Today’s Menu: Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. Cloudy and 64 degrees, rain moving in late in the day. Went to Kroger for a few items and stopped by McDonald’s and picked up Breakfast for Mom. I’ve got to hire someone to paint our shed. Then later hire someone to power wash the house and deck. Then later have someone to touch the deck up. Frustrating being in a wheelchair having to pay someone to do work that you know you could do but no longer able. So for dinner tonight I prepared a Panko Crusted Cod Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.

I had purchased the Cod from Kroger and had it in the freezer. I laid the Cod in the fridge overnight to thaw. To prepare the Cod I rinsed the fillet off with cold water and patted dry. I then cut the fillet in half. Then seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Combined the flour and both Garlic Powder and Onion powder then press both sides of fillet into flour for a light dusting , shaking off any excess flour. Dipped the floured fillets into the Paprika seasoned Egg Beater’s, allowing excess to drip off. Placed the fillets, one at a time, in Panko Bread Crumbs, and lightly toss fillets until both sides are covered. Meanwhile, heated the Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a skillet and placed the fillets in and cooked 3 minutes each side. Served on a Healthy Life Wheat Burger Bun. I love making Fish Sandwiches with Cod and the Panko Bread Crumbs. Cod cooks up great no matter how you prepare it. Plus it’s a very meaty Fish.

I also baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries, served these with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup for dipping. For dessert later Chocolate Fudge Walnut Brownie. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.

For Breakfast this morning I made 3 Bean Buffalo Chili and Cheese Omelet. I used the leftover 3 Bean Buffalo Chili, Egg Beater’s Egg Whites, and Sargento Reduced Calorie Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Rain on and off all day and 45 degrees out. Well I talked to a few people that are above knee amputees like myself and they all seem to suffer from Phantom Pains, and some have them a lot more often than I do! So I guess it could be worse. Sure wish they would find a cure, and soon! So with all the rain just did a few things around the house. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Buffalo Cheese Burger and Baked Fries.

I also baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries, served these with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup for dipping. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Peach Snapple to drink.

Today’s Menu: Baked Ham and Swiss Sub w/ Baked Fries

A delicious hot Breakfast for a cold Winter’s Morning! I prepared my Skillet Potatoes and Ham Breakfast Skillet. I used 1 package of Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes and a package of Meijer Diced Ham. Just cooked the Potatoes according to the package instructions and with about 5 minutes of cooking time left add the Diced Ham. I topped it with Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese and a Fried Egg Sunnyside Up. And Breakfast is served! Had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Another cold morning out there again, 12 degrees! 44 degrees and partly sunny for the day.After Breakfast I went to Menard’s, I’m looking for a good Battery Operated Drill and Screwdriver. Afterward I stopped by Kroger to pick up a prescription for Mom. Back home cleaned the fridge and microwave. For Dinner tonight its a Baked Ham and Swiss Sub w/ Baked Fries.

I hadn’t made a Baked Ham and Swiss Sub in a while and it sure sounded good! So for my Sub I’ll need; Kroger 100% Whole Grain Mini Sub Buns, Boar’s Head Sweet Sliced Ham, 2 Slices Kroger Brand Swiss Cheese, Kraft Light Mayo w/ Olive Oil, and Kraft Fat Free Zesty Italian Dressing.

To make the Sub I took the bottom half of the Bun and layered it the Mayo and a couple of slices of Swiss Cheese. Then layered it with the Ham, a drizzle of the Italian Dressing, and topped it with the top half of the Sub Bun. Last, I drizzled more of the Italian Dressing and some McCormick Sea Salt over to of it.

I had already preheated the oven to 400 degrees, I then laid the Sub on a small baking sheet and baked it for about 12 minutes. Took it out and the Sub was a light golden brown and the Cheese was melted. Love these Baked Ham and Swiss Subs!

To go with Hoagie I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries, served with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Today’s Menu: Buttermilk Brined and Breaded Chicken Tenders w/ Baked Zesty Curly Fries

For Breakfast this morning I made a Breakfast sandwich. I used a toasted Thomas Light English Muffin, al fresco Chicken Sausage Patty, and a 1/2 a slice of Kraft Deli Style Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Outside we had rain on and off all day and a high of 46 degrees. Not much going on today. About 6:00 this morning Phantom Pains started and lasted until about 3:00 this afternoon. So aggravating and not a thing I can do but wait them out until they stop. So not a lot going on today. For Dinner tonight Buttermilk Brined and Breaded Chicken Tenders w/ Baked Zesty Curly Fries.

I purchased a package of Meijer Chicken Breast Tenderloins. To prepare them I’ll need the Chicken Tenderloins, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt, Flour, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, Buttermilk, Extra Light Olive Oil.

