Promise! I'm sorry that I didn't realize that you wanted this earlier. I've sent it to you in a PM, and I will go ahead and post it here, too, in case someone else wants it.
About the pumpkin - I use Libby's canned pumpkin that is probably located next to the baking items in the grocery store. Make sure to read the label carefully so that you pick up the 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which is also made by Libby's and looks a lot like the pie filling, which has sugar in it. Here is the recipe for what I eat:
In a bowl, I mix 1/2 of a can of pumpkin (which is .88 cups) with 2 ounces of cream cheese. I put this in the microwave for 45 seconds then take it out and stir well. I then add a few drops of liquid Splenda, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons of allspice and stir. I am past rung 3 in OWL and eating up to 50 net carbs, so I also add 1 ounce of almonds, which is about 22 that I cut in half (so I can have 44 nuts
). I then put it back in the microwave for about 50 seconds, stir, and it is done. I find that the warmer it is, the better it tastes. And I really, really love this stuff. Beware, though! This concoction contains 15 net carbs. So anyone who doesn't want to use up that many carbs can leave out the nuts and/or cut back on portion sizes of the ingredients. (some people put less cream cheese than I do in it.) It is also has a high fat percentage since I use a lot of cream cheese, but I don't stress over that. This makes a lot, too, so you may not need to make this much. My husband always talked about how good it smells when I make it, so I made it for him one day. He couldn't finish it all because it is kinda rich. Cutting this in half would have been enough for him. I always finish mine.
