I came across this recipe, and decided to give it a shot since I did have most everything in the ingredients list (and I added some things to it too lol!). I doubled the batch (though the recipe below will not reflect that, it will only reflect a single batch, just fyi). Let me just say.. I'm glad I doubled it! I had no idea how big a hit this dish would be for my family! My Little Man asked for seconds (which is a rarity!), and my hubby went back for 3rds, and took a bowl full to work for lunch the next morning!
So, be prepared... this is a yummy one! LOL!

I know this one is pretty high in fat and protein, but I noticed very little affect on my Little Man's sugars, and it was such a yummy dish.. I just had to share!
Please remember though, just because a particular recipe doesn't seem to have an affect on my son's sugar levels, doesn't mean they wont for your child. Every child is different.
Enjoy!