Last night I opened up the package of Chicken Tenderloins. Trimmed them up a bit and then Seasoned them with the Salt and Pepper. I then got a cup and a half of Buttermilk and added Frank’s Red Hot sauce to it. I added quite a few shakes, you can add as much as you want according to your own taste. Mixed with a fork until all blended. I put the Chicken Tenders into a gallon sized Hefty Plastic Bag. Then I added the Buttermilk and Hot Sauce Mixture to the bag and sealed it. Put it in the fridge until ready to use. I also got 3/4 of a cup of Flour and put it in a plastic bowl. Added a couple of shakes of Garlic Salt to it and took a fork and mixed it together. Sealed with the lid and set aside until tomorrow.

To prepare them; I grabbed a large skillet. Sprayed a light coat of Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray on it and heated it on medium heat. After a couple of minutes of heating I added a couple of tablespoons of the Extra Light Olive Oil to it. As that was heating I got the bag with the Chicken Marinating in out of the fridge. I got the Chicken out of the bag and shook the excess Buttermilk off of them. Then rolled them in the Garlic Powder Seasoned Flour, making sure all the Tender was covered with Flour.

With the skillet heated I added the Chicken. I had to fry it in 2 batches so not too over crowd the skillet. I cooked them for 6 minutes and then turned them over and cooked them another 5 minutes, until done. I checked them with a meat thermometer and read 165 degrees.

Removed them from the skillet to a paper lined plate. It’s been sometime since I made Buttermilk/Hot Sauce Brined Chicken and it sure was good! Nice crust and seasoning, fried Tenders at their best! Served it with a side of Litehouse Lite Blue Cheese Dressing/Dip.

For a side I baked some Ore Ida Zesty Curly Fries. To prepare them I just baked them for about 20 minutes at 425 degrees. First time trying these, I think. Really enjoyed them, enjoyed the Seasoning but they did have a few more calories than the Crinkle Cut Fries. For Dessert later a bowl of Breyer’s Carb Smart Chocolate Ice Cream.

Today’s Menu: Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries

For Breakfast this morning I had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 36 degrees and partly cloudy outside today. After I had the Tea I headed to Meijer for a few items. Stopped by the Bank ATM and then by McDonald’s to pick up Breakfast for Mom. Back home did laundry and cleaned and straightened the Pantry. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries.

I picked up a loaf the Goldminer California Sourdough Bread at Meijer. I love this Bread especially grilled! But don’t have too often because of the calories and carbs. To prepare the Sandwich I’ll need; Boar’s Head Sweet Slice Ham, Sargento Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese, French’s Yellow Mustard, Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil, and Goldminer California Sourdough Bread. I used the flat top Griddle to grill it with. I sprayed the griddle with a very light coat of Pam Cooking Spray and spread about 1/2 tablespoon of Blue Bonnet Light Butter on it. Heated it on medium heat. I also turned the oven on at 425 degrees, for the Fries.

While the griddle was heating I got the Sandwich ready to grill. Took a slice of the Sour Dough Bread and topped it with some of the Kraft Mayo, the Boar’s Head Ham, the Sargento Swiss, French’s Mustard, and added the top slice of the Sour Dough Bread. I then Buttered the bottom and top halves of the Bread with Blue Bonnet Butter. With the griddle heated I grilled my Sandwich. Grilled the bottom half just over 3 minutes, then flipped it over and grilled the other side about 3 minutes. Until both sides were golden brown! I love Grilled Sandwiches!

I also baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries, served with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s of Hanover Stick Pretzels with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

Today’s Menu: Chicken, Bacon, Vermont Cheddar Cheese, Honey Mustard and Lettuce Hoagie w/ Baked Fries

For Breakfast this morning I made a Egg White Ham and Cheese Omelet. I used Egg Beater’s Egg Whites, Meijer Diced Ham, and Sargento Off the Block Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I also toasted a slice of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread topped with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. It’s one rainy day out there today. Rain and 59 degrees out today. House cleaned today, ran the vacuum and dusted. Then straightened up the pantry. For Dinner tonight a Chicken, Bacon, Vermont Cheddar Cheese, Honey Mustard and Lettuce Hoagie w/ Baked Fries.

A Chicken, Bacon, Vermont Cheddar Cheese, Honey Mustard and Lettuce Hoagie sure sounded goods for Dinner tonight! I have seen a few on cooking shows recently and just thought it was time to have one. I’ll need a package of Thin Cut Chicken Breasts, Boar’s Head Vermont Cheddar, French’s Honey Mustard, Butter Lettuce, and a Meijer Perfection Wheat Mini Hoagie Bun.

