Day191 - Get your hands off my damn shells.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008: My Kitchen: Makeover Cheese Stuffed Shells

Here is the first recipe I made from the Healthy Living Mag-o-zine: Stuffed Shells.

This was from makeover section, where they take foods that are really bad for you and re-engineer them to be more heart and body friendly. They say that they knocked off 948 calories to bring it down to 318 for two shells. I ate four - but still, not bad for a dinner.

There is still plenty of cheese. In fact, they sub'd cottage cheese for some of the ricotta. My mom did this with her lazagna when we were kids - and I love this recipe more because of that.

Another weird curveball to the recipe: cinnamon added to the ground beef. That was crazy and wonderful. It was still plenty cheesy even for some light.

Half of the mixture is in the freezer waiting for a cold fall day - making these in the summer kind of sucks. One more thing to look forward to in the fall.

Troy's mom gave me a huge pile of magazine like all women do, and these two are my favorite by far.

Healthy Cooking. I made Troy sit down and pick out all of the stuff he thought he would eat. This was the result. Many flags! We have big plans. So, surprise! Expect some cooking coming up.
