The splenda was a wonderful change...exactly what I was looking for!

I used Splenda to reduce the carbs a bit and calculated the nutrition profile. This makes the recipe more diabetic-friendly. [I made edits to this recipe.]

I added a few chopped tomatoes to round out the flavors. Everyone went back for second helpings.