I bought a package of Katie’s Best Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts at Meijer a day ago and I’ll be using those. To prepare them, this morning I removed a couple of them from the package and froze the remainder. I put the Chicken in a large Hefty Plastic Bag and added Buttermilk and Frank’s Hot sauce to bag. Squeezed the bag together making sure to fully cover both Chicken Breasts and sat the bag in the fridge to marinate until ready to use.

I turned the oven on to 400 degrees. Then to prepare the Chicken I first got a Cast Iron Skillet out. Added a 1 1/2 tablespoons of Extra Light Olive Oil to it and heated the skillet on medium heat. As the skillet was heating got the bag with Chicken marinating out of the fridge. Took the Chicken out of the bag and shook off the excess Buttermilk and Hot Sauce Marinade, I seasoned them with Salt and Pepper. I then put a couple of tablespoons of Flour, that I Seasoned with Paprika, a in pie pan and rolled the Chicken Breasts in the Flour, making sure both sides were covered with the Flour.

With the Cast Iron heated I added the Chicken Breasts. Cooked them 2 minutes a side and then finished them off in the oven. I flipped them over 1 more time and continued to cook them until I had a temperature reading of 165°F. As I removed them from the oven I added a slice of Boar’s Head Vermont Cheddar Cheese to them. The Chicken came out Golden Brown!

To make my Hoagie I’ll need Bacon, Vermont Cheddar Cheese (already added), Honey Mustard, Lettuce, and the Wheat Hoagie Buns. I used Smithfield Hickory Smoked Bacon that I had fried earlier this afternoon. I only needed about about 2 slices per Hoagie but as always when frying Bacon you have to double the amount you prepare because you end up eating half of what you fix!

So I split the Hoagie Buns in 1/2. On the bottom Bun I added the Honey Mustard putting a nice slathering across the Bun. I love that word slathering, it just sounds like something good is coming! So then I added the Lettuce, the Cheese topped Chicken Breast, the Bacon, and the top Bun. The Hoagie was delicious!

To go with Hoagie I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries, served with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Health Benefits of Chicken Breast
Chicken breast is an excellent source of low-fat protein. Protein helps your body to maintain muscle mass and also helps you to build muscle if you are participating in a strength program. Chicken breast is also a very good source of selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, and niacin.

Today’s Menu: “Not So Sloppy” Turkey Joes w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

For Breakfast I made my Skillet Potatoes and Diced 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 topped it with Sargento Off the Block Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 44 degrees and partly sunny outside today. Took Mom’s car and then my car over to the car wash up the road, long line of cars getting washed today. Back home I grabbed the Windex, paper towel and the indoor car window squeegee and I cleaned the inside windows of both cars. That’s enough for today! For dinner tonight it was a Comfort Food Sandwich! I prepared some “Not So Sloppy” Turkey Joes w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.

I used my favorite Sloppy Joe Mix, the Hormel Not-So-Sloppy-Joe Sloppy Joe Sauce. I love this Sauce and it’s ingredients! It’s a nice thick Sauce that’s seasoned just right. Which is why they call it Not So Sloppy, it’s thicker than other Sauces and doesn’t drip as much. The Sauce is seasoned with Spices, Onions, Green Peppers among other ingredients (70 calories and 15 carbs per serving). I’ll also be using Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast (120 calories per serving) and Aunt Millie’s Reduced Fat Hamburger Buns, which I actually found a package at Meijer last week.

So to prepare it; I started by frying the Ground Turkey. I used a large skillet; sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray and added a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Heated it on medium heat. Added the Ground Turkey and seasoned it with Sea Salt, Ground Roasted Cumin, Cilantro Flakes. Stirred and cooked until no longer pink, added the jar of Not So Sloppy Joe sauce. Stirred until heated through. Served on Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Hamburger Bun. Love these! The Sauce combined with the Jennie – O Turkey is a perfect match.

For a side I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries, served with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s of Hanover Waffle Pretzels along with a Sprite Zero to drink.

Hormel Not-So-Sloppy-Joe Sloppy Joe Sauce

Richer and Thicker and Far From Ordinary
Not-So-Sloppy-Joe® sloppy joe sauce is as distinctive as its name. Not-So-Sloppy-Joe® sloppy joe sauce has a hint of barbecue flavor and is richer and thicker than other sloppy joe sauces.

Since its beginning in 1985, there’s been one very graphic way to show the thick and rich texture of Not-So-Sloppy-Joe® sloppy joe sauce: the “drip test.” When you hold up a sloppy joe made with Not-So-Sloppy-Joe® sloppy joe sauce, there are no drips. It’s that rich and thick.
