Spaghetti and Meatballs

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti and Meatballs




Had a delicious and healthy Breakfast to start my day, using Jennie - O Breakfast Turkey Sausage Links. Did my daily morning work out and on to some house chores. Also they started the outside repairs today, which are much needed. They are starting with our shed, replacing the corner wood and door. Also a fresh coat of paint. When that's completed it's on to the wooden deck and my wooden ramp. Does no good trying to save money, always something! For tonight's Dinner I prepared Spaghetti and Meatballs.






I'm using Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Spaghetti, my favorite Pasta. Cooks up great and an excellent tasting Pasta. It’s 180 calories and 35 net carbs per serving. Then for my Meatballs I used Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are good size, meaty, and have a fantastic taste and their 190 calories and 5 net carbs for 3 Meatballs. I almost always use Jennie -O when using Turkey but no store in this area sells Jennie – O Turkey Meatballs. I always prepare extra Meatballs so I can make a Meatball Sub with them for my lunch or dinner the next day. For my Pasta Sauce I used a new one I came across at Meijer, Ragu Robusto Parmesan and Romano. I also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread and an ice-cold Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Spaghetti

Here’s something to absorb: One serving of RONZONI HEALTHY HARVEST pasta has over 20% of your daily ronzonirecommended 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 diverticulitis, 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.

Fried Seasoned Haddock w/ Mushroom & Parmesan Risotto and Baby Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Fried Seasoned Haddock w/ Mushroom & Parmesan Risotto and Boiled Baby Carrots

Another humid day out with a whole lot of rain on and off all day. Then it was long night for myself again, Phantom Pains all night and most of today. It was the bad ones too, so I didn't get much sleep. Finally took a nap around 1:00 this afternoon and felt somewhat better. I just wish there was a medication or something to fight Phantom Pains when they occur. I didn't have a chance to go see my Dad but talked to him on the phone a couple of times. For dinner tonight I prepared a Fried Seasoned Haddock w/ Mushroom & Parmesan Risotto and Boiled Baby Carrots.

Haddock just frys up so good, a nice golden brown crust with a great fresh taste. To prepare it I had a big fillet that I rinsed in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. I then cut the fillet into smaller pieces, seasoned it 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. I pan fried them in Canola Oil, frying them about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. The Zatarain Mix gives it that golden brown crust I love along with a ton of flavor.








For one side dish I made some Mushroom and Parmesan Risotto. I used Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto. Quick, easy, and delicious Risotto dish. Ready in about 25 – 30 minutes. I added some fresh sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms to it as it was cooking. Then when it was ready I sprinkled some fresh grated Parmesan Cheese on it. Then I also boiled some Mini Carrots and had a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.








Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto

Enjoy the delectable flavor of rich, aged Parmesan cheese in this elegant Italian-style risotto. We created this delicious gourmet side dish by blending quality ingredients like Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, and spices with our creamy Arborio rice. You’ll love how the individual kernels plump, creating a rich, creamy sauce while the rice grains remain separate and al dente. Preparing this tasty risotto takes about 20 minutes and requires minimal stirring. It’s an easy, convenient way to add gourmet flair to any meal.

Cooking Instructions

In a heavy 2 qt. saucepan, sauté rice in ½ Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 2½ cups water and contents of seasoning pouch. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cook uncovered for 20 minutes stirring occasionally until rice is tender. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese is desired. Serve piping hot.


Ingredients

Eco-Farmed Arborio Rice, Parmesan and Cheddar Cheese Blend (Parmesan Cheese, Cheddar Cheese {Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes}), Salt, Whey, Buttermilk Powder, Dried Cane Syrup, Natural Flavors (Cheese, Dairy), Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Sodium Phosphate, Maltodextrin, Dried Parsley, Yeast Extract, Butter (Cream, Salt), Rice Flour, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Expeller-Pressed Safflower or Sunflower Oil, Pepper, Lactic Acid, Nonfat Milk, Enzyme-Modified Cheddar Cheese, Turmeric.

