  1. I’m looking at your meat casserole dishes, and the points that you have are these points before they changed ground meat, roast, etc. to zero points………… I like a lot of your recipes and I have tried them. I am going to try the lasagna using zucchini strips. Thank you very much for all your recipes. I appreciate that seasoning in it that you can use at different times and not funky seasoning that you use once and that’s it.
