Italian Recipes (Most Popular)
Light on the sauce that most italian dishes are so it doesn't over power the shrimp. Little coconut oil is used and while it is a saturated fat it has long chain and is much more like a monounsaturated fat. It also can withstand the heat from sautéing which is why I use it rather than olive oil. To lower the sodium content of this dish use fresh tomatoes and basil.
I make this sauce with turkey sausage and buffalo meat but you can change the type of sausage or buffalo to hamburger to suit your taste or the availability. I use grass fed, organic meat.
My husband is a Brit, he throws strange things into my recipes such as carrots and apples. These are optional and still remain a household contention item.

Substitute some of the beef for turkey, whole wheat pasta and whole milk cheese for part skim and lower the calories & fat without losing the taste!
This receipe is quick, easy and not too bad in calories. We choose pepperoni, but you can really get creative with it. We are going to use ours as a lunch during the week. Spices up the old everyday lunchmeat sandwich. Adding veggies will make it quite hearty.
Easy Meatballs. You can easily use turkey sausage or fat free milk to make healthier.
