tried the eggplant lasagna. the eggplant wasnt cooked enough but i know what to do differently next time! still had 2 out of 5 people like! (including me

)

tried the blueberry banana cookies. had to bake for 30 minutes rather then 15 since they were still a bit moist. also had to refridgerate rather then leave them out cause they got moist again :shrugs: but they were really good, everyone liked them. substituted brown sugar for splenda, and used half the recommended amt.

This one sounds great. I'm going to try this and freeze them up in little meals for work. I wanted to try the quinoa anyway so this gives me the perfect chance. Thanks.

Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup with Lentils

This soup is great with a meaty sandwich. Or, add your own lean ground beef or turkey, or cut chicken for extra protein! I love to heat up leftover soups and add whatever meat I'm feeling like that day. :zoom:

4 cups low sodium chicken broth (2- 14 oz cans)
4 oz fresh cut green beans
3 oz fresh cut snap peas in pod
6 oz chopped celery
6 oz chopped or shredded carrots
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
15 oz can organic lentils (Westbrae Organic)
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp thyme
½ tsp basil
½ tsp lemon pepper seasoning
¼ tsp onion powder
1 bay leaf (opt.)
1 tsp salt (opt.)

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook for about 3-4 hours on high, or 6-7 hours on low, depending on how “soft” you like your vegetables.

MEAL TOTALS:
CAL- 600
FAT- 0g
CRB- 112g (33g fiber)
PRT- 47g

Makes approximately 70 ounces of soup

FOR 4 SERVINGS OF 17.5 OUNCES: (each)
CAL 150
FAT- 0g
CRB- 28g (8g fiber)
PRT- 11.75g

the eggplant lasagna was one of my not so favorites...only because it was to much work to make LOL! as for the cookies, maybe its the difference in pans or ovens...either way im glad that you liked them! i like to make those ones for church and stuff because of the old people diabetics (if you use the splenda, there is minimal sugars) anyhow, thanks for posting...i appreciate the feedback a lot! :boink1:

I've never made a seafood chowder before, let alone ate one. I generally hate seafood, but I know salmon is good for you so I'm trying to find ways to eat it. I LOVED this, and I'm really proud of it. You can add other "chowdery" veggies to it like corn too. Hope you enjoy it!

Slow Cooker Salmon Chowder

12 oz pink (Alaskan) salmon, drained and flaked (canned or pouch)
3 oz chopped onion
6 oz chopped celery
4-5 oz finely chopped or shoestring carrots
3 cup low sodium chicken broth (I used organic free range, yum!)
8 oz package fat free cream cheese, cubed
¼ cup brown/wild rice
1 T dill weed
1 tsp salt (opt)
¼ cup water

In slow cooker, combine onion, celery, carrots, chicken broth, and rice. Cook for about 4-5 hours on LOW. When the vegetables are soft to your preference, turn the slow cooker to high, add the cubed cream cheese, and stir until melted. Add the salmon, spices, and ¼ cup water. Stir. Cook about 10-20 more minutes on high, stirring occasionally.

This makes 4 generous and filling servings! The final weight was about 52 oz for the whole batch, so split it into smaller servings for an appetizer, or the larger servings for a full meal. I generally HATE fish, but I really liked this!
