Today’s Menu: Buttermilk Marinated Chicken Thighs w/ Cut Green Beans, Diced Potatoes, and Glazed Apples
For Breakfast This morning I toasted a Thomas Light English Muffin that I topped with Smucker’s Sugar Free Blackberry Jam. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea.
Big change in our Weather, Fall is really here! We had a high of 59 degrees, mostly sunny and very windy. The winds kept the temperatures feeling like 50 degrees. The low overnight will be in the 30’s, times are a changin! Anyway after Breakfast I did a load of laundry for Mom. Mom slept most of the day, upset stomach and just not feeling real good. So I took good care of her today. For Dinner tonight I prepared Buttermilk Marinated Chicken Thighs w/ Cut Green Beans, Diced Potatoes, and Glazed Apples.
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.
I usually prepare the Thin Sliced Chicken Breast with Buttermilk Marinade. But what is good for the Breasts is good for the Thighs! So Chicken Thighs it is. 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 a side I heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. Just empty the can into a sauce pan and heat until heated through. I just love Green Beans, all Beans!
For another side it was Del Monte Diced New Potatoes. I’ve had these many times and as always, delicious! To prepare these; empty the Potatoes into a small sauce pan and heat
on medium heat until heated through.
I also heated up some Bob Evan’s Glazed Apples, it comes in a microwavable container and is a quick and delicious way to have Glazed Apples. Apples are perfect for any Pork dish!
Quite a dinner tonight! For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple.

Today’s Menu: Buttermilk Marinated Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts w/ Fried Potatoes and Green Beans
I skipped Breakfast this morning. I got up around 6:30 this morning and got a few things done around the house including a load of laundry. Then it was off to Kroger for Mom and
our neighbor. Then I went to Meijer for everything else. I noticed that Kroger is back to mandatory face mask to enter, so far Meijer isn’t. There seems to be a lot of people in the hospital with it. Sure hope it gets better soon. For Dinner tonight I prepared Buttermilk Marinated Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts w/ Fried Potatoes and Green Beans.
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

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 one side we had Fried Potatoes! I’m using Medium Size Red Potatoes. To prepare them; first wash the Whole Potatoes and dry them with a paper towel. Then slice each Potato
into thin slices and slit each slice at least 4 times. Next grab a Cast Iron Skillet and add 1 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil and heat the Skillet on medium high.
With the skillet heated add the Potatoes. After adding the Potatoes add your Seasoning, we just used Salt and Pepper. Then fry until the Potatoes start to turn brown. Then flip
them with a spatula and continue frying until done. I love these Potatoes and they are so easy to prepare.
For a 2nd side I prepared a quart jar of our canned Green Beans. So glad to have so many quarts of canned Green Beans. Just heat them up and they taste like they were just
picked, delicious! For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Stick Pretzels with a Coke Zero to drink.

Today’s Menu: Buttermilk Marinated Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts w/ Fried Potatoes and Green Beans
To start today off I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 84 degrees, a bit more humid and passing rain showers out today. Not a lot going on today. Caught up on few things
around the house and outside. I had the cart out just riding around and a man around the corner had an almost new push mower he had sitting at the end of his driveway, he had a sign on it free. He told me it was like new and started real easy. So I took it on home. Of course being in a wheelchair I can’t use it. But the guy that mows our grass came up and took it. He mowed our yard with it and it ran great! The blades were really sharp on it. So that was my good deed for Sunday! So for Dinner tonight I prepared Buttermilk Marinated Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts w/ Fried Potatoes and Green Beans.
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.

Today’s Menu: Catfish Nuggets w/ Fried Potatoes and Cut Green Beans
To start this morning off I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Wheat Bread, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. A great way to start
the day. 94 degrees, sunny, and humid. We had a heat index of 105 degrees out. Good day to stay in which is what I did. I needed to rest and get caught up on sleep. I fought with Phantom Pains from late yesterday afternoon until about 5:00 this morning. I had little to no sleep. Good day to stay in. For Dinner tonight its Catfish Nuggets w/ Fried Potatoes and Cut Green Beans.
I had bought the Catfish Nuggets from Kroger and had them in the freezer. I sat the bag in the fridge overnight to thaw. To prepare them I rinsed the Catfish Nuggets off in cold
water and patted dry with a paper towel. Seasoned them with Sea Salt. Then put them in a Hefty Plastic Storage Bag and added Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri Breading Mix, shook the bag until all the Nuggets were coated. Then pan fried them in a medium size skillet in Extra Light Olive Oil. Fried each side for about 3 1/2 minutes, until a golden brown. The Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri is perfect for the Catfish, great flavor and the Nuggets were good size and meaty.
For one side we had Fried Potatoes! I’m using Medium Size Red Potatoes. To prepare them; first wash the Whole Potatoes and dry with a paper towel.

