Today's Menu:  Rainbow Trout w/ Grilled Potatoes, Grilled Asparagus Spears, and Whole Grain Bread



My early morning Meijer grocery shopping provided a lot of finds including some beautiful Rainbow Trout Fillets, which is what's for dinner tonight. I seasoned the fillet with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn and also a light dusting of Italian Bread Crumbs. I then fried the fillat in Extra Virgin Olive Oil on medium heat about 3 1/2 minutes per side.

For sides I had Meijer Grilled Potatoes with Cheese and Herb Seasoning along with Grilled Asparagus Spears. It was the first time I had tried the Potatoes and they were excellent! I'm doing more and more of my shopping at Meijer lately because of variety and prices. I also had Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. A very tasty and filling dinner and all at 310 calories and 40 carbs! The fillet shown in the picture was actually 2 servings. I had half and saved the other half for lunch tomorrow. For dessert later a Yoplait Delight Chocolate Eclair Parfait.

Dinner Tonight: Baked Honey Glazed Pork Chops w/ Fresh Asparagus, Boiled New Potatoes and Whole Grain Bread

Had a Baked Honey Glazed Pork Chop. Found the recipe on http://www.porkbeinspired.com/  I found this monster Chop at Kroger the other day and this recipe sounded perfect for it. Anything with Honey and Brown Sugar has to be good! Plus it's only 16 Carbs! The full recipe and instructions are at the end of my post. As sides I had fresh Asparagus seasoned with Garlic Salt and Black Pepper and lightly fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter along with sliced Almonds. I also sliced some New Potatoes up and seasoned them with Sea Salt, Pepper, and Parsley and then boiled them until they were tender, about 15 minutes. Also had Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later I had made a batch of Chocolate Cupcakes made with Pillsbury Sugarless Devilsfood Cake Mix and Sugarless Frosting.
