Love this,  made it 3 times already as double batches to take to potlucks. Well received.

I think I have overlooked this recipe    Just thought I would add though that when I copied it into my recipe program it came up with 13.89 net carbs for the recipe.  Not too much of a difference but a good example of where carbs can sneak in and add up when you aren't looking 

I think the mis-count is with the zucchini, garlic, and cumin.   

Sounds delicious...I plan to make it soon

Hi, Shawn!

Halloween is the kick off of the "Sugar Season".
Between then and New Year's day, are the most challenging times.
Most people gain more weight that time of year than any other.

But with FTS alternatives, it will make the holiday season MUCH healthier!
Here's to a healthy 2013 holiday season for our entire FTS family!
