The first time I ever had these were at the Cheesecake Factory in Boca Raton Florida. It was my favorite thing on the menu and to this day, we have ordered them in every Cheesecake Factory across the country!

I loved the crispy task of the Boston Lettuce also called butter lettuce which holds the filling perfectly. Today I made these at home because it cuts the carb and is super healthy to get your fiber. With my husband's diabetes, I’m always creating meals that cut carbs and make it as flavorful as possible because then he won’t eat it.

I have noticed that people with diabetes tastebud must be enhanced compared to non-diabetics. For one, they crave sugar, it’s like they are craving everything in the world when their sugar is off. So making a healthy tasty meal is important for us.
Let me show you how to make my version of the Cheesecake Factory that will take you no time to make with a little Thai seasoning to spice it up.
