Rep Power: 74 | | | Hello Maleficent,
That sound really great! I do love my veggies and cheese in any form. So could you tell me how to figure out how many calories are in recipes I create. For example the other day I made a veggie chowder.
I used chic broth to cook potato.
Then I added canned whole corn, can of cream corn. I was thinking the cream corn would make it creamy without having to use a lot of light cream or milk.
I also added broc and cauliflower and mushrooms. I did put in about 1 cup of light cream. In the future I will use milk instead. Just wanted to use the cream up. I also thickened it with a little flour.
I know that common since is to take all the ingred and figure out the calories. Then add them up. But how do I figure what is a serving size and how many(calories) it will have in it. Am I on the right track or am I thinking way to much about it? Thanks Tina
