Turkey Meatball Mini Sub w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Meatball Mini Sub w/ Baked Crinkle Fries





To start this rainy Thursday morning off I made a Breakfast Sandwich using; a toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin and lightly fried a al fresco Country Style Chicken Sausage Breakfast Patty. I topped it with a 1/2 slice of Kraft Deli Deluxe Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Also had that morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Did I say it was raining? Pouring the rain, second straight day. They say by Friday we'll have 4-5 inches of rain! It's 51 degrees out. So not a lot going on outside so I did a load of laundry and cleaned the house. So for Dinner tonight I prepared a Turkey Meatball Mini Sub w/ Baked Fries.


I used the Honeysuckle White Fresh Italian Style Turkey Meatballs leftover from yesterday meal. I always make extra Sauce and Meatballs when I make Spaghetti and Meatballs so I can make a Meatball Hoagie the following day. I’ve been using the Honeysuckle White Fresh Italian Style Turkey Meatballs for quite a few years now. So thank goodness Kroger finally started carrying them again! The Meatballs are good size, always fresh, meaty, and have a fantastic taste and they’re 190 calories and 5 net carbs for 3 Meatballs. Plus they’re a perfect size for Hoagie or Hot Dog Buns, I used Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Hot Dog Buns.


For my Pasta Sauce I had used the LaRosa’s Original Sauce. A local favorite and mine also, it’s got a perfect combination of a robust sauce with a hint of sweetness to it. To prepare it I took a medium size sauce pan and sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray. Emptied the can of Sauce in the pan and turned the heat on medium. Then I added my Turkey Meatballs and covered the pan and let it simmer until both the Sauce and Meatballs were heated through.





I’m using Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese as a topping for the Sub. You can use Hoagie Buns but to save on calories and carbs I usually just use Aunt Millie’s Reduced Fat Whole Grain Hot Dog Buns. To assemble; open the Bun up, put the Meatballs and Sauce in the Bun , top it with a few shakes of McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, and top it with the Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Love these Meatball Sandwiches! The Larosa’s Sauce just seems to bring the Sandwich together! Sauce is incredible, Turkey Meatballs flavorful and meaty, and the Mozzarella is perfect with Pasta and Sauces.

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

Ancient Grain Mini Naan Bread Pizza

Dinner Tonight: Ancient Grain Mini Naan Bread Pizza - Turkey Pepperoni and Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage

For Breakfast this morning I Poached an Egg, fried a few slices of Boar's Head Sweet Slice Ham, toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, and had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Good start to a rainy Thursday morning! It started raining overnight and a few showers this morning. Cloudy and 51 degrees for a high. Stayed in most of the day and got some things done around the house. Dinner tonight; Ancient Grain Mini Naan Bread Pizza - Turkey Pepperoni and Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage.



I picked up a package of Stonefire Mini Naan Ancient Grain Bread at Meijer earlier in the week. And I'm using them to make some Mini Pizzas. For my toppings I'm using Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Jennie - O Sweet Italian Turkey Sausages, Mushrooms, Black Olives, Green Olives, Oscar Mayer Hickory Smoked Bacon Bits, Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, and Ragu Traditional Pizza Sauce.








Preheated the oven on 400 degrees. Next I grabbed a medium size skillet, sprayed it with Pam

Cooking Spray, added a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil, and heated it on medium heat. As the skillet was heating I got 2 Jennie - O Sweet Italian Sausages and cut the end off each Sausage . Then squeezed the Sausage Meat out of the casing and formed that into small chunks. With the skillet heated I fried the Sausage pieces. When they were browned and heated through removed them from the skillet into a small bowl until ready to use.

The oven was heated up and I got the Naan Bread ready. I used a small baking sheet, lined it with foil, and sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray. I lined the 4 Naan Breads up on the baking sheet. I then brushed a light coat of Extra Virgin Olive oil on the top of them. I then baked then for about 2 minutes. Pulled the sheet out of the oven and let the Naan Bread cool for 5 minutes.

When the Bread cooled I added the toppings on top. I started with the Ragu Pizza Sauce. Next slices of Hormel Turkey Pepperoni. Then the Jennie - O Turkey Sweet Italian Sausage pieces, next the Black and Green Sliced Olives, sliced Mushrooms, Oscar Mayer Bacon Bits, and finally the Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Slid the baking sheet back into the oven to bake.





