Dinner Tonight: Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings and Baked Crinkle Fries
For Breakfast this morning I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cloudy with rain showers out today, about 54 degrees. Cleaned the hose today, vacuum and dusted. Afterward I had to repair one of the wheels on the sweeper. I've bought a couple of Cordless Vacuums now. Being in a wheelchair it makes running the vacuum so easy now! For Dinner tonight it’s Chicken Wings. I prepared Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings and Baked Crinkle Fries.
I prepared some of the Kroger Buffalo Chicken Wings. I’ll be baking these, I preheated the oven to 425 degrees. Used a baking sheet, lined it with foil and sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking
Spray. I lined the Wings up on the foil and baked them for 19 minutes.Excellent Heat and Spices, and Baked up perfect.. Served these with a side of Litehouse Light Blue Cheese Dressing. I love these Wings, I take my love of Wings after my Mom!
To go with the Wings I prepared some Alexia Organic Oven Crinkles with Sea Salt. First time I've had the Alexia Crinkle Fries. I love all the other Alexia Products I've tried so I thought I would buy a bag of these. To prepare them I preheated the oven to 425 degrees F. Arranged the Fries in a single layer on a baking pan. Lightly seasoned them with Morton's Lite salt and Ground Black Pepper. Baked them for a total of 16 minutes, perfect Golden Brown! As the other Alexia Products, delicious! Another good one to have in the freezer. For Dessert later a Weight Watcher's Divine Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Bar.
Litehouse – Lite Blue Cheese Dressing
Made with 48% fewer calories than regular blue cheese dressing, this version tastes as delicious as ever. The handcrafted blue cheese crumbles and fresh buttermilk together create a taste you can feel good about. You won’t even miss those calories! Great taste with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

Ancient Grain Mini Naan Bread Turkey Pepperoni and Turkey Sausage Pizza
Dinner Tonight: Ancient Grain Mini Naan Bread Turkey Pepperoni and Turkey Sausage Pizza
For Breakfast this morning I Poached an Egg, toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I then served the Poached Egg on top of the English Muffin. 61 degrees and sunny today! But the rain is moving back in overnight and for the next 2 days. Certain parts of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are flooded from the Ohio River. I live North of Cincinnati and we've had a lot of rain but not a whole lot of flooding. So after Breakfast I went Menard's and Home Depot to price some outdoor yard items, getting ready for Spring! For Dinner tonight; Ancient Grain Mini Naan Bread Pizza – Turkey Pepperoni and Lean Turkey Sausage.
I had picked up a package of Stonefire Mini Naan Ancient Grain Bread at Meijer and the package in the freezer along with the Jennie - O Sausage Roll. I laid them in the fridge overnight to thaw. For my toppings for the Pizza I’m using Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Jennie – O Lean Turkey Sausages, Black Olives, Green Olives, Oscar Mayer Hickory Smoked Bacon Bits, Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, and Ragu Traditional Pizza Sauce.
I first Preheated the oven on 400 degrees. Next I grabbed a small skillet, sprayed it with Pam No Stick Cooking Spray, and heated it on medium heat. As the skillet was heating I opened up a roll of the Jennie - O Lean Turkey Sausage. I cut off a slice of it and crumbled up. Added it to the heated skillet and fried Sausage Crumbles. When they were browned and heated through removed them from the skillet into a small bowl until ready to use.
The oven was heated up and I got the Naan Bread ready. I used a small baking sheet, lined it with foil, and sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray. I lined the 4 Naan Breads up on the baking sheet. I then brushed a light coat of Extra Virgin Olive oil on the top of them. I then baked then for about 2 minutes. Pulled the sheet out of the oven and let the Naan Bread cool for 5 minutes.
When the Bread cooled I added the toppings on top. I started with the Ragu Pizza Sauce. Next slices of Hormel Turkey Pepperoni. Then the Jennie – O Turkey Sausage Crumbles, next the Black and Green Sliced Olives, Oscar Mayer Bacon Bits, and finally the Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Slid the baking sheet back into the oven to bake.
