      We can’t get Ezekiel noodles, wraps, bread where I live in Canada. Is there another option for noodles?

    This looks yummy, how about omitting the noodles and wrapping it as a filling using cabbage leaves?

    • Sharon on December 14, 2011 at 12:49 pm

      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?

    • admin on March 13, 2015 at 8:31 am

      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

    • shawna culp on August 2, 2016 at 2:06 pm

      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.
