I started Weight Watchers today. So far, so good. I even exercised a little bit.
But enough about me.
Here is tonight's recipe:

For a different flair, substitute dry
white wine for the chicken broth, then sprinkle on a few spoonfuls of
chopped sun-dried tomatoes with the mushrooms.

3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

I think it looks very tasty and not at all diet-y. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I'll be serving it with cut green beans (you've gotta love Green Giant). Veggies (and most fruit, too) are pretty much all 0 points.
I don't really have anything to bring for dessert. (I have WW ice cream treats and wine for when I get home.) There may be some pudding left; I have some graham crackers; and there are mini marshmallows where I'm going. There may be some kind of S'Mores creation to be had. We'll see.
all in all, I wish you
happy cooking
