I have seen vegan recipes on Recipezaar with a high cholesterol count because I

think they calculated it them dairy milk and cheese as ingredients.

Hi Ted,

 

I am guessing that the fat content you speak of is for a particular

recipe....the Pat's Baked Beans you mentioned? I am not familiar with that

recipe but every cookbook (vegetarian, heath food type and regular old

cookbooks) talk about the virtual fat-free properties of eating beans.....either

as fresh (like fresh pintos or limas) or eating cooked dried beans.

 

I noticed you said the recipe you and your wife tried did not have bacon in

it.....so I was wondering where fat came from at all with no bacon in it?

 

I am also not familiar with the " Spark recipe calculator " where do I find

it?

 

Thanks,

Nancy C.

 

 

 

Something you guys might want to be aware of if you are watching nutritional

information...

 

My wife made an altered version of the Pat's Baked Beans (without the bacon).

I entered this recipe into my Spark recipe calculator and it came out twice as

high per serving for nutrional info than what was shown in AllRecipes.com

 

I ended up manually calculating up all the ingredients via several nutritional

info sites. Sure enough, however the recipe was calculated on AllRecipes.com

was wrong. What alerted me was the fat content per serving on beans seemed to

be a bit low... so did the sodium numbers.
