  1. I reduced the recipe to make 2 generous servings. I prepared it last night, covered, put in the fridge and then allowed it to come to room temperature this morning. It made a nice breakfast and would be great when you have guests to mix up and pop into the oven for breakfast.

<p>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!</p>
