Serving size question

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

I notice that alot of the recipes give the nutritional values per
serving but fail to give the serving size. Knowing the serving size
helps me decide if a recipe is worth saving and trying because I count
calories, carbs, fiber, sugar and fat grams so having that particular
information is necessary for me. Is it possible to have this
information included in the posts?

Thank You!

Jerked Veggie Burger - 22g Carbs, 5g Fiber

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

From The American Institute for Cancer Research AICR
Caribbean Cookout
With all the options for veggie burgers you see in the store, why
make one from scratch? Because you can give them the vibrant flavor
only fresh vegetables and seasonings can offer. Homemade burgers can
be seasoned to your taste. In this recipe, you have the mixture of
spices to create the heat of a Jamaican jerk sauce. For a truly
Caribbean-inspired burger, top it with some mango slices, hot pepper
sauce, slices of red onion and chopped fresh cilantro.

Jerked Veggie Burger

1 Tbsp canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and cut in 1/2-inch pieces