I baked the Naan Bread Pizzas for about 8 minutes, until the ingredients had heated through and Cheese melted. Pulled the baking sheet from the oven and let the Pizzas cool for 3 minutes. With the first bite I knew the Naan Bread was a perfect Pizza Crust! The Crust had excellent taste and baked up perfect. Then with all my toppings had some great Pizzas. Plus a lot fewer calories and carbs than normal Pizza Pies. I’ll have to get a couple of packs of the Stonefire Mini Naan Ancient Grain Bread and keep them in the freezer. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Coke Zero to drink.
Ancient Grain Mini Naan
Made with ancient grains, quinoa, spelt, buckwheat, kamut and a touch of honey! These sweeter,
smaller naan are sized just right to fit in your toaster. Perfect for breakfast and snack time. 4 per pack.

Healthy Shellfish Recipes
Find healthy, delicious shellfish recipes including crab, shrimp and lobster. Healthier recipes, from
the food and nutrition experts at EatingWell.
Lobster and Corn Chowder
The trick to making this healthy lobster chowder recipe have tons of rich flavor is to start with great fish stock. (The best is often in the freezer case at the supermarket.) Then cook the lobsters in the stock to intensify its flavor. There is no flour added in this healthy soup, so it's lighter than a typical creamy chowder—plus it's gluten-free.............
Angry Lobster
In this lobster recipe, pieces of lobster are roasted in a very hot oven with white wine, herbs and crushed red pepper to make a spicy sauce. The angry in the name most likely comes from the hot pepper, but some say cutting up the lobsters sets the tone for this dish. Serve with crusty bread to sop up the sauce and plenty of fresh napkins.............
Scallops with Radicchio-Apple Slaw
The secret to getting a nice golden-brown sear on your scallops is to buy ones that are labeled dry. That means they haven't been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), a preservative that helps them retain water, which prevents them from browning well. Serve with roasted potatoes for a complete meal........

Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries
Dinner Tonight: Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries
To start the morning of I made some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Heated up some Meijer Diced Ham, fried an Egg Sunnyside Up, made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I made a bed of the Hashbrowns in a bow and sprinkled some Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese.
Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns then put the Sunnyside Up Egg on to top it off. Well the rain has finally let up around here but there's a lot of local flooding and the Ohio River is way over it's banks. After Breakfast I headed up to the local Kroger to pick up a couple of items. Then stopped by McDonald's and picked up Breakfast for Mom and Dad. Mom went on to Church and stayed home and kept an eye on Dad. Did a couple of loads of laundry while she was gone. After Mom got back I had Lunch and then headed out to Walmart and Meijer to check out prices for Wood Chips and Weed Killer Fertilizer. Getting ready for Spring! I'll check out Menard's and Home Depot tomorrow. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries.
To prepare the Sandwiches I’ll need; Boar’s Head Sweet Slice Ham, Sargento Reduced Fat Swiss
Cheese, French’s Yellow Mustard, Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil, and Goldminer California Sourdough Bread. I used the flat top Griddle to grill it with. I sprayed the griddle with a very light coat of Pam Cooking Spray and spread about 1/2 tablespoon of Blue Bonnet Light Butter on it. Heated it on medium heat. I also turned the oven on at 425 degrees, for the Fries.
While the griddle was heating I got the Sandwich ready to grill. Took a slice of the Sour Dough Bread and topped it with some of the Kraft Mayo, the Boar’s Head Ham, the Sargento Swiss, French’s
Mustard, and added the top slice of the Sour Dough Bread. I then Buttered the bottom and top halves of the Bread with Blue Bonnet Butter. With the griddle heated I grilled my Sandwich. Grilled the bottom half just over 3 minutes, then flipped it over and grilled the other side about 2 1/2 minutes. Until both sides were golden brown! What a Sandwich, Sour Dough Bread just makes everything that much better!
I had already preheated the oven, so as the griddle was heating I baked my Fries, I’m using Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Shoestring Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. It’s an easy prepared but hot and filling meal. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
Boar’s Head Sweet Slice Boneless Smoked Ham
With natural juices.
