MAKE A FAMILY MEAL:

  • For the weight-loss plan, you can top with a little Greek yogurt and diced green onions if desired to stay in E mode. Pair with a side salad with an E-friendly dressing and you have a great meal.
  • Growing children or others at Crossover stage can enjoy this topped with sour cream and plenty of grated cheese or sliced avocado as toppings.

NOTE: If you are a purist like Serene or are dairy-free and don’t want to use Laughing Cow Light cheese, you can sub in her Hello Cheese recipe, which can be found free on our website or in Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook.
