HELP NEEDED (FROM LISA)!
Hi, Lisa here!I’m gathering info on a topic that’s super interesting & important to me. And since I consider you all my friends, I wanted to ask for your thoughts! It would mean so much to me if you’d take a few minutes to answer some questions. As a thank you, I’ll be giving out a slew of prizes at random: signed Hungry Girl cookbooks & magazines, limited-edition Hungry Girl swag, and more. It really would mean the world to me, so thank you so much in advance…❤️

Ingredients:
3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup (about 2 large) egg whites or liquid egg substitute
1 tbsp. self-rising flour
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 tbsp. marinara sauce with 70 calories or less per 1/2-cup serving
3 tbsp. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (or more if you like!)
Optional toppings: fresh herbs, turkey pepperoni, veggies
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. (You can skip this step if you don’t mind the curds; just drain it first.)
Transfer blended cottage cheese to a medium bowl. Add egg whites/substitute, flour, and seasonings. Mix well.
Spread mixture into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick and 10 inches in diameter, on the baking sheet.
Bake until firm and golden brown, 30–35 minutes.
Top with sauce (leaving a 1/4” border) and cheese.
Bake until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.

Must-Have Kitchen Staple
Extra-Strong Parchment Paper
This isn't the historical document kind of parchment—this is oil-free, BPA-free, unbleached food-grade parchment designed to keep food from sticking. (Essential for today's recipe, FYI.) The 9" X 13" sheets are perfectly flat, so you don't waste time ripping pieces from a roll and fighting curled edges. They’re heat resistant up to 450°F, waterproof, and resistant to tearing. This is the kind of kitchen helper that makes us want to cook all the time!Chew on this:
March is National Flour Month. Just because a recipe is made with flour doesn't mean it's super high in calories! Not to brag, but we've perfected the balance in our recipes...
