with that Stu and I try to make them as
2:52
tasty but a lighter version you know I'm

gonna use some fat-free half-and-half
2:57
okay there's too much butter yeah I mean
3:00
you know how do you lighten up a grit
3:02
well I think it's what we add to it my
3:05
thing is keep the flavor but cut out as
3:07
much fat as possible well I've saved a
3:09
little fat right if you can and you know
3:11
what Lela I have found that if you make
3:14
enough small changes they can make big
3:16
differences I've been trying to say that
3:19
for a long time and I'm glad that you're
3:21
doing that because trust me I'm not
3:22
missing any meals and I'm not missing
3:24
