Blackened Gulf Coast Grouper w/ Whole Kernel Sweet Corn and Seasoned Blackeye Peas

Dinner Tonight: Blackened Gulf Coast Grouper w/ Whole Kernel Sweet Corn and Seasoned Blackeye Peas






I made an early Breakfast for me and Mom. Then we were at the hospital by 8:00 this morning to talk

to the doctors about Dad. The news wasn't the best. He has a collapsed left lung again along with water in both lungs. This is the second time for a collapsed lung. The bad news is that they can only repair this one more time and after that if it happens again, it wont be a good outcome. We are hoping and praying for the best. Back at home I did a few things around the house and some laundry for Mom. I wen to Appleby's to pick Mom's dinner for her when she came home from the hospital. For myself I prepared a Blackened Gulf Coast Grouper w/ Whole Kernel Sweet Corn and Seasoned Blackeye Peas.



My friends had brought me back some Florida Gulf Coast Grouper they had caught a while back and

I had them in the freezer. I got one of the fillets out of the freezer and let it thaw overnight in the

fridge. It’s one beautiful Grouper fillet! To prepare it I rinsed the fillet off in cold water and patted it dry with paper towel. I then seasoned them it with a bit of Sea Salt. Then I melted 1 tablespoon of Blue Bonnet Lite Butter and rolled the fillet in the Butter. I then added the Zatarain’s Blackening Seasoning, coating both sides of the fillet.









I prepared it in a preheated Cast Iron Skillet that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray. When the pan

was fully heated, on medium heat, I added my Grouper. At this point turn on your Stove Overhead

Exhaust Fan on, because it will start smoking from the seasoning. Cooked it about 4 minutes per side, and it was ready! Cast Iron Skillets are perfect to use for any cooking but especially when you Blacken something. The Skillet heats up and holds it heat and the heat evenly distributes across the Skillet, perfect for Blackening Meats. This is one delicious Grouper! The fresh taste of the Grouper, so meaty, along with the Blackening Season are a perfect combo. Love Fish, Love Seafood !Plus as you can tell as big as this filet was I only had half of it for dinner. The other half for lunch tomorrow!





For one side dish I heated up a can of Margaret Holmes Seasoned Blackeye Peas. If you are a fan of Blackeye Peas, like myself, you'll love these! Just emptied the Peas into a small saucepan, covered,  and heated to a boil. Reduced the heat, stirred. Simmer until ready to serve. Nice size Peas and Seasoned just right!












Then for a second side it was a can of Green Giant Whole Kernel Sweet Corn. Just emptied the Corn into a small saucepan and heated to a boil, and served! Very good Sweet Corn.Forget a bunch of that "Peas and Carrots", Blackeye Peas and Sweet Corn make a perfect pairing! I wasn't sure how the two would work out, but they are fantastic together! Then I  also had a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.







Zatarain’s Blackened Seasoning

This spicy seasoning blend is rubbed on the outside of fish (or chicken, steak or other meats) for

blackening. Also Zatarain's Blackened Seasoninggreat as a seasoning rub for the grill or broiler.

Kitchen Hint oif the Day!

Peachy Hint....


Peaches are low in calories (100 g just provide 39 calories), and contain no saturated fats. Nonetheless, they are packed with numerous health promoting compounds, minerals, and vitamins. They are rich in many vital minerals such as potassium, fluoride and iron. Iron is required for red blood cell formation. Fluoride is a component of bones and teeth and is essential for prevention of dental caries.


Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that help regulate heart rate and blood pressure. The potassium in peaches are great for reducing kidney related diseases and helps to cleanse your bladder. The concentration of potassium and other vitamins in this amazing little fruit allows your body to maintain normal kidney and liver function. Eating peaches will help prevent nephritis and a variety of other kidney diseases as well as help eliminate kidney stones.

Smoked Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Baked Potato

Dinner Tonight: Smoked Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Baked Potato




It started out a beautiful quiet morning but by Noon today Dad started having breathing problems. So bad we had to call the Life Squad and they had to take him to the Hospital. My dad has a lot of lung problems and one of his lungs was filling with water again. It looks as though they are going to keep him in there so they can clear the lungs. But there may be more damage to the lungs. We will not know until they run some tests tomorrow. Back from the hospital and just cleaned up around the house and finished a load of laundry Mom had going. For dinner tonight I prepared Smoked Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Baked Potato.
 

