dinner tonight I prepared Buttermilk Marinated Chicken Thighs and Noodles along with Dinner Rolls.

For the Chicken; I started at Noon today. I grabbed a large Hefty Bag and added a 1/2 Pint of Buttermilk to the bag. I then added several shakes of Frank’s Hot Sauce to it and shook the bag to blend it together. I then added my Chicken Breasts and let it Marinate in the fridge until it was time to use. I used my favorite, Katie’s Best Chicken Thighs.

To prepare the Chicken Thighs I grabbed a Cast Iron Skillet. Sprayed with a coat of Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray. Then I started heating the skillet on medium heat. Next I added a tablespoon and a half of Olive Oil Cooking Oil. As the skillet heated I got the Chicken out of the fridge and removed it from the bag of Marinade, shaking off the excess. Then I grabbed a pie pan and added Flour to it and seasoned the Flour with Paprika. Took the Chicken Thighs and rolled them in the Seasoned Flour until well covered.

Added the Chicken to the heated Skillet. I cooked the Chicken for 4 minutes and then flipped them over and cooked them for 4 more minutes, until golden brown and the meat thermometer read 165 degrees. The Chicken turned out so very good! Cooked up perfect, nice crust, and love the seasoning! Served it with Kraft Hickory Smoked BBQ Sauce for dipping.

For the Noodles I used No Yolks Extra Broad Noodles. I’ve been eating the No Yolks for as long as I can remember. They are always so good! To prepare them: Bring 4 quarts of water to a rapid boil. Add salt to add flavor and reduce stickiness. Gradually stir in 6 oz of No Yolks noodles; return to rapid boil. Cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

To prepare the Meal I made a bed of Noodles and topped them with a shake of Salt, Dried Parsley, and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Then I topped them with the Chicken Thighs. This is my type of Dinner! The No Yolks were good as always and the Chicken Thighs were excellent. Chicken is so good when Marinated in the Buttermilk and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce! We also had some Aunt Millie’s Living Carb Smart Dinner Rolls, some of the freshest Rolls you can buy. Plus they are only 35 calories and 2 carbs per roll! For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

No Yolks Extra Broad Noodles
At 1/2″ wide, our Extra Broad Noodles are great for casseroles and entrées, and make a great alternative in dishes that ordinarily would call for pappardelle or fettuccine.

Today’s Menu: Noodles, Buffalo Strips, Brown Mushroom Gravy and Italian Bread

To start my morning I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 15 degrees this morning with a wind chill at 9 degrees. For the day it was 21 degrees with a few snowflakes in the late afternoon. They had a few inches just south of us. Mom isn’t feeling good today so I took care of her. She started feeling better toward the evening. For Dinner tonight I prepared Noodles, Buffalo Strips, Brown Mushroom Gravy and Italian Bread.

For the noodles I used Meijer Extra Wide Yolk Free Pasta. Easy to prepare as all Pasta is. I heated a pot of water. Once boiling I salted the water and added the Pasta, stirring often. Boiled it for 10 minutes. Removed from the heat and drained the pasta. Set aside in a bowl as the Buffalo and Gravy both were ready.

As usual I used Wild Idea Buffalo Steak Strips. To prepare these I used a small Cast Iron Skillet. Sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Spray and added a tablespoon of Cooking Olive Oil. Heated it on medium heat. When the Skillet was ready I added my Steak Strips, seasoned them with Wild Idea Buffalo Omnivore Salt Seasoning. I cooked them for only 2 minutes a side, and done. These are just tender and delicious! Set aside until ready to use.

For the Gravy I’m using a small bottle of Heinz Mushroom Gravy. I’m also adding a small jar of Pennsylvania Dutchman Sliced Mushrooms, my favorite. I love Mushrooms! So as the Noodles and Buffalo Strips were cooking I got a small Saucepan. Sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Spray, heated it on medium low. Added the Heinz Gravy and drained jar of Sliced Mushrooms to the Gravy and stir until heated.

To put this Meal together I made a bed of the Noodles in a bowl. Topped it with some of the Buffalo Strips and topped that with Mushroom Gravy. Topped it all with a sprinkle of Parsley. It’s one delicious Dish! The Noodles, Buffalo and Mushroom Gravy work perfectly together. The Dish has 3 of my favorites Pasta, Buffalo and Mushroom Gravy! I also had a slice of Italian Bread. I had bought Italian Loaf Bread at Meijer. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Cherry Jello. Take Care and Stay Safe All!

