I just received this recipe in a newsletter. It sounded so good (yes, even
at 6:30 AM !!). I have been looking for sauces for veges.

I decided to share it, even though I don’t have the nutritional break down.

I had to Google the word "flex points". Turns out to be a Weight Watchers

Anyway, here is the recipe, and I would appreciate anyone who knows how to
calculate carbs, to let me know the carbs in this recipe. TY—–Cece
