Can I freeze the stuffing?
Hi, Evanmack2. You can definitely freeze this for later reheating.
Would rye break be ok to use instead of SWG bread?
Hi, DanaJohn5. Absolutely! Any 100% whole grain bread would be fine.
SWG breads are also available at Sprouts grocery store. Their prices are typically much better than health food stores. In fact, l was able to purchase everything on my list but Miso paste.
Hi, Bob. Try this reference: http://www.trimdownclub.com/reducing-the-size-of-recipes/.
Hi, this is all new to me and so I have to go slow. BIG question – I cook only for myself since I live alone. how do I measure down the recipes just for myself instead of cooking for a large family??? What’s the key??? Otherwise I will be wasting lots of food.

Hi, Rogerdebtoday. We are currently working on a nutritional info feature. In the meantime, we do have our exchange system, which is based on the American Diabetes Association system. You can see more details about foods in the Menu Planner program here – http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists.
Why don’t you include calories and nutritional info? Would be most helpful and even other “free” calorie counting programs have that information. Very important info for those who may be diabetic or have high cholesterol. Please let me know if you plan to offer this in the future.

what is swg bread ?
This was really good. Loved for the simple fact I could control the seasoning, unlike the processed boxed junk you can buy in the store! If you chop the bread finer, it would make a great stuffing for mushrooms too!

What does SWG stand for?
Please define SWG bread. Is it available in the US? If not, can you offer an approximate alternative?
I am afraid I seem to have signed up to non UK ingredients what substitutes could be used ? also in UK many products such as organic ranges are very expensive and is a huge consideration . The staple food in our cupboards needs to be obtainable and affordable.