WILD IDEA BUFFALO – PREMIUM STEAK STRIPS
Pre-cut strips from the Tenderloin, New York Strip, Ribeye and Sirloin. This product has top-of-the-line taste and is amazingly tender. Perfect for stir frying or on the grill. Available in a 12 oz. package.

Today’s Menu: Reames Chicken and Dumplings and Sliced Carrots

For Breakfast I prepared a packet of Pioneer Peppered White Gravy. I also toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain bread, fried 2 Jennie – O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, and had my Morning Cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Mom was gone most of the day so I stayed home to keep an eye on Dad. Did some house work and outside got the leaf blower out and cleaned the deck and driveway area off. With everything done I kicked back and watched some shows I had recorded. For Dinner tonight I prepared Reames Chicken and Dumplings and Sliced Carrots.

Here’s another one I haven’t prepared in a long time, Reames Chicken and Dumplings. Why i can’t tell you, the Noodle/Dumplings are fantastic to use! While at Meijer I seen a package of these in the Frozen Foods and grabbed a package. To prepare the dish I’ll need; 2 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil, 3 Perdue Perfect Portions Boneless, Skinless chicken breasts (cut into 3/4″ chunks), 1 quart (32oz) Swanson Low Sodium Chicken Broth, 1 tablespoon Parsley flakes, 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper, and 1 bag (12oz) Reames Frozen Flat Dumplings.

I’m using Perdue Perfect Portions Boneless and Skinless Chicken Breasts. I love using these. Their individually wrapped, perfect size, and cook up perfectly. To prepare it; In a large pot, heat oil, add Chicken and cook until chicken is slightly browned.

Add Broth, Parsley and Pepper, Bring mixture to a boil. Add Reames Frozen Flat Dumplings, stirring to separate, return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 25 min. Stir occasionally to prevent dumpling from sticking. Or until dumplings are desired tenderness. All done, and serve! I’ve got to remember to have these more often! They always turn out so good. Easy to prepare and an excellent Noodle. They go perfect with Chicken.

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 Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Today’s Menu: Chili and Cheese Nachos

** The late posting was due to high winds here in the area that brought down power lines. Our area had no internet service until well after midnight.

For Breakfast I made my Skillet Potatoes and Ham for Breakfast. I used 1 package of Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes and a package of Meijer Diced Ham to prepare it. Just cook the Potatoes according to the package instructions and with about 5 minutes of cooking time left add the Diced Ham. I really enjoy this for Breakfast. In the 30’s this morning but it was sunny all day and had a high around 50 degrees. Took Mom’s car and had it cleaned and washed and then had to stop by the bank before heading to home. Did some cleaning around the house, straightened up the pantry and the freezer. Pitched a few items out of the freezer. For dinner tonight an easy made comfort food. I prepared Chili and Cheese Nachos.

One of those days where something lighter sounded right for dinner so it was Chili and Cheese Nachos! Make a bed of Tostito’s Multi Grain Scoops. Top with Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, Black Olives, Green Olives, Sliced Jalapenos, all covered up with a blanket of Sargento Shredded Mozzarella. That’s my Dinner Tonight!

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 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!

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 so 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 an ice-cold Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Hormel: Turkey w/Beans 98% Fat Free Chili

* Since 1891
* NO preservatives
Directions:
Stove top: empty chili into saucepan. Stir occasionally while heating over medium heat, about 5 minutes or until hot. Microwave: empty chili into microwaveable bowl; cover loosely. Heat for 2 To 3 minutes or until hot, stirring once. Careful. Let chili stand in microwave 1 minute and stir before serving. All microwaves And stoves vary. Times given are approximate.

Today’s Menu: Baked Flounder Sandwich w/ Egg Noodles

For Breakfast I had a couple of Jennie – O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links and 2 slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Toast, lightly buttered. After Breakfast did some light cleaning around the house and finished up a load of laundry for Mom. I rarely buy Lottery Tickets but I went this afternoon and purchased some Powerball Tickets for tonight’s drawing of over 800 Million Dollars! They say it could even go much higher before it’s time to draw the numbers. As they say “you can’t win if you don’t play’. Not much else going on today around the house, pretty quiet. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Baked Flounder Sandwich w/ Egg Noodles.

