Roasted Rhubarb Salad

Radish, Celery & Snap Pea Salad

This stunning spring salad, full of peppery radishes, sliced celery, celery leaves and crunchy snap peas, is perfect for entertaining. If you grow your own celery, you’ll have plenty of leaves to work with. But we found that most store-bought celery yielded enough leaves for this recipe if you combine the dark outer leaves with the pale yellow inner leaves at the heart. If you can’t collect enough celery leaves, make up the difference with extra parsley. The results will still be delicious......

Hamburger Helper Lasagna w/ Green leaf Lettuce and Radish Salad

Dinner Tonight: Hamburger Helper Lasagna w/ Green leaf Lettuce and Radish Salad

The days are really getting shorter, 7:14 am sunrise and 7:09 pm sunset. Another cool day to start and a beautiful, sunny Autumn Day. I really enjoy this weather!Got out and had the car cleaned inside and out and spent the day outside. For dinner tried a new one, Hamburger Helper Lasagna. I prepared Hamburger Helper Lasagna w/ Green leaf Lettuce and Radish Salad.





I had seen the commercials about Hamburger Helper new mixes so I thought I would give one a try. I used the Hamburger Helper Lasagna but instead of Hamburger I used Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast. I just followed the instructions on the box to prepare it. The box contained the Sauce Mix and Pasta and I added 1 lb. of Jennie - O Ground Turkey Breast, 2 3/4 cups of hot Water, and 1/2 cup of 2% White Milk. I just browned the Ground Turkey, drained and removed from heat. Then stirred in the Sauce Mix and hot water until dissolved. Stir in the Milk and Pasta. Returned to heat , and heated until boiling. Reduced the heat. Cover, and simmer about 12 minutes (Stirring occasionally). When the Pasta got tender removed from the heat and served! Came out really tasty! Good flavor and seasoning. The Pasta came out tender and went well with the Ground Turkey substitute. Quite a bit leftover so I'll have my lunch ready for the next couple of days.

To go with my Lasagna I made a Green leaf Lettuce and Radish Salad. I added a bit of fresh grated Parmesan Cheese and a couple of Green Olives Stuffed with Bleu Cheese. I used Ken’s Steakhouse Light Options Sweet Vandalia Onion Dressing. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.

Pulled Buffalo BBQ Sandwich w/ Green Leaf Lettuce and Radish Salad

Dinner Tonight: Pulled Buffalo BBQ Sandwich w/ Green Leaf Lettuce and Radish Salad

Another gorgeous Fall like day around the neighborhood today! 39 degrees this morning and a high around 68 with sunshine and blue skies above! Out riding the four wheel for a while and doing some outside cleaning. For dinner tonight a Pulled Buffalo BBQ Sandwich w/ Green Leaf Lettuce and Radish Salad.





A light and healthy dinner tonight. I used Wild Idea Buffalo Pulled Buffalo, a 1 lb. package. A great item to have in the freezer, just thaw and heat it up! After heating it up I served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun and topped it with JB's Fat Boy Chipotle BBQ Sauce. I love BBQ Sandwiches but using Pulled Buffalo makes that much more delicious! The Pulled Buffalo is so moist and flavorful, not to mention healthier than Beef.

For a side to go with my Sandwich I went this morning and bought some fresh Green Lettuce and Radishes. I made a Green Lettuce and Radish Salad, adding a sprinkle of fresh grated Parmesan Cheese, sliced Pepadews, J and D's Bacon Croutons, and topped with Ken's Light Options Sweet Vandalia Onion Dressing. It's been a while since I've had a Salad. For some reason it's hard for me to digest green vegetables and later will give me an upset stomach. But I miss having a Salad so it was worth it. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks.