I used the Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage. I cut one of the Sausage Links into to  2 pieces to give me a couple of Sausage Dogs. I absolutely love the Butterball Hardwood Smoked

Turkey Sausage. It’s got such a fantastic flavor and always cooks up just right. To prepare them I used a large skillet, added about a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and preheated it on medium heat. Put the Sausage in the skillet when it was heated up and covered with a lid. I turned the Sausage every few minutes to get an even char on them, cooked about 11 minutes total. As always they came out just bursting with flavor and flat-out delicious! I served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Hot Dog Bun and topped with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard.




For a side I had a baked a Russet Potato, microwaved for 7 minutes 15 seconds. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Topped it with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Great crop of Russet Potatoes this year! For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar.

Kitchen Hints of the Day!

Fire up the Grill this Weekend....

 * To reduce the amount of browning or blackening of meat, only apply barbecue or other tomato-based sauces containing sugars during the last 10 or so minutes of grilling.

 * Don’t add any salt until the meat is cooked to prevent it from getting dry and tough, as the salt will draw away moisture.

Chicken ‘n’ Noodles w/ Sliced Carrots and Whole Grain Bread

Dinner Tonight: Chicken ‘n’ Noodles w/ Sliced Carrots and Whole Grain Bread





Woke up hungry this morning. So for Breakfast I prepared 2 Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage
Patties, 1 medium Egg (Sunnyside Up), 2 toasted slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread (Lightly Buttered), and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Hungry no more! After Breakfast it was house cleaning, vacuum and dusting. Then later in the afternoon I headed back up to the hospital to see my friend that's up there. Cloudy, rain on and off, and in the 70's. For dinner tonight its Chicken ‘n’ Noodles w/ Sliced Carrots and Whole Grain Bread.









To start; I cut up 2 Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts into bite size pieces, seasoning them with Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, Ground Smoked Cumin, and Parsley. I then fried them in a large skillet until done.










As the Chicken finished I then added the can of Fixins'. The Fixins' is a can of Margaret Holmes

Simple Suppers Chicken n Noodles Fixins’. I used the Margaret Holmes Simple Suppers Chicken n Noodles Fixins’. Another of my favorite Comfort Foods! I used to buy this at Walmart all the time but Margaret Holmes no longer makes it, lack of sales they say. I've been purchasing cans of it on various web sites but I can no longer can find it online. Anyway it comes in a 5 serving can and contains the Noodles and Seasoning, Cooked until it the Sauce was bubbling and heated throughout. The broth that’s with Noodles is incredible! Rich and thick and seasoned just right. The Sauce just coats the Chicken and gives it incredible flavor. I'm very sad they no longer make this. I think I still have 4 cans of it left in the pantry though.






I also had heated up a small can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots. Also had a couple of slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread topped with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Then for dessert later tonight a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.










Margaret Holmes Simple Suppers Chicken n’ Noodles

Chicken n’ Noodles will become a comfort-food favorite in any household. Add boneless, skinless chicken breast to a can of Simple Suppers Chicken n’ Noodles, which is filled with plump noodle dumplings and special seasonings.

Thai Vegetarian Recipes

Make a delicious vegetarian Thai recipe at home with these easy Thai food recipes.
The flavors of Thai food, including red curry, peanut butter, coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger and more authentic Thai ingredients, work especially well when paired with tofu and a variety of healthy vegetables. In our collection of Thai vegetarian recipes, we lighten-up traditional Thai food dishes and offer flavorful options for delicious meatless meals. Try our Vegetarian Thai Red Curry for a healthy curry dinner or Vegetable Satay for a vegetarian version of this Indonesian-style satay often made with chicken or beef.



Vegetarian Thai Red Curry
This flavorful vegetarian Thai red curry recipe matches sweet potatoes with fresh dandelion greens and asparagus, though you can substitute cauliflower florets, cubed Asian eggplant, squash or carrots. If you’re using cauliflower or eggplant, add them earlier, when the potato is only partially cooked, as they will take longer to cook than asparagus. Classic Thai red curry is flavored with lime leaves and Thai basil. If you find them, use them, but even without them the vegetable curry will still be a knockout.......


