Nutrition tip
Most of the sauces at Italian restaurants are high in calories. Marinara is the only safe bet but it’s also kind of boring! 🙄 I say…get what the mood strikes for when you’re already making a healthy change like this!
SWEETPEA Nutriton Tip:
When you have a child who doesn’t eat vegetables, or enough variety here’s a place to hide them! Now….green zucchini can stick out like a sore thumb here but yellow squash will NOT. Hide this veggie in your kids favorite sauce and toss it well. They won’t know what hit them!
