How’d it Taste?

  • Jane says:

    Only reason for the 3 stars is that serving size is hard to determine. Is one fourth of the recipe a cup or what? Makes it very hard to use without a serving size measurement.

    • Katherine-Oldways says:

      Hi Jane, thanks for your comment! It is not exact, however we recommend dividing the recipe among four bowls, or containers for later.
