I made this recipe and the whole family loved it, even the picky ones. I was curious about the nutrition facts.
Thanks
Can you cook this and freeze it to use later? I am preparing freezer meals for my daughter-in-law who is expecting her first baby.
Yes, you should be able to, although we’ve never actually tried it. Based on what’s in it, there shouldn’t be a problem with cooking it and then freezing it and reheating when ready to use.
