  4. A friend from work hooked me onto your site. I love it! It has helped me stay on track and reach my goal!:)I love having the points attached. It has become a way of life in my house. My kids will always ask "how many points mom" I have been able to cook healthier for my family without skimping on taste. I look forward to trying new meals and sharing with co workers who are also watching their weight as well. Thanks for making this an exciting adventure. Looking forward to trying some of the dishes for Thanksgiving.

  7. I just made this for tomorrow & it came out sooo delicious. I don't think I will ever make another kind of cranberry sauce. This was my first time cooking with agave. I added some spices too
    1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
    1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