Baked Flounder Sandwich w Egg Noodles 002

While at Kroger a while back I purchased a package of frozen Flounder Fillets. They can be prepared by Baking and can be prepared from frozen or thawed. So I got 2 of the fillets out as I went to bed last night and let them thaw in the fridge overnight.

To prepare them I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. I then took a small baking pan lined it with foil and sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray. Got the Flounder out of the fridge and patted them dry with a paper towel, then seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley along with a dash of Garlic Salt. When the oven was ready I baked the Flounder for about 10 minutes. Not bad for frozen Fish, good flavor and baked up nicely. Just the right size for small Hoagie Buns. I used Aunt Millie’s Deli Style Whole Grain Mini Sub Buns and topped the fillet with McCormick Fat Free Tartar Sauce.

For side dish I had planned on Mac and Cheese but my Mom had prepared a bag of Inn Maid Amish Egg Noodles as part of her and Dad’s dinner she had prepared for their dinner, so I just used the leftovers for my dinner. First time I had tried that brand of Egg Noodle and really liked them. I don’t have Egg noodles a lot because of the higher calories and carbs but I hadn’t had any in quite a while so they sounded good. Just reheated them a bit and reseasoned with Morton’s Lite Salt and Ground Black Pepper along with a pat of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Enjoyed the meal tonight, bit of an odd combo but enjoyed it! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Mousse.

What are the odds the same thing happening to both cars! Expensive, but has to be repaired. . Beautiful day out, sunny and 70. Got the cart out around noon enjoyed the beautiful day. For dinner tonight I prepared Chicken ‘n’ Noodles w/ Baby Carrots.

Anyway it comes in a 5 serving can and contains the Noodles and Seasoning, I added the Chicken. I cut up 2 Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts seasoning them with Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, Ground Smoked Cumin, and Parsley. I then fried them in a large skillet, on medium high, until done. When ready, removed them from the pan on to my cutting board. Shredded and cut the Breasts into small pieces. Added the can of Fixins’ to the skillet along with the Chicken. Cooked until it the Sauce was bubbling reduced the heat to low simmered until it was heated throughout. The broth that’s with Noodles is incredible! Rich and thick and seasoned just right. The best Chicken and Noodles, bar none! I’ve got 6 cans of this left and that will be the end of it, I checked on-line and all the sites are now sold out.

It’s been one hectic day today! My Dad had a doctor’s appointment but before that this morning I had to call 911. He was really struggling getting his breath, a nagging cough was turning worse, and was really weak. I wanted him to go to the doctor a week ago but as usual when I try to help it goes upon deaf ears. And now this is the result, he’s in the hospital with pneumonia. Then on top of that my Mom’s get a cold and I’ve got my yearly Pre – Spring Sinus Infection. It’s not been a good day to say the least. It’s been a warm day a high near or at 60 degrees, and they’re calling for 64 degrees tomorrow! Then back to back cold days with possible flurries, no wonder everyone is sick! Well thank goodness for leftovers, because it was Leftover City tonight for dinner! , I reheated Chicken ‘n’ Noodles w/ Sliced Carrots and a Slice of Whole Grain Bread.

Just to jog the memory, I used Margaret Holmes Simple Suppers Chicken n Noodles Fixins’. Another of my favorite Comfort Foods!

Somewhat cooler out today, high in the low 40’s where it’s been in the mid 50’s lately. But not a bad day, sun finally came out in the early afternoon. Went to the store to pick up a few items and on my way home seen something I don’t believe I ever saw around this area, Seagulls. At least they looked like Seagulls, I compared my picture with some on-line and that’s what they look like. They were in a field and the parking lot of the West Chester Public Library, where there’s always a big gathering of Geese. And the Geese were none too happy about the new guests in their territory! Not sure on why they were settled in here, there was about 3 good size flocks of them. Anyway tonight for dinner it was Chicken ‘n’ Noodles w/ Sliced Carrots and Whole Grain Bread.

