    Brown rice (with seasonings like pepper, garlic, etc.)

    Spring Mix Salad

    Zucchini and tomato stew cooked in the crock pot...

    Ingrediens: 1 large zucchini diced; 1 large vidalia onion, diced; 1 large tomato, diced, 1 can low sodium kidney beans; 2 cups diced fresh green beans; 1 small can low sodium tomato paste; 2 cups unsalted vegetable broth.

    Combine it all in a big stock pot, fill with water, cook on medium-high or 2 hours or you can also cook this in a crock pot (4 hours on high, 8 hours on low). Serve hot.

    Approx. 150 calories per large bowl.

    We usually eat it with some fresh homemade wheat bread or as an appetizer for a larger dinner.

    You can also throw in seafood (clams, shrimp, scallops) (put this in the last 30 mins of cooking only), beef, chicken breast, ground turkey (put these in at the beginning of your cooking).

    -- EDIT: Turns out soup won't be done in time. We did chicken wraps instead.

    It turned out really nice. The recipe for chicken breasts but all I had were tenderloins, which worked just as well :) The sodium seems high but I'm still new to all the label reading lol.
