Today’s Menu: Italian Pasta Salad with Rotisserie Chicken

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea to start my day. 54 degrees to start the day with a high of 83 degrees and sunny. After my Tea I went to Meijer. I saw that they finally got some Jiff Peanut Butter back in stock, with a limit of 2 jars. All Jiff products have been off the shelves for a while because of a recall. Picked up a few sale items and a few things Mom wanted also. I stopped and picked up Breakfast for Mom on the way back and filled her car up with gas. Back home I watered the plants and lawn. Done for the day. For Dinner tonight I prepared an Italian Pasta Salad with Rotisserie Chicken.

I prepared a Italian Pasta Salad, made about noon today. It always taste even better after chilled for a while. A Light and tasty dish that includes Ronzoni Garden Delight Tri Color Rotini Pasta, Black Olives, Kalamata Olives, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Anchovies, Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese, Kraft Zesty Italian Fat Free Dressing, McCormick Italian Seasoning. Prepared the Pasta according to the box and added all the ingredients and tossed until well mixed. Then refrigerated until ready to use.

Boiled the Pasta for 10 minutes and drained it. After it cooled I seasoned and added it with the Black Olives, Kalamata Olives, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Anchovies, Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese, Kraft Zesty Italian Fat Free Dressing, McCormick Italian Seasoning. I can’t wait to dig in!

While at Meijer earlier this morning I picked up a Rotisserie Whole Chicken. We love Rotisserie Chicken, delicious and easy to prepare. When it was time for Dinner I heated the oven on 325 degrees. Got a small baking pan and sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray. Took the Chicken out of the package and into the baking pan. Reheat it for 30 minutes. After the Chicken cooled a bit I pulled all the Chicken from the bones and it was ready to serve!

To serve made a bed of the Pasta and topped it with Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese and some more of the Kraft Zesty Italian Fat Free Dressing. The Pasta Salad and Rotisserie Chicken are a perfect combination. The Kraft Italian Dressing provides some great flavor for the Pasta and the Rotisserie Chicken was seasoned perfectly! I enjoy Simple and Delicious Meals so much! For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Pretzels with a Coke Zero to drink.

Today’s Menu: Pulled Chicken Sandwich / Tossed Salad

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast this morning. It’s our coldest morning out there today! It was 5 degrees with a wind chill of minus 6 degrees! We had a high of 22 degrees with wind chills around 9 degrees, and we had sunshine out all day. I went out after my Tea and went to Wendy’s and picked up Breakfast for Mom. After Lunch I went over to where Mom is going to get her treatments. I had not been there before and I wanted to see how to get there. Back home just did some things around the house. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Pulled Chicken Sandwich / Tossed Salad.

We had plenty of of the Crockpot Chicken leftover so I’m using some of that to make my Sandwich. I had already pulled the remaining Chicken last night and had it in a large plastic container in the fridge. I heated up enough for a couple of Sandwiches.

I next toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Wheat Bread. Topped it with Kraft Mayo with Olive Oil. Then added a slice of Swiss Cheese and added the Chicken. One Delicious Sandwich!

For a side I had a Salad. I used Dole Salad, sliced a Boiled Egg, and topped it with Kraft Catalina Lite Dressing. Love this Dressing! For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Today’s Menu: Buttermilk Marinated Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts w/ Long Grain and Wild Rice and Tossed Salad

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea to start the day. After my Tea I headed to Kroger for a few items and picked up another bag of Salt for the driveway. We may get another Snow in the upcoming days so I wanted to be prepared. On the way back home I stopped at McDonald’s and picked up Breakfast for Mom and stopped and filled her car up with gas. After Lunch I went and had her car washed and stopped by a local Car Parts place and bought a new pair of wiper blades for her car and a pair for mine. Replaced them both after I got back home. For Dinner tonight I prepared Buttermilk Marinated Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts w/ Long Grain/Wild Rice and Tossed Salad.

I love Chicken, Rice, and a Salad, so good! 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.

