Baked Ham and Swiss Sub w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Baked Ham and Swiss Sub w/ Baked Fries





For Breakfast I made my 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

cooked the Potatoes according to the package instructions and with about 5 minutes of cooking time left add the Diced Ham.  I topped it with Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese and a Fried Egg Sunnyside Up. And Breakfast is served! Had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. A little better day out there than yesterday, high of 32 degrees and partly sunny. After Lunch I headed up to a local rehab center to see a friend of mine's father. He had lost part of his foot to Diabetes and was having a rough time. It was good seeing everyone, just under better circumstances next time! For Dinner tonight, a  Baked Ham and Swiss Sub w/ Baked Fries




For my Sub I'll need; Aunt Millie’s Deli Style Whole Grain Mini Sub Buns, Boar's Head Sweet
Sliced Ham, al fresco Uncured Chicken Bacon, 2 slices of Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese, Kraft Light Mayo w/ Olive Oil, and Kraft Fat Free Zesty Italian Dressing.












I started by grabbing a skillet and spraying it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and heating it on medium heat. For the Bacon I’m using al fresco Uncured Chicken Bacon. If you’ve never tried this Bacon you need to give it a try. It fries up perfect with an excellent taste. I buy it at Meijer, it’s the only store I’ve found to carry it. I need to 2 slices but fried up 5 slices. Always remember when frying Bacon use Bacon Math. Just decide how many slices you’ll need and double it or so. Because, at least when I fry Bacon, you end up eating as much as you fix as you’re preparing it! Sit the Bacon aside until ready to use.





To make the Sub I took the bottom half of the Bun and layered it the Mayo and a slice of Swiss
Cheese. Then layered it with the Ham, 2 slices of Swiss Cheese, Chicken Bacon, a drizzle of the Italian Dressing, and topped it with the top half of the Sub Bun. Last, I drizzled more of the Italian Dressing over to of it.












I had already preheated the oven to 400 degrees, I then laid the Sub on a small baking sheet and
baked it for about 12 minutes. Took it out and the Sub was a light golden brown and the Cheese was melted. Love these Baked Ham and Swiss Subs!

I also baked some Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For Dessert/Snack later, while watching the Super Bowl, a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.

Smoked Black Forest Ham, Blackened Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, Provolone, Baked Hoagie w/...

Today's Menu: Smoked Black Forest Ham, Blackened Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, Provolone, Baked Hoagie w/ Baked Crinkle Fries





I picked up some Glier's Turkey Goetta at Kroger yesterday. I hadn't had Goetta in a while and was really looking forward to having some! So for Breakfast this morning I sliced off a couple of patties for the Goetta and I prepared some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns and toasted a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. As always the Goetta was incredible! It fries up so good and the Turkey Goetta I use has less calories and carbs than the regular Gotteas. Love this stuff!



After Breakfast I did some cleaning outside. Got the leaf blower out and cleaned around our deck and

around the driveway area. After that I had to make a minor repair to the wooden deck that leads into the shed, had a couple of boards that lossened up. Then it was inside cleaning; vacuumed and dusted. After lunch I took the car up to be washed and inside cleaned. Went on over from there to go see Dad at the rehab center. He finally comes home after being there and the hospital for over 2 months. Just hope he can remain home, he's still so weak. Another hot and humid day out there again. For dinner tonight a Smoked Black Forest Ham, Blackened Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, and Provolone, Baked Hoagie w/ Baked Crinkle Fries


I was at Kroger yesterday afternoon and loaded up on some Boar's Head cold cuts from the Deli. And put 2 of those to use tonight for Dinner. I prepared a Smoked Black Forest Ham, Blackened Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, Swiss, Baked Hoagie w/ Baked Potato Puffs. To make the Hoagie I'll be using; Boar's Head Smokemaster Beechwood Smoked Black Forest Ham, Boar's Head Bold Blackened Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, Sargento Ultra Thin Provolone Cheese, Kraft Zesty Lite Italian Dressing, Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil, and Kroger Bakery Sub Buns.



