DS (15 months old) and I ate this for dinner last night along with some grilled zucchini. I used fewer peppers and onions than it called for and counted as 1P 1V and added a second V with my zucchini.

I also substituted no salt tomato sauce and added garlic and onion powder, basil and oregano for the no salt spaghetti sauce. It was yummy!

Thanks Deb!

This sounds very yummy!!:D

That does sound good! Could you use LEAN ground beef instead?

You could use the beef, but since the LAWL plan discourages using beef too often, it's just easier to use the ground turkey...

Now where can I get no salt tomato/spaghetti sauce???

Dan- Check at a local health food store. The one I get is by Walnut Acres. It's an organic pasta sauce. The label says low sodium, fat free, tomato and basil pasta sauce. I just add a little bit of mortons lite salt to it and it is premo yummy.
