Spaghetti and Meatballs

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti and Meatballs

Wow some heavy rains the past 24 hours! They say the heaviest rains have passed but still more on the way. A little cooler days coming in for next week. For dinner tonight I prepared some Spaghetti and Meatballs. Whole Wheat Spaghetti, Turkey Meatballs, and Low Carb Pasta Sauce.





I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs along with Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are the best I’ve found, fantastic taste and their 190 calories and 5 net carbs for 3 Meatballs. Topped everything with some fresh grated Parmesan Cheese, fresh grated Dutch Gouda and Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce (Meat Flavored). I was out of fresh Mushrooms so I added a jar of Pennsylvania Dutch Sliced Mushrooms to the Sauce as it simmered. For dessert later a Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks Cup.

Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Spaghetti

Here’s something to absorb: One serving of RONZONI HEALTHY HARVEST pasta has over 20% of your daily recommended fiber intake – but did you know that fiber is good for you in more ways than just digestion?

People with diets high in fiber have a lower risk for weight gain, obesity, development of insulin resistance and diabetes. Fiber also prevents constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulosis, but it also helps reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases like colon and breast cancer. Fiber may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol, therefore reducing the risk of heart disease. It can also help lower blood sugar to better manage diabetes.

Dietary fiber is the edible part of plants, primarily carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the small intestine. Fiber may be digested by fermentation in the large intestine. By eating high fiber foods you feel fuller, eat less, with fewer absorbed calories.

Fiber comes in two basic forms – soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, seeds, brown rice, oats and barley. It prevents or reduces the absorption of certain substances into the bloodstream. Insoluble fiber is found mainly in whole grains and on the outside of seeds, fruits, legumes, and other foods. It is like a sponge that swells within the intestine to promote more efficient elimination and alleviate some digestive disorders.

Fiber is found only in plant foods and passes through the digestive tract without being completely broken down. Being indigestible, fiber provides no nutrients to the body, which is why for many years it was removed from processed foods like white bread. But, nutritionists have since discovered that fiber performs valuable functions precisely because it is not digested, and it is essential to good health.

Grilled Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Whole Grain Penne Rigate Pasta, Low Carb Pasta Sauce..

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Whole Grain Penne Rigate Pasta, Low Carb Pasta Sauce, and Baked Cheese Toast





A perfect day outside, sunny and 78 degrees! Took a ride to a local Park and did some reading and crossword puzzles while relaxing in one of the Picnic Shelters. Finally was able to get the grill going again, for how long who knows, and grilled some Smoked Turkey Sausages. For dinner; Grilled Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Whole Grain Penne Rigate Pasta, Low Carb Pasta Sauce, and Baked Cheese Toast.





I was finally able to get the gas grill going again, trying to hold out until next Spring to buy a new one.

Cleaned and got it fired up for the Smoked Turkey Sausages. I used Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausages. My favorite Smoked Turkey Sausages, very lean and always cooks up perfectly.  They are 100 calories and 4 carbs. Before grilling them I brushed some Extra Virgin Olive Oil on them and then grilled them for about 10 minutes while turning them several times. Oh the aroma as they were grilling, my next door neighbor got a whiff and had to come over and see what it was! Golden brown, juicy and full of flavor, I love these!





After grilling the Turkey Sausages I sliced them into smaller pieces. I then started preparing my Pasta. I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Penne Rigate Pasta. I've been using Whole Grain Pasta for quite some time now. I switched over from regular pasta back when I was first diagnosed with Diabetes 2. When my Pasta was done I drained it and put it back in the pan and added the sliced grilled Turkey Sausage and Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce. Heated until the Sauce just started to bubble and removed from the heat and served. I topped with a bit of Parsley and grated fresh Asiago Cheese. I also made some Baked Cheese Bread. I used Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread, a small amount of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Kraft Shredded Parmesan Cheese, and Sargento reduced Fat Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Just butter the bread, sprinkle with the Parm Cheese, and top with the Mozzarella Cheese. Lay the slices on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has started to melt. A very good and hearty meal! For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.

Whole Grain Penne Rigate from Ronzoni Healthy Harvest

From the Latin for "feathers"(reminiscent of old-fashioned quill pens), Whole Grain Penne Rigate is diagonally cut tubular shapes with ridged surfaces, versatile in size and shape. Use it in entrées, side dishes, soup, oven bakes or cold salads. Most pasta sauces are great with Whole Grain Penne Rigate, but thinner sauces will cling to ridges in penne.

Our run of beautiful days goes on but I hear rain is on it's way. Locked myself out of the house today, so

that's always fun! Finally was able to get a neighbor go through a side door that I can't get to and unlock the back door. Hopefully one day I'll be able to build a deck and ramps so I can get in and out of all the doors, life in a wheelchair! For dinner always a classic comfort food, Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs w/ Cheese Toast

Whole Grain Penne Rigate and Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Mozza Parm Bread

Dinner Tonight:  Whole Grain Penne Rigate and Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Mozza Parm Bread

I had made a small bowl of Italian Pasta Salad for lunch earlier today and the Pasta tasted so good I made another Pasta dish for dinner, Whole Grain Penne Rigate and Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Mozza Parm Bread.



