What Tastes Like Pizza but is Dietetic?

Mary Ann Black, one of our clients at the Before and After Weight Loss Clinic in St. Lucie County, Florida, is a fabulous cook and when I met her I immediately liked her. But the real bond has come in sharing our love of cooking and discovering that she used to be a weight loss counselor, too, with a passion for helping people lose weight! So I have invited her to help me with these blogs and our soon-to-be "Lunch with Lee" web site!

Recently, Mary Ann brought us the most wonderful pizza squares that she invented, so I want to share that with you first! They are ON THE DIET! Mary Ann has lost 25 lbs. with our program( I think that is right--I will change the figure tomorrow if I am wrong) and is now on our maintenance program. Way to go! Keep the recipes coming!

Top the meat/cheese layers with the Roasted Red Peppers

Mix the Eggs or Egg Beaters together with the grated Parmesan cheese and pour about 3/4 over the Roasted Red Peppers
