Exactly. Not everyone has a reason to count carbs. My world certainly
doesn't revolve around it. The thing that bothers me is the recipe says
"1 bottle" (?!) of cooking spray. I sincerely doubt it would take an
entire can (heh) of cooking spray to coat a 13x9 baking pan. Were I to
make this I'd just brush the pan with oil.
