Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans





To start my day off I had a Jimmy Dean Simple Scramble Cup - Crumbled Turkey Sausage, Egg
White, Cheddar Cheese. Another cold day out there, 13 this morning and a high of 25 degrees. After Breakfast I went to McDonald's to pick up Breakfast for Mom. I was sort of slow today my Sinuses are really bothering me today, very bad headaches. Lot of rest and that was about it. I have to fast tonight until I go to the Family Doctor in the morning for my Blood Sugar, Cholesterol, etc. For Dinner tonight I prepared Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans.




We love our Turkey Tacos, great Comfort food for us! When making Turkey Tacos I always use Jennie -O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast! Love all the Jennie -O Turkey Products, always fresh and low calorie and low carb. But Jennie -O Products are difficult to find in this area. Meijer is the only place that now carries it, and they have an okay selection of it. So I started by frying the Ground Turkey till it was no longer pink in Extra Light Olive Oil and seasoning it with Sea Salt, Ground Roasted Cumin, Cilantro Flakes. As the Turkey was finishing cooking I added, 1 can OF Bush’s Chili Beans – Black Beans, 1 package of Old El Paso Low Sodium Taco Seasoning and 2/3 cup Water, continued to cook and stir for an additional 6 minutes. Jennie -O, Bush’s Beans, and Old El Paso together make one fine Taco!



For the rest of my toppings I used; Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican, Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green Olives, Ortega Smoky Chipotle Taco Sauce, Sliced Jalapenos, and Shredded Lettuce. For my Taco Shells I used the Old El Paso Stand N’ Stuff Taco Shells (Whole Grain Corn). Add the Jennie – O Turkey and you got you some mouth watering and delicious Tacos! Love these Taco Nights. I also heated up a can of Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans for a side for Mom. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

Just a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast this morning. I headed out this morning to Jungle Jim's International Market. They finally got some 1/2 Runner Green Beans in. We bought
enough to can 14 jars! The Beans were some of the fullest and biggest Green Beans we had found in quite some time. So back home I gave Mom a hand in getting the first 7 quarts ready and made. We'll do the rest tomorrow. Mom loves Beets, I can't stand them, so she's going back to Jungle Jim's tomorrow to get Beets to can. My leg seems to be doing better it's not as red and the spot is somewhat smaller. Hopefully it's just an infection. For Dinner tonight it's Turkey Tacos.

Smucker's Sugar Free Blackberry Jam and heated up a couple of Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast

Sausage Links. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Outside its a beautiful day! 82 degrees, sunny, and the humidity wasn't too bad. Well we agreed to terms with a land scape service to redo the front flower bed. We're doing away the what's left of the Roses and replacing it all will different Bushes. It should look good when done. They can't start until August, booked solid. I was driving around a bit and I don't think I've ever seen so many places wanting people to work! It seemed every business had signs out wanting to hire people. Sure wish I was able to get back in the job market. There's a lot of money to be made out there! So for Dinner tonight, It’s a Taco Night! I prepared Turkey Tacos and a side of Refried Beans.

Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Tacos and Refried Beans

To start today off I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin and topped it with a swipe of

Jif Reduced Fat Peanut Butter and Smucker’s Sugarless Blackberry Jam. A little PB and J to start my morning.  Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Mostly cloudy and 43 degrees. A lot nicer than yesterday! After Breakfast I had to go to the local Kroger for just a couple of items. I then stopped by McDonald’s to pick up Breakfast for Mom and Dad. Finished up some house cleaning and then swept off the ramp and driveway area. For Dinner Tonight it’s Tacos, Turkey Tacos and Refried Bean





We have all been wanting Tacos for some time, and tonight is the night! When making Turkey Tacos

I love using Jennie -O Ground Turkey Breast! Love all the Jennie -O Turkey Products, always fresh and low calorie and low carb. I started by frying the Ground Turkey till it was no longer pink in Extra Light Olive Oil and seasoning it with Sea Salt, Ground Roasted Cumin, Cilantro Flakes. As the Turkey was finishing cooking I added, 1 can OF Bush’s Chili Beans – Black Beans, 1 package of Old El Paso Low Sodium Taco Seasoning and 2/3 cup Water, continued to cook and stir for an additional 6 minutes. Jennie -O and Old El Paso together make one fine Taco!




