I never met a carb I didn’t like—but despite my love of bread, pasta, and potatoes, Mike and I really do try to watch our carb intake. We found this recipe when the South Beach Diet first became popular, and we were eating very low carb. With recipes like this, you won’t feel like you’re on a diet or missing a thing. It’s healthy and delicious, and like most of the recipes that I love, quick and easy.