To prepare the Thin Sliced Chicken Breast 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 Breast and rolled them in the Seasoned Flour until well covered.

Added the Chicken Breasts 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 delicious! Cooked up perfect, nice crust, and love the seasoning! Served it with Kraft Hickory Smoked BBQ Sauce for dipping.

For 1 side I prepared a packet of Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Long Grain and Wild. It comes in a microwavable bag. I microwaved it for 90 seconds and done! I guess my favorite among the Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice, all though I love using them all. An easy to fix item, just microwave for 90 seconds and it’s ready. I love Rice and it pairs perfectly with many Dishes.

I also had a Tossed Salad. I had a bag of Dole Greener Selection Salad. For the Salad Dressing I used Kraft Fat Free Classic Catalina Dressing along with a sprinkle of Oscar Mayer Real Bacon Pieces. For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Pretzels with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.

Today’s Menu: Leftover Buttermilk Marinated Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts w/ Long Grain/Wild Rice and Tossed Salad

Toasted a Thomas light English Muffin, Scrambled an Egg, heated up a Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Link and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea to start the day. Another cold morning out there, with a wind chill at 22 degrees! For the day it’s mostly sunny and we had a high of 43 degrees, but the wind chill kept it in the 20’s. After Lunch I went to Walmart and bought a couple of bags of Salt for the driveway in case we get snow Thursday. Right now they say about 2″ but we could get as high as 6″ depending on how the storm comes through. For Dinner tonight I heated up the Leftover Buttermilk Marinated Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts w/ Long Grain/Wild Rice and Tossed Salad. That Dinner last night was so good I just reheated all the Leftovers. It was just as good as the night before! I’ve left last night’s post below for instructions and description. Take Care and Stay Safe out there!

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.

Hickory Smoked Ham and Swiss Sandwich and Side Salad

Today’s Menu: Hickory Smoked Ham and Swiss Sandwich

For Breakfast this morning I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. High of 84 degrees, partly cloudy and a bit humid outside today. After my Tea I went to Wendy’s and picked up Breakfast for Mom. I dropped Breakfast off to Mom and I took her car to the shop and had her Oil Changed. Back home I did a few chores around the house. For Dinner tonight I had a Hickory Smoked Ham and Swiss Sandwich with a small Side Salad.

The other day at Meijer I bought a Kentucky Legend Hickory Smoked Ham. It was a small 4 1/4 lb. Ham, and it looked delicious as always! I’ve baked a couple of these now and really enjoy them. I had Cooked half of it last week and I’m having the other half for Dinner tonight.

To prepare it; Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the Kentucky Legend ham from the packaging and place it in a baking dish that’s at least 2 inches deep. Add enough water to just cover the bottom of the pan. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Crimp the edges of the foil tightly over the pan edges to prevent steam from escaping. Place the baking dish into the oven and heat the ham until a meat thermometer shows an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The amount of time this takes depends on the size and shape of the ham. Mine took 80 minutes. When the Ham is heated through, remove the baking pan from the oven. Leave the foil on the pan for 15 minutes to rest the meat before removing it and carving.

I then began slicing it, I sliced it somewhat thin. I’m using Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Wheat Bread and I’ll need Woeber’s Horseradish Mustard, Boar’s Head Imported Switzerland Swiss Cheese. I assembled my Sandwich, Ham, French’s Spicy Brown Mustard, served on Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread. What a Sandwich! The Ham is delicious and moist. Excellent Ham Sandwich! We had plenty of leftovers. I also had a Side Salad. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Cherry Jello.

It’s just too miserable outside to do too much of anything. 95 degrees, humid and those darn Cicadas are everywhere. It all adds up to not a very big appetite. So I went to Arby’s and picked me and Mom up a couple of Side Salads. It comes with Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Diced Tomato, Iceberg and Leaf Lettuce, and Marzetti Buttermilk Ranch Dressing. I switched dressing when I got it home and used Kraft Classic Catalina Lite Dressing. Take Care all!
