Today’s Menu: Buffalo Cheese Burger w/ Baked Fries

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. 46 degrees and sunny out today. ! Went to Wendy’s and picked up Breakfast for Mom. After Lunch I went to a few of the Used Car lots here in West Chester. I’m looking for a new/used car. Not sure on which one I’m going with. I would like a SUV or a Jeep model, something I can get my wheelchair in and out easier than a car. Just taking my time. For Dinner tonight I prepared a 4oz. Buffalo Cheese Burger and Baked Fries.

As always when it’s a Buffalo Burger I’m using the Wild Idea Buffalo Burger Patties. I’m having the new 4 oz. Possible Burger. Same great taste and quality but these are 4 oz. Just love all the Buffalo Burgers; meaty, juicy and just flat out delicious! Preheated up a skillet that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil, seasoned my Burger with the Wild Idea Omnivore Salt. I then pan fried it about 3 minutes per side, and done. After I flipped the Burger I added a slice of Kraft Deli Style Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I’m serving it on a Healthy Life Wheat Hamburger Bun. This is the 2nd time having these, they are a smaller Burger but seem even juicer!

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 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s of Pretzels along with a Sprite Free to drink.

Panko Crusted Orange Roughy Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries

For Breakfast this morning I toasted Thomas Light English Muffin that I topped with Smucker’s Sugar Free Blackberry Jam and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cold and windy out this morning. We had a high of 42 degrees but the wind chill was in the low 30’s all day. I gathered some canned goods from the pantry and in the kitchen that we don’t need or use. I took them over to the local Food Bank and dropped them off. On the way back I stopped by my Cousin’s house for a short visit. Back home did a few chores around the house. For Dinner tonight its a Panko Crusted Orange Roughy Fish Sandwich w/ Baked Fries.

I had picked up a couple of Orange Roughy Fillets at Jungle Jim’s International Market last week. I rinsed the fillets off in cold water and then sliced the fillets into sandwich size slices, and had them in the freezer. I sat a fillet in the fridge overnight to thaw. To make it I’ll need; the Orange Roughy Fillet, McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, Flour, Egg Beater’s (1/2 cup), Hungarian Paprika, and Shake and Bake Panko Bread Crumbs. I’ll serve it on a Healthy Life Wheat Hamburger Bun. I first Seasoned the Fillet with the McCormick Grinders of Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Next I seasoned the Flour with the added Hungarian Paprika. Then rolled the Fillet in the Flour, next to the Egg Beater’s, and finally in the Panko Bread Crumbs.

I grabbed a skillet, sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray, added 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil, and heated the skillet on medium heat. With the skillet heated I added my Fillet. I fried it for 3 minutes per side. It fried up perfect! Golden Brown on the outside and a moist center. I served it on the Healthy Life Bun. Orange Roughy has such a good taste to it, it’s a very mild Fish. Makes the perfect Fish Sandwich!

As my Orange Roughy was cooking I turned the oven on to 425 degrees and baked my Fries. I used Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries. Like all the Ore Ida Products, they are easy to prepare and delicious. I just baked them for 19 minutes and done! Served them with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. For Dessert later a bowl of Breyer’s Carb Smart Chocolate Ice Cream.

Orange Roughy Fillet

Orange Roughy
The orange roughy, also known as the red roughy, slimehead and deep sea perch, is a relatively large deep-sea fish belonging to the slimehead family. The UK Marine Conservation Society has categorized orange roughy as “vulnerable to exploitation”. Wikipedia

Protein. Orange roughy and tilapia serve as a rich source of protein, although tilapia provides slightly more; tilapia has 45.5 grams per serving and orange roughy has 38.9 grams per serving. The protein in these varieties of fish is considered complete, meaning that they contain all nine essential amino acids.

