Slim the cheese in a casserole
Lasagna and other cheesy bakes often call for ricotta – and your nana’s recipe probably calls for the full-fat kind! Switch to low fat and you’ll cut out 9 grams of saturated fat per serving. That’s a big help when you’re trying to stay under 16-grams per day for heart health. Ricotta or cottage cheese is OK, as long as it’s reduced fat. Low-fat ground turkey breast is a heart-wise switch for fatty ground beef.
