I wish I were a fly on the wall and could watch his face...
Low carb desserts are a lot of fun, all your people will eat them and never know they are low carb..here is one of my favorites to share with co workers who bad mouth LC living.
Strawberry Pie
1/2 cup pecan meal ( or crushed nuts)= 8carb-4 fiber=4
1/4 stick of butter melted =0
2 pkgs of splenda or heat tolerant sweetner= 0
1 bag of froze whole strawberries..no sugar added OR
1 Quart fresh Strawberries. =44 carbs -14 fiber=30
1 8 ounce pkg cream cheese (soft) =8
sweetener ( I use liquid for this its no carb) =0
1 pkg sugar free strawberry jello =0
total = 60 - 28 fiber.
use the pecan meal, melted butter and sweetener to make a crust ( like graham cracker crust) bake in 350 oven about ten minutes. let it cool. while this is cooling combine the cream cheese and the sweetener blend well till all smooth. spread this into the bottom of the cooled pie crust. take some of the strawberries and cut them in half, push them into the cream cheese to make a pretty pattern. place the remaining berries in a sauce pan just cover with water, simmer till mushy, add the jello, mix well and pour this over the cream cheese/berries in the crust. chill till firm. NO one can tell its low carb..when people ask for the recipe I give them the high carb version with sugar and cornstarch
the carb count is low enough you can enjoy this tasty dish without guilt. Hope it helps.
one of my co-workers was talking in front of customers last week about being plus size, I laughed and then she said looking at me, yep, it must be hard to be 3x. I did NOT fat her lip for her, just laughed and asked" is that what size you are now? I have some that are too big for me I can give you!!) every day is a victory. fight the good fight.
