After reading this recipe I found myself wondering where all the carbs
were coming from!!! But I see towards the bottom it lists the 39.9 as
the TOTAL carb count. Given that the recipe is for four servings, am I
correct in assuming the carb count is actually 10g per serving?
Also, just to clarify, I'm under the impression that most recipes from
this list give a "PER SERVING" carb count at opposed to a "TOTAL" carb
count. Am I correct in that?
Thanks,
Gary