Catfish
The most commonly eaten species in the United States are the channel catfish and the blue catfish, both of which are common in the wild and increasingly widely farmed. Farm-raised catfish became such a staple of the diet of the United States that on 25 June 1987, President Ronald Reagan established National Catfish Day to recognize “the value of farm-raised catfish.”
Catfish is eaten in a variety of ways. In Europe it is often cooked in similar ways to carp, but in the United States it is popularly crumbled with cornmeal and fried.… Wikipedia

Today’s Menu: Green Beans, Sweet Corn, Potatoes and Cornbread
Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. High of 76 degrees, mostly sunny and windy out today. A beautiful day to start this 4th of July Weekend! I went to Kroger for
Mom after my Tea. Then I stopped by the bank for her and picked up Breakfast at McDonald’s for her. Back home I did a little yard work and then just enjoyed this beautiful day! Rode the cart around the neighborhood. Later gave a neighbor a hand painting his deck. I’m starting a new tradition, Meatless Friday. At least for this Friday! I prepared Green Beans, Sweet Corn, Potatoes and Cornbread.
When we went to Jungle Jim’s last week we loaded up on Vegetables and Fruits. So Mom had prepared some of the 1/2 Runner Green Beans yesterday. So I’m heating up the
leftovers for my Dinner tonight.
For the Corn, we purchased a dozen Ears of Yellow and White Sweetcorn. For that I boiled an Ear of it until done. Then when ready to eat I sliced the Kernels of Corn off and served
it like that.
For the Potatoes, they were Russet Potatoes that we purchased at Jungle Jim’s also. Mom had already prepared those by peeling them, slicing, and boiling. I just reheat them and
serve. Seasoned with Salt, Pepper, and Butter.
Finally for the Cornbread, Mom had prepared that yesterday. So I just heated that up and cut a slice of it, added Butter and ready to eat. So I got off pretty easy, I just heated
everything up and served! I like going Meatless on a Friday, at least this Friday1 For Dessert later a 90 Calorie Cup of Breyer’s Chocolate Ice Cream. Stay Safe Everyone!

Repotted some flowers Mom had bought into her pots on the deck. Next I got the Shop – Vac out and vacuumed my car and Mom’s. Then I took apart the battery cordless vacuum. It wasn’t picking up very good so I took off all the hoses an d cleaned them out, which they needed badly! Then I took out the brushes and cleaned them. It works great now! For Dinner tonight I prepared a Cast Iron Skillet Sea Salt Herb Rubbed Tri-Tip Buffalo Steak w/ Sauteed Mushrooms and Baked Potato.

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 on 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.

