Well, the pie smelled good and looks good, I won't know until tomorrow how it tastes.  As for the pumpkin bread, I'll just slice it and call it pumpkin fingers.  It does taste good, just a little higher in carbs than yours.  Next time I'll see if I can find Libby's' pumpkin instead of the E.D. Smith since the carb count is so different.  Sometimes in a small town there is not a lot of choice as far as brands.  I'll start looking way ahead next time I decide to bake.  Thanks for your help.

Doug, I remade my pumpkin bread to see if it made a difference with new baking soda & baking powder.  The baking powder that I thought I bought not too long ago, I had written the date on it when I opened it, and it said Oct. 18/09.  It didn't seem that long ago.  So I started again with new containers of both, I even whipped my egg whites slightly and my pumpkin bread still didn't raise any higher than when I put it in the pan.  It still tastes great though, just looks a little squatty. 

I was wondering if the boughten canned pumpkin (I have E.D. Smith) is denser than the fresh pumpkin you used, therefore making the loaf heavier and that might be why it didn't raise.  I see on the Crustless Pumpkin Pie recipe you got 26 net carbs for the whole pie.  I got 58.5.  The E.D. Smith canned pure pumpkin is 6 net carbs per 1/3 cup x 3 cups = 54 just for the pumpkin.  That's why I'm thinking the canned is denser.
  75 ml = 1/3 cup (it says 1/3 cup on the can, but 75 ml on their website)

Oh, and my Crustless Pumpkin Pie is in the oven right now and it looks and smells amazing.

Very cute poem Shihtzumom1
Thanks, but I can't take the credit.  I just altered it from an email I received to make it FTs appropriate.

Happy Thanksgiving Downeast, from Southern Ontario.  Congratulations on your amazing weight loss!!

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey be plump,

Have never a lump.

Stay off your thighs!

I quit 24 years ago by being hypnotized.  I have also heard of a book that has helped others called "Allen Carr's Easyway To Stop Smoking."  Supposedly Ellen DeGeneres & Ashton Kutcher quit with this method.  You just have to find a way that works for you.  Just like FTS, once you get the smoking behind you, you will never look back.

Welcome to the forum Frosty and to your new healthy journey! I also have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and both came down wonderfully in the first few weeks of eating the FTS way.  You are going to be amazed at how great you will feel once you get these two under control.  Good luck and we are looking forward to hearing updates on your healthy new life!

What is Jello Mousse? Is it premade or packaged?

Pre-packaged.  I haven't tried them yet, but they look good:
