As a vegetarian it's important I had to color to my diet - but as most of you know you can eat a million veggies for pretty low calorie while getting all those good nutrients you need.

Roasted vegetables - 1 cup is only 123 calories.

1 small butternut squash, cubed
2 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
1 red onion, quartered
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper

See http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Roasted-Vegetables/Detail.aspx for instructions. (I love this site!)

Enjoy!

I love roasted veggies!! I'm a vegetarian too. Almost a year now.
I'll have to try this because I never thought to use Balsamic Vinegar. Thanks for sharing this.

We do this in a basket on the BBQ - Less oil though, about equal parts with the vinegar, and usually sub eggplant and zucchini for the squash and potatoes. Makes it even lighter and still quite filling. We use it as a substitute for a hamburger and serve it on foccacia topped with a little homemade creamy jalapeno "aioli" (light sour cream, roasted jalapeno pepper and roasted garlic in the food processor) and shredded lettuce and fresh tomato slices. So filling and delicious!!
