Bison BBQ Sandwiches w/ Ruffle Light Chips and a Snapple!

Today's Dinner: Bison BBQ Sandwiches w/ Ruffle Light Chips and a Snapple!

Well last night's delicious and tender Braised Buffalo Chuck Roast has turned into tonight's dinner of Sliced and Shredded Bison BBQ Sandwiches! The Buffalo is every bit as delicious as it was last night and it's even more tender if that's possible. Tonight it was Bison BBQ Sandwiches w/ Ruffle Light Chips and a Peach Tea Diet Snapple.



Preparing the Buffalo Bbq Sandwiches was very easy. After dinner last night I sliced up the remaining Roast, sealed it in a Glad Plastic Container and refrigerated it. To warm it up I took a medium frying pan and added the Buffalo then turned the heat on medium and warmed for about 10 minutes. To build the Sandwich I used Aunt Millies Light Whole Grain Sandwich Bun topped it with the sliced and shredded Buffalo and topped that off with JB's Fat Boy Chipotle BBQ Sauce! JB's Fat Boy has my votes for best BBQ Sauces, bar none. The Chipotle is one of their best. You've got sweetness and then you have heat and it combines for a perfect BBQ Sauce. I had a side of Ruffles Light Potato Chips, 90 Calories 17 Carbs and 0 Fat. Then as they say "To Wash Everything Down With" I had a bottle of Peach Tea Diet Snapple, 10 Calories and 0 Carbs. For dessert later this evening a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Chicken Marsala With Linguine and Mushrooms w/ Whole Grain Bread

Today's Menu: Progresso Kitchen Favorites Chicken Marsala With Linguine  andMushrooms w/ Whole Grain Bread

Tried another of the Progresso Kitchen Favorites tonight for dinner, Chicken Marsala With Linguine. I just had the Lasanga dinner last night and it was delicious so I was looking forward to this tonight. Like the other one it was easy to prepare and just as delicious! The dinner kit included Linguine Pasta, Marsala Sauce Seasoning, Marsala Cooking Wine, and Seasoned Flour. I just added the Boneless Chicken Breasts, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Mushrooms, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, and Hot Water. I've left the ingredients and full instructions at the bottom of the post. It's ready in about 20 minutes. Just boil your pasta, prepare the Chicken, and serve! There's 330 calories and 30 carbs.

The dinner came out mouth watering delicious! The Pasta was tender and the Chicken with the Mushrroms and Marsala Sauce and seasoning is incredible! I'm a huge sauce lover and this Marsala Sauce is one of the best I've had. These Progesso Kitchen Favorites are going to become part of the dinner menu's for us. We also had Aunt Millie's Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding.