Enjoy the exceptional flavor of a traditional bone-in ham without the bone. Available in the Deli
retail case as a center of the plate item or at the Service Deli sliced by the pound for a sandwich of note.

Mom went on to Church and stayed home and kept an eye on Dad. Did a couple of loads of laundry while she was gone. After Mom got back I had Lunch and then headed out to Walmart and Meijer to check out prices for Wood Chips and Weed Killer Fertilizer. Getting ready for Spring! I'll check out Menard's and Home Depot tomorrow. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Grilled Ham and Swiss on Sour Dough Bread w/ Baked Fries.
To prepare the Sandwiches I’ll need; Boar’s Head Sweet Slice Ham, Sargento Reduced Fat Swiss
Cheese, French’s Yellow Mustard, Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil, and Goldminer California Sourdough Bread. I used the flat top Griddle to grill it with. I sprayed the griddle with a very light coat of Pam Cooking Spray and spread about 1/2 tablespoon of Blue Bonnet Light Butter on it. Heated it on medium heat. I also turned the oven on at 425 degrees, for the Fries.
While the griddle was heating I got the Sandwich ready to grill. Took a slice of the Sour Dough Bread and topped it with some of the Kraft Mayo, the Boar’s Head Ham, the Sargento Swiss, French’s
Mustard, and added the top slice of the Sour Dough Bread. I then Buttered the bottom and top halves of the Bread with Blue Bonnet Butter. With the griddle heated I grilled my Sandwich. Grilled the bottom half just over 3 minutes, then flipped it over and grilled the other side about 2 1/2 minutes. Until both sides were golden brown! What a Sandwich, Sour Dough Bread just makes everything that much better!
I had already preheated the oven, so as the griddle was heating I baked my Fries, I’m using Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Shoestring Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. It’s an easy prepared but hot and filling meal. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
Boar’s Head Sweet Slice Boneless Smoked Ham
With natural juices.
Enjoy the exceptional flavor of a traditional bone-in ham without the bone. Available in the Deli
retail case as a center of the plate item or at the Service Deli sliced by the pound for a sandwich of note.

One of America's Favorites - Chili Burger
Chili Burger with Fries |
A chili burger (also known as a chili size, or simply size, stemming from "hamburger size" is a type of hamburger. It consists of a hamburger, with the patty topped with chili con carne. It is often served open-faced, and sometimes the chili is served alongside the burger rather than on top. The chili may be served alone, or with cheese, onions, or occasionally tomatoes as garnishes.
Chili burgers appear to have been invented in the 1920s by Thomas M. "Ptomaine Tommy" DeForest, who founded a sawdust-floored all-night restaurant, "Ptomaine Tommy's", located in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. Ptomaine Tommy's was open from around 1919 to 1958, where his chili burger was referred to as "size", and chopped onions as "flowers" or "violets".
The term size for a chili burger arguably derives from the portion size of the chili used at Ptomaine Tommy's. Ptomaine Tommy "had two ladles, a large and a small" with which to serve his chili, whether smothered on top of the burger or in a bowl; originally the ordering lingo used by his patrons was "hamburger size" vs. "steak size", but later simplified to "size" and "oversize". The use of the shorthand term "size" for burger-size portion of chili (in a bowl or on a burger) then gained currency throughout Los Angeles. Ptomaine Tommy was forced to close his restaurant August 10, 1958 and sell his property to satisfy creditors, and he died just a week later. His service to the community and his invention was noted by resolution of the California State Senate that same year. Food author John T. Edge considers the invention the milestone that marks the start of "traceable history of burgers in LA", a first step to what he considers the "baroque" character of the Los Angeles hamburger scene. By interviewing former customers and friends decades after the fact, columnist Jack Smith wrote a definitive article in 1974 about DeForest and the dish that he had invented which became a very important part of the history of Los Angeles. What helped spread the popularity of this is dish was Deforest's diverse clientel which included doctors coming off the late shift at the local county hospital, fight fans on their way home after attending matches at the Olympic Auditorium, and people associated with the Hollywood film industry.
