    I'm making beef stew in my slow cooker. I use tomatoes and tomato juice instead of making a gravy base, it's yummy and healthier!

    We're (hubby is) grillin steaks tonight! Sweet potatoes, broccoli, and salad. Yum Yum I :heart: sweet potatoes! We had pot roast the night before last. I just put a roast and any and all kind of veggies I have, cover with water, add LOTS of pepper, chopped garlic and some cumin and cook all day. No broth necessary and cuts out tons of sodium! Last night I made a casserole that was nice and hot. I boiled 4 small chicken breasts (add garlic or any seasonings to the water while you boil the chicken!) 2 bags (boil in bag) brown rice, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, spinach all chopped up all mixed together with the chicken, spread into casserole dish, sprinkle with mozz cheese and bake until hot. It was good! OH! Lots of pepper and garlic powder in that too!:tongue:

    I received this recipe from a fellow camper while camping last fall, it's quick and easy to put together to get the chill off. I'm not sure of the calories, but it can't be much.

    I have made it several times for the hubby and kids, they like it. I usually serve it with grilled cheese sandwiches.

    Rice and Chicken Soup

    1 Can of Cream of Mushroom soup
    Large can of chicken - (I buy Kroger brand)
    1 cup of rice
    2 cans of water

    Mix soup, 2 cans of water, and chicken ( with juice from can). I stir this around a bit to loosen up the chicken hunks. Bring to a boil, add cup of rice and cover. Set aside for 5 minutes.
    ** I do add salt and pepper, so season to taste.
    ** Left over chicken will work too.

    Google "the Cabbage Soup Diet". I'm not saying the diet itself is good, but if you take the cabbage soup recipie and modify it (I add more spices, and some beans and boiled chicken breast for lean protein) then it's actually really good. You can modify it however you want, I add more onions and stewed tomatoes b/c i like those...

    also it is super-low cal, AND packed with fiber... i think without my added beans and chicken it would be less then 200 cals for a huge bowl, it's basically all veggies and broth.

    i made a big batch and froze it. I have it for lunch or dinner a few times a week.

    Also homemade onion soup is good if you don't make it with butter, oil, or cheese and bread (haha i love onions!)
