Today’s Menu: Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo

For Breakfast this morning I had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 87 degrees and very humid out today, passing showers. After my Tea I headed to Kroger. First time I’ve been to the store in a while. Yesterday was the best day I’ve had in a while. It was 3 weeks ago yesterday that the accident happened. They said it would take 3-4 weeks to heal and they were right. Hopefully back to 100% soon! For Dinner tonight I prepared a personal favorite, Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo.

Gumbo is always one of my favorite meals, the Rice, Spices, Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage makes the perfect Gumbo! Plus the leftovers are just as good if not better! To make it I used a box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Dinner Mix for the Gumbo base, 1 1/2 Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausages (sliced into bite size slices), a bag of Meijer Brand Jumbo Shrimp and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I precooked the Sausage and Shrimp, according to the package instructions, before adding it to the Gumbo.

It’s very easy to prepare, it takes about 25-30 minutes. To start; I just boil the stock that’s in the packet, add the sliced Turkey Sausage to the stock along with a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce and continued to cook for 10-15 minutes. Then I added the Shrimp and simmered for another 2-3 minutes. And the Gumbo is ready to serve and It turns out fantastic! Nice flavor, incredible tasting stock, meaty Shrimp and Sausage, and plenty of Rice, makes one easily prepared hearty and delicious dish. Plus enough leftovers for a couple of lunches also. I love this Gumbo! Then for Dessert/Snack later a 100Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Pretzels with a Coke Zero to drink.

Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix
Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix is a flavorful foundation of long grain rice in a rich, seasoned roux with red and green bell peppers. Just add one pound of cooked chicken, smoked sausage or seafood, cut into bite size pieces and dinner is ready in just 30 minutes.

For Breakfast this morning I had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. 92 degrees and 7unny out, high humidity. Well my morning didn’t start off very good. I went out at 7:10 this morning to get the paper. I wasn’t thinking and started to pick the paper up while facing downhill, bad choice. The chair lunged forward and I cam out of the chair and rolled down the hill a bit. My neighbor seen it and called 911 and the came out and helped me back up to the chair. I had a lot of blood from my arm, elbow and knee. My Knee was busted real good. But they patched me up and I was almost fine. I’m really sore right now though. Dumb mistake on my part, I know better than to do that! Anyway to sore to put out a lot of effort so it’s Leftovers tonight! For my Dinner tonight I reheat the Leftover Shrimp and Tukey Sausage Gumbo from the other night. I’ve left the original post from the other night for description.

Today’s Menu: Shrimp w/ Pasta Roni – Angel Hair Pasta with Herbs

To start this day off I fried an Egg Sunny Side Up, heated up 3 slices of Ham, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Wheat Bread, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Good Breakfast for having as rough as early morning as I did. About 4:30 this morning some really painful Phantom Pains hit and continued to about 10:00 this morning. These were really painful! So I was pretty much beat for the day. 74 degrees, overcast, and humid out today. Rain moving in later this evening. After Breakfast I watered all the plants and bushes out front. Cleaned off the deck and I was done for the day. Just rested and caught up on some sleep. For Dinner tonight a favorite of mine, Shrimp w/ Pasta Roni.

So for the Shrimp part of the dish I used Meijer Brand Frozen Jumbo Shrimp. This is my frozen Shrimp of choice, best I’ve found. I had them in the freezer so I let them thaw overnight in the fridge. I love Shrimp and all Seafood. For the Shrimp; I started by rinsing the Shrimp off in cold water and letting it dry in a colander. Using a medium size skillet, that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and a 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, that I heated on medium heat. I seasoned them with Old Bay Seasoning and a sprinkle of Morton’s Lite Salt and added the Shrimp to the skillet. Cooked them 2 minutes per side, turning the Shrimp once. And as the Shrimp was cooking I started to prepare the Pasta.

I love having Shrimp with the Pasta Roni – Angel Hair Pasta with Herbs. It comes with the Pasta Special Seasonings Packet and I added; 1 1/3 cups of water, 2/3 cups of 2% milk, and 2 tablespoons of Blue Bonnet Light Butter. Then to prepare it; In a medium saucepan bring water, milk, margarine or butter to a boil. Then slowly stir in pasta and Special Seasonings. Separate pasta with a fork, if needed. Return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Boil uncovered, 4-5 min. or until pasta is just tender, stirring frequently. Sauce will be thin. Let stand 3-5 min. to thicken. There’s 2 servings per box, leftovers coming tomorrow for Lunch. Nice seasoning, the Pasta is so tender, and the Parmesan Sauce is very flavorful. I topped the Pasta with some Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese and the Shrimp. Too good, this makes one easily prepared and delicious Shrimp and Pasta Dish! For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Mango/Tea Snapple to drink.

Today’s Menu: Fried Shrimp w/ Potato Pancakes and Baked Garlic Bread Loaf

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. 58 degrees and rain all day! Gloomy out all day, not a good day for my Sinuses. I had a headache most of the day. All I did was rest. for Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Shrimp w/ Potato Pancakes and Baked Garlic Bread Loaf.

While at Meijer last week I picked up some Black Tiger Shrimp. We haven’t had Black Tiger Shrimp in a while and it sounded good! For the Breading I’m using Zatarain’s Fish Fri Crispy Southern Mix.

To prepare the Shrimp I rinsed them 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 Cooking Olive Oil. Fried each side for about 2 minutes, until a golden brown. The Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri is perfect for Seafood!

So for a side I prepared some Manischewitz Potato Pancake Mix, my favorite (Never made a cake I didn’t like!). Just add 2 Egg Beater’s (1/2 Cup), 2 1/4 Cups Water, to the mix stir and fry! Easy and makes one good Potato Pancake and their only 80 calories and 18 carbs per serving (3 Potato Pancakes). The whole family loves these Potato Pancakes! I served them with a side of Daisy Light Sour Cream. They turn out so good and easy to reheat the leftovers, perfect for Breakfast.

I also baked a loaf of the New York Bakery Garlic Loaf Bread. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Cherry Jello.
