    I have a vegetable soup murmuring away in my slow cooker at the moment; carrot, parsnip, onion, celery, and potato, with a bit of mustard, tomato puree and cumin, and some pearl barley.

    I have leftover risotto, so I'll put 2/3 of it into a portobello cap, bake it in a water bath for 25 minutes...and roast some asparagus at the same time.

    When's dinner?

    We have a bit of steak left to use from a birthday dinner yesterday. So grill up the steak, slice it into thin slices and serve over huge salad with oil & vinegar dressing. Steak salad = yum. :smile:

    It's a late one at work, so I needed something fast. Spaghetti squash cooked in the microwave and then some Classico spaghetti sauce heated up (it has the least amount of sodium for a jar of sauce). Topped with a bit of parm cheese.

    Tonight's dinner will be shredded chicken in a carolina sauce on homemade, whole wheat buns with roasted root vegetables (turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, beets, carrots). I think I might steam some broccoli too.

    Well, I'm totally sick today and behind on dinner plans... so dinner at our house might be a frozen pizza.

    However yesterday I made a yummy easy slow cooker recipe.

    4-6 Chicken Boneless Breasts Thawed
    1 Bottle of your Favorite BBQ Sauce
    A sprinkle of brown sugar
    Dried Chopped Onion - would use real onion, but I was out.

    Set on low for 8-10 hours or High for 4-5

    Not high in calories, but kinda high in sodium .... overall healthy I'd say.

    Husband loved it!!!! I will try some for lunch today. Couldn't eat it yesterday, too sick! :grumble:

    I'm making something I got from the Mayo Clinic website... I just use Whole Wheat pasta and I use half the olive oil and substitute the other half with lemon juice. I'll serve it with a salad.

    Ingredients
    1/3 pound rigatoni noodles
    1 cup broccoli florets (tops)
    2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    2 teaspoons minced garlic
    Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    Directions
    Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (tender), 10 to 12 minutes, or according to the package directions. Drain the pasta thoroughly.

    While the pasta is cooking, in a pot fitted with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add the broccoli, cover and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta and broccoli. Toss with Parmesan cheese, olive oil and garlic. Season with pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
