2 cups diced onions
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups diced zucchini
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt

Two 14-ounce cans low sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/2 cup mini Farfalle pasta - optional
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh, chopped basil
In a saucepan or stockpot heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage, onion, and garlic. Cook, breaking up with spoon, until sausage is browned and onions are softened. Add zucchini, dried basil, oregano, pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Add spinach and pasta, if using, and continue to cook until pasta is done, about 7 minutes.
Meanwhile in a small bowl stir the fresh, chopped basil into the ricotta cheese. When soup is finished, ladle into shallow bowls. Carefully add 1/4 cup (1/8 cup for WLS serving) of the ricotta-basil mixture to the bowl. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Makes 8 regular or 16 WLS servings.

Sugar Free Peanut Butter
1 cup Peanut Butter
1 large egg
1 cup Nature Sweet Crystals (see note)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Cup California blanched almond flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together peanut butter, egg, nature sweet crystals, salt and almond flour until well blended. Scoop mixture by tablespoon and roll into balls. Arrange on two ungreased cookie sheets allowing 1 inch for dough to spread slightly as it bakes. Press down with a fork to flatten, first in one direction and then another.
bake for 10-12 minutes, until just slightly firm when touched with fingertip. Allow to cool for 4-5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
****Note**** You can not substitute Spenda for the Nature Sweet Crystals in this recipe as the properties of these sweenteners are completely different. Nature Sweet is made from corn, it doesn't raise your blood sugar as it's not digested and is moved through our body similar to fiber.
*** These were my mom's favorties too*** when I would make these she would ooh and ahhh...
I sure do miss her at this time of year. and Dad too. He loved the chocolate chip cookies, I would make.
