I had company this weekend, and served this one night with some tex-mex style shredded chicken wraps, chips, etc. The flavors were very nice, making for a nice change from tomato versions, however I must admit that I missed the tomatoes! ;) This was very tasty, the lime giving it a very nice zing. I also think this would be nice if you throw in some black beans as well! :D

<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>