For toppings I used; Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican, Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green

Olives, Ortega Smoky Chipotle Taco Sauce, Sliced Jalapenos, and Shredded Lettuce. For my Taco Shells I used the Old El Paso Stand N’ Stuff Taco Shells (Whole Grain Corn). Add the Jennie – O Turkey and you got you some mouth watering and delicious Tacos! Love these Taco Nights. I also heated up a can of Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans for a side for Mom and Dad. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Coke Zero to drink.

Seasoned Chicken Breast w/ Whole Grain Rotini and Baked Mozzarella Bread

Dinner Tonight: Seasoned Chicken Breast w/ Whole Grain Rotini and Baked Mozzarella Bread






Much colder out this morning, about 28 degrees. And it didn't get a whole lot warmer today, about 37 with a wind chill around 20 at times. For Breakfast I had an Eggo (Nutrigrain), topped with a Egg Beter's Egg White Scramble, and 2 Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links. Add my morning cup of Bigelow decaf Green Tea and I was set!








Felt like staying in for the day so I thought I would bake some Devil's Food Chocolate Cupcakes. I

used Pillsbury Sugar Free Devil's Food Cake Mix and for the icing Pillsbury Sugar Free Chocolate Fudge Frosting. To make the cakes I substituted Eggs with Egg Beater's, used Extra Virgin Olive Oil. and added 1 Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding Cup. When making Cakes I usually add a Sugar Free Pudding Cup, the added Pudding will make your cakes moister than usual. Everyone that has tried them agrees the added moister works great. I'll have a couple of Cupcakes over the next couple of days, mainly made them for Mom and Dad and a few for the neighbors. Anyway for dinner tonight I prepared Seasoned Chicken Breast w/ Whole Grain Rotini and Baked Mozzarella Bread.




To start I opened up a can of LaRosa's Sauce, which I've decided to use as my Pasta Sauce. Emptied the can into a small sauce pan ; covered it with the lid and let it it simmer on low heat.




For the Chicken part of the dish I used Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken Breasts (2 of them). I had

them in the freezer so I let them thaw overnight in the fridge. To prepare; removed them from the package and seasoned them with Sea Salt and Litehouse Freeze Dried Poultry Herb Blend. Then I sprinkled them with a light dusting of Flour. Cooked them in a medium skillet that was sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Fried them on medium high heat for about 10 minutes, flipping it over 3 times. Removed from the heat and set aside. Before serving them with the Pasta I sliced the Chicken Breasts up.






For the Pasta part of the dish I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest 100% Whole Grain Rotini. I love pasta,

but with Diabetes 2 I can't have as often as I like. So as they say "You pick and choose your battles". So when I have a Pasta meal I try to have Whole Grain Pasta. The Ronzoni Healthy Harvest 100% Whole Grain Rotini is the best I've found. It has an excellent Pasta taste and it's only 180 calories and 34 net carbs, which isn't bad for Pasta! It cooks up perfectly, start by bringing 4 quarts water to a rapid boil. Add the Pasta And stir; return to rapid boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 13 to 15 minutes. When done drain well and put into a large bowl. Season with Sea Salt and McCormick Italian Seasoning, lightly tossed and serve.



In a medium size dinner bowl; I made a bed of the pasta, topped it with the LaRosa's Sauce, and then topped with the sliced Chicken Breast Tender. I really enjoyed this dinner! The Pasta came out perfect and the Chicken came out browned, juicy, and seasoned just right. Then to tie it all together was the LaRosa's Sauce. It's my favorite Sauce, so well seasoned and just brings fantastic flavor to any dish!








I also prepared 2 slices of Baked Mozzarella Bread.Took 2 slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread and topped it with a bit of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Then I added Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese and topped it all with a sprinkle of Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese. Had the oven preheated on 400 degrees, Put the 2 slices on a small cookie sheet and baked them until the Bread was toasted and the Cheese melted. An easy prepared Cheese bread, goes great with Pasta Dishes. For dessert later a Devils Food Chocolate Frosted Cupcake.
