Today’s Menu: Mushroom and Sharp Cheddar Turkey Burger w/ Baked Fries
The rains and storms finally ended, we ended up with over 2″ of rain. We avoided any storm damage like some of the area had. Had to go to Walmart and pick up several items. It just still amazes me on Walmarts prices compared to Kroger! A box of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea at Walmart $1.28 – Kroger $1.98, Tide Detergent Walmart $11.49 – Kroger $12.39, Ball Park Turkey Franks, Fisher Nuts, Del Monte Products, it all keeps adding up. Look before you buy! For dinner tonight I prepared Mushroom and Sharp Cheddar Turkey Burgers w/ Baked Fries for everyone.
I used Jennie – O Turkey Burger Patties (Lean). Only 180 calories and 9 g fat and already made into patties. Pan fried them in a 1/2 Tbs of Canola Oil and seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. I served them on an Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun and topped with some sauteed sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms and a slice of Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar. I also baked some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries. Served these with a side Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream. I had also bought a bag of Salad that I made for Mom and Dad. For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar

Today’s Menu: Turkey Breast Steak w/ Cut Green Beans & Potatoes and Whole Grain Bread
Well the predicted heavy wind and storm that was to hit, didn’t hit this area too bad. The worst part of the storm, Heavy Rain and Strong Winds, only lasted about 10 minutes. Unlike a lot of other places that were hit, we had little to no damage. It brought some cooler weather with it though, in the morning it’s going to be in the low 20’s. It is that time of year though. For dinner tonight a couple of new items, I prepared a Turkey Breast Steak w/ Cut Green Beans & Potatoes and Whole Grain Bread.
I came across Jennie – O Turkey Breast Steak while at Walmart earlier today, first time I’ve seen this product from Jennie – O. It comes Seasoned and it’s only 130 calories per serving. You can prepare it several ways, I pan fried mine. To prepare it just preheat a large skillet over medium heat, spray it with nonstick spray. Cook the steaks, turning 2-3 times until meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion of meat reached 165°F, approximately 19-21 minutes. Covered with lid for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove from stove top, cover, and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Then you have a fine and tasty Turkey Breast Steak! Another winner from Jennie – O! It was well seasoned, I did add a couple of shakes of Sea Salt while it was cooking. This is good on its own and I think it would make a good Taco Dish or on Pita Bread, I’ll try it soon!
For a side dish I also tried another new one, Del Monte Cut Green Beans and Potatoes. As all Del Monte Vegetable Products just empty the can into a Sauce Pan and heat. I had seen this one before but just never purchased it before. Good idea and product! I also had a couple of slices of Klosterman Wheat Bread that I buttered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. This was one delicious meal and it was under 300 calories! For dessert later a Del Monte No Sugar Added Mango Chunks Cup.

Today’s Menu: Whole Seasoned Roaster Chicken w/ Mashed Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Whole Wheat Bread
This part of Ohio just cracks me up, people will never change! All it takes is one weather news cast to mention snow and the panick is on! They’re calling on anywhere from an 1″ to a dusting of snow overnight and flurries Tuesday. And as usual people flock to the store buying anything and everything, I’m not exaggerating! I had to go the store this morning and went to a local Walmart. I guess I got there around 8:30 and by the time I left it was getting crowded. Going through the checkout line, the woman before me was telling the cashier how “she wanted to get out and stock up before the snowstorm hit!” SNOWSTORM, 1″ at the most that their calling for and it’s, quote unquote a SNOWSTORM! This area is funny when it comes to weather! Anyway life is pretty normal for me and for dinner tonight I prepared a Whole Seasoned Roaster Chicken w/ Mashed Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Whole Wheat Bread.
We had the Perdue Oven Ready Whole Seasoned Roaster Chicken about 2 weeks ago and couldn’t wait to have one again. Kroger was the only one that I had found that carries them, until now and Walmart now has them! And by no great surprise at a cheaper price. These are great, a real easy way to prepare a Whole Roasted Chicken. To prepare it preheat the oven to 400ºF. Cut open the outer bag and remove roaster, sealed in cooking bag. Place it in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up.Cut open outer bag and remove roaster, sealed in cooking bag. Place it in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Cut one small 1″ slit in cooking bag over the breast to vent during cooking. Place pan with roaster (still in cooking bag) on lower shelf of oven and roast for approximately 90-115 minutes, until internal temperature of the breast reaches 180ºF. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut open cooking bag (use care to avoid hot steam and juices) and transfer roaster to serving plate or cutting board. Remove string from legs before carving. Remaining juices in bag can be used for a delicious seasoned gravy. The full instructions are at the end of the post. It can’t get much easier! Little mess to clean up and one mouth – watering delicious Roasted Chicken! Tender, moist, well seasoned, and browns up perfect. Huge Chicken (see the picture), It’s as big as some small Turkeys! Plenty of great leftovers for lunch and some more of the Buffalo Chicken Nachos.
For sides I heated up a can of Del Monte Low Sodium Cut Green Beans. I also prepared some Stove Top Chicken Stuffing and Bob Evan’s Mashed Potatoes, just microwave and serve the Potatoes! Then for dessert later tonight I picked up a package of Pillsbury Real Apple Turnovers. Baked them and served them with a scoop of Breyer’s Low Carb Vanilla Ice Cream. I’ll post tomorrow if we survive the “White Death” storm! (lol)

