  • I'm sorry, I forgot to add that the onion needs to be chopped.

  • I do believe the recipe calls for 1 (large) white onion.

  • Yes, as a wife of a diabetic, having the Nutritional Analysis of a recipe would really be nice. But, a lot of times the recipes that are submitted are recipes handed down from one friend to another and when written down, that information gets lost. Now, it would be nice, if we do have the Nutritional Analysis of a recipe we are submitting, it would be nice to type them as well, having them following the directions.

  • As a diabetic I need to see the Nutrional Analysis...calories per serving, fat content, sugar content, fiber, carb, etc. on all recipes.
