semi-healthy pecan pie?

March 26, 2007

Hi all,

Does anyone have a recipe for a slightly better for you pecan pie? My

boyfried's birthday is coming up next month, and that is the treat he has asked

for, but we have also been eatting the South Beach diet way, so I was hoping to

find some way to make something kind of like pecan pie, but with less sugar?

I have a bunch of phyllo (sp?) sheets, and was thinking of using that with the

pecans, but unsure on how to make the " pie " filling part.

Any ideas would be great!

As for the South Beach Veggie way, it's going great! Tons of wonderful tastey

food, even in the first phase. The BF is always excited to see what we will be

having for dinner I think the favorite was the stuffed red peppers, or maybe

the portabella w/ goat cheese and spinach. Last night was temphi for the first

time It's pretty good, if you can get over the " mold " looking stuff in it.

Thanks again!

Libby

The seed is in bloom, will it meet an early doom

or survive in a tranquil sea?

Does it face an early end, will it find a real friend,

should it be called humanity?

Will creation of man bring death by his hand

or will life be his destiny?

The Seed - Rare earth
