Easy Minestrone

This is the easiest minestrone dish I have ever seen or made. It involves boiling celery, onion, canned tomatoes and diced carrots in stock, then adding easy mac, waiting for that to cook, and finally adding baked beans. This is served with a side of slim noodles fried with leftover onion. This meal great value for calories and delicious.

Slim noodles and kale

After being on My Fitness Pal for 2+ years, I can safely say that slim noodles and kale is one of those dieting clichés. It wasn't my fault that I happened to find lots of kale and slim noodles on special at the same time, in the same inner city supermarket of Canberra (coincidence? I think not). I did make one important adjustment that made this extremely filling and yet non-satiating meal palatable: oodles of soy sauce. The whole meal was about 100 calories.
