Hi Kitchenslave03! I found this in CL too, and I liked it a lot, and was going to post too. I did find the sauce delish, but a little thin, so the next time I added about 1/2 cup cream at the end (you could easily use fat free 1/2 and 1/2 to keep this low cal). And I added about 1/3 cup golden raisins about 45 mins into the simmering. To add to the "heat" I used red pepper flakes instead of the ground red pepper. This all made it a bit more rich and spicy. Next time I would double the sauce too, so I'll have lots left over to use on a grilled chicken breast the next day for lunch!

I am a former retail management slave who is now a stay at home mom who absolutely loves her job. I have an eight year old, a two year old and a nine month old who all bring their own kind of joy to my life. My favorite thing in the world is to cook. We have a real, from scratch family dinner almost every night. Please don't be offended if I somewhat change a recipe in my review. I look at recipes sort of as guidelines, and alter them according to inspiration. I've received alot of helpful advice from reviews, that's why I share what I've done differently. With my little ones I'm pretty busy, but I LOVE this site and plan on being even more active as they get older.
