Adapted from a recipe posted by Gill Murray on alt.food.diabetic

This recipe is very flexible. I added the carrots and broccoli because I had them on hand. Other shredded vegetables could be added or substituted as your pantry provides. Egg whites would bring down the saturated fat and cholesterol if needed. Whole wheat flour work instead of the low carb baking mix if you can handle a few extra carbs in your meal plan.

I served these with smoked pork loin and some homemade tart apple compote.
