A Healthy Ah-ha

Tonight we had taco night and we had an ah-ha. I usually love sour cream but hate the calories associated with it. If you've been following along, you know that my recipes for lasagna and enchiladas replace sour cream and ricotta cheese with cream cheese (AHH cream cheese is not healthier!) COTTAGE CHEESE (if you haven't tried it, try it already...it's great, guilt free, and people don't even notice if I don't tell them).

Anyways...Ah-ha= sour cream replacement for taco night is to use original non-fat yogurt. I was hesitant but thanks to my little sister T-Bone and her "Phan"tastic friend we tried it and it was yummy, guilt free, and we didn't even notice.

 

There's even a chart of things you can substitute yogurt with.
