           Janice Baker, RD, CDE

Now that we've all cut back on eating out, cooking more at home, it's easier to have control over the amount of calories we take in.  It might be easy to pop a frozen lasagna into the oven, but those factory-made meals are usually loaded with fat, and, of course with, sodium. 

So, San Diego Alive has enlisted one of the regular contributors, Janice Baker, a registered dietitian and diabetes educator, to help trim the fat off some common recipes.  Baker shows us a quick, healthful way to make a family-sized portion of lasagna and how to make a couple tasty, low-calorie salad dressings.  She found her recipes at the  website ALLRECIPES, as submitted by Sarah Anderson, but Janice Baker made many low-fat substitutions, including Tofurkey, for the breakfast sausage.  The Simple Sicilian salad dressing was submitted by Andrea Rundle.  Baker's own site is http://www.BakerNutrition.com

Enjoy !
