Introduction

While still somewhat high in calories, this recipe offers less calories than a full calories version. It also offers more fiber to keep you full. You can also sneak in extra veggies to add more fiber and minimal calories - broccoli, articokes, or spinach is a great choice for this recipe. Sour cream lends creaminess without adding more cheese or ricota (which is not lactose free). While still somewhat high in calories, this recipe offers less calories than a full calories version.
