About the Recipes

Unless otherwise specified, the milk is whole, the butter is unsalted, and the wheat flour is white (all-purpose) flour. “Optional” ingredients and “salt to taste” are not reflected in the nutrition analyses. When alternative ingredients are listed, the nutrition numbers are based on the most available ingredient or the first ingredient; see the Dietitian’s Notes. One good way to reduce sodium is to use “lite salt,” which has half the sodium of ordinary salt.
