Not meaning to rain on your parade, Jackie, but you call this "light?" With two cups of cheese, pie pastry (usually laden with unnecessary fat), half and half cream and whole eggs? Wowsa, Girl, you must be seriously into working out!

Give this a try next time you're feeling in the mood to experiment? Leftover spaghetti or other pasta for the "crust," nutrtional yeast mixed with 2 cups zero-fat plain yogurt, egg whiles and of course all those great veg.