To prepare it I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Penne Rigate, Eckrich Turkey Smoked Sausage, Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce (Meat Flavored), fresh Grated Mozzarella Cheese, Sea Salt, and McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning. Turn the heat to low, and pour 1/2 cup water into the skillet with the Eckrich sausage. To prepare the Sausage just add 2/3 cup of water to a skillet and heat to a boil. Add the Sausage and cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes until it's heated through out. While that was cooking I took my Sauce and put that into a medium sauce pan, put the lid on,  and heated on low. After the Sausage was done I sliced it into bite size pieces and added to the Pasta Sauce. I then boiled my Pasta by the box instructions. Boiled for 10 minutes and drained the water and added my Sausage and Pasta Sauce to the Pasta. Seasoned everything with Sea Salt and McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, mixed well and served topping it with freshly  shredded  Mozzarella Cheese. Makes a delicious  and filling dinner! I love that Smoked Turkey Sausage! To prepare the Mozza Parm Bread just take 2 slices of bread, I used Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread, butter both slices, add a light coating of Kraft Shredded Parmesan Cheese and sprinkle with freshly shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Bake at 400 degrees until Cheese has melted and served. For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.

Went Italian for dinner tonight. I used Buitoni All Natural Whole Wheat Four Cheese Ravioli. It had been a while since I had the Buitoni Ravioli and it was on sale and I had a $1 off coupon to make it an even bigger bargain. The pasta is very easy to fix, just boil 7 - 9 minutes and drain and it's done! Along with the pasta I added a Chicken breast that I had also boiled and seasoned with McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning. I sliced the breast up into several pieces and tossed it with the pasta and sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms. I then topped everything with Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce (Roasted Garlic Flavor). The sauce is only 70 calories and 6 carbs! Plus it's loaded with flavor. The Buitoni Pasta is a tender and delicious pasta but be sure to follow the cooking instructions so you don't over cook it. For dessert later a bowl of Blue Bunny All Natural Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Vanilla Swirl. Another product you have to try if you already haven't!

Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs w/ Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce

Today’s Menu: Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs w/ Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce

Summer time has kicked in here in Ohio! 98 - 100 today with high humidity, miserable outside so I wanted a simple but filling dinner so it was spaghetti and Meatballs tonight. I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Spaghetti along with Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. Topped everything with Shredded Parmesan Cheese and Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce (Roasted Garlic). Along with the great taste of the Pasta Sauce it’s also only 70 Calories and a mere 6 Carbs! I also had Meijer Bakery Harvest Grain Bread. For dessert later a slice of Pillsbury Nut Quick Bread topped with a scoop of Breyer's Carb Smart vanilla Ice Cream.


Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Nutrition

Here's something to absorb: One serving of RONZONI HEALTHY HARVEST pasta has over 20% of your daily recommended fiber intake - but did you know that fiber is good for you in more ways than just digestion?

People with diets high in fiber have a lower risk for weight gain, obesity, development of insulin resistance and diabetes. Fiber also prevents constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulosis, but it also helps reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases like colon and breast cancer. Fiber may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol, therefore reducing the risk of heart disease. It can also help lower blood sugar to better manage diabetes.

Dietary fiber is the edible part of plants, primarily carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the small intestine. Fiber may be digested by fermentation in the large intestine. By eating high fiber foods you feel fuller, eat less, with fewer absorbed calories.

Fiber comes in two basic forms - soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, seeds, brown rice, oats and barley. It prevents or reduces the absorption of certain substances into the bloodstream. Insoluble fiber is found mainly in whole grains and on the outside of seeds, fruits, legumes, and other foods. It is like a sponge that swells within the intestine to promote more efficient elimination and alleviate some digestive disorders.

Fiber is found only in plant foods and passes through the digestive tract without being completely broken down. Being indigestible, fiber provides no nutrients to the body, which is why for many years it was removed from processed foods like white bread. But, nutritionists have since discovered that fiber performs valuable functions precisely because it is not digested, and it is essential to good health.

The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends everyone consume 14 g of fiber for every 1000 calories. Ronzoni Healthy Harvest is an excellent source of fiber, with 5-6 grams of fiber in every 2 oz. serving. Fiber is an integral part of your everyday diet, and RONZONI HEALTHY HARVEST pasta, as an excellent source, is a perfect solution to get more of it onto your family's plate!

Tofu Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs

Dinner Tonight: Tofu Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs

Tofu Spaghetti! This is a great Pasta substitute. I used House Tofu Shirataki Spaghetti Shaped.  I rinsed and heated the Tofu by the instructions, which I left at the bottom of the post along with description and web links. Plus it's only 20 calories and 3 carbs per serving! It comes packaged 2 servings per bag and with the low calories and low carbs you can have both servings for only 40 calories and 6 carbs. That's a huge difference between whole wheat pasta and the tofu calorie and carb count. You'll have to give this a try I think you'll be surprised. I left the Tofu info and web site link at the bottom of the post.

