Skillet Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese w/ Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage

Dinner Tonight: Skillet Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese w/ Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage






Rolled out to grab the morning papers and it was a bit nippy out, about 26 degrees with a breeze. The day turned out sunny and in the 40's. Started the morning off with Simply Potatoes Hash Browns,

Eckrich Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, 1 slice Aunt Millie's Whole Grain Bread, and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Bad day with Dad today, did Mom's laundry for her she had her hands full today. Dad's health is getting worse every day. For lunch I made everybody Pot Roast Sandwiches for lunch, used the delicious leftovers from last night's dinner. That's one fine recipe to keep! Did some light cleaning around the house and cleaned both our cutting boards. Used a combo of Course Sea Salt and a Lemon, works great as a cleaner on cutting boards. For dinner tonight I prepared Skillet Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese w/ Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage and Baked French Bread.




Wanted a good Comfort Food Dinner tonight and what better combination than a Skillet Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese w/ Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage Dinner. I love Mac and Cheese but don't have it a lot due to the carbs and calories, I have Diabetes 2. But every now and then I give in to the craving and fix a bowl. I do always try to use Whole Grain or Whole Wheat Pastas.






For the Pasta I used Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese. I don’t use a lot of mac and Cheese due to the calories and carbs but the Velveeta Whole Grain Rotini and Cheese isn’t too bad, plus every now and then doesn’t hurt. Just follow the easy instructions on the box and you are set. It's just a flat out Pasta and Cheese Comfort Food Heaven! Excellent tasting Rotini Pasta and with the Cheese, perfect. Put the lid on Sauce Pan and removed it from the heat.






Then for the Turkey Sausage I used Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage. I took one of the Sausages and cut it in to bite size pieces. I took a medium size skillet and sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray. Added a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and heated it on medium heat. When the skillet was heated up I added the Turkey Sausage pieces. I cooked them about 12 minutes, stirring them frequently until browned and heated through. When the Sausage was ready I then added it to my pan of Pasta, gently stirring till mixed.






Served it in a bowl and added a few shakes of Frank's Hot Sauce. The pasta and sausage are a perfect pairing, and the Hot Sauce just kicks up a bit! Comfort Food Deluxe tonight, I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Quail Eggs, Turkey Sausage Links, and Whole Grain English Muffin

Had a first for breakfast this morning, Quail Eggs! I picked these up at Jungle Jim's yesterday. I had always wanted to try them and they had plenty in stock. To open the Egg you have to take a knife and carefully puncture the big part of the Egg at the top. Then remove the top of the Egg so you can pour the Egg out of it's shell into the skillet. If you fry it, which is what I did, it will fry in about 45 seconds. They are the perfect size for you English Muffin! I'll try them a different way tomorrow for breakfast. I had Bob Evans Turkey Sausage Links and a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin also.


A little background on the Quail Egg!

Quail eggs are considered a delicacy in many countries, including western Europe and North America. In Japanese cuisine, they are sometimes used raw or cooked as tamago in sushi and often found in bento lunches.

In some other countries, quail eggs are considered less exotic. In Colombia and Venezuela, a single hard-boiled quail egg is a common topping on hot dogs and hamburgers, often fixed into place with a toothpick. In the Philippines, kwek-kwek is a popular street food delicacy, which consists of soft-boiled quail eggs dipped in orange-colored batter before being skewered and deep-fried. In Vietnam, bags of boiled quail eggs are sold on street stalls as inexpensive beer snacks.

Quail eggs are often believed to be very high in cholesterol, but evidence shows their cholesterol levels are similar to chicken eggs.

Healthier Quail Eggs

A few other facts about Quail eggs from the Healthier Quail Eggs web site. I left the link to the site at the bottom of the post.

Few foods can claim the nutritional value and of a quail egg. As an enriched source of anti-oxidants, essential fatty acids, and Vitamin B Riboflavin, it's often the natural food of choice for medical cures, relief from inflammatory diseases and strengthening our immunity systems. These and other food nutrients further contribute to brain development, sexual potency, glowing skin and healthy hair. And it does this with practically no carbs, no bad cholesterol and food spoilage. Now imagine all of this from a product known for its 5-star elegance and cultural exquisiteness.

Quail eggs improve skin color and strengthen hair. That's why quail eggs are used for egg yolk facial and hair care masks. Its Vitamin B2 Riboflavin provides glowing and healthy skin, while the Vitamins A, B and E give your child shiny and voluminous hair. All this from a 100% natural alternative to harmful hair and skin care chemicals. Quail eggs are also rich in ovomucoidproteins, antioxidants and lysozyme. As a sugar-free, non-processed source of these nutrients, this makes quail eggs ideal for controlling infections and inflammations leading to asthma, allergies, eczema and psoriasis.

As an alkaline forming product, quail eggs have been prescribed as a dietary remedy against tract disorders such as gastritusand ulcers. Along with its enriched source of antioxidants, magnesium, Vitamin B6 and potassium, the quail egg can remove stones formed in the kidneys, liver and gall bladder. They also have the nutrients and properties to help give you the needed energy, resistance from illness, and faster recovery following surgery or from chemotherapy effects and other cancer treatments. Finally, as a low carb, low calorie food, quail eggs are ideal as a non-invasive approach to heart conditions and diabetes treatment. Finally, as a 100% natural source of iron, Vitamin A & B12, quail eggs can greatly benefit those suffering from anemia.
