Recipes - Lentil Chili & Mexican Skillet
One thing that MIGHT cause a discrepancy -- I've found in previous use
with recipe/nutrition programs is that the program may have separate categories for raw and cooked pasta and grains -- ie. 8 oz of macaroni is different than 8 oz of cooked macaroni just a thought.........
