Sounds good except you might want to use regular dressing and full fat cheese instead of the light versions..my guess is that that light dressing might have more sugar than a regular one.

Youre right, I just tend to follow recipes the first time exactly as written and then I tweak them if I like the dish enough to make it again.........figured it was best to write it out as I know it....
