This was great for breakfast, served it with Strawberries. I cut the recipe in half for the 2 of us, made it using splenda instead of sugar, but sprinkled a small amount of sugar on the top. This would be delicious for a brunch. Thank you Ellie, I will be making this again & again.

<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>
