Today’s Menu: BBQ Marinated Pork Chop w/ Cut Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes, and Wheat Bread
Another very cold day outside again. It’s in the low 20’s but feels a lot colder with the wind chill, buts of sunshine to brighten it up a bit. I can’t believe another year has gone by! I just want to thank each and every one of you for all your views and comments throughout the year! Without WordPress I would have never had the chance to connect with all of you. Thank you again! So for dinner tonight i prepared a BBQ Marinated Pork Chop w/ Cut Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes, and Wheat Bread.
I had the Pork Chop in the freezer so I let it thaw overnight in the fridge. About noon I added some JB’s Fat Boy Haug Waush BBQ Sauce to a Hefty Zip Bag and added the Chop and let it marinate the rest of the day. When ready to prepare it I took it out of the bag, shaking off the excess. I then seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. i heated up a Cast Iron Skillet, sprayed with a little Pam Cooking Spray and added Canola Oil. When the Skillet and Oil was heated up I added my Chop to it. I fried it about 4 minutes or so per side, till the internal temperature reached 155 degrees. Nice size Chop and it came out moist with a fantastic flavor, love the JB’s Fat Boy Sauce!
For one side dish I heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans, my favorite canned Green Bean. Then I also heated up some Idahoan Mashed Potatoes. They come in a microwavable container; just add water and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. They come out perfect every time! I also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread. For dessert later a Jello Double Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
Thank you again for a lot of fun throughout the year, have a fun and safe New Years Eve!
That Cheesecake Craving!
September 5, 2013 at 5:32 PM | Posted in dessert | Leave a commentTags: Acesulfame Potassium, Cheesecake, Cool Whip, Graham cracker crust, Splenda, Tablespoon, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Xanthan Gum
I had been wanting a Cheesecake for quite some time now. So today I stopped up at a local Kroger and purchased the ingredients, 1 box Jell-O Sugar-Free Fat – Free Instant Pudding & Pie Filling Cheesecake, a container of Cool Whip Free (for topping), and 1 Graham Cracker Crust (I used a Kroger Brand Pre-Made Crust). Dessert tonight Cheesecake!
So easy to make! In a bowl add 1 box Jello Mix (2 for a denser cake), 1 3/4 cups Fat Free Milk (I used 2% instead). Stir for 2 minutes and pour into the pre-made pie crust, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. You’re done!
I topped mine with Cool Whip Free but for Mom and Dad I had also bought some Blackberries and I made a Simple Blackberry Sauce for them. Found the recipe on an internet search, from http://www.heathersdish.com/1/simple-blackberry-sauce/. It is as it says a Simple Blackberry Sauce, and delicious! I left the full recipe below along with a web link to her site. To make the sauce I needed 1 bag frozen blackberries (I used Fresh Blackberries), 1/3 cup sugar (I used Splenda), 2 Tbsp cornstarch, and 3 Tbsp fruit juice or water (I used lime juice). Then pour the berries into a small saucepan and cover with sugar (Splenda), then stir to coat the berries with the Splenda (this also helps break up the berries and release some of the juices). Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar is absorbed. Meanwhile stir together the cornstarch and juice/water. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and gently stir in the cornstarch mixture. Put back on the heat for an addition 30-60 seconds until it’s as thick as you want it. Let cool before serving! Very tasty topping!

Today’s Menu: Fried Bologna Sandwich w/ Fresh Cut Baked Fries
The sun was out, it was in the mid 50’s, the birds were chirping, and the flowers and trees are coming out! All real good signs of Spring, 
FINALLY! Highs in the 70’s in the up coming week too. The down side, my Mom has started Spring cleaning. And no one is safe or exempt from it. I feel sorry for my Dad he used to try to stay a few steps ahead of Mom to get out of the cleaning frenzy but now he’s slowed down he’s all hers! For my dinner tonight I prepared; Fried Bologna Sandwich w/ Fresh Cut Baked Fries. i had to try my brand new As Seen On TV Perfect Fry Cutter! I’m always a sucker for those infomercials. I was at Walmart early this morning and they had the Perfect Fry on sale so of course I had to grab one. This ones been out a long time i just had never purchased one until now. I’ll leave the info on it at the end of the post. By the way it worked great!
I had some Bologna left that I been frying up for Breakfast and a Fried Bologna Sandwich just sounded good for Dinner. i always use Kahn’s Deluxe Bologna, no Kahn’s no Bologna. I’ve tried other brands but for me none compare to Kahn’s. I like sliced thin also, I think it fries up better thin. So I fried it until I was getting a char on it and it was ready in minutes. I served it on a Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bun topped with a bit of Hellman’s Light Mayo and a slice of Sargento Muenster Cheese. One my favorite ways to eat Bologna is taking slices along with Ritz Whole Grain Crackers and slices of Cracker Barrel 2% Sharp Cheese.
To go with the Fried Bologna Sandwich I used my new Perfect Fry and sliced up a Russet Potato for fresh baked Fries. I rubbed them in 
a bit of extra Virgin Oil and seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I then baked them at 400 degrees for 21 minutes. If you like making your own fresh cut Fries the Perfect Frys works great! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
