Hello,
I love your recipes and like that you provide the nutrition composition. I am a wellness RD for a University and share your recipes on our FB page. I was looking at the nutrition composition of this recipe and I believe there is an error, the carbohydrate and fiber content is too low to have 2 – 15oz cans of beans.
