Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Shoestring Fries

Dinner Tonight: Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Shoestring Fries




Wow, I was up at 6:00 this morning and rolled out to fetch the morning papers and it was like walking into a steam bath! Today will be in the 90's and extremely humid. So for Breakfast I prepared a Poached Egg, fried 3 slices of Jennie - O Turkey Bacon, toasted a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. If you live around here in West Chester and you are looking for a Pest Control I highly recommend Affordable Pest Control in Fairfield, Ohio. We had a problem with Carpenter Ants and they wiped them out for us, great job guys. They did a follow up spray for us this afternoon. So the humidity kept me indoors today. I don't mind the heat but can't deal with the humidity. For dinner tonight I prepared a Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Shoestring Fries.



I used the healthy and delicious Jennie O Lean Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. I had it in the freezer so I let it thaw overnight in the fridge. I pan fried it, using Pam w/ Olive Oil Cooking Spray and no oil needed. Heated the pan on medium and cooked a total of about 17 minutes, turning the Sausages occasionally. They fry up plump and brown, as always Jennie – O Products always have that fresh taste to them. The Sausages have 160 calories and 0 carbs per Sausage. I served it on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun and topped with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard. Love these, thank you Jennie – O!




Then for a side I baked some Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. I normally have Ore Ida Crinkle Fries but I wanted to change it up a bit so I’m going with the Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries again. The more I have these the more I'm liking them! Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 18 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Shoestring Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For dessert later a Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunk Cup.

Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries




I made Skillet Potatoes and Ham for Breakfast. I used 1 package of Simply Potatoes Steakhouse

Seasoned Diced Potatoes and a package of Meijer Diced Ham to prepare it. Just cook the Potatoes according to the package instructions and with about 5 minutes of cooking time left add the Diced Ham. We really enjoy this for Breakfast. After Breakfast I headed to Walmart; needed some printing ink, copy paper, and Bigelow Green Tea. Back home did some light cleaning and then good friend of mine from High School, who is town this week from Arizona, stopped over for a while. Always good catching up with him, still one of my best friends after all these years! Then after he left I went to the hospital to see Dad, he was in much better spirit today. He was being released from the hospital and on to a rehab center for about 2 weeks. So for dinner tonight its, Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries. And some good news came in as I was preparing dinner, my biop of the mole they removed came back and it was cancer free!

I used the healthy and delicious Jennie O Lean Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. I pan fried it, using Pam w/ Olive Oil Cooking Spray and no oil needed.

Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Today’s Menu: Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries





For Breakfast I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin that I topped with some
Smucker's Sugarless Blackberry Jam. Also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Went to Kroger up the road for a few items, stopped and got gas, and back home. What a beautiful Spring like day out today! Mostly sunny and high in the 60's! They say 70 degrees tomorrow, too nice! Cleaned up around the outside of the house and then got the cart out of the shed and took it for a ride a while this afternoon. So glad it's warmer so I can get the cart out. For dinner tonight I prepared Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.
 



I used the healthy and delicious Jennie O Lean Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. I pan fried it, using

Pam w/ Olive Oil Cooking Spray and no oil needed. Heated the pan on medium and cooked a total of about 17 minutes, turning the Sausages occasionally. They fry up plump and brown, as always Jennie – O Products always have that fresh taste to them. The Sausages have 160 calories and 0 carbs per Sausage. I served it on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun and topped with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard. As I was preparing the Sausages I had the window open in the kitchen. A local handyman that lives here in the park was doing some repairs on our shed outside and commented how good that what ever was fixing smelled. I ended up making one for him also and he said that it was the best tasting Sausage he had ever had! So Jennie - O you have your newest fan!

Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries






For breakfast this morning I had a bowl of Cheerios Honey Nut Medley Crunch Whole Grain Oats. Outside today they predicted a 100% chance of rain, and they hit this forecast! It rained and rained and rained some more! So not much going on outside today. So I spent the better part of the afternoon cleaning the house; vacuum, dusting, cleaning out some living room and kitchen drawers. After that watching some NFL Football. For dinner tonight I prepared a Jennie – O Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.





I used Jennie O Lean Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. I pan fried it, using Pam w/ Olive Oil Cooking Spray and no oil needed. Heated the pan on medium and cooked a total of about 17 minutes, turning the Sausages occasionally. They fry up plump and brown, as always Jennie – O Products always have that fresh taste to them.

Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries



Cloudy and a little cooler today but not too bad. Had a light breakfast, Healthy Life Whole Grain
English Muffin topped with Smucker's Sugarless Blackberry Jam. Gave Mom a hand in doing some laundry. Then I went outside to get some clean up work done. Did some trimming of a huge vine we have and got the leaf blower out and cleaned around our deck, driveway, and ramp. Love getting out like that and doing what I can. Being outside sure beats being in a store on "Black Friday".  Seen on the news today people lined up and fighting for sale items, not  for me. For dinner tonight I prepared a Jennie – O Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Crinkle Fries.




We have plenty of leftovers from last night's feast but I just wasn't in the mood for leftovers. So as

fate would have it I opened the freezer door up to look for something to prepare and out fell a package of 2 Jennie O Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. I set the bag in the fridge overnight to thaw. I love the Jennie O Lean Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages. I pan fried them, using Pam Spray and no oil, a total of about 17 minutes. They fry up excellent, and as all Jennie – O Products always have that fresh taste to them. The Sausages have 160 calories and 0 carbs per Sausage. I served it on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun and topped with French’s Spicy Brown Mustard. I prepared both sausages that was in the package and I'll have the other one for lunch tomorrow.





For a side I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries, served with a side of Hunt’s Ketchup. Also had a Diet Peach Snapple to drink. For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar.
