This is another one that you can mix and match veggies and protein. The tomato cream sauce is pretty basic- tomatoes and cream cheese. I chose to use the 1/3 less fat cream cheese and the extra flavor from the fire roasted tomatoes brings this meal to a whole other level.
The leftovers are in the fridge now and it’s taking everything I have not to go eat them for breakfast.
