I’ve recently been on the prowl for some good low-carb recipes, as I like to balance out my pasta dishes. To get some good ones, I turn to the South Beach Diet Cookbook which never lets me down!
I’m utterly exhausted after this weekend. Before trudging to Whole Foods to get groceries for the week, I found this recipe that seemed low maintenance…perfect for my tired state. Fast, super healthy, and happy to report, really delicious! Definitely a good recipe to add to the rotation. Enjoy!

Directions:
