    Here is some ideas....Saute your favorite veggies and add a seasoning packet if you aren't good with combining your own spices. Even toss in a little pasta if you like. .....Make some rice seasoned with chicken bullion,,,,,,,,Cut potatoes into chuncks and roast with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.......sliced cucumber, onion, and tomatoes tossed in your favorite vinegrette.......

    I use my croc pot to cook veggies, rice, can of soup and whatever meat is already cooked plus whatever seasonings . A fresh fruit salad is easy. Loaded tuna sandwich with tons of diced veggies on a croissant. Cake made with a can of diet pop.

    I made this Asain Slaw side dish for a pot luck at work and people LOVED it. http://www.onceuponachef.com/2011/03/asian-slaw-with-ginger-peanut-dressing.html It says "serves 6" but it made a lot (8+ cups) Its about 100 calories per half cup.
