Elli's recipe for roasted veggies and her salad.
BIG salad every day for lunch. I use 4 or 5 kinds of lettuce/greens. romaine, mustard greens, cale, chard. etc. and red cabbage. bell peppers, celery, cukes, fresh herbs (dill and cilantro are my favorite), red onions. I always have a big bowl of that kind of mix in the fridge. Then when i'm going to eat i'll add tomatos, some other veggies steamed but crunchy (asparagus, broccoli) and some protein. it's a TON of vegetables! Then roasting - i always roast 'em in the oven on 425. usually i just spray them with pam. I do peppers, eggplant, green beans that way. butternut squash i do use a little olive oil and toss it with cumin, salt, allspice, coriander and pepper. Wish you were here! i'd give you a butternut - i still have 4 left from the garden. ,
Thanks Elli for giving us some ideals.

Lentil Soup with Chipotle Yogurt
By The Sprouted Kitchen
WebMD Recipe from Foodily.com Ingredients
2 Cups Lentils (French or Black Beluga)
1 Yellow Onion, Diced
1 Fennel Bulb, Diced
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Cup Brown Rice, Cooked (any whole grain will work)
6 Cups Organic, Low Sodium Vegetable Stock
1 tsp. Cumin
1 Large Bunch of Kale, Chard or Combo of Leafy Greens
Salt/ Pepper
1 Lemon
CHIPOTLE YOGURT
1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Chipotle Chile in Adobo, Chopped (no more than 2 tsp.)
Instructions
Cook your rice or desired grain and set aside. Boil about four cups water, and boil the lentils for 20 minutes until cooked. Add water as needed.
Drain.
In a large soup pot, brown the yellow onion and the fennel in the olive oil for about 8 minutes, or until just starting to turn light brown. Add the stock and cumin. Bring the heat back up to a gentle boil, about 10 minutes.
Add the lentils and the brown rice and simmer about 10 minutes. While you are waiting, stem your greens and slice them into thin strips. Taste the soup for salt and pepper, add seasoning as desired.
Turn off the heat and add in the greens, stir. The greens will wilt in the hot soup, and avoid overcooking this way. Stir in the juice of half the lemon, add more to taste.
Mix the Greek yogurt with the chipotle chili and stir. Serve the soup with the dollop of the chipotle yogurt. Warning, chipotles are pretty spicy, so start with a small amount of sauce and you can add if you like it hot. If too spicy, add more yogurt.

Asparagus Spears with Mandarin Orange
Recipe courtesy of Harvard University Dining Services
Serves 4
•1 pound fresh asparagus
•1 4-ounce can of mandarin oranges, drained
•1 tablespoon olive oil
•Salt (optional) and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Break off and discard the woody ends of the asparagus and cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces....................................................................... I will have to change it up some for my plan. but not much.
Put the asparagus in a bowl, drizzle it with the olive oil, and sprinkle it with salt (if desired) and pepper. Toss gently to distribute the olive oil.
Spread the asparagus evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven until tender, about 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven, place in a warmed bowl, toss with the mandarin orange sections, and serve.

From Dee thanks a lot for sharing sounds so good.
Cook as usual, scraping your noodles out and putting them in a bowl. We then make individual servings by adding
a Laughing Cow light swiss wedge, some butter spray, garlic powder & salt. Heat in microwave for 1 min to melt cheese and stir.
Top with grated parmesan cheese and stir. ENJOY!! We think it tastes like alfredo "noodles". Very good...promise!
Thanks Dee for sharing.0 -
Sounds like another good recipes from Dee, So i copy it and pasted it here thank you Dee.
I'm reviving some WW recipes from the past. I'd forgotten about this one and it's so easy and yummy that I want to share it with you. It's called Vanilla Ricotta Creme - 1 cup lowfat ricotta, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 pak sweetner (I use 1 Tb honey instead). Mix together well. I use 2 Tb of it on a rice cake for a delicious snack. This can be the base for whatever you want to do with it. I also make Peanut Butter Ricotta Creme by adding 4 Tb peanut butter to the base and mixing it well. For a fruity approach, just spread a Tb of your favorite preserves (mine's strawberry) on the rice cake and put the Vanilla Ricotta creme on top. YUM! Enjoy!
If you want more old WW recipes, just say so and I'm happy to share.
Yes indeed send us some more0 -
MARIE,, this is off subject, but our Senior Golden Sneakers is locked and no longer accepts my posts. Who fixes that?

Here's a wonderful soup for any day.
Stir mix into water and simmer for about an hour, stirring frequently. Watch this - it WILL cook over if you don't monitor the heat.
Brown turkey, and add to soup mix. Add roasted tomatoes and chopped cabbage. Add beef base. If you're watching sodium, substitute Oxbow no sodium beef bullion, or a low-sodium beef base (Nestle, Minors, etc.). Simmer for another hour. Add additional two cups of water five minutes prior to serving as the cooking process will reduce the liquid. This makes 16 cups of delicious soup.0 -
