On Friday I invented a casserole and threw in some pumpkin hummus. I'll call it....
Sleep Deprivation Casserole
- Approx 3 cups cooked whole wheat pasta (I used Rotini because its my favorite!)
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- Sauteed broccoli (I used frozen, tossed in a pan with olive oil, pepper and garlic until defrosted)
- Caramelized onions
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- Shredded low fat mozzarella mixed with a little Parmesan cheese
Bake at 350 covered for 20 minutes (to heat through) then uncovered for 10 minutes (to melt cheese).
It was surprisingly tasty for being a product of my tired brain, I ate some for lunch today and it was still good!
Tonight I made a giant salad:
- Romaine
- Chopped onion and bell pepper
- Sliced avocado
- Chopped chicken (had some leftover from the casserole above)
- Blue cheese
- Cranberry Balsamic dressing
- I added a serving of parmesean garlic pita chips as a snacky side.
I love casseroles - they are so easy and last so long and you can put just about anything in them. YUM.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Just need some carbs, some veggies, and some egg or cheese to hold it all together and bam! Dinner. And then leftovers for a week.
