Smoked Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Vegetarian Baked Beans

Dinner Tonight: Smoked Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Vegetarian Baked Beans





Woke up to about 3" or more of snow, with more on the way! Temperature wise it's not too bad out, in the 20's. It is Winter. For Breakfast I fried some slices of Boar's Head Black Forest Ham and served it on toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread and topped the Ham with a slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese. Gave Mom a hand with a couple of loads of laundry and then it was outside to clear what snow I could off the drive and the cars. My neighbor brought over his Snow Blower to get most of it cleared for us. For dinner tonight I prepared a Smoked Turkey Sausage Dogs w/ Vegetarian Baked Beans.





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.




Then for a side dish I prepared a 16 oz. can of Bush’s Vegetarian Baked Beans. I had tried these in a dish I prepared a while back and fell in love with the flavor and taste of the Vegetarian Beans! Only 130 calories, 0 fat, and 24 net carbs per serving. To prepare the; just open the can and empty the Beans Into Saucepan. Heat To Simmer until heated through. Love these Beans, becoming my favorite real quick. A simple but delicious dinner tonight! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Jennie – O Turkey Frank Cincinnati Style Cheese Coneys

Today’s Menu: Jennie – O Turkey Frank Cincinnati Style Cheese Coneys

Wow what a gorgeous Fall day out there today, sunny and about 70 degrees! Did a little housework, worked out, and hit the outdoors! Got the cart out and worked on our drainage problem, toured the neighborhood a bit, spent some time down at the lake and just enjoyed the beautiful day. I had planned to grill out but the tank was empty, bad mistake on my part. So it was cooking indoors and I prepared, Jennie – O Turkey Frank Cincinnati Style Cheese Coneys.

I used the Jennie – O Turkey Franks. I boiled them, it took about 5 minutes and they were ready, plump and delicious. I opened up a can of Skyline Original Chili and heated that up for my Chili Topping. I served everything on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Hot Dog Bun. Then for my toppings I used the Skyline Chili, French’s Yellow Mustard, Frank's Hot Sauce, and Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese. Put it altogether and you have a prime example of the World Famous Cincinnati Style Cheese Coney! Had a small side of some Skyline Oyster Crackers along with a Diet Dr. Pepper that I had let chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Love Dr. Pepper when it sits in the freezer and ice just starts forming on the top. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage W/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage (On Bun) W/ Baked Fries

Another one of those long and frustrating days around here. Spent most of the day on the phone with doctors and Hoveround. After 5 years they replace my Hoveround Mobility Chair with a new one, Medicare law. With my old doctor that approved everything retired I have to go through the new doctor and it hasn't been easy! It's been one foul up after another. I finally got everything worked out about 3:00 this afternoon, I'll shut-up about it now. Had to vent a bit. Anyway for dinner I prepared a Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage (On Bun) W/ Baked Fries.








I used Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage. I took one of the Sausages and cut it in half. Using a medium size skillet, I sprayed it with Pam cooking Spray, added a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and heated it on medium. When the skillet was heated up I added the Turkey Sausage. I cooked it until the skin casing started to brown and then flipped it over and continued cooking for another 4 minutes. When browned and heated through I topped it with French's Spicy Brown Mustard and served it on an Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun. Love these Sausages, plump and full of flavor! I also baked some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Mousse.

It's been a long night and day. Battling those Phantom Pains again! It started around 3:00 am and hasn't let up through out the day today. The pain is almost unbearable sometimes.

I used Joan of Arc Spicy Chili Beans  and added Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce, Crumbled Turkey Bacon Bits, Splenda Brown Sugar, and a few dashes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I left the full recipe at the end of the post. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
