We fell in love with hearts of palm noodles ages ago, and the romance continues. This lasagna variety truly mimics the taste and texture of real pasta, and it works seamlessly in recipes like today’s! Palmini also makes its low-carb pasta swap in Linguine and Angel Hair shapes. They even make Rice and Mashed varieties! Just drain and rinse, then use them like cooked pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. They’re shelf stable, so stocking up on Amazon is just plain smart.



HG Correction: In last Friday’s daily email, we mistakenly listed the WW Points® value for our Mealtime Beef & Veggie Soup as 4*. The correct value on the latest WW plan is 0*. We apologize for this error.



Chew on this:

January 14th is National Hot Pastrami Day. FYI, Boar's Head makes Pastrami Seasoned Turkey Breast—stack some onto a thin sandwich roll and give it a whirl!

STOP! Before you move on to the next thing, send this low-carb lasagna recipe and tell them about hearts of palm pasta too!
