i was just wondering if strained carrots can be substituted for the finely shredded carrots
You could certainly try it Margaret – if they’re more wet than the shredded carrots, you may need to adjust the texture of the dry ingredients more.
Hi Tina ? Is Brewers yeast in all stores? If not what other yeast can I use? Thank you,haven’t seen you lately,I Live watching you on QVC. THANK YOU
