Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots

I had a Scrambled Egg and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast. I had to be at the Dentist at 8:45 yesterday morning. I dread going to a Dentist more than anything but I've got a bad tooth and later I need more work done. I also had to go back to the family Doctor the day before and he increased my Metformin from 1 to 2 pills daily. So much stress lately he wanted me to increase for 3 months. After that we'll do the checks again. He thinks that it's all the stress I've been having for my elevated blood work. Another wait and see. Didn't do much after getting back home from the Dentist. For Dinner tonight I prepared Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots.

I purchased a package of North Atlantic Salmon from Meijer and had it in the freezer. To make it I’ll need the Salmon, McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, Dried Parsley, Dried Chive, and Extra Light Olive Oil.










To prepare it; I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. I then got a small baking pan and sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray. I washed the Fillet off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. Next I put a light coat of the Extra Light Olive Oil on the Fillet and then seasoned. Lined the Fillet in the pan and baked. I baked it for 8 minutes, and done. Excellent Salmon!









I really enjoy the combo of Rice or Grain and Carrots with Salmon   For one side to go with the

Salmon I prepared a packet of the Minute Rice – Multi-Grain Medley.First time I’ve prepared this in a while. It has Brown Rice, Thai red Rice, Wild Rice, and Quinoa. Now that’s a good combo of Grains! The box contains 4 – 2 Serving Packets and easy to prepare. Combine water and the contents of one bag in medium saucepan and stir. Add oil if desired. Or, if desired, to add more flavor, substitute broth, fruit or vegetable juice for water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 MINUTES or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Fluff with fork and serve! Easy to prepare and makes one excellent side dish.



I also heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots. Just empty the contents into a small sauce pan,
bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until heated through. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.













Atlantic Salmon

The Atlantic salmon is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae. It is found in the northern Atlantic Ocean, in rivers that flow into the north Atlantic and, due to human introduction, in the north Pacific Ocean. - Wiki

Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots






For Breakfast I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, fried 2 Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea.

Good way to start off a cold morning. How cold is it you ask, 18 degrees! Wasted no time going out to grab the morning papers! Partly cloudy and 33 degrees for a high. Cleaned the oven and did some cleaning and straightening up of all the shelves and drawers in the Kitchen. Wish I could afford new cabinets but it's just not in the budget. For Dinner tonight I prepared Baked Salmon Fillets w/ Multi-Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots.







I purchased a package of North Atlantic Salmon, there was 2 small Fillets in the package. With the
Fillets being small I prepared both of them for Dinner tonight. To make them I'll need the Salmon, McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, Dried Parsley, and Extra Light Olive Oil.










To prepare them; I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. I then got a small baking pan and sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray. I washed the Fillets off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel.Next I put a light coat of the Extra Light Olive Oil on them and then seasoned them. Lined the 2 Fillets in the pan and baked them. They were small Fillets so I only had to bake them for 8 minutes and they were done. They may be small but that was some excellent Salmon! Nicely Seasoned and flaky.





For one side to go with the Salmon I prepared a packet of the Minute Rice - Multi-Grain Medley.First time I've prepared this in a while. It has Brown Rice, Thai red Rice, Wild Rice, and Quinoa. Now

Seasoned Haddock w/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Seasoned Haddock w/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Sliced Carrots





For Breakfast this morning I prepared a packet of Pioneer Peppered White Gravy, toasted 2 slices of

Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After a night of heavy rain and thunder storms, the morning was quiet but a lot cooler. We had a record high of 76 degrees yesterday and a high of 41 degrees today! There goes my Sinuses again!Just as soon as they get adjusted to warm weather, here comes the cool weather back. Cloudy and breezy out. After Lunch I went up to see Dad for a while at the rehab center. Back home took a quick nap and watched some College Basketball. For Dinner tonight its a Seasoned Haddock w/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Sliced Carrots.



I had purchased 2 Haddock fillets from Kroger the day before. I rinsed both fillets and cut into

smaller pieces. I froze one bag and kept the other one out for my Dinner tonight. So to prepare them I seasoned them with just a bit of Sea Salt and put the pieces in a Hefty Zip Plastic Bag where I then added Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Breading Mix. Shook until all the pieces were well coated. Shook off the excess and pan fried them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, frying them about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Haddock and Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Mix, the perfect combo. The Zatarain’s Breading and Seasonings are my favorites. I love Haddock it cooks up so nicely and I love the flavor and how meaty it is. These make a great Fish Sandwich also!

For one side dish I made some Creamy Parmesan Risotto. As always I used Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto. Quick, easy, and delicious Risotto dish. Ready in about 25 – 30 minutes.











Then I also heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced carrots. These are so much easier to prepare than
boiling fresh Carrots, and they taste just as fresh and good. I also baked a 1/2 loaf of LaBrea Whole Grain Loaf Bread. For dessert later a Weight Watcher's Divine Triple Chocolate  Ice Cream Bar.












Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto

Cumin Spiced Pork Tenderloin w/ Cut Green Beans and Potatoes, Sliced Carrots.....

