[SharBear]

How would I convert this recipe
2lbs of provolone cheese sliced
8 oz. ricotta cheese
8 oz. cream cheese
2 - 3 garlic gloves crushed
3 tbls. fresh basil
1 tbs. finely chopped almonds
1 tsp. salt.
Mix all ingredients except the provolone, until smooth.  Layer spread and cheese slices.  Wrap until chilled.

I don't see anything that needs to be changed. It looks fine to me. You'd have to watch out for the garlic, but I don't think anything else has a significant amount of carbs. How many servings does this make?

It 's really hard to say as I always make it as a dis to pass and cut into small triangle wedges.  It's really yummy.  You can easily get 12 servings.

Hi Shari, 

As far as the carbs go, it looks OK to me too.
But remember the cardinal rule... ALWAYS READ NUTRITION LABELS!

Garlic has about 1 net gram carbs per clove.

Many cheeses don't have carbs while others do.
So be careful! 

With many recipes, I figure carbs based on the entire recipe.
Then devide that by the number of servings yielded.
