Dinner Tonight: Grilled Pastrami and Swiss Sandwich w/ Italian Pasta Salad




I just had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. I didn't want anything too heavy I had to be at the Hospital for a EMG/Nerve test at 8:30 this morning. They want to make sure my Diabetes 2 isn't creating any nerve damage. I also had blood work done. Beautiful day out today, mostly sunny and 65 degrees. Got the cart out and did some yard work and later took a spin in the cart around the neighborhood. So good to be able to get out again without having to bundle up! For Dinner tonight its a Grilled Pastrami and Swiss Sandwich w/ Italian Pasta Salad.



To make my Grilled Pastrami and Swiss Sandwich I’ll be using; French’s Spicy Brown Mustard, Boar’s Head Top Round Pastrami, Boar's Head Swiss Cheese, Blue Bonnet Light Butter, and Klosterman Rye Bread to make my Sandwich.









To prepare it I started by buttering the outside half of a slice of the Rye Bread. Next spread the Mayo on the bottom slice of Bread, next layered the Pastrami, spread the Brown Mustard, and added a slice of the Swiss. Added my top half of the sliced bread, buttering the outside of the slice. I then got out a large skillet, heated it up on medium heat and lightly coated it with a 1/2 pat of Butter. When the Butter was melted I added my sandwich. Grilled it on both sides until it was golden brown and the Swiss Cheese melted. Love these Grilled Sandwiches!



To go with my Grilled Sandwich I had prepared some Italian Pasta Salad, made about noon today. A Light and tasty dish that includes Ronzoni Smart Taste Rotini Pasta, Black Olives, Green Olives, Kalamata Olives, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Anchovy Paste, Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese, Kraft Zesty Italian Fat Free Dressing, McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, and topped with Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese. Boiled the Pasta according to the box and added all the ingredients and tossed until well mixed. Then refrigerated until ready to use. Really enjoyed the Dinner tonight of a Grilled Pastrami and Swiss Sandwich along with some Italian Pasta Salad. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Italian Pasta Salad w/ Polska Kielbasa Turkey Sausage.

Dinner Tonight: Italian Pasta Salad w/ Polska Kielbasa Turkey Sausage

Jumped in the car last night, about 9:15, and went up the road to a local country club that sits on a

huge hill. It's one of the tallest points here in the area. Parked the car and watched several different Firework Shows going on. From up there you could see 5 or 6 Shows going on at the same time. It was a clear night so it was a great show! For my breakfast this morning I had an Egg Beater's Egg White Cheese Omelet, Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, and my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Now this is the way to start the day! Not much going on today. Did a few chores here around the house and that was about it. Sofa City with the remote after that. For dinner tonight I prepared an Italian Pasta Salad w/ Polska Kielbasa Turkey Sausage.

I made this after Breakfast, it’s always better to prepare it and let it chill in the fridge for as long as possible. To make this I'll need; Butterball Polska Kielbasa Turkey Sausage (1 sausage sliced into bite size pieces), Ronzoni Garden Delight Tri Color Rotini Pasta, Black Olives, Green Olives, Kalamata Olives, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni (1 serving 17 slices), Anchovies (4 canned fillets chopped), Kraft Reduced Fat Shredded Parmesan Cheese, Kraft Zesty Italian Fat Free Dressing,  McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, Sea Salt, and Texas Toast Cheese and Garlic Croutons (for topping).

To prepare the Pasta; Boil the Pasta according to the box; drain the Pasta and let it cool. Once cooled add the Pasta to a large bowl and add all the ingredients and fold in everything but the Sausage. Put the Pasta Salad in a plastic bowl with a lid and set it in the fridge until your ready to use it.




When it was getting time for dinner I cooked the Sausage. To prepare the Butterball Polska Kielbasa Turkey Sausage; In a large skillet coated with cooking spray add 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, heat on medium heat. As the skillet is heating slice the sausage into bite size pieces. Add the sausage to the heated skillet and cook, turning the slices several times to get even cooking. Cook a total of about 12 minutes. I love these Butterball Turkey Sausages, always delicious with just an incredible seasoning. Remove the sausage from the pan into a bowl and set aside.

Got the Pasta Salad out of the fridge and put all into a medium size bowl. Added a couple of shakes of the  Kraft Zesty Italian Fat Free Dressing and a sprinkle of Kraft Reduced Fat Shredded Parmesan Cheese. To serve make a bed of the pasta Salad in a bowl and top with Croutons and the Butterball Polska Kielbasa Turkey Sausage. Really enjoy this Pasta Salad, refreshing and so easy to make and with the added  Kielbasa Turkey Sausage kicks it another notch! For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar.

Turkey Meatball Mini Sub w/ Italian Pasta Salad

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Meatball Mini Sub w/ Italian Pasta Salad




Not much going on around the house today. Rained most of the day, but that beats cold weather and snow! Sunny and 55 degrees tomorrow they say. Ran a few programs on the computer and that's been about it. For dinner tonight it's a Turkey Meatball Mini Sub w/ Italian Pasta Salad.





I used the leftover Honeysuckle White Fresh Italian Style Turkey Meatballs from last night's dinner. I’ve been using the Honeysuckle White Fresh Italian Style Turkey Meatballs for quite a few years now. The Meatballs are good size, always fresh, meaty, and have a fantastic taste and their 190 calories and 5 net carbs for 3 Meatballs. Plus they're a perfect size for Hoagie or Hot Dog Buns. For my Pasta Sauce I used the LaRosa’s Original Sauce. A local favorite and still one of the best Sauces I’ve ever had, it's got a perfect combination of a robust sauce with a hint of sweetness to it. For my Cheese I used a slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Provolone Cheese and for the Bun I used a Kroger Brand Wheat Hot Dog Bun. To assemble; open the Bun up, put the slice of Provolone Cheese on it, the Meatballs and Sauce, and top it with a few shakes of McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning. Love these Meatball Sandwiches!  






For a side I kept it light and made a Italian Pasta Salad. I made this yesterday, it's always better to prepare it a day ahead and let it chill in the fridge overnight. I used Ronzoni Garden Delight Tri Color Rotini Pasta. This is a light and tasty dish that includes the following ingredients; Ronzoni Garden Delight Tri Color Rotini Pasta, Black Olives, Green Olives, Kalamata Olives, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Anchovies, Kraft Shredded Parmesan, Kraft Zesty Italian Fat Free Dressing, and McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning. Boil the Pasta according to the box; drain the Pasta and let it cool. Once cooled add the Pasta to a large bowl and add all the ingredients, and fold in everything. Put the Pasta Salad in a plastic bowl with a lid and set it in the fridge until your ready to use it the next day. Really like this Pasta Salad, refreshing and so easy to make.

Grilled Marinated Italian Chicken Breast w/ Asparagus and...

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Marinated Italian Chicken Breast w/ Asparagus Bits, Carrots and Whole Grain Bread.

Found some beautiful skinless Amish Brand Chicken Breasts at the Kroger earlier today. I marinated them in Kraft Free Italian Dressing and refrigerated them for 2 hours. Seasoned them with Sea Salt and Lemon Pepper and grilled them 5 minutes per side. What is it about grilling that makes everything taste better! As sides had sliced Carrots, Asparagus Bits, and Aunt Millie's Whole Grain Sliced Bread. For dessert later this evening I'll have Mango slices on top of Breyer's Carb Smart Ice Cream.
