This has a really fresh flavor. I enjoyed it. Seemed like a lot more than 4 servings to me.

I live in Western Michigan with my dh & two greyhounds. I have been fat the majority of my life. I joined WW on 3/16/01 and have lost over 100 pounds. (Still working on that goal...) I enjoy finding WW friendly dishes - with lots of volume! I am a recipe-aholic, I have TONS of books, print-outs, magazine articles, etc. lining the top of the refrigerator, bookshelf and a special box cluttering my office.
