A note about recipes

Nearly everything I serve at home is home made. Nearly everything I eat at lunch is also home made. All of my recipes have been adjusted so they are low fat, or focus on healthy fat. In short, what sounds decadent (like last night’s lasagna) isn’t necessarily what it seems. My lasagna, for example, is made with tofu and lowfat cottage cheese instead of ricotta. A small amount of shredded 5 cheese blend is added for flavor. To give it “meatiness” I finely chop up a few turkey meatballs or maybe turkey Italian sausage in the food processor. This ensures the meat flavor is spread through the lasagna. And it’s a heck of a lot healthier than anything you can buy!
