Halved the recipe, used veggie sausage(chorizo type) and forgot the peas too, but added in lima beans at the end. Much enjoyed and will also take this to a potluck at our church. Thanks! Made for Rookie tag.

I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!
