They are already eating the brownies, no bake cookies, and cupcakes Umpa and others have posted.  ;D  I have switched my little one's ice cream treats out for Breyers Carb Smart ice cream bars.  :D

Hi y'all!  So Andrea and I met for coffee this morning, it was great to meet someone doing what I'm doing!  And I think Andrea put it best, it's nice to not have to explain why we're not having a scone with our coffee!!  ;D ;D

Who says you can't have a scone!  ::) ::) From page # 119 in the FAT TO SKINNY Sugar Free Bakery Book!

Chocolate Pecan Scones
Ingredients

   2 cups soy flour
   4 teaspoons baking powder
   ¾ teaspoon salt
   12 drops FAT TO SKINNY ZERO sweetener
   ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa
   ½ cup sour cream
   4 tablespoons butter (cubed)
   2 tablespoons shortening
   ¾  cup heavy whipping cream
   1 egg
   ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
   1 teaspoon Xylitol

Directions

1.   Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2.   Line large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3.   In a food processor, pulse flour, ZERO, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and salt together.
4.   Add the cubed butter and shortening, pulse on high for 2 minutes.
5.   Mix egg and whipping cream in a separate bowl then add to the food processor.
6.   Pulse in egg and milk until just combined.
7.   Add sour cream and nuts and mix.
8.   Lightly dust a board with soy flour and place dough on board.
9.   Cut the dough in half.
10.   Pat ½ of the dough out into a 12 X 6 X ½ inch rectangle.
11.   Cut the dough into two 6 X 6 X ½ inch squares.
12.   Cut each 6 X 6 square opposite corner to opposite corner in an X forming 4 triangles.
13.   Repeat the process with the rest of the dough until you have 16 scones.
14.   Brush the tops of each scone with heavy cream and sprinkle it with some Xylitol. 
15.   Place pieces on the baking sheet so that they are not touching.
16.   Bake scones for 14-18 minutes till scones are firm.
17.   Let scones cool completely before serving

AND this is only one of 45 different scone recipes in the bakery book :)

Could I use Almond or Flax instead of Soy flour?
Thanks Doug and Umpa!

The reason I used soy was it can be rolled out with a rolling pin like white flour ,its not sticky. You could try almond flour and just dust your rolling pin and dough with soy flour or oat fiber.You are welcome ;)

It was really fun to meet Jen in person.

I'll have to bring my own scones to the coffee shop next time.
