The other day Paul and I decided to invite a few friends over after work on the 4th of July for some cookout fun. I get quite excited at the idea of gatherings and found myself running to the grocery store to get plenty of goodies. Before heading out I came across this recipe and knew I wanted to make it because 1) it had a patriotic theme and 2) it was bariatric friendly. I tried to think of a few things I could do to modify the desert and came up with this.