Today’s Menu: Bison Sirloin and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Baked Potato and Seasoned Pinto Beans
A day of errands today. The Bank, Post Office, Meijer, and Walmart. Got a couple of Gift Cards for the family, buying some early Christmas Gifts. The storm they were warning everyone about for 2 days barely affected our area, and it didn’t come in till about 10 pm last night. For dinner tonight; Bison Sirloin and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Baked Potato and Seasoned Pinto Beans.
Still running low on the Wild Idea Buffalo Steaks so I used a Great Range Bison Sirloin. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea salt and Black Peppercorn. No new grill yet so I pan fried it in Canola Oil, about 4 minutes per side. Medium rare with a nice char on the outside and a little pink and moist inside, love Bison or Buffalo! Topped it with some Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms. Steak and Mushrooms are always the perfect pairing.
For a side I had a Baked Potato that I seasoned with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper, topped with some I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Then I also heated up a can of Margaret Holmes Seasoned Pinto Beans. First time I tried these, I picked a can up while at Walmart earlier. And as all Margaret Holmes Products they were delicious! Nicely seasoned and full of flavor. For dessert/snack later tonight a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.

Black Bean and Turkey Tacos

Today’s Menu: Black Bean and Turkey Tacos
Another beautiful cool morning here. Got out early and hit the stores. Started at Walmart for some of the Meat, Bakery, and basic staples for the pantry. Then off to Kroger for the rest of the Meats, Produce, Cheese, and Deli. I’m still amazed at the big difference in prices between Walmart and Kroger. Anymore I only buy what I can’t find at Walmart. You can save hundreds by purchasing center aisle products from Walmart, Pasta, Can Goods, Paper Products, and such. Stay out of Kroger center aisles! For dinner one of my favorites, Black Bean and Turkey Tacos.
I used Jennie – O Ground Turkey, 99% Fat Free (120/0). I pan fried it in Canola Oil and I seasoned it a bit with Cilantro, Sea Salt, and Smoked Ground Cumin and I used 1 packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning. As the Turkey was finishing up I added a can of Bush’s Low Sodium Black Beans, before adding them I rinsed them off with cold water in a strainer. I mixed the Turkey and Black Beans in the pan until well mixed and continued cooking until the Turkey was done and the Beans were heated.
I used Ortega Whole Grain Corn Taco Shells. Their a good size Taco Shell with 110 calories and 12 Net carbs per serving (2 Shells). Fewer calories and carbs than the Old El Paso Taco Shells. For the Taco fillers I had Green Giant Summer Crisp White and Yellow Kernel Corn, sliced Black Olives, shredded Lettuce, Sargento Reduced Fat Mexican 4 Cheese, and Old El Paso Medium Taco Sauce. To assemble my Taco I first layered the bottom with shredded Lettuce, the Lettuce helps soak up any moisture so the bottom of your Taco doesn’t get soggy. After the Lettuce I layered in my ground Turkey/Black Beans, then Black Olives, Corn, Taco Sauce topped with the Shredded Cheese! Love these Tacos! I also heated up a can of Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans for Mom and Dad. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt Cup.