Panko Crusted Baked Shrimp w/ Mac and Cheese

Dinner Tonight: Panko Crusted Baked Shrimp w/ Mac and Cheese

Started with a Breakfast of Turkey Goetta and Hash Brown Skillet! I love using Goetta in any Breakfast Dish. It was a little bit hotter and more humid out today. Still working on cleaning out the shed and worked on the computer today. Had to purchase a new mouse for the computer, the old one kept conking out on me. For dinner tonight I prepared Panko Crusted Baked Shrimp w/ Mac and Cheese.






I found the Shrimp recipe on the back of a box of Shake and Bake Panko Bread Crumbs. I'm a Shrimp lover so why not make as healthy as you can. Baking over frying, to save on those calories and carbs. I needed the following to prepare the Shrimp; 16 oz jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined), sea salt and pepper to taste, 1/4 cup egg substitute (Egg Beaters), 1 packet of Shake and Bake Panko Bread Crumbs, 1 tbsp Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese, and Pam Cooking Spray. The original recipe didn't call for the Parm Cheese, I added that.





To prepare start by preheating the oven to 400°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Put the egg beaters in one bowl, and the breadcrumbs, panko and Parmesan cheese in another bowl. Wash and dry the shrimp. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then put a few at a time in the bowl with the egg beaters to coat. Put a few pieces of shrimp at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on a baking sheet. Spray the top of the shrimp with baking spray then bake in the middle rack for about 6-7 minutes. Turn shrimp over then cook another 3 minutes or until cooked though. Remove from oven and serve right away. These Shrimp are the bomb! You have that delicious taste of the Shrimp, the tangy sharpness of the Parm Cheese and the crunch of the Panko. Another one of those keeper recipes! For a side I prepared a Microwavable Bowl of Kraft Cheese and Shells, made with 2% Milk. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer's Carb  Chocolate Ice Cream.






Panko Crusted Baked Shrimp

Ingredients:

16 oz jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
sea salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup egg substitute (egg beaters)
1 packet Shake and Bake Panko Bread Crumbs

Pam Cooking Spray



Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Put the egg beaters in one bowl, and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.

Wash and dry the shrimp. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then put a few at a time in the egg beaters to coat. Put a few pieces of shrimp at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on a baking sheet.

Spray the top of the shrimp generously with baking spray then bake in the middle rack for about 6-7 minutes. Turn shrimp over then cook another 3 minutes or until cooked though. Remove from oven and serve right away.

Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs w/ Baked French Bread

Dinner Tonight: Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs w/ Baked French Bread

A sunny Spring day out today, but we still have a cool light breeze blowing. Took the Cart out for a spin but wasn't out too long due to the wind. The past day or so Mom and me have been gathering old bills and documents that needed shredded. This morning around the area was Shred Day. They have this every Spring where you can drop off anything you need shredded. I believe there was 4 drop areas this year from 9-1. I went over to one that was about 2 miles away around 9:00 this morning. I had no clue what I was in store for! There was literally hundreds, and I mean hundreds, of cars already in line! So from 9:02 this morning till about 10:10 I was in line to drop off 6 bags of bills and papers that needed shredded. The line actually moved quicker than what I thought it would, but what a traffic nightmare it was over there. Next time I'll go early. We have a shredder, but its old and very slow. Maybe it's time to invest in a new one. Anyway for dinner a classic comfort food, Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs with French Bread.








You just can't go wrong with a Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs Dinner! I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs along with Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs. I always use Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pastas. The Spaghetti is 180 calories and 35 net carbs, which isn't bad for Pasta. The Honeysuckle White Turkey Meatballs are the best I’ve found, fantastic taste and their 190 calories and 6 carbs for 3 Meatballs. Topped everything with some fresh grated Parmesan Cheese and Ragu Chunky Mushroom Pasta Sauce. I normally use Bella Vita Low carb Pasta Sauce but was out of it so I went with the Ragu, which was excellent! I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury Rustic French Bread. Before baking it I brushed the top with extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkled Sesame Seeds across the top. It was a real Italian treat tonight! For dessert later a Jello Sugar free Double Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
