It was delicious. I didn’t have spinach on hand and only added half the tomatoes. Very good. My 85- year old client loved it!

This looks great, but sadly high fiber items aren’t good for people with Diverticulitis, this is good for those with Diverticulosis. Those with Diverticulitis can from time to time have high fiber, but during flare ups they are told to stay away from this.
