What is "Healthified"?

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Substitution

We like the bright color of the red bell pepper, but you could use green bell pepper instead. If you have fresh chives, go ahead and substitute them for the green onions that are sprinkled on top.

Did You Know?

Parmesan cheese adds a nice punch of flavor to this recipe without adding lots of fat and calories.
