We see some new faces here! Let us re-introduce ourselves. We're Jess and Jen, co-owners of Sauce, and here's our story. What are YOUR favorite comfort foods that you'd like to see made healthier?

For 1000's of years, Ayurvedic doctors used eggplant to treat diabetes. It contains polyphenols, which studies show may help process sugar.

We ❤️ it because it's hearty & delicious. At 25 calories & <1 gram of fat per serving, eggplant is packed w potassium & fiber. So eat up!

Whole foods, real ingredients, none of the guilt. Comfort food CAN be healthy when you put a little Sauce on it. https://t.co/NjPxhHcuGs
