  3. What is the nutritional value? Couldn’t find it. I would like to make it weight watchers friendly if I can.

  4. Anna,

    I needed to let you know that your recipe was amazing. My husband is currently at goal for Weight Watchers (he lost 50 pounds this last year) and he needs a large amount of quality healthy food. I actually used non fat greek yogurt and non fat feta for the recipe and my husband said not to change anything.

    Thank you for cleaning up the recipe and reducing the fat, you don’t need much to make a delicious meal.

    • Oh Linda! What a joy to read your comment! Thank you! I know how difficult it is to find a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to prepare. Congrats to your Hubby! 50 pounds – WOW! Maybe you will find other recipes on my blog that will work for both of you!
