Make Ahead
"DLQ" (delish, low-cal and quick)Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
- Serves 3
Author Notes
As I got older, trying to create low-fat recipes that didn't taste like cardboard(!) became an obsession. Menopause and a bad economy only added to the need to be creative and economical. So, I drew on my Italian heritage,and now, this dish is what all of us weight watchers (and surprisingly, the kids, too) eat (with reckless abandon) when we have family gatherings. It's quick and can be whipped up, frozen and reheated...versatility and healthy...Phew!...it's great when these two come together. Enjoy. —DLee
