Ingredients; 1 3/4 cup (one can) low fat/low sodium chicken broth 1 cup jasmine rice handful(about 1 cup) chopped broccoli handful (about 1 cup) fresh spinach 4-6 egg whites 1 egg yolk tortillas ground pepper salt to taste Directons; Prepare rice per instructions, but use the broth instead of water. Makes about 3 cups cooked rice. steam broccoli to precook till just tender sautee broccoli in olive oil till heated through, add spinach till wilted, add eggs, pepper, salt scramble all together till egg is cooked, add rice and sautee a couple of minutes till mixed through. Tada! I ate half of this, then the other half I made about six tortilla rollups and ate them cold for a couple of meals. I just made this out of what was laying around, but I would probably like mushrooms and maybe some chicken in it too. Jim

With the FT free version you'd have to enter each ingredient seperately and then add it all up. Then divide the total by the number of servings you made. One of the reasons I upgraded to FT-Pro was for the customized nutrion tracker, it is much easier to use and you can save what you calculate as a recipe for future reference, but the free version works fine. -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
