Introduction
I adapted this recipe from a South Beach diet version. In cutting the recipe in half, I forgot to half the almonds. I really liked the very nutty taste, but you can use half my amount to keep the proportions the same. The South Beach recipe also contains Parmesan cheese (2Tb) which I left out due to a problem with dairy. I adapted this recipe from a South Beach diet version.
