      Is Gm supposed to be grams?
      Tip (if you did mean grams) Generally g is used for grams, I live in Canada and we use the Imperial system which uses grams so that is a thing I know for sure
      Sorry I’m not trying to be rude, I just wanted clarification… please

        its grams. I do use g within the recipe. I get questions about what it is, so sometimes in the write up i use Gm.

        Imperial would be pounds (lb) and ounces (oz). Grams/grammes/kilos/kilogrammes is metric.

      Thank you for continuing to update your blog with such awesome recipes! I recently had to switch to a vegan diet for health reasons (rare inflammatory disease) and I really don’t know what I’d do without this page!
