Arby's Ham and Cheese Sliders and Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Arby's Ham and Cheese Sliders and Baked Crinkle Fries





Mom wanted to go to Jungle Jim's International Market so this morning after I prepared us Breakfast

that's where we went. I love shopping at Jungle Jim's! There's always some different items every time you shop here. I picked up some Deli Meats and Cheese, Polenta, and some Seafood. Back home finished up some laundry for Mom and went to the rehab center to see Dad for a while. They told us at rehab that they tested his memory and he's lost about 50% of his memory. Only going to get worse with dementia. For dinner tonight Arby's Ham and Cheese Sliders and Baked Crinkle Fries.






Another on e of those days where I had dinner planned out and it just didn't work out. I was at the rehab with Dad longer than I thought I was going to be and when I left to come home I just didn't feel like cooking. So I had heard that Arby's Sliders were very good so I stopped there and picked up 2 of the Ham and Cheese Sliders. I opted to go with the Ham Slider over the Roast Beef, fewer calories. First time I tried these and really like them! Fantastic Slider Bun and excellent Ham. I've always loved the Arby's Ham sandwiches, just don't eat out often.





Then I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. These have a lot fewer calories, carbs, and fat than Arby's or any take-out Fries. I had a side of Hunt's Ketchup for dipping also. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

The Taste Test of Two New Items!

I've been seeing the commercials advertising the new McDonald's Mighty Wings and Arby's Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich and both looked soooo good I had to sample them! So for lunch today my Mom and Dad wanted to try them so I went out and bought Mom the Arby's Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich and Dad the McDonald's Mighty Wings, and I got a small sample of both.

Start with the McDonald's Mighty Wings; McD's got their self a winner with these wings! Nice breading and a great spicy taste. The wings were nice size and very meaty and you have a choice of a variety of dipping sauces.

Nutritional Info - McDonald's Mighty Wings - 3-piece - 3.3 oz (94g)
Calories - 290 (from Fat - 170)
Fat - 19g (Saturated Fat - 4g)
Sodium - 870mg
Carbs - 12g (Sugar - 0g)
Protein - 18g

Next the Arby's Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich; and another winner! Not only does this one look mouth-watering on TV but looks even better when buy one. The brisket is smoked for 13 hours making it nice and tender. Arby’s Smokehouse Brisket is piled high with slow-smoked beef brisket, topped with smoked Gouda cheese, crispy onions, BBQ sauce and mayo, and served on a toasted, bakery-style bun. I couldn’t believe how good it was! It was tender and went great with the BBQ sauce and Gouda which just melted in your mouth, and I love Gouda Cheese! But the bad part about it is the calories and carbs. It's high in both with 610 calories and 42 carbs. It is one good sandwich though.

So both new items I sampled were winners!