Today’s Menu: It’s Taco Friday, Black Bean and Ground Turkey Tacos!
Last day of the heat and humidity for at least a few days they say, at last! We even had a couple of real heavy showers throughout the day, which we needed. Me I went to Walmart early this morning but not my usual Walmart I normally go to. I switched Walmarts, the one I normally go to was going down hill fast. The produce department wasn’t stocked a lot of times with near expired fruits and vegetables and the other aisles were hardly ever fully stocked. Worse of all was their electric carts, which I need being an amputee. Of late the carts are broke or won’t charge, always having to switch carts at least twice on every visit. So I go to a different one now and it’s great. Plenty of working carts and everything well stocked! For dinner it’s Tacos! I prepared Black Bean and Ground Turkey Tacos.
I used Honeysuckle White Ground Turkey, 99% Fat Free (130/0). I pan fried it in Canola Oil and I seasoned it a bit with Cilantro, Sea Salt, and Smoked Ground Cumin and I used 1 packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning. As the Turkey was finishing up I added a can of Bush’s Low Sodium Black Beans, before adding them I rinsed them off with cold water in a strainer. I mixed the Turkey and Black Beans in the pan until well mixed and continued cooking until the Turkey was done and the Beans were heated.
I usually use Old El Paso Stand Up Taco Shells but while at Walmart I picked up a different one, Ortega Whole Grain Corn Taco Shells. Their a good size Taco Shell with 110 calories and 12 Net carbs per serving (2 Shells). Fewer calories and carbs than the Old El Paso Taco Shells.
For the Taco fillers I had Green Giant Summer Crisp White and Yellow Kernel Corn, sliced Black Olives, shredded Lettuce, Sargento Reduced Fat Mexican 4 Cheese, and Old El Paso Medium Taco Sauce. To assemble my Taco I first layered the bottom with shredded Lettuce, the Lettuce helps soak up any moisture so the bottom of your Taco doesn’t get soggy. After the Lettuce I layered in my ground Turkey/Black Beans, then Black Olives, Corn, Taco Sauce topped with the Shredded Cheese! Love these Tacos! Making Tacos also gave me the chance to use my new Taco Holders! I had never seen these before I purchased them at Walmart earlier today. Their made of hard plastic and you just sit your Taco Shell in it and it keeps it upright, a lot easier to load up the Taco and keeps it together when your eating it and you want to sit it down. For dessert/snack later some Ritz Whole Grain Crackers topped with some Philly Reduced Fat Cream Cheese.

Today’s Menu: Pork Chops w/ Pork Stuffing, Au Gratin Casserole, and Sugar Snap Peas
Busy day of canning 14 qts. of Half Runner Green Beans! Nothing better than fresh canned beans and with 14 qts. that should last a while (Hopefully). I’ll have pictures and instructions on how we canned the beans tomorrow. Having 2 stoves on day like this would be nice as the canner took up half the stove top area, the last batch of beans weren’t done after 7:00 pm. It made dinner prep cramped but still was able to cook. Mom was real tired so her and my Dad went out to eat as for me I prepared a Fried Pork Chop w/ Pork Stuffing, Au Gratin Casserole, and Sugar Snap Peas.
To prepare my Chop I seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and then dusted it with a bit of flour, to give it a slight crust. I pan fried it in Canola Oil about minutes per side. Comes out browned and moist.
For side dishes I prepared a box of Stove Top Dressing (Pork). I wasn’t a big fan of any stuffing until last week when I made some Stove Top Stuffing for dinner last week and I couldn’t get enough of it! That was the Chicken Stove Top so I thought I would give the Pork a try and it was just as delicious! I am a fan of Stuffing, at least Stove Top Stuffing, now. I also baked a Idahoan Au Gratin Homestyle Casserole. A breeze to prepare and always a perfect Potato dish. I also microwaved a bag of Walmart Marketside Sugar Snap Peas. A perfect meal to end a productive day! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.

Today’s Menu: Baked Tuna Casserole w/ Whole Grain Bread
I hope everyone else is having a better stretch of weather than what we are having. I’m glad the warm weather is here but we always seem to get the humidity with it, and that’s not good. Did anyone watch the guy tightrope across the Grand Canyon last night? Nerves of steel! For dinner I baked a Tuna Casserole and had some sliced Whole Grain Bread with it. Nice light dinner tonight.
I used a box of Walmart Brand Great Value Cheesy Tuna Skillet Meal as my base for the Casserole. It came with Pasta and a Cheesy Sauce Mix. I added a can of Chicken of the Sea Light Chunk Tuna in Water (10 oz.), 1 1/2 cups Water, 2 cups 2% Milk, 3 tbsp. Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter, a couple of shakes of Hungarian Paprika, and Progresso Italian Style Bread Crumbs. I mixed all those ingredients up in a 2 qt. baking dish, except the Bread Crumbs which I added to the top of the mix. I then covered it with aluminum foil and baked it at 425 degrees for about 37 minutes. It really came out very good! Nice and creamy, hearty dish. I also had a couple of slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread topped with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