Today’s Menu: Fried Chicken Thighs w/ Fried Potatoes and Canned Green Beans
To start this Thursday morning off I prepared a Breakfast Sandwich using al fresca Chicken Sausage Patty, Egg White Patty, 1/2 slice of Kraft Deli Deluxe Sharp Cheddar Cheese, all
served on a Thomas Light English Muffin. The Egg White Patty is something new I tried from Good Food Made Simple. If you come across these, give them a try! They are very good and only 35 calories and 2 carbs per patty! I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. High of 61 degrees with rain showers moving in later. Lot of rain here lately. After Breakfast I took Mom to a local Plant and Tree Nursery. She bought a couple of Hanging Baskets of Flowers. Back home did a few things around the house. So for Dinner tonight one of our favorite meals, Fried Chicken Thighs w/ Fried Potatoes and Canned Green Beans.
We just can’t seem to have Fried Chicken Thighs without Fried Potatoes and Green Beans! I had the Chicken Thighs in the freezer and grabbed a package last night and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. To prepare them I’ll just need Flour, Morton’s Lite Salt, Ground Pepper, and Extra Light Olive Oil. I think the trio of Fried Chicken Thighs, Fried Potatoes, and Canned Green Beans were meant to be together, one of our favorite meals!
I got a large Cast Iron Skillet, sprayed it with a light coat of Pam Non Stick Spray, added 1 1/2 tablespoons of Extra Light Olive Oil, and heated it on medium heat. As the skillet was
heating I got a pie pan out and put 2 tablespoons of Flour in it. Next I got the Chicken Thighs out of the package and seasoned them with Salt and Pepper and rolled them in the Flour. With the skillet heated I added the Thighs to the skillet and put a lid on the skillet. Fried the Thighs for about 9 minutes and then flipped them over, put the lid back on the skillet to cook another 7 minutes. As the Chicken Thighs were cooking I got out a second Cast Iron Skillet, sprayed it, added the Olive Oil and let it preheat on medium heat. Then I washed and cut the Potatoes for the Fried Potatoes.
For one side we had Fried Potatoes, which I picked up at Meijer the other day. I love these and Mom makes the best! I bought a bag of Medium Size Red Potatoes, which we’ll be using. To prepare them; first wash the Whole Potatoes and dry with a paper towel. Next grab a Cast Iron Skillet and add 1 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil and heat the Skillet on medium high.
With the skillet heated add the Potatoes. After adding the Potatoes add your Seasoning, we just used Salt and Pepper. Then fry until the Potatoes start to turn brown. Then flip them with a spatula and continue frying until done. I love these Potatoes and they are so easy to prepare.
I had opened up a quart jar of Canned Green Beans and had them already cooking. I love these Green Beans. They always taste so fresh! Just heat them up in a large sauce pan and serve. One delicious Dinner as always when having the Chicken Thighs! For Dessert/Snack later I had a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Today’s Menu: Fried Oysters w/ Baked Potato and Texas Toast
For Breakfast this morning I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 71 degrees and mostly sunny out there today, another beautiful day! I had to be back at my Family Doctor at
1:15 this afternoon. My sugar came back a bit out of whack. He wants increase my Metformin to a higher dosage but I told him I wanted to retake the in 2 months to see if it’s better or the same. I think something was wrong with reading. We’ll see by the next testing. Back home, got the cart out of the shed and did a few things around the yard. For Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Oysters w/ Baked Potato and Texas Toast.
Fried Oysters, Baked Potato, and Texas Toast, always one of my favorite meals! As usual I used Hilton’s Fresh Farm Raised Pacific Willapoint Oysters, my favorite. To prepare them;
Place shucked oysters in a colander rinse in cold water and drain. Dredge drained Oysters in the Flour, then Egg Beater’s, and then in Panko Crumbs seasoned with Sea Salt and Pepper (coating each oyster thoroughly). Set aside to dry at least 1/2 hour. An easy way to coat the oysters with the Panko Crumbs is to place the Crumbs in a resealable plastic bag, add egg-dipped oysters, seal bag, and then shake.
Next, heat the Extra Light Olive Oil in a frying pan (I like to use my cast-iron frying pan) to 370 degrees F. or until quite hot. Fry oysters until golden brown on one side, then turn
over each Oyster carefully to brown the other side, approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side Fry oyster until golden brown and edges are curled. Do not overcook or overcrowd in frying pan. Remove from frying pan and serve immediately. Serve with Lemons Wedges, Tartar Sauce, Cocktail Sauce and/or your favorite hot sauce. I served mine with some McCormick’s Tarter Sauce with a side of my favorite hot sauce Frank’s Hot Sauce. These are so delicious, golden brown and with an incredible fresh flavor.
I had a baked Russet Potato for a side with the Oysters. Seasoned that with the McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, and topped with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.
Finally I baked a slice of New York Bakery Texas Toast. Love having the trio of Fried Oysters, Baked Potato, and a baked slice of Texas Toast! I always enjoy this Dinner. For
Dessert/Snack later a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
Pan-Fried Oysters Recipe:
Ingredients:
12 large-medium Oysters, shucked
1 tablespoon Flour
1 Eggs, beaten or 1/4 cup egg Beater’s
1 cup Shake and Bake Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs
Sea Salt and Pepper, to taste
2 to 3 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil
Lemon Wedges, optional
Hot sauce, optional
Seafood Cocktail Sauce, optional
Preparation:
Place shucked oysters in a colander to drain.
1 – Dip drained oysters in flour, then beaten eggs, shake off excess, and in panko crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper (coating each oyster thoroughly). Set aside to dry at least 1/2 hour. NOTE: An easy way to coat the oysters with the panko crumbs is to place the crumbs in a resealable plastic bag, add egg-dipped oysters, seal bag, and then shake.
2 – Heat canola oil in a frying pan (I like to use my cast-iron frying pan) to 370 degrees F. or until quite hot.
3 – Fry oysters until golden brown on one side, then turn over each oysters carefully to brown the other side, approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side Fry oyster until golden brown and edges are curled. Do not overcook or overcrowd in frying pan. Remove from frying pan and serve immediately.
Serve with Lemons Wedges, Tartar Sauce, Cocktail Sauce and/or your favorite hot sauce.
Makes 2 servings.

Today’s Menu: Baked Breaded Clams w/ Cheddar Potato Bake
For Breakfast on this sunny morning I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 54 degrees and sunny out,
another beautiful day! Got the 4 wheel cart out of the shed along with the leaf blower and rake. Cleaned off the deck and driveway areas. Then cleaned out the flower bed in the back of the house. Good to be out and active! For Dinner tonight it was Baked Breaded Clams w/ Cheddar Potato Bake.
To make tonight’s Dinner I’ll need the Microwave, the oven, and 1 small baking sheet. It doesn’t get much easier than that! So for the Clams I used a box of SeaPak Clam Strips. Preheat the oven on
425 degrees. I then lined a baking sheet with foil and sprayed it with a shot of Pam Cooking Spray. Placed the Clam Strips in a single layer on the sheet and baked them for 12 minutes, flipping them over after 7 minutes. These come out so delicious. Love these, very meaty strips, well seasoned, and easy to prepare. Had a side of McCormick’s Tarter Sauce, for dipping. Great product to have in the freezer for those days where you want something easy to prepare. Wow, such an easy Dinner to prepare, just bake and serve. Easy to prepare Dinners can also be a Delicious Dinner.
Then for a side I prepared a Stouffer’s Cheddar Potato Bake. Another easy to prepare and delicious dish. To prepare this one I’m using the microwave. It comes in a microwavable tray. I just slit the
film cover on the tray and microwaved it for 6 minutes, Done! I love this side by Stouffer’s! Delicious Potato Dish, really like the bread crumb topping. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.
