Hi Sue,

ohhh thanks for sending that in. It sounds so yummy. I was wonderin, if

I was to make this with ground turkey in it how would I figure out the

difference in calories and things with the turkey added?? Is it possible

to figure it out that way? I just need a casserole for Church and it

would not be eaten if it had no meat so I thought of that but for myself

and a couple others who are tryin to loose I wanted to figure out our

counts and all. Thanks again for sharin

Here's a thought...a friend turned me onto to soy crumbles. I tried it in a noodle and tomato casserole (literally noodles, spaghetti sauce and some onion) and I loved it...tasted just like meat to me. Anyway, Morning Star makes soy crumbles, sold in the freezer section. A nice way to add protein without the fat. It's just like ground turkey...but meatless. I think I might add some to the rice casserole recipe.

>Is mastercook something online?

It's a recipe software that used to be sold by Sierra but is now owned by ValuSoft (http://www.valusoft.com) . I love the way it figures out nutritional info and is able to export recipes with all the info intact. Some other recipe software, and earlier versions of MC, will only show the info in the program but it doesn't print out or export.

> and if I only have a half servin it wont be so bad

Well a *full* serving ws only 300 or so calories, and not that many exchanges, so why not have it?

PS - can you please cut your signature down to only 2 lines and not so heavy-handed religious? Not everyone here is Christian, remember.

Check your package of rice, since not all brands puff up the same. Some rice

I cook will be 1/2 cup makes 2 cups, others 1/2 cup makes only 1 1/2 cup

cooked.

And...how much

> is a serving...1/2cup, more, less?

The recipe is for 8 servings, so I would assume a full cup. Still, that's

not much when sitting by itself on a plate, so be sure to watch those

portion sizes and fill the empty plate up with a salad or use a smaller

plate.

Or just eat 2 servings - it didn't have *that* many calories/exchanges so

with just a little thought you can easily swing it. On the McDougall diet

plan, you wouldn't worry about serving sizes or exchanges at all, since

these foods are so low cal to begin with. The brown rice and beans are

*very* filling, so not many people would be eating more than 2 servings (500

cal) anyway.
