I loved my dinner last night so much that when I was leaving the restaurant I ordered a different bowl (Harvest Bowl) to-go so that I would have an easy, healthy lunch for 2 days. I had 1/2 of it for lunch today:
It was brown rice topped with squash, assorted greens, beets, and carrots - Delish!
I also had a couple slices of cheese (don't remember what kind it is because I threw the wrapper out, but it came from Costco), and a peach/apple sauce:
(I only had the 2 slices that are cut - not the whole block :-)
When I got home from work today around 5:30, dinner was READY! You've gotta love slow cookers! This morning we threw all the raw ingredients in, set it on low and walked away. Then, voila, like magic a wonderful aroma was awaiting us as we arrived home after a long work day.
Curried Chicken and Wild Rice Soup:
This is what we did:
Throw this stuff into a slow cooker:
- Bite size pieces of boneless/ skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup uncooked wild rice
- 1 cup corn (I used canned)
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 rib celery, chopped
- 3 (14 oz) cans chicken broth
- 2 (or more) tsp curry powder
Then, add about 2 cups chicken broth, and 2 cups skim milk. Enjoy!
It was simple, and delicious. There are a lot of leftovers, so hubby is taking some for lunch tomorrow and we are freezing the rest for a cool Autumn evening.
This evening I went out for tea with a friend ... and came home feeling really hungry. I guess the soup didn't cut it tonight :-) I had 3 slices of turkey:
And a pot of lightly steamed trees:
Tomorrow is Day 2 of my C25K training schedule ... yikes.
Do you run? Did you like it when you first started? If not, when did you learn to like it ... because I am scared it may never happen!
G'night!

YUM! Your lunch looks soooo good!
Confession: I do not own a slow cooker. Is that really bad? They look so nifty- maybe I should invest in one!
Haha - no that's not bad. Like I said, I rarely use mine :-)
