What are the calories, carbs, fat and protein in a serving?
I made this and it was delicious. My major pet peeve on all the cooking sites is that up to 75% of people comment on a recipe they’ve not yet made. People if you haven’t made the the recipe, please stop commenting. on it. It is highly annoying!