The Carolina Burger is a regional variant of the chili burger served with coleslaw, mustard and chopped onions. Common in local restaurants in the Carolinas, it is also periodically offered at Wendy's restaurants as the Carolina Classic.
Several US food chains specialize in chili burgers. One of these is Original Tommy's, which dates to 1946. Another is Wienerschnitzel, dating back to 1961. At one time Bob's Big Boy restaurants in California served a dish named "chili size", a serving of chili over a hamburger patty in a bowl.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!
Buying Avocados......
Ripe fresh avocados that yield to gentle pressure should be eaten within a day or two. For events, a four to five days out, purchase firm avocados instead. Unripe, firm or green fruit can take four to five days to ripen at room temperature, perfect for celebrations that are a few days out.

Leftovers - Baked Turkey Meatballs and Rotini Pasta w/ Baked Multi Grain Bread
Dinner Tonight:Leftovers - Baked Turkey Meatballs and Rotini Pasta w/ Baked Multi Grain Bread
To start the morning of I made some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Heated up some Meijer Diced Ham, fried an Egg Sunnyside Up, made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I made a bed of the Hashbrowns in a bow and sprinkled some Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese.
Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns then put the Sunnyside Up Egg on to top it off. Well the rain has finally let up around here but there's a lot of local flooding and the Ohio River is way over it's banks. After Breakfast I headed up to the local Kroger to pick up a couple of items. Then stopped by McDonald's and picked up Breakfast for Mom and Dad. Mom went on to Church and stayed home and kept an eye on Dad. Did a couple of loads of laundry while she was gone. After Mom got back I had Lunch and then headed out to Walmart and Meijer to check out prices for Wood Chips and Weed Killer Fertilizer. Getting ready for Spring! I'll check out Menard's and Home Depot tomorrow. For Dinner tonight its Leftovers - Baked Turkey Meatballs and Rotini Pasta w/ Baked Multi Grain Bread. I heated up the leftovers from last night's meal. I also left the original post from yesterday for directions and ingredients of the dish.
You can make any Meal healthier by using healthier ingredients. That includes Meatballs and Pasta! I’ll be using Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs Kroger finally started having these back in stock!
The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are some of the best I’ve found, fantastic taste and they’re 190 calories and 6 carbs for 3 large Meatballs. For the Sauce I’m using LaRosa’s Original Pasta Sauce. Then for the Rotini Pasta I’ll be using Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Rotini. For the added Cheese topping I’m using Sargento Off the Block Mozzarella Cheese and Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese. The Bread is River Road Bakehouse Multi Grain Bread. I’ve been buying this from Meijer the last few months and it’s our favorite Baked Bread.
I first turned the oven on to 400 degrees. As I said, for the Meatballs I’m using my favorite,
Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. Kroger finally started having these back in stock! The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are some of the best I’ve found, fantastic taste and they’re 190 calories and 6 carbs for 3 large Meatballs.
I’ll be cooking them in LaRosa’s Original Pasta Sauce, one of my favorites! The Sauce goes great on Pasta, Pizza, or as a Dipping sauce. I grabbed a Sauce Pan, sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray, added the Sauce to it, and heated on medium low heat. As the Sauce started to heat up I added the Turkey Meatballs, stirred until covered with the Sauce. Cooked them for about 7 minutes and then reduced the heat to low until I was ready to use them.
For the Rotini Pasta I’m using my favorite, Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Rotini. Easy to prepare; I used a large sauce pan and added 1 1/2 quarts of water and Salt and brought it to a rapid boil. Added the Pasta and brought it back to a boil. Cooked uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring often. Drained the Pasta and put it into the Baking Dish. Then Seasoned the Rotini with 2 teaspoons of Extra Light Olive Oil, some McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, and Kraft Grated Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese.
Next I topped the Rotini with the LaRosa’s Sauce and Turkey Meatballs. Sprinkled more of the Grated Parm Cheese followed by a layer of Sargento Mozzarella Cheese. The oven was preheated at 400 degrees so it was ready to bake. As the Past Dish was baking I also baked a loaf of RiverRoad Bake House Multi Grain Oval Loaf Bread.
