In the interest of keeping dinner as low points as possible, I decided to bulk up some ULTRA low cal, low sodium, fat free (and still very good!) jar spag sauce with lots of veggies instead of meat.
We had this over some yumtastic- totally-good-for-you multi-grain spaghetti.
I dumped the sauce into my crockpot along with a medium zucchini (which I shredded in my food processor), and I sauteed 1/2 a chopped onion, a chopped green bell pepper, a large handful of shredded carrots, and an 8 oz. pkg of sliced 'shrooms in a pan sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. After they were cooked/browned most of the way, I tossed them in the crockpot with the sauce and zucchini. I cooked it on high for 2 hours and turned it down to low for the last hour. The sauce was already cooked, I know, but I wanted to infuse it with the flavor from the veggies.
It was VERY tasty! (and only 1 point for 1 whole cup of the sauce!)
Bonus shot of my adorable hubby, giving me his "thanks for a good dinner, babe!" grin.
