Follow directions on package & set aside) 1 medium onion, chopped 8 stalks celery, chopped 1 box sage, or to taste 1 T black pepper 6 eggs 3 cans chicken broth Crumble cornbread, then mix all ingredients together. Consistency should be rather "soupy." Pour mixture into large, Pam-sprayed baking dish. 350º for 45 minutes or until bubbly & done. |

| Sheila's Even-Husband-Can-Do-It Peanut Butter Pie From Sheila's Super-Simple Low-Carb Desserts cookbook! 82 net carbs for entire recipe - compare to the 350 grams of carbs you'd expect from using high-carb ingredients! 12 ounces peanut butter 8 ounces cream cheese, microwaved 30 seconds to soften ½ cup heavy cream 1 cup Splenda 1 cup heavy cream, whipped for topping You can begin with a pie crust, or save carbs by skipping it. (For crust: I sometimes throw together ½ cup of almond flour & ½ cup of walnut flour with ½ cup butter, ¼ cup water, ½ cup Splenda. Bake 10 minutes at 350º. 30 net carbs & simple!) Mix thoroughly together peanut butter & cream cheese. Mix in heavy cream & Splenda. Once completely mixed, spoon contents in pie tin. Cover & chill overnight.

Add remaining ingredients (except for sour cream) & pop in preheated oven set to 350ºF for 5 minutes. After it cools for a few minutes, add sour cream! |

| November 2008 Update: If you're wanting to incorporate a green bean dish, please try out this Rachael Ray Bacon Fried Green Beans recipe I recently came across. I make it all the time now, and it is wonderful! I nix the red wine vinegar & use Splenda. |
