Having recently re-joined Weight Watcher's, I recalled a recipe for
pumpkin pie given to us by a cardiological nutritionist, which is extremely low in fat and cholesterol, sugar free, and full of flavor. I've served this to many folks who didn't know it was different and they loved it. * Exported from MasterCook * Low Fat/Cholesterol Pumpkin Pie With Oil Pastry Recipe By : Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Desserts Pies Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- -----PIE FILLING----- 1 lb Can (1-3/4 cups) pumpkin 1 c Egg substitute 3/4 c Splenda sugar substitute 1/2 ts Salt 3 ts Ground cinnamon 1 1/4 ts Ground ginger 1/2 ts Ground nutmeg 1/2 ts Ground allspice 1/2 ts Ground mace 1/4 ts Ground cloves 1 Can evaporated skim milk (12 ounces) 1 Deep 9-inch oil-pastry shell -----OIL PASTRY----- 1 1/3 c All-purpose flour 1/2 ts Salt 1/3 c Canola oil 3 tb Water FOR FILLING: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place pumpkin in large mixing bowl. Blend in egg substitute, Splenda, salt, and spices; stir in evaporated milk. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake about 45 minutes longer, until metal knife inserted near center comes out clean. FOR PASTRY: Mix flour and salt together. After measuring oil in a measuring cup, add water to the same cup but don't stir. Add liquid all at once to flour mixture. Stir lightly with fork until well-mixed. Press dough into smooth ball. Place between two 12-inch squares of waxed paper. Roll out gently with rolling pin until pastry circle reaches edges of paper. Peel off top sheet of paper. Lift bottom sheet of paper and pastry by opposite corners. Flip over onto deep 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate and remove waxed paper. Trim pastry and make a high fluted edge. Makes 1 nine-inch pastry shell. You may pre-bake the pastry if you prefer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per Serving: 279 Calories; 17g Fat (54.9% calories from fat); 7g Protein; 24g Carbohydrate; 2g Dietary Fiber; 1mg Cholesterol; 440mg Sodium.

Enjoy and to hell with the low cholesterol nonsense. If you have to, punish yourself afterwards by eating nothing but Rachel Ray meals for a week.

Not really my favorite sort, but it serves its purpose well here. I find the results are much better if it's pre-baked before filling and then re-baking baking the filled pie. As to the pie on the whole, it's a good alternative for people with diabetic and/or cardiologic issues. Despite the naysayers, it really does taste every bit as good as a conventional pumpkin pie. I like using toasted wheat germ in baked goods. In fact, that was the "secret" ingredient in the Hough's brown sugar brownie recipe I posted not so long ago. It never occurred to me to add it to pie pastry. Sounds good. You need to look for that envelope. :-) Years ago I determined that I would never be able to keep up with clippings, random notes, scraps of envelopes and paper, etc. I began photocopying them and putting them in a ring binder. At the time I never realized it would grow to such proportions. I am now up to 4 3-inch ring binders. I had hoped one day to commit all that material to MasterCook, but the prospect now seems overwhelming. -- Wayne Boatwright ******************************************* Date: Sunday, 09(IX)/28(XXVIII)/08(MMVIII) ******************************************* Countdown till Veteran's Day 6wks 1dys 15hrs 44mins ******************************************* The entire world is a very strange carrot, but the farmer isn't worried at all. |

This from the man (Paul) who was practically falling all over himself criticizing me because I don't want Mom to eat eggs 3 times a day due to her health. Yeah, let's throw them out the window simply because it's a "holiday". If we were inclined to eat pie, Wayne, I'd give your recipe a shot ![]() Jill |

IIRC, it was I who increased the Egg Beaters® in my recipe, as we like a pie with a more solid set. I had never thought to adapt an existing recipe myself, but jumped on this one when it was given to me. > When I was feeding my Kosher family, I substituted Mocha Mix non-dairy > coffee lightener for the evaporated milk and the pie was still great. I see no reason why it shouldn't be. I have used non-dairy coffee lighteners as substitutes with good results. -- Wayne Boatwright ******************************************* Date: Sunday, 09(IX)/28(XXVIII)/08(MMVIII) ******************************************* Countdown till Veteran's Day 6wks 1dys 13hrs 33mins ******************************************* Dangerous exercise: Jumping to conclusions. ******************************************* |

