| | | I am enjoying all the ideas with this recipe. Instead of using pecans for my nut crust, I tried Emerald's chocolate covered almonds and it was a hit . Keep the ideas coming. |

| | | 109, FBG, went to 130 on sausage and eggs no carbs and stayed there for 3 hrs, I feel better, but I guess my body says other wise. I'm hoping this virus leaves soon and takes a load of glucose with it when it decides to pack its bags.

| | | Couldn't find Key Lime, so I just used plain lime juice & it was delicious! So good in fact that I even ate the piece I had intended to save for someone else. LOL.
Like the idea for the cocoa almonds too. I'll have to try that next time. |

| | | So this was my Halloween treat:
Made the same nut crust, but added Walnuts and used two egg whites.
The filling was 2 bars of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of Splenda, lemon juice to taste and I added 1 serving of low fat Yogurt.
The Yogurt added 12grams of carbs total to the whole pie thingy, so say 6 pieces, 2carbs added per serving.
This was wonderful, sweet, nutty, and a lot lighter than just using the cream cheese.
Was good to have, while I watched everyone else in the room shovel Reeses Peanut Butter Cups into thier mouths.
