Christmas Dinner

I'm preparing Christmas Dinner for me and Mom. It's our first Christmas without Dad and it's a bit sad but I'm trying to keep things upbeat for Mom. We're having Dinner for just the 2 of us but later in the afternoon or early evening there will be several people coming over so that will help her spirits. For our Dinner I prepared a 4 lb. Prime Rib, Mashed Potatoes, opened up a quart jar of the Canned Green Beans, and Baked some Hawaiian Rolls. Mom had a baked an Apple Pie and a Pecan Pie yesterday. Both were made using Splenda Sweetner. I'd like to wish each and every one of you along with your families a Very Merry Christmas! And to all a good night.....

Leftovers - Prime Rib w/ Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Baked French Bread

Dinner Tonight: Leftovers - Prime Rib w/ Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Baked French Bread







I had to fast over night and skip Breakfast this morning. I had my 4 month checkup at the Family

Doctor for my for my cholesterol, sugar and etc. Really great timing to have to have this done. Fasting on Christmas Night with everything to eat and snack on. This will be the last time I let them schedule this around a Holiday! Anyway I had to be at the Doctor at 8:15. It's one COLD morning out there today! A low of 14 degrees and a high of only 24 along with one cold breeze. I guess our mild Winter is over. Back home gave Mom a hand with a couple of loads of laundry. Then after Lunch I cleaned the house, vacuum and dusted. For Dinner tonight it's Christmas Dinner leftovers! I reheated the Prime Rib w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. Then I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread.




I reheated the Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes in the microwave.















 Then to reheat the Prime Rib I heated the oven on 350 degrees. Sliced off my Prime Rib from the

remaining Roast and put the slice into a small baking pan. Covered the pan with Foil and reheated it for about 15 minutes. It reheated perfectly, and tasted just as delicious! You got to leftovers especially when its Prime Ribs and Sides! As I said I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread. For Dessert/Snack tonight I had a bowl of Skinny Pop - Pop Corn along with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.








Prime Rib

A standing rib roast, also known as prime rib, is a cut of beef from the primal rib, one of the nine

A slice of prime rib from a standing rib roast 

primal cuts of beef. While the entire rib section comprises ribs six through 12, a standing rib roast may contain anywhere from two to seven ribs.

It is most often roasted "standing" on the rib bones so that the meat does not touch the pan. An alternative cut removes the top end of the ribs for easier carving.

Rib eye steaks are cut from a standing rib, boned with most of the fat and lesser muscles removed.

While often referred to as "prime rib", the USDA does not require the cut to be derived from USDA Prime grade beef.

Prime Rib w/ Savory Herb Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Whole Baby Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Prime Rib w/ Savory Herb Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Whole Baby Carrots









For Breakfast on this Easter Morning I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin,
Scrambled 1 Egg, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Not much going on today. Mom went on to Church early, she was meeting some friends for Breakfast. I stayed home and did a load of laundry and cleaned the house. Cloudy this morning and rain moved in by the afternoon. Went over to see Dad for a while and back home to fix an Easter Dinner for me and Mom. I prepared a Prime Rib w/ Savory Herb Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Whole Baby Carrots.

We had a Prime Rib Roast in the freezer that I had purchased at Mejier. I like Prime Rib but it’s so overpriced. This was one that weighed just over 3 lbs., 3.7 lbs. Just the right size for myself and Mom.

I preheated the oven on 325 degrees. I took a small roaster pan and sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray and I rubbed a light coat of Extra light Olive Oil on it. Once the oven was heated I put the Roast in the pan and baked it for about 2 hours total. I took the pan out and checked the internal temperature with my meat thermometer and it was right where we wanted at 121 degrees.

I let the Roast sit for 10 minutes before slicing it. The Roast was cooked to a perfect Medium Rare. The Roast came moist and juicy! Cutting in to it was very tender and has an excellent taste. We’ll definitely purchase this again from Meijer!