Vegetable Satay
Although usually made with strips of chicken or beef, this Indonesian-style satay can be made with fresh broccoli and cauliflower florets. Hot Madras curry has a bit of a kick; use regular curry powder if you just want the flavor of curry but not the heat. To save time, look for broccoli and cauliflower already cut into florets in the produce section or at the salad bar of your supermarket.....


Crispy Seitan Stir-Fry for Two
A flavorful sauce and lots of crunchy vegetables make this seitan stir-fry a quick and healthy choice for dinner tonight!

Condiment of the Week - Relish

A relish is a cooked, pickled, or chopped vegetable or fruit food item typically used as a condiment in

Hot Dog Relish

particular to enhance a staple. In the United States, the word relish is frequently used to describe a single variety of relish —pickle or dill relish, made from finely chopped pickled cucumbers. Such relish is commonly used as a condiment, and is an important ingredient in many varieties of the U.S. version of tartar sauce.

It originated in India and has since become popular throughout the world. Examples are jams, chutneys, and the North American relish, a pickled cucumber jam eaten with hot dogs or hamburgers.




The item generally consists of discernible vegetable or fruit pieces in a sauce, although the sauce is subordinate in character to the vegetable or fruit pieces. It might consist of a single type of vegetable or fruit, or a combination of these. These fruits or vegetables might be coarsely or finely chopped, but generally a relish is not as smooth as a sauce-type condiment, such as ketchup. The overall taste sensation might be sweet or savory, hot or mild, but it is always a strong flavor that complements or adds to the primary food item with which it is served.

Relish probably came about from the need to preserve vegetables in the winter. In India (where the preparation originated from), this generally includes either vegetables, herbs or fruits.

In the United States, the most common commercially available relishes are made from pickled cucumbers and are known in the food trade as pickle relishes. Two variants of this are hamburger relish (pickle relish in a ketchup base or sauce) and hotdog relish (pickle relish in a mustard base or sauce). Other readily available commercial relishes in the United States include corn (maize) relish. Heinz, Vlasic, and Claussen are well known in the United States as producers of pickled cucumbers and pickle relishes.

A notable relish is the Gentleman's Relish, which was invented in 1828 by John Osborn and contains

Red pepper relish

spiced anchovy. It is traditionally spread sparingly atop unsalted butter on toast.

Within North America, relish is much more commonly used in Canada and Alaska than in the contiguous United States on food items such as hamburgers or hot dogs. One exception is in the Chicago area, where bright green sweet pickle relish adorns hot dogs when "everything" is the order on the dog. American-based fast food chains do not normally put relish on hamburgers even at their locations in Canada and Alaska, whereas Canadian fast food chains (such as Harvey's) do have it as a regular option just like ketchup, mustard, etc. American-based fast food chains use regular pickles to a greater extent. If it is offered as an option at Canadian locations of American-based fast food restaurants (e.g. Wendy's), it is generally offered in individually portioned packets rather than added atop the burger. Restaurants, fast food franchises and sports stadiums in Canada prominently offer relish as a topping on hamburgers and hot dogs along with ketchup and mustard, whereas this is less common in most of the United States (although there is variation within the United States).

Catfish Nuggets w/ Hash Browns and Cut Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: Catfish Nuggets w/ Hash Browns and Cut Green Beans






To start the day I prepared 2 Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast sausage Links, some Pioneer Peppered
White Gravy, and a couple of slices toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. No matter what you put gravy on it makes it better! After Breakfast I went up to the hospital to see a friend of mine, he's making progress! Cloudy and on the cool side, in the 60's. Back home cleaned up around outside and finished up some laundry for Mom. For dinner tonight I prepared Catfish Nuggets w/ Hash Browns and Cut Green Beans.








