WEIGHT WATCHERS BROCCOLI WITH CHEESE SAUCE

Weight Watchers Broccoli With Cheese Sauce image

I like to find different ways to make broccoli and especially those ways that are good for you. The recipe is 2 points per serving for a total of 4 servings. This recipe is very cheesy. If you like your vegetables more in the natural state, add more broccoli. This could affect the points values, though.
