I Swear this isn't a Food Blog

I am just having a [blast!] finding healthy things to make [or mostly healthy, anyway].

I think I am off of my menu plan, just switched the days around a little.

Tonight I made cheeseburgers and Pasta Salad.


Yes... that's spinach, onions, thyme, and garlic. See all that deliciousness?

And here was the final plating! The pasta salad was made of that Wacky Veggie Pasta, Fat Free Italian [Kraft] and olives. Sprinkled a little Parmesan on the burger and the pasta, and viola! Dinner!

We are about to go pick up Marcos now... once we get home, Isa and I are headed to the gym and then a quick dip in the pool.

Have I mentioned how much I love summer?

Recipe: Roasted Chicken Breast & Veggies

Tonight's dinner was a success. The kids loved it!

The above picture is of Isabe's plate.

I used boneless/skinless chicken breast and covered it in garlic, salt, and chicken rub and roasted it in a shallow pan in the oven for 50 minutes. The inside was just moist enough!

For the roasted veggies, I used some Olive Oil on a cookie sheet and cut up Turnips, Zucchini, a Gold potato, a Yam [or Sweet Potato, I am not really sure], onions and garlic. That was roasted for 40 minutes.

And for our salad; a little Romain, some cheese, olives, and cucumbers - score! We used a low fat Italian Romano Basil Vinaigrette.

I couldn't finish my plate... it was very filling and very tasty!

Later on, for desert, we will have a few spoonfuls of strawberry yogurt with slices of strawberry mixed in!

Turkey Sausage with Veggies & Pasta Recipe

As I mentioned in my meal plan, today was Turkey Italian Sausage with Veggies & Pasta.

I used a little Olive Oil in two frying pans.

In the first one, I chopped up:
2 Garlic cloves
1 Zucchini
1 Yellow Squash
7 Mushrooms
1 small Green Pepper
A Pinch of Thyme
A Pinch of Rosemary
Salt & Pepper


In the second one:
5 Turkey Sweet Italian Sausage Links [160 calories per link!] cut into slices.

In a pot, I boiled water for the Rigatoni Pasta.

Once the veggies and sausage were both done, I mixed them together. Once the pasta was al dente, I drained it, and then added a little olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Finally, I gently mixed everything together. It made two bowls full, so plenty for me and the kids, and for Junior when he gets home from work tonight, and leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Along with the meal, I added bowel of fruit [the kids loved it!] - Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Blueberries and Strawberries.

Here are some pics!
