 This is a recipe from Tosca Reno Author of the bestseller "The Eat Clean Diet Cookbook". This is one of my favorite go-to cookbooks when I want a great-tasting recipe that also keeps you lean. I made a batch and packed some goodie bags for my evening clients Lynn and Candy. They loved them and also purchased Tosca's book. Here is the recipe for you to enjoy!
