As you can probably tell 1/4 of this recipe makes a very big portion.  I would recommend cutting it into 8 servings.  The Weight Watcher points for this at 1/4 serving are very high at 26 points but at 1/8 serving it would be 13 points and thats a pretty good dinner.  This was my first time making this recipe and everyone in my family loved it.  Next time I make it I'm going to look for ways to cut the points some, so if you have any ideas let me know.
