I love cooking light, I get there magazine each month although I also alter a lot of the ingredients. There website is pretty great too.

So I made this recipe tonight, and noticed I didn't have to add the 1/2 cup of chicken broth as the shrimp made quite a bit of it's own liquid, also I used a 6 oz container of cream cheese. This was so delicious, and not to expensive either the total was $27.50 would have been cheaper if I had made my own sun-dried tomatoes. But since even my 9 year old enjoyed it -even the tomatoes I think it was worth every cent. We will be making this again for sure. Thanks for sharing.

I have everything I need to make this now, I just decided instead of the wilted spinach to throw it all together with some light pasta, maybe spelt pasta.
