[RaydensMama]

What about a Macaroni casserole or something?

 

My recipie is easy, just some ground beef, onion, green pepper, tomato sauce and macaroni. Season it with a little bit of worcestershire sauce and salt.

 

Or a tuna casserole. Hmmm. I think I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!

Mmmm Becks' macaroni casserole made me think of homemade mac/cheese/ham casserole. It's so yummy and you can throw some spinach or broccoli in it if you want to add something healthy. I wing it but google it for real recipes. It is oh so comforting!

My favorite thing to make and eat at home is "white chicken chili". YUM, it's delish! Here's the recipe, it seems like alot, but it really is pretty easy, oh and it's great to make a whole bunch, cuz it's better the next day. I might have to make some myself now that I am thinking about it....

1 tablespoon dried basil leaves

2 teaspoons ground red chilies or chili powder

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

2 cans (15 to 16 ounces each) great northern beans, undrained

1 medium tomato, chopped (3/4 cup)

NOTE: I go heavy on the cilantro (an entire bunch), beans (2 large cans and usually 1 small) and chicken (I usually bake the chicken with salt and pepper, shred it after cooking and then put in the chili – I hate touching raw chicken); skipped the tomato. I also don't use a dutch oven, but just melt the butter and brown the onions in the bottom of my large soup pot.

I get a lot of recipes from sparkpeople.com. People who use the site, post their (mostly) healthy recipes and list the nutritional value too.

 

Reading these posts made me hungry!! Good luck!

Not exactly low carb, but great comfort food.. we had a baked potato with broccoli, cheese, and chicken on it last night. (Actually we made/split 2 potatoes and had it for the last two nights. The chicken was leftover from 3 nights ago (grilled) and the potato and broccoli were made in the microwave. Super easy and tasted great!

 

edit: just realized you don't have any potatoes! lol
