This is a recipe I created because I am gluten free and was recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes. I have to watch my sugar and starch intake, yet was looking for an easy to make dinner that would still be delicious and satisfying. This recipe fits both of those bills, and I eat it at least twice a week and never get tired of it. It’s delicious and excellent for anyone following a low carb, keto, paleo, gluten free or any other health-conscious diet. I never feel deprived. Hope your readers and followers enjoy in good health!
