Hospitals are terrific for traumatic care; for acute care. They do a really, really good job in saving lives when it’s a sudden bleeding emergency. But in terms of chronic care, they’re terrible; in terms of the illnesses that most people have, endure, that cost the most money, that last the longest and ultimately die from. -Dr. Andrew Saul

Sorry, that was me. Guess I have a weak stomach. Just the thought of my old Lenten Friday favorite makes me lurch now!

MMM, yeah SAVORY waffles. I saw a recipe for Asian pancakes yesterday. The were savory with chopped veggies cooked inthem. You rolled them up and dipped into different flavor dipping sauces.
Anti,,,thanks so much for posting the recipe. I was already getting ready to ask. I browned some ground turkey this evening and was thinking of making some chili. Haven't found my crockpot yet (still unpacking) :) You guys have brightened my spirits so much. Its been awful moving to a new place with no kids this time. :( It's really hard to meet people. love you guys!

Now actually, if you make waffles to go under, say, a cream sauce thingy...like cream of chicken or tuna or cauliflower, THEN onions will work in those waffles really well. We love creamed whatever on waffles. My DH makes the most awesome whole grain waffles ever. And not just SOME whole grain, ALL whole grain and they are light, puffed up, hearty. He really has the knack. Maybe the "secret" is that he separates the eggs and beats the whites and folds them into the batter. I know he hardly mixes the batter 'cuz I can see lots of spots of dry ingredients and even egg whites when he's done mixing. But they are to die for!!

I got the recipe off sparkpeople, in fact it might be from this team's cookbook--don't remember. But, I have my own rendition so I'm just going to post it here the way I have it in my files. The original recipe is here followed by my changes. And I gave it a different name. I think the original name was "Black Bean Chicken". Here it is:
Black Bean Chicken So Easy
An easy slow cooker recipe that the family will enjoy!
2 cans black beans 16 oz jar salsa 1/2 cup brown rice (uncooked) 1 lb chicken breast
Place frozen chicken breasts in slow cooker. Pour beans, rice and salsa over chicken. Cook low 8-10 hours and serve.
Number of Servings: 6
Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LOSER1231. Edinborgh
Annie’s comments: A HIT!! I made this; it was very, very good. I made some changes. Used 4 chicken breasts (boneless/skinless) Added large can whole tomatoes; cut each tomato into 4 pieces Used 1 jar medium salsa Used 2 cans black beans; added in after the dish was cooked just to heat through. (I don’t like mushy beans) I made rice separate so I can chose to have it or not or just a little. Added 1 large onion, chopped Added 1 4 oz can chopped mild green chilies Added cumin, kosher salt, Mexican oregano
I made it the following way when my DIL came for lunch—she is allergic to onions 5 chicken breasts (boneless/skinless) 2 28 oz cans diced tomatoes ˝ a 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies 2 15 oz cans black beans 1 4 oz can diced green chilies (mild) Cumin, salt, oregano
It turned out really great which was a surprise 'cuz I really can't cook without onions!!

I can live with the same man day in and day out, but I got have to have variety in my food!!
It would feel like Ground Hog day (the movie)!! I didn't get enough sleep last night and everything is still funny to me! forgive me.

I still have to think about this but I'm getting some great ideas of some more things to try. I'll be trying Laura's Cajun Shrimp Pasta this weekend and Ani if you could point me in the direction of your chicken and bean crockpot recipe I would be most appreciative. This way I know when I'm down to three choices I have two good ones plus my fruit salad since i don't have Kelly's dh around to cook for me

You can only eat three dishes for the rest of your life. They’re dishes, not single foods; this means you can choose bananas, but you can also opt for Spaghetti Bolognese. You must consider proper nutrition. Side dishes are not allowed. Which three do you choose?
1) 4 egg whites with broccoli, avocado, topped with my chunky salsa.
2) frozen fruit, whey protein blended with milk or OJ depending on my mood.
3) fish tacos
Whisper, if you want someone's attention.

Thanks! I absolutely LOVE fruit salad and I put as much in there as I can. I do suggest cutting everything except the bananas and nuts up and freezing it...Then adding the bananas and nuts when you actually sit down to eat it.

3 - Stir fried veggies served with spaghetti squash, broiled wild salmon and terriaki sauce

You know, no matter how much you like the three dishes, that you will tire of them and hate them if those three are all you will ever get every day for the rest of your life! Always looking at consequences!! lol
Well IF... Green salad with a variety of greens (including spinach), bell peppers, red onions with simple oil and vinegar dressing
Black Bean and Chicken crock pot dish on brown rice
Yogurt with granola that has lots of roasted nuts in it.

1. DH's WW blueberry waffles with maple syrup.
2. DH's grilled eggplant sandwich with flaxseed mayo, avocado, tomato, and sprouts on his homemade WW bread.
3. DH's mushroom tomato sauce served over spaghetti squash
Have I mentioned what a great cook my DH is? (and no worries about protein - there is hemp seed and chia seed in both the bread and waffles!)