Mom loves having multiple side dishes with meals so I prepared a good variety. For one side I prepared some Little Potato Company Savory Herb Potatoes. Then I prepared a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. Then I opened up a can of Kroger Brand Whole Baby Carrots. I also baked some of Mom's favorite Rolls, Hawaiian Rolls. For my Dessert later a Breyer’s 100 Calorie Cup of Vanilla Ice Cream. Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Dinner Tonight: Prime Rib w/ Savory Herb Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Whole Baby Carrots






For Breakfast on this Christmas Morning I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin and added a few slices of Boar's Head Sweet Slice Ham, for a light Breakfast Sandwich. After we were done with Breakfast we opened gifts and afterwards mad a few phone calls to friends and relatives wishing them a Merry Christmas! For our Christmas Dinner we are having Prime Rib w/ Savory Herb Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, and Whole Baby Carrots.

We couldn't decide on what to have for Christmas Dinner. While I was at Meijer a few days ago I seen they had some small Prime Ribs so I grabbed one of those. I like Prime Rib but it's so overpriced. This was one that weighed just over 3 ibs., 3.11 lbs. Just the right size for myself and Mom and Dad. As most Prime Rib Roasts it was very easy to prepare.

I preheated the oven on 325 degrees. I took a small roaster pan and sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray and I rubbed a light coat of Extra light Olive Oil on it. Once the oven was heated I put the Roast in the pan and baked it for about 49 minutes. I took the pan out and checked the internal temperature with my meat thermometer and it was right where we wanted at 121 degrees.

I let the Roast sit for 10 minutes before slicing it. The Roast was cooked to a perfect Medium Rare. The Roast came moist and juicy! Cutting in to it was very tender and has an excellent taste. We'll definitely purchase this again from Meijer!

Prime Rib w/ Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Baked Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Tonight's Christmas Dinner: Prime Rib w/ Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Baked Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Let me start by saying "Merry Christmas" to everyone! In the past we always had a huge family gathering for Christmas Dinner but the today as the last couple of Christmas Dinner it's just been Mom and Dad and myself. It's been a quiet relaxing Christmas. Another cold one out but not as bad as yesterday, no wind today made the difference. For dinner it was a feast! I prepared a Prime Rib w/ Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Baked Cheddar Bay Biscuits.







I had purchased a Seasoned Half Beef Rib eye for Prime Rib Roast at a local GFS Market in nearby Fairfield a while back and had it in the freezer. Laid it out in the fridge yesterday to thaw so it was ready for the oven today. Nice size one, 7.750 lbs. of nothing but Prime Rib! So easy to prepare, just preheated the oven at 250 degrees. Then placed the roast in a medium size roasting pan with a rack in it. Sprayed the rack with Pam Spray and added a 1/4" of water to the pan. Then placed the Roast on the rack and basted it in its own juices that were in the bag. Placed it in the oven for about 2 1/2 hours, til a thermometer read 120 degrees, perfect medium rare! As it was roasting I would baste it from time to time with the juice. We buy our Prime Rib from GFS every year and the quality is always spot on. Tender, moist, and just bursting with flavor! This one was so tender you could cut it with your fork. Plus always the good thing, lots of leftovers for some incredible Prime Rib Sandwiches!







Prime Rib as far as I'm concerned is a meal in it's self but Mom and Dad love the side dishes. So for one side I heated up our favorite Mashed Potatoes, Bob Evan's Mashed Potatoes. These are so good and saves so much time than having to peel, cook and mash potatoes! Then I also heated a jar of the Canned Green Beans we had Canned earlier this year. Nothing like fresh Green Beans in the Winter! As if that's not enough my dad wanted some Corn on the Cob so I boiled some Mini Ears of Green Giant Mini Ears of Sweet Corn. I used the juice of the Prime Rib when it was done for some Gravy and I baked some Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits. First time I had baked this one. Just mixed the Packet of Biscuit with water and grated Cheddar Cheese. Mixed it into a dough and made it into balls on to a baking sheet. Baked at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. When ready I basted them with a Garlic Butter Sauce while they were still hot. Tasted just like what you get at the Red Lobster! For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar.
