Introduction

Easy, low cal and filling! I think the sodium is much lower, but this is the best I could do with the calculator. Salt the vegetables when you saute them and they will cook faster. I also sprinkle with sea salt when I serve. Easy, low cal and filling! I think the sodium is much lower, but this is the best I could do with the calculator.
