Salmon Patties w/ Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese

Dinner Tonight: Salmon Patties w/ Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese




For Breakfast I had a bowl Kashi Grain Puffs Cereal. really enjoy those, even as a snack. Went out to get the paper this morning and it was around 34 degrees about a 1/2 hour later it had dropped to 31 degrees and it started snowing. It came down hard fora short time and it covered the grass areas but that was about it. They say in the 50's and 60's this weekend, hope they are right! Cleaned the house up some and then Dad started his at home therapy treatments today, which he needs. Not too much going on today. For dinner tonight it's Salmon Patties w/ Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese.





I’m using a can of Kroger Brand Pink Salmon, Egg Beater’s (1/4 cup), a couple of shakes of Frank’s Hot Sauce, Dried Parsley, and Kroger Low Fat Saltine Crackers. To make the Salmon Patties I used Kroger Low Fat Saltine Crackers, 10 Crackers. By using these Crackers instead of a regular Saltine Cracker, such as Zesta Saltine Crackers, I saved a total of 20 calories and 2 full grams of fat. Make cuts where you can, it all adds up! In a large bowl I mixed all the ingredients until it well mixed and thickened up. Made the mixture into patties and pan fried them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil on medium heat. Fried until cooked through and golden brown on both sides. I need to start having these more often, they came out golden brown and delicious!




For the Pasta I used Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese. I don’t use a lot of Mac and Cheese due to the calories and carbs but the Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese isn’t too bad, plus every now and then doesn’t hurt. To prepare it; Boil 6 cups water. Stir in shell pasta. Cook 8-10 min., Stirring occasionally. Drain pasta, don’t rinse. Return it to pan. Add cheese sauce; stir. And you have some creamy and cheesy Mac and Cheese! It’s just a flat out Pasta and Cheese Comfort Food Heaven! Excellent tasting Rotini Pasta and with the Cheese, perfect.