I baked the Naan Bread Pizzas for about 8 minutes, until the ingredients had heated through and

Cheese melted. Pulled the baking sheet from the oven and let the Pizzas cool for 3 minutes. With the first bite I knew the Naan Bread was a perfect Pizza Crust! The Crust had excellent taste and baked up perfect. Then with all my toppings had some great Pizzas. Plus a lot fewer calories and carbs than normal Pizza Pies. I'll have to get a couple of packs of the Stonefire Mini Naan Ancient Grain Bread and keep them in the freezer. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop - Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

Cheesy Skillet Classic Lasagna w/ Baked French Bread

Dinner Tonight: Cheesy Skillet Classic Lasagna w/ Baked French Bread






For Breakfast on this morning I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin and topped it with Smucker’s Sugarless Blackberry Jam. Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. The hot weather has kicked in again, 88 degrees and humid along with some haevy rain on and off through the day. Mom wanted a McMuffin for Breakfast so I went to McDonald’s and picked it up for her. Back home did a load of laundry for Mom. After Lunch went over to see Dad. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Cheesy Skillet Classic Lasagna w/ Baked French Bread.

Second time using the Kraft/Velveeta Cheesy Skillets Classic Lasagna. The box contains the Pasta, Seasoning, and Velveeta Cheese Sauce. I added the Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, Water, and Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. The instructions call for Ground Beef but as usual I substitute the Ground Beef with the Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast. Much healthier option with fewer calories, fat, and carbs.

To make the dish; You will need the 1 lb. Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast and 2 cups water. Cook the 1 lb. Ground Turkey in large skillet, until no longer pink. Add 2 cups water, Pasta and Seasoning; stir. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover; simmer 11 min. or until most of the water is gone, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in the Velveeta Cheese Sauce. Top it off with a cup of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese before serving.

The Lasagna came out fantastic, hot and cheesy! The Seasoning and Cheese was perfect and the Pasta was excellent. Made a very good and hearty Dinner Dish! I also baked a Pillsbury French Bread Loaf. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Turkey Pepperoni and Turkey Sausage Pita Bread Pizza

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Pepperoni and Turkey Sausage Pita Bread Pizza





For Breakfast I prepared some Glier’s Turkey Goetta and prepared some Simply Potatoes Hash
Browns. I just love the combination of Turkey Goetta and Hash Browns. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. What a beautiful day today! No Rain finally, mostly sunny and 72 degrees. Well Dad will be coming home tomorrow, finally! He's been in the hospital and rehab center for most of this year so far. I just hope he's able to stay healthy enough to remain here. It will be good to have him home. After Breakfast I went to Walmart and then on to Kroger to pick some items up for Mom. Back home I repaired one of our outdoor chairs. Then got the cart out for the rest of the afternoon. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Turkey Pepperoni and Turkey Sausage Pita Bread Pizzas.


I used Joseph’s Flax/Oat Bran and Stone Ground Whole Wheat Pita Bread for my Pizza Pie instead of

regular Dough Pizza Pie. I love using Joseph’s Pita Breads, always fresh and they’re only 60 calories, 1.5 grams fat, and 5 net carbs! But I can only find them online so I have to order them now. A huge saving of calories and carbs over using normal Pizza Crust, without sacrificing taste. I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. To bake the Pita Pizzas I used a large Cookie Sheet. To prepare them I brushed them with a light coat of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the coating of Oil browns it up just right. I then baked it for 5 minutes, just to brown it up a bit. Removed them from the oven and made my Pizzas.

For my toppings I used Ragu Homestyle Pizza Sauce, Jennie – O Lean Turkey Ground Breakfast Sausage, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, Sliced Black and Green Olives, sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms, 2 Anchovies Fillets, and Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.

It took less than 10 minutes in the oven until everything heated up and the Cheese melted.Pizza is served! Everything combined makes one delicious Pizza! And the good thing is you can load these Pita Bread Pizzas up with toppings and still not have a lot of calories and carbs, my type of Pizza! Bakes up ans tastes like a Thin-Crust Pizza For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
