• Me: “Hey Dad, what are you making?”
• Dad: “Turkey tetrazzini!”
• Me: “Um, what recipe did you use?”
• Dad: “the usual one that your mom makes!”
• Me: “okay?”

He brings the dish to the table, very proud because it is bubbly and looks delicious, but the smell was overwhelming!  At first bite, I spit it right out in my napkin!  Turns out he used  1 CUP OF DRY SHERRY instead of 1 TABLESPOON!  And I am not a huge fan of sherry anyway!  Oh well!

My recipe is a bit more figure friendly.  I added crushed red pepper to my plate, so maybe the rest of the casserole was a bit bland for Tony.

• 2 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon diced garlic
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup skim milk
• 3/4 cup parmesan cheese
• 10 ounces cooked diced turkey
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pound cooked spaghetti
• 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Melt buter and saute garlic for a few minutes.  Add two tablespoons of flour and mix for 2 minutes.  Slowly add chicken broth to make a thick sauce, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat.  Add milk, Parmesan cheese, milk, salt and pepper to taste and stir until cheese is melted.  Stir in cooked pasta and turkey.  Pour into casserole dish (I used my pie plate!).  Sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake for 375 degrees for 30 minutes, or until bubbly.

Hot out of the oven!

I sliced some cucumbers with 1 tablespoon of blue cheese dressing:

1/4 of the pie plate comes in at 466 calories, 17 fat, 32 carbs, 2 fiber and 31 protein

Snow is lightly falling, we’ll see what tomorrow brings!  See you in the a.m.!

I finally cooked the turkey breast tonight.  I bought it over the weekend, and it kept on getting bumped to another day.  Just a simple dry rub on the grill.  It was bone in, so it took a bit longer AND I slightly overcooked it, but it was still tasty!

I never knew turkey breasts had the pop-up thingy like whole turkeys!

awesome coals sweets!

Dinner:

• approximately 4 ounces turkey
• approximately 3 ounces potatoes
• 1 roll
• 3 cups fresh spinach
• 1 ounce carrots
• 2 tablespoons Annie’s Goddess dressing (LOVE THIS!)
• red wine

I am not exactly sure what the calories were, but I had about 700 to spend before dinner, so I am not worried about it.

And I was driving home, one of my favorite trees on my trip home is almost in full swing.  So this is for all the people who don’t experience true fall!

Night all!
