Join the discussionHello,
You have 0.5 tomato sauce on the ingredients. Is that 1/2 cup?
Yes, that is 1/2 cup. There is a chart at the bottom of the recipes to help guide you with decimals vs fractions.
Yes it is 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Thank you! Changing it now!
I don’t think she had a problem with the fraction, the recipe does not state 0.5 of what (cup, can, tablespoon, etc), I was just about to ask the same question, but now see it is half a “cup”.
Sorry about that, fixed.
This may seem like a silly question, but if you are going to freeze it then grill it, do you freeze it raw?
Yes, you freeze it raw.