Picked up the Catfish Nuggets at Kroger the other day. I had them in the freezer so I let them thaw in the fridge overnight. To prepare them I rinsed the Catfish Nuggets 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 Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Fried each side about 3 1/2 minutes, until a golden brown. The Zatarain’s Crispy Southern Fish Fri is perfect for the Catfish, great flavor and the Nuggets were good size and meaty. You can bake Catfish but for me you just can’t beat frying Catfish. I love using all these Zatarain’s Products!




For one side I prepared some Simply Potatoes Hash Browns, which I always use when making Hash

Browns. Fried them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned them with Sea Salt, Ground Pepper, and Parsley. I also heated up a can of Del Monte Low Sodium Cut Green Beans. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt.












Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns

Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns fry up perfectly to a crisp, golden brown because they’re made from quality potatoes. They’re always fresh, never frozen so you’ll never have to worry about freezer burn. Fresh, delicious potatoes mean you never have to sacrifice great homemade taste.

Ingredients:

Thai Grilled Chicken with Sweet & Spicy Dipping Sauce
In this recipe for gai yang, or Thai grilled chicken, the chicken marinade is enriched with a little coconut milk, which keeps the meat moist during grilling. Prepare the sweet-and-spicy dipping sauce the day you want to use it, because it loses freshness quickly. If you prefer to use chicken breasts instead of thighs and drumsticks, use 3 bone-in breast halves and cut each in half crosswise for 6 servings total......


Thai Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Sauce
Spicy peanut sauce is the perfect match for these Thai-marinated grilled chicken strips.....


Grilled Thai Chicken Sandwich
Juicy grilled chicken, onions and peppers combine with a Thai-inspired sauce in this chicken sandwich recipe. We love how the flatbreads made from whole-wheat dough sop up the extra sauce. If you have one large (12-ounce) chicken breast instead of two smaller (6-ounce) ones, cut it in half horizontally before grilling so the chicken cooks in the time specified in this recipe......

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Kale, cabbage, and collard greens are delicious to eat, but can sometimes smell stinky when they're being prepared. Make sure not to overcook them, which will make them release more odors. Also try placing a few unshelled pecans in the saucepan while cooking toPecans, Cooking, Food, Recipes help absorb scents.

Bacon and Cheese Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Bacon and Cheese Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Fries






Started my day off with a Chili and Cheese Omelet. I used the last of the 3 Bean Turkey Chili,

Sargento Reduced Calorie Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Egg Beater's Egg Whites, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. I love making Omelets using Egg Beater's, taste great and only 25 calories per serving! You could go 2 or 3 servings and still have less calories than Eggs. Also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cleaned up inside the house and outside I got the leaf blower out and cleaned the deck and driveway. It seems our house is a magnet for leaves and debris, it always ends up here it seems! For dinner tonight my favorite Burger, Wild Idea Buffalo Burger! I prepared a Bacon and Cheese Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Fries.





One delicious Buffalo Burger combining my two favorites, Wild idea Buffalo and Jennie – O Turkey! I used Jennie – O Turkey Bacon for my Burger topping. Heated up a medium size skillet on medium high heat and fried the Bacon until it was crisp. Removed it from the skillet to a Paper Towel lined plate, and set aside. For the Buffalo Burger I used my favorite Buffalo, the Wild Idea Buffalo 1/3-Lb Buffalo Burgers. Just love these Buffalo Burgers; meaty, juicy and just flat out delicious! Preheated up a small skillet that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray, seasoned my Burger with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I then pan fried it, in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, about 31/2 minutes per side, after flipping the Burger I added my slice of Cheese with about 1 minute of cooking time left. Topped it with the Turkey Bacon and served it on a Aunt Millie's Reduced Calorie Hamburger Bun. Love a good Burger and love these Wild Idea Buffalo Burgers, and topped with the Jennie – O Turkey Bacon kicks up one more notch!







For a side I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries, with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup for the Fries. For
dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Skip takeout and enjoy a delicious Thai dinner at home with these easy Thai food recipes.
Thai food is easy to make at home with our healthy Thai recipes, including Thai chicken recipes, Thai beef recipes and vegetarian Thai recipes. From Chicken Satay to Thai Bouillabaise, these easy Thai recipes feature authentic flavors of Thai cuisine, including coconut milk, mango, ginger, Thai basil and more Thai ingredients. Try our Thai Grilled Beef Salad for a zesty Thai beef recipe or Pad Thai for a lighter spin on traditional Pad Thai.