Today’s Menu: Sharp Cheddar and Bacon Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries

To start my day off I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 20 degrees out this morning, but no new snow overnight! First time in a while. I had to have Mom out to Ross, Ohio for her 2nd Covid Virus Vaccine shot. Her appointment was at 10:00 but we got there at 9:15 so she could get in line early. Good thing we did as the line later stretched through the store! I waited outside and there was just a steady stream of people going in. All were elderly so there was a lot of canes, walkers and wheelchairs. So glad that the elderly are getting theirs finally. So for Dinner tonight its a Sharp Cheddar and Chicken Bacon Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries.

So I started by getting a skillet and spraying it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and heating it on medium heat. For the Bacon I’m using al fresco Uncured Chicken Bacon. It fries up perfect with an excellent taste. I buy it at Meijer, it’s the only store I’ve found to carry it. I need 2 slices but fried 5 slices. Always remember when frying Bacon use the Bacon Math. Just decide how many slices you’ll need and double it or so. Because, at least when I fry Bacon, you end up eating as much as you fix as you’re preparing it!

I had bought a package of the Jennie – O Lean 93% Lean Turkey Burger Patties at Meijer and had them in the freezer. I grabbed a couple of them last night and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. To prepare the Burger I grabbed a skillet sprayed it the Pam and added 2 teaspoons of Extra Light Olive Oil, heated it on medium heat. When ready I added the Turkey Burger and cooked it for 14 minutes flipping it several times. With a minute of cooking time left I added a slice of Kraft Deli Deluxe Sharp Cheddar Cheese. And done!

Added the Bacon, Lettuce, some Hellman’s Spicy Chipotle Mayonnaise and served it on a Healthy Life Wheat Bun. Just love these Burgers, juicy and delicious, and with the Sharp Cheddar and Bacon it makes it that much better! I love this Mayo, you have to try it! I tried the Hellman’s Spicy Chipotle Mayonnaise on the last Turkey Burger and loved it! It’s nice and Creamy with excellent flavor and a nice little kick to it!

I also baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries. I just baked them for 19 minutes and done! Served them with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Today’s Menu: Broiled Lobster Tail, Sea Salt Rubbed Buffalo Tri Tip Steaks and Baked Steak Fries

For Breakfast this morning I toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin and topped it with Smucker’s Sugar Free Blackberry Jam. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Woke up to a couple of inches of new snow. But that is only the start of it! They say we will have 9-11 inches of snow by Tuesday morning! Add that to 4 or 5 inches we had on the ground and you’re talking a lot of snow, especially for this area. But nothing you can do but sit back and wait. I just wish we weren’t living on a hill and the driveway wasn’t a hill it’s self. None of it good for a guy in a wheelchair! Enough rambling, for Dinner tonight I prepared Broiled Lobster Tail, Sea Salt Rubbed Buffalo Tri Tip Steaks and Baked Steak Fries.

Mom loves Lobster so I ordered a box of 8 1/4 lb Lobster Tails from Luke’s Lobster. Luke’s is where I had ordered the Lobster Rolls from, which were incredible! I was hoping to get them the day before her Birthday last Friday but they didn’t arrive until late Saturday. So I’m preparing a couple of them tonight. They were frozen so I had laid a couple of them in the fridge to thaw overnight.

To prepare them I used a sharp knife, halve each lobster tail lengthwise, cutting almost all the way through the soft side, and pulled gently at each side to laid the lobster flat in a small boiler pan. Next I heated the broiler to 450. Place lobster tails seasoned side up. Cooked them until the meat became opaque white and the shell turned bright red, cooked for about 9 minutes. Brushed with melted butter and they were ready to eat. They were so delicious and had such good flavor. We’ll be having these again, we have 6 left!

Then I had ordered a couple of packages of Wild Idea Buffalo – JILL’S SEA SALT RUBBED TRI-TIP STEAKS while they were on sale. Having a package tonight for Dinner. I had them in the freezer and sat them in the fridge to thaw overnight. It comes packaged as 2 – 4 oz. steaks per package and it’s already Seasoned with Organic: Olive Oil, Sea Salt, Lemon Juice, Black Pepper, Sage, Thyme, Rosemary, Garlic, and Onion Powder.

