Designed for Atkins, but it can be modified for other diets. This is a huge hit with my friends and family.
Sounds delish! I can't wait to try it!!!!

just on a side note though, i wonder what size serving the nutrition facts are based on since 5.54 carbs seems high. none of the ingredients aside from the green beans have carbs in them??
