Introduction
I modified recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AJTURLEY77 choice of comfort food. I changed it to fit my family size & dietary preferences. I also don't have Cajun spice on hand, & used what was in my pantry. I served it with recipe for Baked Cheesy Cauliflower. I put the Cauliflower in the oven to bake while I prepared this dish. South Beach friendly; Low Sodium, Low Fat. [I calculated the broth as water as mine is salt free.] I modified recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AJTURLEY77 choice of comfort food.