To prepare it I preheated the oven to 400°. In a Cast Iron Skillet that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and added a tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil to, I heated it over medium high heat. When ready I added my Steaks to it. I cooked the Steaks 1 minute each side. I just wanted a light sear on both sides. Then I moved the Skillet on to the preheated Oven and Roasted it for about 4 minutes. Removed the Skillet from the Oven and placed the Steaks on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before cutting. The Tri -Tip Steak was super tender and juicy. I had cooked to a medium rare and it came perfect! Topped it with a side of Sauteed Mushrooms.

For a side I baked some Ore Ida Steak Fries and had a side of Hunt’s Ketchup for dipping. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. 35 degrees and mostly cloudy out today. ! Went to McDonald’s and picked up Breakfast for Mom.

Today’s Menu: Panko Crispy Turkey Tenderloins w/ Baked Fries

For Breakfast I heated up the leftover Biscuits and Gravy. Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. It snowed a couple of inches overnight. Then this morning it started raining, which got rid of most of the snow, high of 39 degrees. More snow coming though. There’s not a thing to do today, I’m all caught up on housework, laundry and such. So it was kick back TV and Crossword day! For Dinner tonight I prepared Panko Crispy Turkey Tenderloins w/ Baked Fries.

I purchased a package of JENNIE-O® Extra Lean Boneless Turkey Breast Tenderloins on my last visit to Meijer. There’s only 120 calories, 1 gram of fat and 0 carbs per serving! I looked around at different recipes and I combined a couple of ideas from a few of them to prepare the Tenderloins tonight. I’m making Panko Crispy Turkey Tenderloins. To make these I’ll be needing 1/3 cup Low Fat Buttermilk, 3/4 teaspoon (or more) of Frank’s Hot Sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of Garlic Powder, 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder, Sea Salt, 1 package of JENNIE-O® Extra Lean Boneless Turkey Breast Tenderloins (sliced into smaller strips), Extra Light Olive Oil for frying, 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoons Hungarian Paprika, Grinder Black Peppercorn, 2 cups Progresso Panko Breadcrumbs, 1 1/2 tablespoons Chile Powder, and 2 Large Eggs or Egg Beater’s which is what I used.

Then to prepare them; You’ll be needing 3 bowls. Whisk the Buttermilk, Hot Sauce, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Sea salt in a small bowl. Place the sliced Turkey in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the Buttermilk Marinade. I refrigerated them for 3 hours.

When ready I got a large cast-iron skillet and added3 tablespoons of the Olive Oil to it and heated it on medium heat. As the skillet was heating I put the Flour in a bowl and seasoned it with the Paprika and Sea Salt and Pepper. I then put the Panko in another bowl and season it with the Chile powder and Salt and Pepper. And finally I poured the Egg Beater’s in the last bowl.

I removed the Turkey from the Marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. I dredged the Turkey first in the Flour, then in the Egg Beater’s and finally coat them with the Panko. With the cast iron skillet heated I fried the turkey in batches, always being careful not to overcrowd the skillet, until golden brown and an instant read thermometer inserted into the center read 160 degrees. I fried them 3 minutes per side.

Hey Chicken Tenders, you just got replaced! These came out so delicious! They came out Golden Brown, Tender and so Flavorful. The Spices worked perfect and the Panko Breadcrumbs gave it a fantastic crunch. I served these with some Blue Cheese Dressing for dipping. We have found a new Keeper Recipe! I also baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Cut Fries. Then for Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Today’s Menu: Sharp Cheddar Cheese Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries

To start my morning I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread, and made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 36 degrees and rain, and a whole lot of it! I seen a couple of houses up the street where the ambulance stopped and to take people off to the hospital. Bad way to start the week off! Did a couple of loads of laundry after Breakfast. Then after Lunch I had to go to Kroger and Pick Up my Grocery Order. A lot safer to order on line and then they deliver to your car. Back home all caught up today. Caught up on some shows I had recorded. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Sharp Cheddar Cheese Ground Pork Burger w/ Baked Fries.

