  1. Ellie, this was so good, although I did make a few changes. I used daylily flowers, which are a little smaller than squash blossoms. I didn't have enough swiss cheese, so use about half cheddar. I loved the spices! This was great with a mild salsa. Thanks Ellie!

<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>
