    cooking for your self or family? I would suggest easy to throw together the night before casseroles nad bake when you get home, or throw something on the grill add a salad and there ya go...

    There are ton's of crock pot and casseroles on the web that are low carb, high fiber and low cal.

    1/2 cup celery, chopped
    1/4 cup onion, chopped
    2 cloves minced garlic
    1 tablespoon fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried
    1 tablespoon fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    1/4 teaspoon salt

    Directions
