Zero Point Marinara
One of my most useful dishes is my homemade tomato sauce. It's an amazing replacement for sauce on pizza, in pasta or as a dipping sauce! Why do I love it so much? It tastes fantastic and is zero points. It's the best way to reduce your daily points while still enjoying all the foods you love.