Have you ever had a significant weight problem, particularly if it's causing you health problems? If you really become inspired to lose weight and are following a fairly specific regime, one uncontrolled indulgence like a large and calorie laden meal can throw you into a downward spiral and undermine the effort you're making. It's very easy to say to hell with it after that, because a meal like that can destroy a week or two or progress. If you can't relate to this, then it's pointless to offer suggestions. -- Wayne Boatwright ******************************************* Date: Sunday, 09(IX)/28(XXVIII)/08(MMVIII) ******************************************* Countdown till Veteran's Day 6wks 1dys 9hrs 52mins ******************************************* What you are thinking is what you are becoming. - Anon ******************************************* |

Wayne, you are sure being awfully serious here. I just made a little funny at your expense. That's all. It strikes me as funny when people do things like drink a diet Coke after a 2000 calorie barbecue for example. To me it just seems like a token effort. As for weight, I am overweight by quite a lot. I am also diabetic. Still, I can indulge all I want to on Thanksgiving even though it will take several days to get my blood sugar back down. Diabetes is like that, even more so than being overweight and allowing yourself one good episode of unmitigated gluttony. I may not live as long as I could, but I'll sure enjoy it while I can. Anyway, it was meant in good humor. I see it was not taken that way. Paul |

It was hard to tell, but now knowing something more about you, I can take it that way. Some people here make very critical remarks and absolutely mean them as very critical. Ascerbic wittiness is sometimes hard to distinguish from seriously critical remarks. I have never been one to order a diet drink along with a 3000 calorie meal. The whole concept is ludricrous, yet I know many people who do just that. By preference, my almost constant beveral is unsweetened iced tea. However, if I want a Coke or a malt with a meal, you can be sure it will not be a diet Coke or a low-fat malt. By choice, but also by necessity, David and I are both taking our weight/health issues very seriously right now. Much of it is calorie and fat intake related. I've had a couple of serious episodes recently which I'm not willing to jeopardize further, thus the spare Thanksgiving menu. It was not what I originally intended, but it is what I will do. There are almost always just the two of us for Thansgiving dinner, and cooking what I would normally cook for that meal would also leave way too many calorie and fat laden leftovers. It's simply not worth it this year. Sorry if I didn't see the humor in your comment originally.

Finding and organizing stuff can be frustrating and painful. I just bought a 12 drawer music cabinet to contain all my sheet music and music books. It took me three days to sort and put it in some semblance of order, and it's still not exactly the way I want it. When I have more time I will go through each drawer again and rearrange some of the items I know I put in the wrong category. -- Wayne Boatwright ******************************************* Date: Monday, 09(IX)/29(XXIX)/08(MMVIII) ******************************************* Countdown till Veteran's Day 6wks 6hrs 35mins ******************************************* It is the wise bird who builds his nest in a tree. ******************************************* |

(Of course, with today's events, god > only knows when I'll be able to move....) Yes, I'm really pleased about it. I had also been without a piano for nearly five years, but I was able to buy one a few months ago. -- Wayne Boatwright ******************************************* Date: Monday, 09(IX)/29(XXIX)/08(MMVIII) ******************************************* Countdown till Veteran's Day 6wks 3hrs 19mins ******************************************* You can't win 'em all.

Or if you're like me, you'll live off the leftovers for 4 or 5 days. I make a good filling feast, but keep most of it on the healthy side, except for my husband who insists on eating the turkey skin (and has the cholesterol levels to do it, too, dang him!). I'll set out bread for my in-laws who have to have it at every meal, but with mashed and sweet potatoes, few others touch it. My husband makes the pies, and I've started buying him the Earth Balance trans-fat-free stuff to use instead of shortening. It makes a good crust, altho I prefer one made with graham crackers. Besides pie, what else are you making? maxine in ri |
