Jen, could this be the one you're looking for? They're from April 1999. I assume they were the cover recipe, because they appear on the cover of the CL Recipes 2000 book. (I didn't subscribe until Sept 1999.) I don't know if the nutritional info is correct, my version of Mastercook seems to mess it up when I copy & paste recipes.
