Lean Turkey Sausage and Spinach Ravioli We love ravioli with a light tomato sauce, but store-bought versions had several problems. Light ravioli were hard to find, and when we did find them they were more often than not in the freezer section. Fresh versions were good but we found them to be quite expensive and not […]

Scalloped au gratin potatoes are a great side dish on your Easter table. Before our weight loss we made these with no thought to the kind of potatoes we were using or the cheese or the milk. This recipe pays homage to the Yukon Gold potato and swaps out fat-free half & half for whole […]