Dinner Tonight: Cumin Spiced Pork Tenderloin w/ Cut Green Beans and Potatoes, Sliced Carrots, and French Bread






Starting off another post by sending prayers to all those that lost their lives and the many injured over in Nice, France. Another senseless attack on the Human Race. It's time this Country rallies the World against these terrorist! Again my thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected.


For Breakfast I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, topped with just a dab of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Then I heated some Boar's Head Branded Deluxe Ham in a large skillet. As

the Ham was heating up I Scrambled some Egg Beater's Egg White. Topped the Ham and Egg off with a sprinkle of Sargento Reduced Calorie Shredded Sharp Cheddar. Fantastic, and healthy, way to start the day! It's somewhat cooler out, 84 degrees, but still humid with passing showers. Did a load of laundry for Mom and we had to have Dad at his Family Doctor for a check-up. Everything seemed to be good so it was back home. For Dinner tonight Spiced Pork Tenderloin w/ Cut Green Beans and Potatoes, Sliced Carrots, and French Bread.
                                                                                                           

I purchased the Simple Truth Pork Tenderloin from Kroger yesterday, a small one at just over 1 lb. To make the dish I’ll need; 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 pork Tenderloin, 1 tbsp Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian

Paprika, 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. To prepare it preheat oven to 350°. Combine all the ingredients; rub it all over the pork. Let stand 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes, browning on all sides. From the stove to the oven; Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until a thermometer registers 155° (slightly pink), turning after 7 minutes. Remove from the skillet into a platter or dish and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Then get ready to enjoy one delicious Pork Tenderloin! Fantastic combo of Spices, which makes one incredible Crust on the Pork with the inside being tender and moist! The other "White Meat" sure is good!

For one side dish I heated up a can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans and Potatoes. I really like using

the Del Monte Cut Green Beans and New Potatoes, contains 2 of my favorite vegetables (Green Beans and Potatoes). I also heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots. Another canned Vegetable that’s as good as fresh. Growing up I wouldn’t look at a Carrot, now I could have them every day! I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.







Natural Pork Tenderloin
Simple Truth Natural Pork comes from pigs raised humanely on family farms, and fed an all-vegetarian diet as nature intended. This results in pork that is tender and flavorful — the way pork

should taste.

Pan Seared Oven Roasted Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast w/ Red Beans & Rice and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Pan Seared Oven Roasted Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast w/ Red Beans & Rice and Sliced Carrots




To start my morning off I made a Ham, Cheese, and Egg Breakfast Sandwich and my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I used Boar's Head Black Forest Ham, a slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Scrambled 1 medium size Egg, and used Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. After Breakfast I did some cleaning around the house. Then after a light lunch I headed over to spend the afternoon with Dad. My Dad is not looking good at all. I don't know if he's going to recover from this, we can only pray and hope. Back home I did some laundry for Mom. So for dinner tonight I prepared a Pan Seared Oven Roasted Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast w/ Red Beans & Rice and Sliced Carrots.



While at Meijer a while back I came across some beautiful huge Chicken Breasts. They were so good the first time around I couldn't wait  to use them again. I prepared them like I did last week, Pan Seared Oven Roasted Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast. To season them I‘ll need McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley along with Litehouse Poultry Herb Blend. I love the Litehouse Poultry Herb Blend it’s a blend of Herbs; Onions, Thyme, Sage, Marjoram, Spring Onions, Garlic, and Rosemary. I had the Chicken in the freezer so I laid it out overnight in the fridge to thaw.




To prepare; I preheated the oven on 400 degrees and I got my favorite skillet out, the Cast Iron

Skillet. Sprayed a light coat of Pam Cooking Spray w/ Olive Oil on it and added 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to it. Heated it on the stove on medium high. I then seasoned the Chicken

Breasts with my 3 seasonings. With the skillet and oil heated I added my Chicken. Browned both sides for 3 minutes. Transferred the skillet to the preheated oven. Baked for 15-20 minutes until a 165 internal temperature. And like the first time I made these, the Chicken Breast came out perfect! Moist and full of flavor. I served it with a side of JB’s Fat Boy Sticky Stuff BBQ Sauce. The Cast Iron Skillet is perfect to use when starting a dish on the stove and finishing in the oven!









For one side dish I prepared a can of Glory Foods Seasoned New Orleans Style Red Beans and Rice. First time I've tried this item and was really pleased! To prepare it just empty the contents into a medium sauce pan. Cover and bring to a boil. Stir and reduce heat. Simmered gently until hot and served. The Beans and Rice were both good with excellent seasoning. Another item for the pantry.









For a second side I heated up a can of Kroger Brand Sliced Carrots, same preparation as the Beans and Rice. i also had a couple of slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread topped with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice cream Bar.

