Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread
Hi, Liz 
Here is the recipe I posted in another thread:
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 35 to 40 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. It is also has a high fat percentage, 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.

Me too, LOL. Well, I've always stayed away from the sugar snap peas. There are two words in the name that kept me away. Sugar 
and peas. So I don't know if they are legal or not, what does the bag say is the grams of sugar per serving??
