I made a wonderful (if I do say so myself) Shrimp Pasta Primavera. It had snap peas, red peppers, broccoli and lots of plump shrimp over pasta.

Thanks Tabby, I'll be making up for that dinner for days! The cholesterol alone was scary. Two extra miles? Sure, why not! ETA: more than half of that dinner is in a to go box in the refrigerator

Fashionably late dinner last night, Crockpot Roast with oodles of veggies (DH wouldn't allow me to cook in the kitchen - the smells might go into his freshly painted walls - ACK!!! so I cooked in the laundry room, but don't tell anyone, I'd have to deny it.LOL) A great new microwave chicken/broccoli dish with oven potatoes the night before.

Ok, I cooked today for the first time since January (and the fire). I made homemade chicken soup with matzoh balls and roasted chicken. It was so hard to cook, not having my stuff. To me nothing tastes the same. And, I love my chicken soup, it soothes my soul.

I had a backwards day... pizza for "brunch", lol (Pizza Hut pan pizza... pineapples, green peppers and onions), and breakfast for dinner... cheese and ham omelette with potatoes O'Brien. Lumbele, I love any combo of chicken and broccoli... care to share details of your new recipe?

Certainly, Melfie, anytime. The recipe is from a German magazine, for 2 ppl, made in a 600 Watt microwave, so you may have to adjust times. 1 lb broccoli, small florets and cubed stems 1 large carrot, cubed 1 onion, diced butter or margerine 1/3 c chicken broth 3 T white wine 1 chicken breast, cut into larger cubes 1/2 c whipping cream salt, pepper fresh nutmeg 2 oz soft cheese 2 oz raclette cheese slices, cut into strips 1 pinch sugar flour(or cornstarch) and water to thicken Place small amount of butter in microwavable cassarole (ca. 10"), top with onion and microwave for 2 mins, add carrots, cover and nuke 2 more mins. Then add broccoli stems, chicken and florets, pour broth and wine over top and nuke 8 mins, carefully stirring after about 4. Mix cream and spices, add to rest, spread cheeses over top and stir lightly, cover, nuke for 4 mins. Add thickener and nuke 3 more mins. Let stand for 5 mins. For soft cheese I used half a box of little cubes of that cheese with the red cow (don't know what it's called) and instead of raclette cheese I used 3 low fat swiss cheese slices. Since I have to reduce fat content, I also replaced 2/3 of the cream with broth and gave it an extra shot of wine. Priorities, dontcha know.LOL Hope you'll enjoy it.

I made a chicken-chipotle soup with lime. Boil a boneless chicken breast with skin until done. Save the water. The skin will eek out just enough fat to fake chicken stock. In a pot, heat a couple tbls. oil. Add 1/4 cup red onion, a couple cloves minced garlic, 3 chopped chipotles, some of the adobo sauce from the can and a tablespoon or so of tomato paste. Simmer until onions go clear and add the fake stock. Oh, season the water with poultry seasoning and salt when boiling the chicken. Add 1/2 cup frozen corn. You can use a cup if carbs aren't an issue. Mushrooms are a good sub. Simmer. Remove the skin from the chicken, chop or shred and add to the mix. Add enough water to cover and simmer 'till bubbly. Add juice of one lime and if you have them, a couple tbls. pepitas. Nice and spicy!
