Cals 90
pro 3 gms
fat 3 gms
carbs 18 gms
Doesn't give a fiber total.
Not,I use canned tomatoes and it cooks very quickly. I usually use tomato puree or something that is already pretty well cooked down.
It is quick and good. I often make a double recipe and freeze the extra. it defrosts quickly and well in the micro.
Good luck,
Holly

Cook some onions and garlic with crushed tomatoes. Add italian herb mix and maybe some capers and chopped olives.

Thank you soooo much for this post. I made both the sweet and savory ricotta recipes today and put them in a container in my refrigerator so that I can take some a little at a time.
The only difference was that I mixed the savory ricotta with an egg and baked it to let it set. (1C ricotta with 1 egg, plus seasonongs)
I just now finally took a little out, added a small amount of sauce and heated it in the microwave. I think it just saved my sanity!

Topic: 100 POUNDS with Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes!
Woo Hoo! I have lost 100 pounds, and I don't even have to look under the couch to try and find it! Its not hiding on my butt or been added to my hubby's butt! AWESOME! I am now the weight I was when I had my daughter 16 YEARS AGO! I want to celebrate but I'm not sure how, maybe some re-fried beans from taco bell or some sugar free treat from the store. I have not been feeling deprived since discovering those, oh and the sugar free peanut butter cups. My candy in my stocking lasted almost a month. Never had that happen before. I know I should celebrate getting new clothes but I just cant bring myself to do that when I am changing size so fast. Seems like a waste of money to me. Maybe a new bra, MINE DON'T FIT! HAHAH! I feel like I'm on drugs, I'm so happy. I think I will go wake my daughter up and force her to go out with me.
To celebrate here is a version on the Sugar Free Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes. The original recipe can be found on BTV.com and has sour cream in it. I gave up sour cream and replaced it with plain greek yogurt so I wanted to see how that worked with this recipe. IT WORKED GREAT! The entire family will love them.

Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes
1 box of Pillsbury Sugar Free Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 box of Jello SF FF Cheesecake Pudding Mix
3 eggs or ¾ cup eggbeaters
2 cups of fat free sour cream or greek yogurt
1/3 cup of vegetable oil or you can use applesauce
1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 350. Place paper liners in cupcake tins (this recipe makes 24 regular-sized cupcakes - I made some mini ones as well). Divide batter among the liners and bake for 15 minutes (slightly less for minis).
I used the eggbeaters, greek yogurt and applesauce and upped the water to 1 cup. It still makes a very thick cake batter. I made 80 mini cupcakes with 1 tablespoon of batter in each cup. I still needed 14 minutes to cook them.
I iced mine with the Pillsbury Sugar Free Chocolate Icing in the can.

Topic: RE: Beef Stew and Noodle Slow Cooker Meal
This sounds caloric to me. All the cream and gravy. Does this settle ok in your stomach? How much to you eat. Will this meal be enough for 4 people?