Had a slight case of the dreaded Cabin Fever, so it was time to get out! Stopped by the bank to start and then to one of my favorite stores to shop or just browse, jungle Jim’s International Market! The store is just amazing! The Deli has the best selection of Boar’s Head Meats and Cheese of anyone. A fantastic Olive and Side Dish case and the best Cheese selection of anyone. The Produce, Bakery, Meat , and Seafood departments are all top-notch also. Then the International selection of all World Foods can not be topped, at least in this area. So whether it’s Crabs, Geoducks, Polenta, or Quail or Ostrich Eggs they have it. While there I purchased some Oranges, Bananas, Calf Liver (for my Mom), Boar’s Head sliced Rare Roast Beef and sliced Honey Smoked Turkey, Snapple, and a couple of different Blue Cheese and Cheddar. Love that Store! For dinner tonight I prepared Chicken ‘n’ Noodles w/ Sliced Carrots and Whole Grain Bread.

Whole Grain Noodles Topped w/ Turkey Meatballs in a Brown Mushroom Gravy…

Today’s Menu: Whole Grain Noodles Topped w/ Turkey Meatballs in a Brown Mushroom Gravy and a Stuffed Peppadews Appetizer

I’m pretty sure to predict the weather they write down all the possibilities, put them in a hat, and pull one out for our forecast! They had predicted 2 1/2″ to 3″ of rain and a front to move through and move out all the humidity, wrong. We did get a couple of brief cloud bursts of rain but not close to the amount they said and it’s still humid! Never trust the weather report. Tried a couple of new dishes for dinner, one I wasn’t real sure on but it turned out to be a keeper of a recipe! I prepared some Whole Grain Noodles Topped w/ Turkey Meatballs in a Brown Mushroom Gravy and a Stuffed Peppadews Appetizer.

The Whole Grain Noodles Topped w/ Turkey Meatballs in a Brown Mushroom Gravy is loosely based on a Rachael Ray dish that I had seen earlier on TV. I did a few things to shorten the cooking and prep time and I also lightened it up, fewer calories and carbs. I used Ronzoni Health Harvest Whole Grain Noodles. I love Egg Noodles but I always try to stay with the Whole Wheat when possible. As I was boiling my Noodles I went ahead and started preparing the Meatballs and Gravy.

I found some Jennie – O Turkey Meatballs at Jungle Jim’s Market a while back and them frozen waiting to try them with a Meatball Dish. First time I’ve tried the Jennie – O Turkey Meatballs, I usually use Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. These were 10 fewer calories per serving, they’re not quite as big as the Honeysuckle White’s though but every bit as good! I pan fried them in a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and took them off the heat before they were quite done. Then in another skillet I heated up my Heinz Mushroom Gravy, I had added additional sliced baby Bella Mushrooms to the gravy. As the gravy was heating I added my Meatballs and let them simmer in the gravy until heated through. First time I had ever had Turkey Meatballs in a Mushroom Gravy and it was as they say “Off the Hook”! What a great combo. My Noodles were just finishing up as my Meatball/Gravy mix was. To serve I made a bed of the Noodles and topped it with the Meatballs/Gravy. I then topped it with some freshly grated Asiago Cheese and fresh chopped Parsley. What a hearty comfort food! A keeper recipe. Everything just seemed like a natural pairing and the Asiago Cheese was the perfect topper. I also baked a mini loaf of Kroger Bakery Harvest Grain Bread.

For an appetizer another new one with Peppadew Peppers, which I had never heard of until this morning when I was at Kroger doing some early morning shopping. They had these in the Deli/Cheese Shop already seeded and marinated. There was 6 whole ones and 2 small ones in the container. I stuffed 3 of them with fresh grated Havarti Cheese and the other 3 with Turkey Sausage and Havarti Cheese. After stuffing them I put them in a microwave plate and heated them for about 40 seconds. I love them! Wasn’t sure how they would turn out but they came out a winner. A good appetizer to have around. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.

Peppadews

Processed peppadew peppers

This type of piquante pepper was first discovered in early 1993 and introduced to market later that same decade. The name is a portmanteaux of pepper and dew.
Although the pepper is sometimes described as a cross between a pepper and a tomato, this description is not botanically accurate, and refers only to the resemblance in color and size between peppadew and cherry tomatoes.
Applications have been made by the various owners of the brand to secure international breeders right by application to the UPOV.
In 2000 the South African mushroom producer, Denny Mushrooms, acquired the Peppadew brand and business. Denny has in turn since been acquired by AVI.

The fruit is processed for removal of the seeds and reduction of the heat of the pepper to more pleasant levels. It is then pickled and bottled. The flavor of the Peppadew fruit is sweet, with mild heat of around 1,177 on the Scoville scale.
