Yummy recipe!

  • Hey everyone! I just made the veggie lasagne from the Week 9 recipe card! It is delicious! I used fat-free cheese instead of the lowfat cheese it called for, so maybe it was a little lower in points. Also, I used a lot of broccoli and mushrooms. Has anyone else tried this?

    This is the only recipe I've made fromt hose little cards. Have any of you made anythign that was extremely good or extremely terrible from these cards? I don't often get to cook, so I wanna make sure that when I do, I'm pleased with the recipe!

    Thanks!
  • Yes, the lasagna is good. I also liked the Eggplant Parmesan, surprisingly low in points. The sesame green beans are great, too.
  • Do you know what week the Eggplant Parmesan recipe is given? I don't remember seeing that one, and it sounds great!
  • Since. I am on maintanance, could you possibly post the recipe? Don't remember seeing it. Thanks!! We don't get the same materials you guys get-unfortunately.
  • sure! I'll get it on the thread in the next few days!
  • Thanks!! Really appreciate it.

  • I live in Canada and have NEVER found fat free Rictotta cheese. I have found the light version, but have never made the recipe because I never knew what the accurate count would be... If I used ricotta LIGHT instead of ff how many points do you think it would be per serving?

    Thank you!

    I also made the veggie lasagna this week. I make it about every 3 weeks & also use broccoli, mushrooms and some sweet red pepper. Another recipe from the cards I like is the "Cheesey Chicken Casserole" make with low fat cream soup. Recipe calls for cream of mushroom, but for the kids I have been using 1 can of cream of chicken & 1 can of cream of celery. This recipe is a big hit with my teenage daughter & her friends.

    Also the angel food/pineapple cake is great.

    Hope this helps - bye for now.
  • Angie~If you get me the nutritional info on the low-fat ricotta cheese, I'll try to get the point tally for ya!

    Bandit~ I've only made the lasagna, but I'll try the others you mentioned. Thanks for suggesting the other recipes!
  • Kira, that would be great!! I will pick up some tonight! THANK YOU!
