Last night I had the pleasure of having my friend Julia over to show me some of her delicious recipes. Julia is an amazing Italian cook. She can make leather taste good if she had to cook it! Her secret is simple, she cooks with only quality ingredients, like Pecorino Romano, good extra virgin olive oil and fresh herbs are all subtle differences that make food go from good to great. She always has on hand, a can of her own homemade filetto di pomodoro sauce she makes from scratch in the summer when tomatoes are at their peak and jars them to use throughout the year.

I love having a glass of wine with dinner every now and then, but when I am watching my points, I make a Wine Spritzer instead. It cuts the points and carbs in half. I prefer Pinot Grigio or a Riesling, but you can also use a Rose, Merlot or Chardonnay instead