For my sauce I used my favorite pasta Sauce, Bella Vita Low Carb Meat Flavored Pasta Sauce. If you watching the calories and carbs this sauce is the Bomb! Comes in Roasted Garlic and Meat Flavored and is only 70 calories and 6 carbs! The Meatballs were Honey Suckle White Turkey Meatballs. Love these Meatballs great flavor and they make a delicious Meatball Sub! They are 190 calories and 6 carbs per serving (3 Meatballs). I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning and topped everything with a sprinkle of Kraft Shredded Parm and Kraft 2% Shredded Sharp Cheddar. 330 Calories and 16 carbs for a Spaghetti Dinner, not including your bread. For dessert later a Yoplait Chocolate/Banana Smoothie.

House Tofu Shirataki.
Tofu Shirataki is a great pasta alternative made from blending the root of the Konnyaku – a member of the yam family and tofu.
It is a healthy, uniquely textured noodle – that pleases people of all ages!

VARIETY OF SHAPES:
Macaroni New!
Spaghetti
Fettuccine
Angel-Hair

*The Macaroni shape is available in only selected retailers.

LOW CARB – only 3g of carbs per serving
LOW CALORIE – 20 calories per 4 oz serving
FIBER – 2g per serving
NO CHOLESTEROL
NO SUGAR
GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE

VEGAN
KOSHER CERTIFIED

*TOFU SHIRATAKI CANNOT BE FROZEN

Directions:
Step 1: Empty your noodles into a strainer, and rinse them with water to get rid of the liquid they were packed in.

Step 2: Dry them as thoroughly as possible by blotting with paper towels — remove as much moisture as possible. We cannot stress enough how important this is.

Step 3: Cut them up a bit; they can be VERY long. (Fun fact: We once found a noodle that was six feet long!) Kitchen shears (scissors you use only for food) make this super-easy.

Step 4: Heat your noodles for a minute or two in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove. (If microwaving, you may want to blot for liquid one more time before adding sauce.)

Tofu Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs

Today's Menu: Tofu Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs


Tofu Spaghetti! Years ago I would have said "No Way" but now as I'm older and trying to eat more healthy this is great! I used House Food Tofu Shirataki Spaghetti Shaped Tofu. I made Mac & Cheese with Elbow Macaroni shaped Tofu a couple of weeks ago so I wanted to give Spaghetti and Meatballs a try. I heated the Tofu by the instructions, which I left at the bottom of the post along with description and web links.

 For my sauce I used my favorite pasta Sauce, Bella Vita Low Carb Meat Flavored Pasta Sauce. If you watching the calories and carbs this sauce is the Bomb!

For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Bag of Jolly Time Mini Bag of Pop Corn.

Turkey Meatball Mini Sub

Today's Menu: Turkey Meatball Mimi Sub Sandwich



Well I started out on having Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs but by the time it was dinner I just wasn't that hungry but I had already made my Turkey Meatballs and Sauce. So I went ahead and used three of the Meatballs along with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Sauce and put them on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Hot Dog Bun, and I had my Mini Sub! I used Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs, I think the best tasting pre-made Meatballs there are, Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce, fresh grated Smoked Dutch Gouda Cheese, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Buns for my ingredients. Lite, Healthy, and delicious! I could have used a 2% Mozzarella Cheese but i just can't pass up a chance to use that Gouda! No sides needed with this. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer's Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Del Monte No Sugar Added Sliced Peaches.

Whole Grain Penne Pasta and Turkey Sausage

Dinner Tonight:  Whole Grain Penne Pasta and Turkey Sausage w/ Low Carb Pasta Sauce and Whole Grain Bread



Another rainy and dreary day and on days like this nothing like a hearty and healthy comfort food dinner.I had Whole Grain Penne Pasta and Turkey Sausage. This is a definite added recipe keeper! I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Penne Rigate Pasta, a healthy pasta choice at 180 calories and 41 carbs. For the sauce I used Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce and that being only 70 calories and 6 carbs! I love this sauce it has great flavor and good on any pasta. So you get the full flavor of pasta sauce but not the calories or carbs. Then for the Turkey Sausage I tried a new one, Johnsonville Turkey Sausage. The sausage is 110 calories and 0 carbs.

I precooked and sliced the Turkey Sausage earlier. I boiled the pasta and while it was boiling I heated the pasta sauce and added the sliced Turkey Sausage. After boiling and draining the pasta I added the pasta back to pot and added the sauce and sausage to it and mixed until the pasta was well coated. Seasoned the Pasta with McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning and some fresh chopped Italian Parsley. Served the pasta with Healthy Choice Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Pillsbury Nut Quick Bread Cupcake. Instead of making the Nut Quick Bread in mini loaf pans I made them into cupcakes, they turned out fantastic.