Blackened Grouper w/ Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Blackened Grouper w/ Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots

Not a bad day here in west Chester today, partly sunny and a high in the upper 40's. I had a doctor's appointment at 10:30 this morning. My 2 year checkup to make sure my Hip Replacement is doing good on the inside, a couple of x-rays and a physical exam and done. Everything looked great! Then later ran Mom and Dad for a checkup at their Family Doctor. Too many Doctors today! For dinner some Gulf Coast Grouper!, I prepared Blackened Grouper w/ Grain Medley and Sliced Carrots.





Yesterday some good friends of mine returned from Florida and brought me some Gulf Coast Grouper that they had just caught days before there in Florida. They have a home in Southern Florida along the Gulf Coast and go down quite often. And they usually bring me back some Grouper or Snapper on their return. Thank goodness they love fishing!

They had frozen the Grouper so I left it in the fridge overnight to thaw. To prepare it I rinsed the fillets off in cold water and patting dry and cut it into smaller pieces. I melted a tablespoon of butter, Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter. I then brushed both sides of the fillets with the Butter and seasoned them with Sea Salt and then with Zatarain’s Blackened Seasoning. Then I got out my favorite skillet, The Cast Iron Skillet. When the pan was fully heated, on medium heat, I added my Grouper. Cooked it about 4 minutes per side, and it was ready for the table! Cast Iron Skillets are perfect to use for any cooking but especially when Blacken something. The Skillet heats up and holds it heat and the heat evenly distributes across the Skillet, perfect for Blackening Meats. This fish turned out so good, hard to describe! Moist and bursting with flavor. Just something about Gulf Seafood. The Zatarain’s Seasonings are perfect for any Seafood.




For one side I prepared some  Minute Multi Grain Medley. I love the Multi Grain, It has Brown Rice, Thai Red Rice, Wild Rice, and Quinoa. Now that’s a good combo of Grains! Plus it’s only 160 calories and 31 net carbs per serving, which isn’t bad for a Grain Dish. Then I also heated up a small can of Del Mote Sliced Carrots along with a slice of Pillsbury Rustic French Bread, which was leftover from last night's meal. For dessert later a Healthy Choice dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Beautiful morning out, Sunny and about 57 degrees to start the day! Still a little sore from the tumble I took yesterday. Had a light Breakfast and then off to Meijer.

The Brown Gravy was well seasoned and delicious while the White Turkey Roast was moist and delicious. Another great item to keep handy in the freezer.

Dinner Tonight: Fried Walleye w/ Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes, Sliced Carrots, and French Bread







Well their saying we could get our first measurable snow fall of the season! Yes, they said that magic four letter word "Snow"! Myself I enjoy it and go on as normal but with a lot of the people in this area it puts them in panic mode! A friend of mine that works at Kroger already called me earlier and said that panic has already set in. There's been lines all day at the check-outs, he said that people were buying items like they were going to stranded for weeks! This area is so funny! Anyway I prepared Fried Walleye w/ Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes, Sliced Carrots, and French Bread.







I had a couple of Walleye Fillets in the freezer that I laid in the fridge to thaw overnight. I had purchased them from Costco a couple of weeks back. We had some already and they were incredible! I rinsed them off in cold water and patted dry with paper towel. Seasoned them with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. Put them in a Hefty Plastic Bag and added some Progresso Italian Style Bread Crumbs, sealed the bag and shook till all fillets were well coated. I then fried them in Canola Oil on medium heat, about 3 to 4 minutes per side till golden brown! I love Walleye, as I do most Fish. Along with Crappie their my favorite Fresh Water Fish to eat.







For one side dish I prepared some of Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes. These are a perfect Potato Dish for any Seafood. They come Seasoned, just heat in a skillet about 10-12 minutes until heated through. I also heated up a can of Walmart Brand Sliced Carrots along with a slice of Pillsbury Rustic French Bread. For dessert later tonight a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks.  









Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes

We peel and dice fresh potatoes and add just enough delicate onion, red bell pepper and garlic to make our Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes.

Baked Salmon w/ Brown Rice, Sliced Carrots, and Whole Grain Bread

Dinner Tonight: Baked Salmon w/ Brown Rice, Sliced Carrots, and Whole Grain Bread

It was healthy, hearty, and simple dinner tonight, Baked Salmon w/ Brown Rice, Sliced Carrots, and Whole Grain Bread. For my Salmon I had a small fillet of Salmon that I seasoned with a quarter teaspoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Parsly, and McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I baked the fillet at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, just enough so it would flake using a fork. Besides just tasting fantastic the health benefits of wid caught Salmon are numerous.


Some of those healthy benefits are Cancer Prevention - Vitamin D has been shown to play a crucial role in lowering the risk of several types of cancer, Eye Health - It is well known that fish oil is good for improving vision. It also helps in avoiding age related macular degeneration, Cardiovascular Health - Intake of salmon has been connected to a decreased risk of numerous cardiovascular problems, such as heart attack, stroke, heart arrhythmia and high blood pressure, and Skin and Hair Health - The omega-3s found in salmon lock moisture into skin cells, encouraging the production of strong collagen and elastin fibers, which contribute to more youthful looking skin. These are just 4 of the benefits.


Along with the Salmon I had Uncle Ben's Brown Rice, sliced Carrots, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
