I found this recipe from one of my magazine subscriptions and thought it looked tasty, and my husband would surely enjoy it for a light lunch. Sometimes you need to cut back on indulging a little bit, and this is a great recipe for when you want a low fat meal but don’t want to compromise on flavor. You can accompany it with some whole grain pasta, or with a green salad. Remember foodies, we have to take care of ourselves so we can continue indulging on the other stuff from time to time!
