    Thanks for your reply Kristin.
    Could DD consider listing the nutrition for the individual ingredients that the recipes have been based on? I'm thinking something like a reference list of the figures DD has used when calculating the nutrition of each recipe.
    So then we could use those figures versus our local brand to see if its comparable at all? So if the brand we buy is drastically different we are aware and can source a better ingredient? or alter the recipe slightly OR at least be aware the carbs are much higher and account for them.

    Would also help when folk are not sure which kind of coconut milk/cream etc a recipe is asking for, and other similarly confusing ingredients, if the numbers are far off it will become apparent something is very wrong.
    Also would help make it easier if we need to use a substitution.

    I would consider that ONLY the ingredients on the ingredients just for the recipe are what are counted. What you do to it after it's cooked is up to you. Itll change the calorie/fat/carb/protien counts depending on what you add. Like if you out this on top of cauliflower rice. That's an extra. So would serving it beside a salad with mayo. It's an extra too. I've made this several times and it is SOOO yummy and doesn't need any accompaniments like salad (I don't eat leaves as a rule either tho). Enjoy !!!

    Hi, I am having problems with the brussel sprouts becoming done. I fried them, but maybe not long enough (it didn*t say in the recipe): Now they are in the oven for 30 min already and still not done. I added some vegetable broth and hope that will help. What did I do wrong?

    You may not have done anything wrong. They won't likely brown up anymore but should become tender.

    It doesn't say how long to bake at 425? I mistakenly baked too long as I saw the "cook" time listed as 40 mins. I'm thinking it only should have been about 10-15 in the oven. Everything was already cooked.

    One thing I did to help the B.S.'s get fully cooked was cut them into 3rds instead of halves.

    Thank you for your feedback. We have updated the recipe - it should be baked for 15 mins on 425ยฐF (220ยฐC).

    This came up on my meal plan but I absolutely canโ€™t eat Brussels sprouts (one of just a handful of things I donโ€™t eat). What would be a good substitute? Maybe broccoli?

    You can substitute any vegetable you prefer that meets your carbohydrate needs. Here's our substitution guide. Yes, broccoli would work well as a side item.

    I made it with kale.
    I used 500 grams pre cut kale. I first baked the bacon then added the butter. I let the butter melt an added the kale. I added a little bit of water and put on the lid to steam the cale on a low fire for 15 min.
    It was dilicius. It is a good replacement for my favorit Dutch boerenkool stampot.

    If you're American you need to use Canadian bacon (not regular bacon).
    If you're British you need to use back bacon (not streaky bacon).
    Same thing, different names :-)

    This recipe was written using American bacon but Canadian bacon could be used instead.

    I sliced the Brussels into 1/8 to 1/4 inch slices (shreds). They softened nicely and even got a little color in the pan before adding to the baking dish.