Thai Grilled Beef Salad
This zesty Thai grilled beef salad recipe is seasoned with fresh herbs, lime and hot peppers. It is fabulously easy to make at home and great for parties. Toasted rice powder, which you make by toasting then grinding rice in Step 3, adds a pleasant, nutty flavor to the dish. Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes are a traditional cooling counterpoint in this Thai salad. For the best flavor, grind the peppercorns fresh for this recipe......


Pad Thai
This healthy pad thai recipe has less than half the calories and sodium of the traditional Thai-restaurant favorite. Look for dried wide rice noodles, sometimes called “Pad Thai noodles” or “straight-cut,” in the Asian-food section at most supermarkets and natural-foods stores. Serve with sliced cucumbers with a rice vinegar and cilantro vinaigrette.......


Vegetarian Thai Red Curry
This flavorful vegetarian Thai red curry recipe matches sweet potatoes with fresh dandelion greens and asparagus, though you can substitute cauliflower florets, cubed Asian eggplant, squash or carrots. If you’re using cauliflower or eggplant, add them earlier, when the potato is only partially cooked, as they will take longer to cook than asparagus. Classic Thai red curry is flavored with lime leaves and Thai basil. If you find them, use them, but even without them the vegetable curry will still be a knockout......

Leftovers - 3 Bean Turkey Chili w/ Johnny Cakes

Dinner Tonight: Leftovers - 3 Bean Turkey Chili w/ Johnny Cakes

For Breakfast this morning I had; scrambled some Egg Beater's Egg Whites, 2 Jennie - O Turkey Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. That's a good way to start the day! Partly sunny day out, high in the 70's. After lunch I went to the hospital to see my friend who had brain surgery, he's doing a little better. Back home finished up some laundry for Mom and that was about it for the day. For dinner tonight it's leftovers. I reheated the leftover 3 Bean Turkey Chili.
Breakfast Sausage Links, toasted 2 slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread, and a cup of




I had another meal in mind but I wasn't going to let this Chili be wasted. So I put the leftovers in a small sauce pan and reheated on medium heat until heated through. Love this Chili, just as good the second time around! I've left the original post from a day ago, which includes the ingredients and directions to make the 3 Bean Turkey Chili w/ Johnny Cakes. Later!



It's been a while since I made the Turkey version of my 3 Bean Chili. Most of the time I use the Wild

Idea Buffalo, either version you can't go wrong! It’s loaded with nothing but good things. I use Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast. The 3 Beans I use are 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans (Red Beans), 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans ( Kidney Beans), 1 Can (16 oz.) Bush’s Chili Beans (Black Beans) drained and rinsed, Then I mix in 1 Red Onion (medium Chopped or Minced), 1 Jalapeno Pepper (Unseeded and Chopped), and 4 Cloves Minced Garlic. For my spices I use 1 Packet McCormick Chili Mix, 2 Cans (6 oz.) Hunt’s Tomato Paste (2 cans), 1 Tbs Ground Cocoa Chili Blend (McCormick), 1/2 Tsp Ground Chipotle Chili Pepper (McCormick), 2 Tbs. Ground Roasted Cumin (McCormick), 2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon (McCormick), 1 Tbs of Cilantro Leaves (McCormick), and 5 Dashes of Frank’s Hot Sauce or to taste (I usually add a lot more dashes!).

To prepare it I start by browning the Jennie -O Ground Turkey. Using a large skillet sprayed with Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese and a couple of shakes of Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Also a side of Johnny Cakes. (Recipe Below)

Pam Cooking Spray and 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Preheat the skillet on medium heat. When heated I add the Ground Turkey and all the seasonings and Tomato Paste, stirring often. When the Turkey has browned I add from the skillet to the liner lined Crock Pot. Throw in a 1/2 cup of Water and put the lid on the Crock Pot and set on low for 5-6 hours. Then sit back and enjoy the aroma that usually starts after an hour or so of simmering! I love a thick Chili and this one works! The Jennie - O Ground Turkey combined with all those spices is a perfect match. Served it topped with




