Sure!
Roasted Garlic Grilled Cheese:
1 roasted garlic baguette (I find it at Stop n Shop..it has whole cloves of roasted galic, not for the shy!)
2 tsp. EVOO
8 slices low-fat Sargento Provolone
6 thick slices of tomato
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
Fresh basil
Split open the baguette. Drizzle bread with a little bit of oil. Layer tomato and cheese with basil. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, drizzle remaining oil. Place in a skillet or grill pan that is sprayed with Pam. Let cook over medium heat for a few minutes, then place a heavy skillet on top of sandwich and let cook till crispy and cheese is thoroughly metled. HEAVEN!!!
Creamy Tomato Soup
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 package vegetable broth
2 cans Italian plum tomatoes, drained
1 can tomato sauce
1/4 cup vodka
6 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon salt teaspoon sugar
2 cups half-and-half
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring often, for 30 seconds.
Add the broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, vodka, parsley, salt and sugar to the slow cooker; add the sauteed onions and garlic. Cover and cook on high heat to stew the tomatoes, 5 hours. Discard the parsley sprigs.
Using an immersion blender or a food processor, puree the soup in batches (be careful-the liquid is hot). Stir in the half-and-half. Cook in the covered slow cooker on low heat until heated through, 20 to 30 minutes.
I know you're pregnant, so you can omit the vodka 
Cajun Chicken
4 thin sliced chicken cutlets
Every seasoning you own
1 tbsp veggie oil
Place chicken and oil in a Ziploc baggie and add ANY spices you like, I use poultry seasoning, grill seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, salt/pepper, lemon pepper. Combine as much as you like, toss chicken around, and stick in fridge for about 20 minutes (longer if you can). Grill on a George Foreman or cook in skillet.
Roasted Potatos, Peppers and Onions
8 small golden potatoes
2 small red onions
2 small green peppers
Salt and pepper
Lemon pepper
Seasoning Salt
2 tbsp. EVOO
Dice up potatos, julienne the pepper and cut the onions into quarters and toss with all remaining ingredients. Spread evenly on a sheet pan and cook at 450 for 35-45 minutes, depending on your liking of doneness. Especially yummy when mixed with some balsamic too.
Bon appetit!