I first fried about 5 slices of al fresco Chicken Bacon. I love using this Bacon, fries up perfect and only 35 calories for 2 slices. I sat aside until I added to the Burger. I only needed I only needed 2 slices but using the Bacon math you should always make double the amount. You have to have some eat as your preparing everything!

I bought a 1 lb. package of Ground Pork at Meijer the other day. With a 1 lb. package of Ground Pork you can easily get 4-5 Burgers. To make them I got a large bowl and added the Pork. I then added all the Spices; Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cumin, Mustard Powder, Dried Cilantro Leaves. I mixed the Spices with the Ground Pork until well mixed. Don’t overwork the Pork, you don’t want to break the Pork down. Next just form the Pork Mixture into Burgers. To cook the Burgers I’m using a large Cast Iron Skillet. I first sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray and added 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, heated the Skillet on medium heat. When the Skillet was heated up I added my Burgers.

After 3 minutes flip the burgers. Continued cooking for 6-8 minutes more. Flipped one more time, cover and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked through. If you’re adding on Cheese, go ahead and do so with about a minute before removing from them pan. I’m using Kraft Deli Style Sharp Cheddar. When cooking Pork Burgers, you want to make sure that they are cooked all the way through. Which means taking them to 160 degrees internally. I served the Burgers on Healthy Life Whole Grain Hamburger Buns. The Burgers were topped with Sharp Cheddar Cheese, al fresco Chicken Bacon and Hellman’s Organic Mayonnaise – Spicy Chipotle. One delicious Burger!

To go with the Burger I 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 Trop A Rocka Diet Snapple to drink.

Today’s Menu: Fish Sandwich Fillet Sandwich w/ Baked Tater Tots

To start my day off I toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin and topped it with Smucker’s Sugar Free Blackberry Jam. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 38 degrees, cloudy and windy outdoors today. After Breakfast I had to go the bank and then stopped by Wendy’s and picked up Breakfast for Mom. Back home it was Straighten the Pantry Day. Cleaned and straightened everything and checked expiration dates on everything. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Fish Sandwich Fillet Sandwich w/ Baked Tater Tots.

I haven’t had a Fish Sandwich and Tater Tots in a while and it sounded good for tonight’s Dinner! I used Van De Kamps – Fish Sandwich Fillets for my Fish, which I haven’t had in quite some time. Very easy to prepare. Removed the Fish from the plastic pouch. Heated the oven at 425 degrees. Placed the Frozen Fish Fillets in a single layer evenly on a baking sheet. Place the pan on the oven rack. Bake uncovered 21 minutes. I turned the Fish Fillets over halfway through baking.

These turned out perfect! Golden Brown and nice Flavor to them. I topped the Fish with a slice of Kraft Deli Style Sharp Cheddar Cheese and served it on a Healthy Life Wheat Hamburger Bun.

I also baked some Ore Ida Tater Tots as I was baking the Fish. Just baked at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes and done! The Tater Tots come out golden brown and delicious! I served them with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Pretzels with a Diet Mango/Tea Snapple to drink.

Today’s Menu: Buffalo Cheese Burger and Fries

For Breakfast this morning I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, heated up 2 Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage links and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 38 degrees, cloudy and windy out today. Did a load of laundry after Breakfast. I took the bathroom door off its hinges. I replaced the old hinges with some new ones that I had ordered on line. The door would not stay open. It would gradually go shut. The new hinges worked, problem solved! Took some measurements for some wood trim around the floor board and corners of the wall that need replaced. I banged it up back when I first got my Hoveround Mobility Chair. That was my day. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Buffalo Cheese Burger and Baked Fries.

As always when it’s a Buffalo Burger I’m using the Wild Idea Buffalo 1/3-Lb Burgers. Just love these Buffalo Burgers; meaty, juicy and just flat out delicious! Preheated up a skillet that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray, seasoned my Burger with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I then pan fried it about 3 1/2 minutes per side, and done. After I flipped the Burger I added a slice of Kraft Deli Style Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I’m serving it on a Healthy Life Wheat Hamburger Bun.

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 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s of Hanover Mini Pretzel Sticks along with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.
