EASY WAYS TO FIGURE SOME SERVING SIZES

It is easy to figure out a serving of foods looks like by remembering the following guidelines: For soups measure out 1 1/2 cups in a 2-cup glass measuring cup, place in a bowl and that is what a serving should look like. For foods in a round 8 or 9-inch cake-type dish or pan ie cakes, cornbread, pie, quiche, etc, a slice 1/8 of the whole is considered a serving. For 8 or 9-inch square baking dishes or pans ie cake, bars, lasagna, casseroles, etc, a square 1/6 of the whole is considered a serving.
