    1. This was so easy and so good! My husband asked why we weren’t eating keto!!! He was surprised that it was! Thank you.

    2. Yum scrum delicious!!! I was looking for something simple and keto friendly to make while my family had the big grander dinner. This dish was a big hit! Even the kids wanted seconds and thirds! Definitely a big win in our household and will go on repeat 🙂

    3. This was excellent but I think for an entire block of feta you need more than 2 cups of tomatoes. I used 2boxes/pints (?) of tomatoes to a block of feta and the ratio was off. It got too dry. I didn’t add chicken but it was even too dry for the NuPasta I tried for the first time.

      I’ll use more tomatoes next time, but this recipe is a keeper.
