    Hi, I'm not a fan of mushrooms and had put sautéed broccoli instead but I know they're not comparable in fat, protein, and carb count. What's a good mushroom substitute or should I leave out a sub altogether?

    Hi, Erinn! You could certainly just omit the mushrooms, or you could try something like chopped eggplant or squash. (Not sure how those would taste!) Some people enjoy adding spinach also.

    Hi, Darla! We haven't tried that, but I bet it would work just fine!

    Hi,
    I've been bookmarking a bunch of your recipes to try, but I can't find where it says if the carb count listed is for the entire dish or for one serving. If it's for one serving, I don't see the typical summary at the bottom listing the stats per serving. All I see at the top of the recipe is where you have the premium subscriber option to change the serving size. I'm male and a rehabilitating weightlifter, so satiety is important to me with so many recipes with dainty food portions...
    Thanks in advance for any

    I'm about to try this recipe but I'm curious why so many recipes use cheddar cheese? as a far as cheeses go it's great in flavour but when melted it releases a lot of oil into the food, it's not the best cheese for just melting. mozzarella and gruyere would be an example of a better combination

    Cheddar tends to be more widely available, but you can certainly use whichever type of cheese you prefer!
