Thank you for the delicious recipe! I am a vegetarian and also on WW. I added some mushrooms and it was great. Good luck with your journey : )

That recipe is 6 points :) Enjoy! This with a nice salad would be a perfect combination

that recipe can't be 6 points. You dont count the zero point veggies. They are "free" in unlimited quantities (not all veggies..just the zero point ones and all of the above are) You only count per serving 1 c. brown rice and 1/2 T. olive oil.

If I am remembering correctly off the top of my head, rice is 4 points per cup and 1/2 tbsp of oil is 1 1/2 points , so if you round up it is 6 points per serving. 5 if you want to hide the 1/2 point.