The Meatballs and Rotini came out incredible! The Turkey Meatballs, Rotini Pasta, Cheese, and
Sauce combined to make one delicious Dish! Plus Mom and Dad both enjoyed it. Neither is big on Pasta but had 2 servings of it!. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!
Fresh Herbs or Dried Herbs.......
Fresh herbs can lose flavor when exposed to heat for long periods to time. For dishes that require a longer baking time of 1-2 hours, opt for dried herbs, which can withstand the heat.

Baked Turkey Meatballs and Rotini Pasta w/ Baked Multi Grain Bread
Dinner Tonight: Baked Turkey Meatballs and Rotini Pasta w/ Baked Multi Grain Bread
For Breakfast this morning I'm having another of the Buffalo Fillet Mignon. I love these SayersBrook
4 oz. Bison Fillet Mignon! To prepare it I just seasoned it with some McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. I then grabbed a small skillet, sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray, and added a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Heated it on medium heat. Fried the first side 3 minutes and flipped it over and cooked it another 2 minutes. It came out a perfect medium rare! It was so tender and juicy. Then I also fried up a Sunny Side Egg and toasted a couple of slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. Sure tough to beat a Steak and Egg Breakfast! Also as usual, had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea.
Rain, Thunderstorms, and a high of 56 degrees for a high. We have a lot of flooding across the area.So its a another indoor day. Did some cleaning; Turned the oven on and let clean, straightened up the freezer, and straightened up the pantry. After that just kicked back and watched some College Basketball. For Dinner tonight its Baked Turkey Meatballs and Rotini Pasta w/ Baked Multi Grain Bread.
You can make any Meal healthier by using healthier ingredients. That includes Meatballs and Pasta! I'll be using Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs Kroger finally started having these back in stock!
The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are some of the best I’ve found, fantastic taste and they’re 190 calories and 6 carbs for 3 large Meatballs. For the Sauce I'm using LaRosa’s Original Pasta Sauce. Then for the Rotini Pasta I'll be using Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Rotini. For the added Cheese topping I'm using Sargento Off the Block Mozzarella Cheese and Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese. The Bread is River Road Bakehouse Multi Grain Bread. I’ve been buying this from Meijer the last few months and it’s our favorite Baked Bread.
As I said, for the Meatballs I’m using my favorite, Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. Kroger
finally started having these back in stock! The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are some of the best I’ve found, fantastic taste and they’re 190 calories and 6 carbs for 3 large Meatballs.
I’ll be cooking them in LaRosa’s Original Pasta Sauce, one of my favorites! The Sauce goes great on
Pasta, Pizza, or as a Dipping sauce. I grabbed a Sauce Pan, sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray, added the Sauce to it, and heated on medium low heat. As the Sauce started to heat up I added the Turkey Meatballs, stirred until covered with the Sauce. Cooked them for about 7 minutes and then reduced the heat to low until I was ready to use them.
For the Rotini Pasta I’m using my favorite, Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Rotini. Easy to prepare; I used a large sauce pan and added 1 1/2 quarts of water and Salt and brought it to a rapid boil. Added the Pasta and brought it back to a boil. Cooked uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring often. Drained the Pasta and put it into the Baking Dish. Then Seasoned the Rotini with 2 teaspoons of Extra Light Olive Oil, some McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, and Kraft Grated Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese.
Next I topped the Rotini with the LaRosa’s Sauce and Turkey Meatballs. Sprinkled more of the Grated Parm Cheese followed by a layer of Sargento Mozzarella Cheese. The oven was preheated at 400 degrees so it was ready to bake. As the Past Dish was baking I also baked a loaf of RiverRoad Bake House Multi Grain Oval Loaf Bread.
The Meatballs and Rotini came out incredible! The Turkey Meatballs, Rotini Pasta, Cheese, and
Sauce combined to make one delicious Dish! Plus Mom and Dad both enjoyed it. Neither is big on Pasta but had 2 servings of it!. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
