YES! I have all the ingrediants and I am going to try this tomorrow! Have you tried it? Do you think it needs anything else? seems more italian then mediterranean, thats why I ask.... I am going to try new recipes everyweek, and will share what I try, if I remember to post THANKS for the recipe!

Yes, I did try it today and it is REALLY GOOD! I agree with more italian than mediterranean.... but it wasn't over powering in my opinion. My husband is trying it with rice when he gets home from work tonight. Rice doesn't set well on my pouch. I liked the fact it was soo easy to make! I'll post more recipes after I try them. I don't want to post anything that isn't good! haha! The recipe came from "Bariatric Innovations" Author: Dawn Boxell, R.D. Bariatric Dietitian.

OK.... you got me too. I'm pre-op, but this sounds wonderful, we're supposed to have low 70's as our high temps this weekend. I have a small, very lean pork loin roast on hand, so I think I'll cut it up to use it. (I have chicken in the freezer for after surgery broth and I don't want to go shopping). Love slow cooker recipes... into the pot and walk away.