To prepare it I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. I grabbed a small baking sheet. Lined it with foil and lightly sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray. I then took one of the Sub Buns, then using the bottom

haf Bun I spread the Kraft Mayo on the top half of it. I then layered my Black Forest Ham, Blackened Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, Provolone, and covered it all with the Italian Dressing. Added just a bit of the Kraft Mayo to the bottom of the top Bun and topped the sandwich with Bun. With my oven preheated I laid the Sub on the Baking sheet. I lightly sprayed the top of the Sub with Pam Cooking Spray, that helps it brown a bit. Slid the sheet in the oven and baked until the Cheese was melting and the Sub Bun was slightly toasted. What a Sub! The Boar's Head Meats both were delicious, as always, and the Mayo and Provolone Cheese were perfect toppings. But that Kraft Zesty Lite Italian Dressing just bursts the Sub with flavor! That was the first time I had tried the Kroger Bakery Sub Buns, excellent Bun but a little higher in calories than I normally have.

Then for a side I baked some Ore Ida Crinkle Fries, served with a side of Hunt's Ketchup. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Tuna Melt with Horseradish Mayonnaise w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Tuna Melt with Horseradish Mayonnaise w/ Baked Fries








Another day, another day of additional snow!! Only 1" overnight but it just keeps adding up. I heard this morning on the morning news that we've set a new record for the most snow. This area just isn't used to this snow for this long of a period of time. It's been quite a Winter. For dinner tonight something new, a Tuna Melt with Horseradish Mayonnaise w/ Baked Fries.

Came across a form of this recipe from a Food Network Magazine a while back and also I've seen several others online. I love Tuna, Melts, and Cheese so I thought I would give it a try. I used 2 - 5 -ounce cans of Chicken of the Sea Chunk Light Tuna in Water (Drained), 3 tablespoons Kraft Light Mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon Paprika, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, and Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) for the Tuna. Then for the Horseradish Mayonnaise I needed 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 4 tablespoons Kraft Light Mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon French's Spicy Brown Mustard. I also need Meijer Bakery Whole Wheat Mini Sub Buns and slices of Muenster Cheese.

To prepare it I preheated the oven to 475 degrees F. Combined 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, the tuna, celery, parsley, paprika, and vinegar in a large bowl and mixed well. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Combined 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise along with the mustard and prepared horseradish in a small bowl; spread on the bread slices and arrange on a baking sheet. Mound the tuna mixture on top and pat it into an even layer. Topping each with 1 cheese slice. Baked until the cheese melts, 5 to 7 minutes. It turned out incredible! The Tuna mix had great flavor along with the melted Muenster Cheese and Crusty Bun. A keeper recipe for sure! You can serve it open face, which I did or top it with the other half of the bun.






I also had baked some Ore Ida Simply Cracked Black Pepper and Sea Salt Country Style Fries, served with Hunt's Ketchup. For dessert my Mom had baked an Apple Pie that she made with Splenda. The pie just melts in your mouth!

Dinner Tonight: Baked Ham and Muenster Cheese sandwich w/ Chunky Soup – Baked Potato with Cheddar & Bacon Bits

Break out the shorts and sunscreen it was in the 40's today! Went and got the car washed which was covered with dirt and salt. From there I went to the post office and Walmart to pick up a few things. It was one of those days, trying to figure out what to have for dinner. Nothing really sounded good so when it's one of those days you always go with Chili or Soup. I went with Soup, I prepared a Baked Ham and Muenster Cheese sandwich w/ Chunky Soup – Baked Potato with Cheddar & Bacon Bits.








To make the Sandwich I used Kroger Private Selection Off the Bone Smokehouse Sliced Ham, Murray's Muenster Cheese (Sliced thin), and Meijer Bakery Wheat Mini Sub Buns. To prepare, started by spreading some Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil on the inside bottoms of the Sub  Buns, then layered my Ham, and then the Cheese. Heated up the oven on 375 degrees and put the Sub in a small baking pan and heated until warmed throughout the Sandwich and Cheese started to melt. Makes one delicious Ham and Cheese Sub!

For my Soup I used Campbell’s Chunky Soup Baked Potato with Cheddar & Bacon Bits. I love a thick Soup, the thicker the better! And this one hits the mark, thick and loaded with Chunky Potatoes. For dessert later tonight a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
