Thanks Mayberry, I just wanted to be sure. I lurk here daily but I rarely feel that I have anyting to contribute to the conversation so I just lurk and cheer you all on!

almost ruined a good keyboard - Doing some research using google and this came up and of course I had to click on "Kimkins Low Crab Diet".... I am not kidding..So that's the plan behind the plan!

"Low Crabs" What? You itch so much that you can't eat?

Why pay Heidi $79.95? You could pick that up for free at a bus station.

As Bob Barker used to say - "Help control the Crab population. Have your crab spayed or neutered!"

See, Heidi is just a good public servant, right?

No Bake Pumpkin Cream Pie

Recipe shared by Rachel
Serving Size : 1

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

3 cups Splenda
16 ounces cream cheese -- softened
1 stick butter
2 tablespoons vanilla -- or Vanilla DaVinci syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
29 ounces canned pumpkin
3/4 cup heavy cream

(it's not really for one, I know)

This wasn't it, but I'm on the trail. One of you ducks had something on a blog or in here, and it had to be in the past few months - and I should have bookmarked it but I am an idiot.

Is this it?

From this blog: Coffey To Go

Jody's Pumpkin Bake

.
CarolynF brought this recipe to LCF about six months ago. The recipe she posted was half of this one, and it claimed to be four servings. Those must have been some HUGE servings!! I get twelve good-size servings out of this recipe (which would be six servings of the original recipe). It's good for breakfast or dessert- and the non-low-carbers like it too (so no problems using up 12 servings in a few days!). CarolynF hasn't posted a recipe yet that I have made and not liked. (If you absolutely, positively must have pancakes- CarolynF has a perfect recipe for pancakes using Carbquik- which I will post later. I'm trying to stick to induction-friendly recipes for the month of January.)

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
10 eggs, room temperature
liquid Splenda equivalent to 1 cup sugar
30 ounces canned pumpkin, two 15-ounce cans
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 13 x 9 x 2" pan with non-stick spray; set aside.

Beat cream cheese until smooth.

Blend in remaining ingredients until well-mixed.

Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 40 minutes, or until center is firm (doesn't jiggle when you shake the pan).

Cool, then chill before serving.

Serves 12.

Shoot...Maybe it's not it. When you said "Blog" hers came to mind. She has great recipes.

I see now it was about "Clouds" or something.

Nevermind. I think I just had a Brain "Fart".

Carry on.

Those things you thought of after the interview would certainly make a good blog post as a follow up to the interview itself.

Amyb1569 · 03-24-2008, 05:26 PM

I guess when it comes down to it...I did the best I could. It may of been best that I did it so soon after being banned. Because the feelings I have now are so much more ...what is a good word...PISSED OFF...with heidi and now singinglass. The interview may of needed to be R vs PG...ha

Amy, I thought you did a great job. Your personality shows through. You are just a sweet honest caring person who didn't expect to meet up with a "lying liar that lies."

Whisk together and strain

Pour into ramekins

Bake for 35 – 45 minutes in a 1 inch water bath @ 300 degrees

They are done when you are able to insert a knife into the center and it comes out clean. They should be set up when they come out of the oven (not jiggling in center), but don't bake them any longer than absolutely necessary. If you like it extra creamy, use 1/4 cup heavy cream and reduce amount of Calorie Countdown to 1 3/4 cups.

This is a great way to eat eggs when you are sick of eating eggs!

I went to the store~ they don't carry the Hood LC milk anymore. Any ideas where I should look for it? I was sooo looking forward to custard.

I'll second that!

I was especially struck with the concept of Kimkins as some kind of magical place -- that her adherents are stuck there because they somehow think that if they leave, they won't make goal. That was brilliant, Amy. It really helped me to understand why so many stay.

Amyb1569 · 03-24-2008, 06:05 PM

I figured out what I was trying to say earlier. I wanted the interview to come from my heart and not my anger. I so hope that is what came across. I know bo matter what a person says or how they say it will please everyone...but it was from my heart...and that is what counts.

Mayberryfan · 03-24-2008, 06:05 PM

Nady~

Hood changed it's product name to Calorie Countdown but it's the same stuff. Low carb milk that is actually very good. And, I'm not a milk drinker!

That's what I have said before. We all felt like it was our little safe place from the rest of the world until we found out that it wasn't. That was just some more of Heidi's smoke and mirrors, and we believed it -- until we found out the truth.

rebel · 03-24-2008, 06:09 PM

I can't believe that none of you have commented about my new avatar. I call it our house on Kimkins. Actually, this is a picture of our house when we first bought it.

Actually, I did comment. Just not online.

My dds have looked over my shoulder for months now as I've read the FWK threads and I was showing them your house and pointing out that it was now that beautiful blue house and that this must be the before picture. It almost doesn't look like the same place!

Well, I'm glad you noticed "Sweet Tater." I'm getting used to your new picture, too. I changed mine once before and when I went back to the blue house picture, HoneyBee said she didn't recognize me without the house.

walmart carries it and they are changing the name once again---it is called smart start or simply smart---anyway something smart....

you can always use 1/2 heavy cream and 1/2 water if you can't find the Hood brand
