Thanks for the info and the help. I will definatly have to try this one. Looks great! But for the days I just dont want to go to the trouble, I know which kind to buy now. Still fairly new to this point thing, so thanks for the help!! Cathy
oh you mean actually "cook" something, not me thanks. But you could buy these and figure out what is in them. They are full sized and only two points, kinda like the tamales DH found, they come in 2,3, and 4 point versions and are huge, Lee loving WW dcsena <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > LOL Yes that is the easiest way. But occasionally I like to make my own.
