    I'll try this tonight with coconut fat chopped cabbage, onion and garlic and maybe coconut milk, would love to hear any decent non dairy substitutes

      I love these recipes but so many of them have high dairy content, finding a decent, cookable low carb cheese that is palatable and affordable is really challenging I would lLOVE it if carb manager gave us more dairy free recipes and options

        Thats why I enter everything individually and make my own recipe to make sure .I got the right macros. The recipe is a bit off.

            Does anyone ever reply to these questions? I have never seen a single response, so it leaves me to wonder who has it figured correctly

              Sounds good but your serving size seems off 0.1oz? With 6 servings from 30oz cabbage?umm… I make that at least 5 oz per serving..probably more like 6.5oz- which means your macros are def incorrect- somebody tell me if I’m wrong?

                At 4 grams (!!!) per serving there's no way the serving size is right!!! Since the CM recipe writer seems not to have checked back in yet, probably the best bet is to portion out 6 servings, using your kitchen scale to ensure the portions are equal, and go from there. Copy the recipe to My Foods and adjust

              Really like this! Used sausage instead of bacon. Cooked cabbage in pan with sausage 1st.

                This is great i put chicken in it. Cooked it on top of the stove and put a lid on it to melt the cheese.

                  That sounds really good- I’ll give it a try next time, might even try the sausage version with Andouille! Mmm mm!

                Are the carbs on this correct? It seems high. And the serving seems extremely low.
