The nutritional info is provided as a courtesy only, as it is not done in a lab. You can use it if you like, or not. You are always free to put the ingredients into your own calculator to give you an idea of what the nutritional information is. Hope this helps.

In actuality, the nutritional value are meaningless since the serving size was omitted, and serving size is critical in calculating those values. For me, as a diabetic, I scrutinize nutritional values for my health well being.<br /><br /><br />tibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17191460718457856163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254840745141911962.post-36072606910437830492021-12-13T12:19:27.168-05:002021-12-13T12:19:27.168-05:00Thanks for your review!

I added a couple diced potatoes and I had some kale in the fridge leftover from a soup that I made earlier in the week. I added about 2 cups of bite sized pieces towards the end of the cooking time and it was delicious. My husband loved it along with a batch of sweet cornbread.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375257420451190776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254840745141911962.post-17886494086610361112021-06-22T16:01:59.304-04:002021-06-22T16:01:59.304-04:00Yes, you can use canned beans.
