Winter Holidays 2022!


Recommended Posts

Shopping yesterday, I was going...hmmm, I really should get a Turkey Day dessert.  Pumpkin as a basis is fine, actually.

 

Graham cracker crust...eh, not bad on the carbs.  What's this?  WALNUT pie crust?  Fascinating!  Very low carbs.  I'll have to double check whether it wants advance baking;  it looks like it'd be a good idea, and it'd be an opportunity to lightly season it with, probably, cinnamon.  So I've got the unusual suspects...the stuff I don't routinely carry.  Canned pumpkin, evap milk, the crust...and the fake sugar for baking.  I don't do much baking at all;  I use stevia for my smoothies, but it's not necessarily the best for baking.    

 

9 days left.   Still have yet to identify the main course.

I've had pretty good luck with Swerve® for baking, but it ain't cheap and you can still taste the -ol in erythritol.

 

Wish I could have some of that pie, I'm going to have a hell of a time avoiding carbs for the next six weeks.
