Portobello Steak Dinner
Very Good 4.7/5

This is the most delicious recipe I have tried lately....I am not a fan of portobello mushrooms BUT I cannot get enough of this. The nutritional facts are based on 4 servings and all the fat comes from the olive oil so at least it is good fat! I promise you will LOVE this dish !

Vegetarian Spinach Lasagna
Very Good 4.6/5

This recipe has been healthy-fied from an older version that I've had for years. I've thrown the old less healthy version out the door!! WooHoo!

The wheat germ absorbes moisture so the sauce won't run right out when cutting. It also provides fiber. If you do not have wheat germ handy just replace it with one large egg.

Also, use whatever veggies you have on hand! This recipe will also be great with eggplant, zucchini, carrots, etc.

Enjoy! *Also freezes great (think convenience!)

Saco buttermilk powdered blend is lowfat and low cholesterol. If you like you can use egg substitute or just egg whites by beating egg whites til stiff than folding into batter. I like to use cold pressed or expeller pressed coconut oil because it is a medium-chain fatty acid that supports healthy metabolism. You can substitute shortening.
