Ham and Cheese Panini w/ Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese

Dinner Tonight: Ham and Cheese Panini w/ Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese



Ham, Sargento U

Breezy but at least it's sunny out today, a high in the low 50's. Went to bank and on to Walmart and Kroger. I picked up a few items at Walmart for myself and then Mom had a small list of items she wanted from Kroger that I picked up for her. Then a lot of computer updates  and virus scans. In case you haven't heard there was a big security breach that could effect a lot of on-line users. Everyone should check their on-line accounts. For dinner tonight I prepared a Ham and Cheese Panini w/ Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese.

For my Panini I used Kroger Brand Private Selection Off- the Bone Smoked Ham. One of my favorite packaged sliced Hams. It has a really great taste to it. I also used Sargento Ultra Thin Pepper-Jack Cheese, Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo, and a Flatout Foldit 100% Whole Wheat with Flax Flatbread. Used my Panini Sandwich Press. I love using this, I make a lot of Panini for Lunch. Made the Sandwich and put it in the Press for about 4 minutes and it was ready! The Ham, Pepper-Jack, and Mayo are a great combination for a Panini.








I had been wanting some Mac and Cheese for a while now so tonight my side with the Panini was Mac and Cheese. 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. I left all the product info on the Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese at the end of the post. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.

Today's Menu: Mozzarella &Turkey Sausage Flatbread Pizza

A  hot fresh made Flatbread Pizza just sounded good on this cold and blustery Saturday. I made a Mozzarella &Turkey Sausage Flatbread Pizza. I used Flatout Flatbread Thin Crust Flatbread Heritage Wheat as my Flatbread. Love this Flatbread, it's low in carbs and calories, browns up real nice, and has a fantastic pizza crust taste.

For my toppings I used Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Slices, sliced Black Olives, Hormel Sliced Turkey Pepperoni, sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms, and Jennie - O Spicy Turkey Breakfast Sausage. Everything combined makes one fantastic Pizza! A great alternative to high calorie and carb Pizza's. This one's right around 350 calories and it's missing none of the taste of regular Pizza! For dessert later a bowl of Breyer's Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Smucker's Sugar Free Hot Fudge Topping.

Today's Menu: Flatbread Pizza

"Ready for the oven"

Homemade Flatbread pizza for dinner tonight! While at Walmart I came across a new item from Flatout Bread, Flatout Flatbread Thin Crust Flatbreads Heritage Wheat. I love all their products all are fresh, low calorie, and low carb, and they taste great! An entire Flatbread Pie/Crust is only 150 calories and 27 carbs! That's fantastic for those watching your calories or those with diabetes. I've left the link to Flatout's web site at the end of the post along with another link that has Flatbread Pizza recipes. I used Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce for my sauce. Nice thick sauce that's well seasoned, 40 calories and 7 carbs per serving (1/2 Cup).

For my toppings I used sliced Black Olives, Hormel Sliced Turkey Pepperoni, Mezzetta Deli Style Tamed Sliced Jalapenos, and topped it all with some fresh grated Dutch Gouda. It turned out fantastic! The flatbread toasted up just perfect. I baked it at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. I've found a new pizza, plus it's a healthier version. For dessert later a bought a small block of Kraft 2% Sharp Cheddar so I'll slice some off to cracker size pieces and have the Cheese on Ritz Whole Grain Crackers.

Ingredients:

Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Diced Tomatoes in Tomato Juice, Sugar, Olive Oil, Salt, Spices, Granulated Garlic.

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Chipotle London Broil Wrap



I used the leftover London Broil from the other day and I had the begining of some fantastic Wraps! I sliced the remaining London Broil into thin slices and wrapped them in paper towels and warmed them up in the microwave. For the Wrap I used Flatout Light Italian Flat bread. Love these they are 100% Whole Wheat , High Fiber, and only 90 calories and 16 carbs, I left the info and web link at the end of the post. I topped the Steak with JB’s Fat Boy Chipotle Sauce, sliced Deli Jalapenos, sliced Black Olives, Lettuce, Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream, fresh Grated Havarti Cheese and fresh grated Smoked Dutch Gouda. After assembling the wrap and folding it I put it in the microwave for 35 seconds. The lean and delicious Steak along with heat of the Jalapenos, Chipotle Sauce, and the fresh and creaminess of the Smoked Gouda Cheese and Havarti Cheese just makes an unbelievable Wrap! For dessert later a Mango-Cheesecake Parfait that I had made yesterday. You can find the recipe for this on an earlier post from today.

Lunch - Chipotle Bison Wrap

I had a Chipotle Bison Wrap for lunch today. I used the other Bison Sirloin I had grilled the other day for the Wrap. After warming I sliced thin and layered it on the Wrap. For the Wrap I used Flatout Light Original Flat bread. Love these they are 100% Whole Wheat , High Fiber, and only 90 calories and 16 carbs! I topped the Bison with JB's Fat Boy Chipotle Sauce, sliced Deli Jalapenos, sliced Black Olives and fresh grated Smoked Dutch Gouda. Unfortunately I was out of lettuce which would have went great with this. After assembling the wrap and folding it I put it in the microwave for 35 seconds. The lean and delicious Bison along with heat of the Jalapenos, Chipotle Sauce, and the fresh and creaminess of the Smoked Gouda Cheese just makes an unbelievable Wrap! Gotta Love That Bison!

Thin Crust BBQ Chicken Pizza!

Today's Menu: Thin Crust BBQ Chicken Pizza



Pizza Night! Thin Crust Low Carb Pizza night! I used Flatout Light  Flatbread for my Pizza Pie. I used a Rotisserie Chicken I had purchased from Walmart and pulled all the Chicken and shredded it. In the oven after lightly oiling the Flatbread I heated it at 350 degrees for 7 minutes.

The Chicken with the J B's Fat Boy Sticky Stuff BBQ Sauce is a delicious combo and the Flatbread makes a fantastic thin crust pizza.

Chicken Wrap for Lunch

Lunch: Chicken Wrap


Had a healthy and delicious lunch this afternoon. I had a Chicken Breast leftover from the other night so I warmed it up for my wrap. I then sliced it into thin pieces and placed them in the wrap. The wrap I used was a new one and one I'll be using quite often from now on, the Flatout Light Flatbread. It's 100% Whole Wheat and it's only 90 calories and 16 carbs! These would make a great Thin Crust Pizza, looking forward to making that. I left the link and info for the Flatbread at the end of the post. I added Fat Boy JB's Sticky Stuff Sauce to the Chicken to give that delicious BBQ taste and added Shredded Lettuce and sliced Black Olives also. This made one delicious lunch!
