Fried Shrimp w/ Cheddar Potato Bake and Sliced Italian Bread

Dinner Tonight: Fried Shrimp w/ Cheddar Potato Bake and Sliced Italian Bread






For Breakfast on this Sunday Morning I prepared a Scrambled Egg, heated up 2 Johnsonville Turkey

Breakfast Sausage Links, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread, and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Outside it's one of our hottest days in a while. 98 degrees and very humid. After Breakfast I went to Kroger for a couple of items and then stopped by McDonald's to pick up Breakfast for Mom, and stopped and filled her car up with gas. Gas is still around 2.89 a gallon around here. Mom went to Church and it house cleaning and laundry for me. Later I cleaned the oven and fridge. For Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Shrimp w/ Cheddar Potato Bake and Sliced Italian Bread



So for the Shrimp I used Meijer Brand Jumbo Shrimp. I had them in the freezer so I let them thaw overnight in the fridge. I love Shrimp and all Seafood. For the Shrimp; I started by rinsing the Shrimp off in cold water and letting it dry in a colander. Using a medium size skillet, that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and a 1 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil, that I heated on medium heat. I seasoned the Shrimp with Old Bay Seasoning and a sprinkle of Morton’s Lite Salt and added the Shrimp to the skillet. Cooked them 2 minutes per side, turning the Shrimp once. They came delicious!



For a side I prepared a Stouffer’s Cheddar Potato Bake. Another easy to prepare and delicious dish.
To prepare this one I’m using the microwave. It comes in a microwavable tray. I just slit the film cover on the tray and microwaved it for 6 minutes, Done! I love this side by Stouffer’s! Delicious Potato Dish, really like the bread crumb topping.








I was at Walmart yesterday afternoon and I bought a loaf of Sliced Italian Bread, couldn't resist buying a loaf it looked so fresh! Topped it with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop - Pop Corn and a Diet Trop A Rocka Snapple.

Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Italian Loaf Bread

Today's Menu: Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Baked Italian Loaf Bread

Being in a wheelchair in the rain is tough! But you have to go on and get what you have to do done. That was grocery shopping, errands, and visiting my Dad at the Rehab Center. So what better way to warm a cold and rainy day than Lasagna! I used Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna! It’s very easy to make as the dinner kit contains the Lasagna Pasta, Tomato Herb sauce, Ricotta Sauce Mix, and Grated Parmesan Cheese. I added 1 lb. Jennie – O Lean Ground Turkey, 1 Cup water, 2/3 Cup 2% Milk, 1 (8 oz.) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (2 Cups), 1 cup Shredded Dutch Gouda, sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (first time I added these) and I also added a bit more seasoning (McCormick Grinder Italian Herb). I combined the Mozzarella and Goda Cheese. Gouda is such a great tasting Cheese and is a perfect melting Cheese. Basically you just layer your ingredients in a 8″ square baking dish and cover and bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes and bake an additional 10 minutes uncovered. The product description along with full instructions are at the bottom of the post.


Prepared by the instructions the Lasagna is 390 calories and 24 carbs but I cut the calorie and the carb count down by using Honeysuckle White Extra Lean Ground Turkey instead of Beef and Sargento Reduced Fat 2% Mozzarella Cheese. The Lasagna came out delicious as usual! Everyone really loves this. The flavor as always is excellent. The Sauce was thick and well seasoned and the same for the pasta, perfect. I prepared a side of Market Side Fresh Italian Bread that I buttered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and then baked it at 400 degrees for 12 minutes. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding, 60 calories and 14 carbs.
