I’d love to write the Nurtitional Info sections for your recipes! I use SparkPeople to track and I trust their system since most of the info is entered by members. Let me know…I’m on Twitter!

this was sooo good- I threw whatever veggie we had leftover from christmas, we all loved it.

It’s cooling off a bit here in the evenings. I think this sounds like the perfect recipe to make in the next couple of days. LOVE the crockpot!

I am planning on making these tonight. Since it’s just me and my husband, I’m planning on making this and freezing half of it. I put the recipe into WW recipe builder, and when I made it for 12 servings, it came to 5 points each. That is probably more than enough for a sandwich.

This would probably be great in stuffed peppers…may have to try it for dinner tomorrow night! Thanks!

Just made them for dinner. I added a dash of cayenne pepper, 2 dashes of chili powder and a dash of crushed red chili peppers. Yummm! Just like my Gram’s dynamites!

I love adding veggies to ground protein. We just had taco night (my FAV). I added 1 onion and 1 zucchini to a pound of ground chicken. YUM! No complaints from the husband.

Made this last night with a few changes. I left out the celery (not a fav of mine) and didn’t have any spinach. I used orange bell pepper and made a homemade sauce. The family liked it! Adding veggies was a great way to stretch and health up an already family fav! Thanks, Roni!

I posted this post this morning to Ashley’s Edible Perspective giveaway aand thought I would forward to each of you. I’ve declared it blogger appreciation day at my house in Cambridge, MA!

as a perpetual yo-yo dieter, i found food blogs through searching out inspiration to help me get HEALTHY! I now work in schools as a counselor, and unfortunately everyday I talk about body image, and, fortunately eating healthy. Its just so important to me. I want to be an inspiration and motivation to my students and there is nothing more I want to impart to my kids than: its NOT about being thin- its about being the right, healthy size for you and eating good whole foods.

As an oatmeal connoisseur (you know I love my steel cut!) I stumbled on lady Kath’s “tribute” to the good stuff, and felt like I struck gold. I went through dozens of blogs before I found an army of favorites that I check religiously. Every day, I look to four women that inspire me and use cooking philosophies that I am proud to call my own as well. I now visit Kath, Caitlin, Roni and you every day as inspiration and my motivation to continue healthy eating every single day (and of course, my fifth, Deb over at Smitten Kitchen, because everyone needs some SEE RI OUS indulgence… that woman is a goddess). Anyways, thanks for doing what you do.

This was great! I didn’t have the tomatoes or celery but added mushrooms. Tossed last night’s leftover brown rice into the crock pot and ate it straight up!

This looks great! I love bulking up my sloppy joes with veggies. Thanks for sharing!

Kiley – I don’t think that’s an amateur question! I did fully cook it I’ve tried to add raw chop-meat to the crock pot and I don’t like the texture of how it comes out. I find in a dish like this with all the “saucey” stuff it stays nice and moist.

Hope that helps!

very amateur cook question.. but did you fully cook your meat before crock potting it? Would that not dry it out?? Thanks!

I like some of her idea and she totally inspires me but yes.. you’re right.. the whole concept of “tablescapes” annoys me!

Looks Great! I like to add things to premade/mixes too. Like Semi-Homemade on food network (only her color coordinated kitchen, “tablescapes” and always a cocktail at the end drive me crazy!).

Carrie – I did a variety of buns (making sure I had 1 pointers for me. ;) A veggie tray, baked dorritos with salsa, pretzels, and some cookies as we have a tradition of always having something sweet at our poker events.

I love to pump up the recipes with veggies! I use a lot of canned shortcuts, nothing wrong with that! Thanks!

What else did you serve with it for sides? I’m having a party on Saturday and was going to do meatballs, maybe I’ll do this instead!

I can say we definitely weren’t just being polite. It was awesome, on a roll or as you say straight up. I tried it both ways! Thanks for the new idea! :)

This sounds and looks so good. I think I’ll make it for dinner tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
