Thank you so much for this delicious recipe! Made this last night and the whole family (including fussy teenage daughter and 6 year old son) loved it. Just the right amount of heat not to put off the younger ones. We are new to this LCHF malarkey and recipes like this make it so much easier to transition to a different way of eating. Can’t wait to try more! 🙂
