"I saw this made on a recent "Good Morning America" and was so intrigued I went out and bought the cookbook where it came from "Taste of Home's Comfort Food Diet Cookbook". I whipped this up the other night, and it sure hit the spot on a cold winter evening. It is the ultimate comfort food, rich and creamy and hearty, you'd never guess it was lower in fat! WW=7 points.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite. Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
