S Dinner: Leftover pork roast (warmed up in chicken broth), Brussel sprouts with butter and seasoning (I would have loved more, but the children actually like brussel sprouts, shock shock), slice of Nuke Queen bread with butter (first time making it. It turned out a bit dry because I cooked it longer as I thought it wasn't fully cooked. I don't have a glass bread pan,so I used a Corning Ware bowl, so I wasn't sure how long to cook it.)

Dessert was another few pieces of skinny chocolate. Which took me 1 piece above the recommended 1/3 of a batch per day. But, it is so good!

Chicken and Rice with Veggies Soup




1 32 container chicken broth
5 smallish carrots sliced
1/2 of a green pepper chopped
1 sweet potato cut into bite-sized pieces
chopped up broccoli (would have liked more, but we only had a small crown left)
1 cup cooked brown rice
leftover chicken breast cut up (about 2)

Put chopped veggies in a large pot and add the chicken broth. 
Bring it to a boil and cook until veggies are tender. 
Add the chicken about 5 minutes after it starts to boil. 
When the veggies are done, add the rice. 
Stir and serve.

Serves 4, but in our house it served the 6 of us because the children don't have as much as we do.

This is an E meal because I used chicken breast and my carb sources are the rice, sweet potato and carrots. It also had the non-starchy veggies to make it more filling. There was a little bit of fat from the butter that the rice was cooked with and the Laughing Cow Cheese (less than 5 grams). I figured that I had about 1/4 of the sweet potato and 1/2 serving of rice in 1/4 of the recipe. I added a slice of Ezekiel bread for a little more carbs. I spread it with Asiago Laughing Cow Cheese. Had lettuce and tomato salad on the side.
