    Menu Help needed Now. Please.

     My SIL, is coming for both lunch and dinner in an hour. I just got back from grocery shopping and have lunch planned but still haven't decided what dinner should be. I wanted something in the crockpot and bought some smoked sausage. I have fresh green beans, red bell pepper, canned tomatoes, fresh sliced baby portobellos, onions, garlic, canned tomatoes, fresh corn on the cob, pita bread but no hoagie rolls. The reason I wanted a crockpot meal is my DD won't be done with work until 6:00  and I don't know if my SIL will want to eat and leave before DD gets home or if she will wait, then I have to pick up DD so dinner wouldn't be until at least 6:30 and I won't have time to tend to it last minute. 

    Does anyone have any ideas? I still have to make lunch and dessert so something easy would be great.

    For lunch I'm making some turkey wraps.

    Here's what I would do. Slice the sausage into 1/2" slices,snap the green beans,dice half the bell pepper,chop the mushrooms and take the kernels off the cob corn then chop 1/2 cup onion and mince 2 cloves garlic.Put it all in the crockpot along with a can of diced tomatoes.Cover with chicken broth ,cover and cook. Depo!!!

     Hugs to you Depo!!!! I'll do that. I'll serve it over rice or mashed potatoes.

     Depo, it was excellent, thank you! I added some salt, pepper and a bit of thyme and served it over rice. For those of us who like a little spice, I had hot sauce and cajun seasoning at the table.

    I wish I had written down the amounts of everything because I'd love to make it again. I guess I'll have to wing it again but measure everything. There is only one hearty portion left[:'(]
