This is a great recipe, sounds lovely. But I would like to see portion size and calories/portion.
I will get the size and calories loaded on to the blog post. Carol is getting that information for me. This is an old family recipe. Thanks
We can’t get Ezekiel noodles, wraps, bread where I live in Canada. Is there another option for noodles?
if you are stable p3 21 days try brown rice or quinoa noodles
Yum! That sounds awesome!!! I would also like to know calories and serving =) Thanks!
Thank you for your post. I will ask the recipe creator if she has that information. In the meantime you can make any portion size and enter it into http://fitday.com and it will give you an accurate calorie count. I will post the information on this recipe as soon as I receive it. Thanks!

Just a quick question, which noodles are your referring to in the recipe??
Jennifer, we recommend using the Ezekiel fettuccine noodles http://www.foodforlife.com/product-catalog/low-glycemic/diabetic-friendly/sprouted-grain/whole-grain-pasta-fettuccine
how many calories are in this Dianna
1040, 32, 4, 125, 200, 163, 1760, 20, 20, 120 = 3,484 / 6= 580 calories per
serving
This looks yummy, how about omitting the noodles and wrapping it as a filling using cabbage leaves?
Or you could make noodles out of a zucchini by peeling down a zucchini and then frying the little peels in 2 Tbls of butter for about 3 minutes. They are really good.
How much is per serving? Like what size?
1-2 cups would be a normal serving size of casserole. Depending and adjusted for your personal maintenance calorie ranges.. We try for 6 oz of protein per meal at least in p3
Is this recipe recommended for the first week of phase 3. Its a lot of cheese, plus sour cream
I would wait until after week one to add in cheese and dairy. Then test the amounts to determine your tolerance for these items. Some handle them fine and others need to limit to a few days a week for dairy. Those with dairy intolerance need to keep cheese and creams out.. but it is very individual. P3 helps us learn what works for us personally and what we need to avoid and be careful with moving forward to maintain long term weight loss results.
