Hello! I am soooo excited because today is my second day on LDL. I would like to know if I can substitute low fat or fat free ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese when I make Brando's Lasagna.
Also, I made Ron's Awesome Chili this morning for today's lunch, and it was delicious!

Hi Jerzygrl09! The recipe was from the LDL recipe cards. Here it is:
Ron's Awesome Chili
3/4 lb. ground turkey (white meat skinless)
1/4 lb. lean ground beef or sirloin
1 cup fresh chopped celery
1/2 cup fresh chopped green pepper
1 chopped onion
1-16 oz. kidney beans (Bush's)
1-15 oz. chili hot beans (Bush's)
2-28 oz. cans whole tomatoes, cut up
2 T chili powder
1tsp. salt
1 bay leaf
Brown meat and onions. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer, covered, three hours.
~ I didn't add the kidney beans. Instead, I used 2 cans of the chili beans. I couldn't find hot ones, so I used mild. Also, I used crushed tomatoes instead of whole.
Enjoy!
