  1. Hey Isabelle, this recipe sounds really nice, and I can't wait to make it!

    Just one thing, small thing - as someone who moonlights in a kitchenware store, maybe specify that people use a fresh oil spray rather than a can of spray oil with the non-stick frypan. Those aerosol oils have sugar particles which a)aren't so great for Weight Watchers but b)totally destroy all non-stick and void people's warranties!
