    That looks yummy. I think I'll try it with low fat ingredients.

    Tonja, that would definitely work. We will often use the reduced fat cream cheese, mayo and sour cream.

    Oh that looks so good. Never had it..something new to try. Is seafood sauce like cocktail sauce, that you dip shrimp in for shrimp cocktail?

    ...sorry, I forgot to add that we also often use the partly skim milk mozzarella.
    Really, I personally notice no difference in taste when using the low fat alternatives.
