 Hi Friends


It's raining in Northern California and I'm enjoying every drop of it. 



Whenever it rains my homemaking skills come to the surface and I enjoy cooking warm, hearty, heart healthy meals for my love ones. 



Last night I was feeling super adventurous, ready to try a new recipe that challenged my skills thus far. 

I decided to tackle Low-fat stuffed shells & cheese. 


I couldn't believe I was able to pull of the recipe, it was time consuming, at some points difficult to follow, especially since I've never had Stuffed Shells or seen it made. 

With the help of my boyfriend and his mother I successfully conquered the recipe. 



Check it out: 
Cheesy Stuffed Shells
Serves 10 (serving size 3 shells)











**THIS RECIPE DOES NOT TASTE LOW-FAT

8oz (about 2 cups) part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 teaspoon freshly grounded pepper

I found this recipe in 
I never thought I would be the kind of woman to buy cooking magazines at the grocery store. While everyone else is reading the headlines of People and Us weekly, I thumbing through cooking magazines looking for inspiration for my next healthy edible work of art to share with all of you.

 
Have a great Tuesday Friends
