I made this the other day scaled down to one and a bit more healthy. I used skim milk mixed with a bit of cornstarch, low sodium borth, and imitation butter to try to make it a bit more figure friendly. I skipped the turnips since I didnt have any. Great way to use up some left over meat. I bet this would go great with chicken too!

<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>
