The hubby went in for a physical which included a fasting cholesterol test. The results were a bit high - 236. The problem isn't breakfast - he eats oatmeal with low fat vanilla soymilk and a bananna. Lunch is usually a spinach salad with a little bacon, a little blue cheese, sunflower seeds, carrots, celery, and low fat dressing.
I think the problem is dinner. On the weekends, I make soups in the crockpot and freeze them in individual portions so we can nuke them during the week. The problem is that my bean soup with ham and polska kielbasa isn't low cholesterol, neither is my cream-based potato soup, or my broccoli cheese soup, or my chili with bacon and steak. They are all comfort foods. We also have been known to have cheese and crackers for dinner and I know that the cheeses we eat aren't low in cholesterol.
Please give me some quick, easy ideas for low cholesterol dinners. Also, some tasty soups that are low cholesterol would be nice too. I want my hubby around for a long time.