To prepare Johnny Cakes all you’ll need is: Pam w/ Olive Oil Non – Stick Spray, 1/4 cup Extra

Virgin Olive Oil, 1 3/4 cups Low Fat Buttermilk, and 2 cups Martha White Self Rising Enriched White Corn Meal Mix. Just mix all your ingredients in a large bowl. Spray your Pam on a Flat Top Griddle or large Skillet and preheat on medium low, I use the Flat Top Griddle. When the Griddle is heated add your batter. You can make the Cakes any size you want from half-dollar size to regular pancake size cakes. After the bottom side turns golden brown flip over and let the other side get golden brown. To serve I placed mine on a plate and topped it with my 3 Bean Chili and Shredded Cheese. And now it’s Comfort Food Heaven! Chili and Cornbread are meant to be together! For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar.

One of America's Favorites - Turkey Bacon

Turkey bacon is an imitation bacon usually prepared from smoked, chopped and reformed turkey,

Turkey bacon cooking in skillet.

commonly marketed as a low-fat alternative to bacon. Turkey bacon can also be used as a substitute for bacon where religious restrictions forbid the consumption of pork.










The meat for turkey bacon comes from the whole turkey and can be cured or uncured, smoked,

chopped, and reformed into strips that resemble bacon. The turkey is often cured in a mix of seasonings and refined bacon grease for up to 48 hours. Turkey bacon is cooked by pan-frying. Cured turkey bacon made from dark meat can be 90% fat free. It can be used in the same manner as bacon (such as in a BLT sandwich), but the low fat content of turkey bacon means it does not shrink while being cooked and has a tendency to stick to the pan.




Turkey bacon is lower in fat and calories than bacon, but can be used in a similar manner to bacon (such as in a BLT sandwich), but its lower fat content makes it unsuitable in some situations, such as grilling.

Turkey bacon is also an alternative for people who do not eat pork for religious or dietary reasons. When Beautiful Brands International, a company from Tulsa, Oklahoma, signed a deal with a Saudi Arabian firm to open 120 locations in eight countries in the Middle East, they had to substitute bacon with Halal turkey bacon in their recipes at Camille's Sidewalk Cafe locations as consumption of pork and non-halal meat is forbidden by Islamic customs.




Two strips of Butterball turkey bacon contain 3 grams of fat and 50 calories (32% of which from fat); turkey bacon from Louis Rich and Mr. Turkey contain 5 and 4 grams of fat, respectively, per two slices. By comparison, two strips of regular pork bacon contain, on average, some 7 grams of fat. Andrew Smith, in The Turkey: An American Story, notes that turkey products (including turkey bacon) contain, on average twice as much sodium as the pork products they replace.

Shrimp Poppers w/ Mac and Cheese

Dinner Tonight: Shrimp Poppers w/ Mac and Cheese

Had a rough night last night. I had to deal with the Phantom Pains, and they were bad! So not a whole

lot of sleep last night. For Breakfast I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin and topped it with Smucker's Sugarless Black Berry Jam. Not a lot going on today, thankfully. Beautiful day out, sunny and high in the low 60's. Had the cart out for a while this afternoon enjoying all the sunshine! Come dinner time I was really getting tired from lack of sleep overnight so I wanted something easy to prepare for dinner. So it was the oven and microwave to prepare my meal tonight. I prepared some Shrimp Poppers w/ Mac and Cheese.








I used SeaPak Shrimp Poppers, first time I used these in quite some time. To prepare them I heated up the oven on 425°f. Arranged the frozen shrimp in single layer on baking sheet. Baked them for 12 minutes (until golden brown). I turned the  shrimp over after 5 minutes. When done let them cool for 3 minutes. Love these Shrimp, nice flavor and just the right amount of breading. Served them with some Louisiana Remoulade Sauce, perfect for any seafood.








To go with the Shrimp another easy dish, Stouffer's Classic Mac and Cheese Mac Cups. just microwave
and serve. A great tasting Mac and Cheese in a single serving cup! Tastes great, excellent Cheesy Mac. Well that's about as an easy Shrimp and Mac & Cheese dinner that you can fix! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt. Off to bed early to catch up on some tonight, hopefully!
