    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.

    My hubby bought me an electric pressure cooker and its the best thing ever! I throw in a pear, a butternut squash a can of FF chicken broth, a chopped pepper, salt and pepper to taste and in 6 minutes it is cooked super soft and I puree it with a hand mixer adding a small cup of heavy cream. Its MARVELOUS!! AND makes a lot! I can eat on it all week with some FF croutons. YUMMO!

    Salmon -- not sure how I'm preparing it yet. Probably baked with some kind of seasonings or sauce. Crash hot potatoes (new potatoes boiled, lightly mashed, then baked -- MMMM!), and maybe some roasted carrots. I'm not sure my oven can cook all of that at once though, so I might have to make something on the stove top. :laugh:

    All recipes ten minute szechuan chicken. Only 206 calories per serving. That with brown rice and a vegetable put you at only like a 400 calorie dinner.

    I'm having leftovers - I made a lightened up version of Zuppa Toscana (soup) from Olive Garden. It has 1/2 lb spicy sausage, 4 small russet potatoes, 1 can of chicken broth, water, 1 cup of heavy cream, diced garlic, salt, pepper and a bunch of kale. It made 10 servings (about 1.5 cups each) @ 200 calories per serving. So I'm having that with some homemade bread, light butter spread and honey! Sooo delicious and the whole dinner is only 400 calories.

    2 fillets of smoked river cobbler (fish) with carrots and parsnips.

    The whole meal is steamed.

    I steam all my vegetables, so they retain their nutrients better.

    I put a whole chicken in the crockpot, so we'll have that! I'll make roasted potatoes for the kids/husband and I'll have roasted snap peas with shallots. Something else too, just not sure what!
