Dinner: Gumbo adapted from NY Times Magazine December 28, 2008. Used 1/2 low carb thickener, 1/2 potato starch instead of flour, and served it on cauliflower 'rice.' Very nice. Jim was in the Floridan panhandle this week and said it compared favorably to gumbo he had there.
Dessert: Cranberry Pie from Judy Barnes Baker's Carb Wars. I only had 2 cups of cranberries leftover from the holidays - about 1/2 of what the recipe calls for. So I made 1/2 a pecan-meal, butter and coconut flour crust pressed into a small oven-proof dish. Made 1/2 recipe of the cranberry pie filling, and baked for 25 minutes in my toaster oven. This was good with whipped cream (as Judy suggests).
Snack: I'm planning to make Dana Carpender's Pecan Sandies (from her 500 Low-Carb Recipes), but I had a glass of wine - a nice Malbec, a Christmas present from Jacob - with the Gumbo and may not get there.
