Picture it...
The Big Game is on and you're watching the Skins beat up on the Cowboys.
The smell of pumpkin pie, turkey and other traditional Thanksgiving fare wafts
through the house, making your mouth water. And in just a few minutes, you'll
start indulging in all of these culinary delights.

Problem is, you KNOW how this day is going to end. You'll eat so much you'll
feel like your pants are about ready to burst at the seams. You'll hit that after-
dinner energy low where all you want to do is take a nap. Later, you'll feel bloated.
And then the guilt will set in when you realize just how many calories you ingested
in one meal.

And then the guilt will set in when you realize just how many calories you ingested

Of course it doesn't stop there, does it? Because for the next couple days you
feel obligated to polish off the leftovers. And while you may not eat as much as
you did during the actual Thanksgiving meal, nonetheless you'll still be eating plenty
of foods that really don't belong in a good nutrition plan. There comes that guilt again.
If you're like a lot people I know, you're tired of the pattern of over-eating and
then feeling guilty about it. And that's why you're going to love my friend

Pumpkin Pie with Roasted Pecan Topping - Serves 10
INGREDIENTS
Pastry:¾ cup quinoa flour
½ cup coconut flour
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon of powdered Stevia
½ cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
Filling:
2 cups of pumpkin pureePinch salt
3 eggs & 1 egg white
Stevia to taste
½ cup low fat sour cream
½ cup low fat yoghurt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Topping:
½ cup pecans
2 ounces (60 grams) fresh cranberries
DIRECTIONS
To make the pastry:
Combine the flours, salt and Stevia in a large mixing bowl. Add the coconut oil and mix with a pastry blender or rub with your fingertips until the mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the ice water and work it in to bind the
dough until it holds together well without being too sticky. Make a ball with
the dough, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate it for at an hour.
Sprinkle the counter and a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the dough into a
10-inch circle. Carefully roll it up onto the pin and lay it inside a 9-inch pie pan.
Press the dough into the bottom and sides so it fits tightly. Trim the excess
dough around the rim and pinch the edges to form a border. Refrigerate
until ready to fill.
To make the pie:
Heat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the pumpkin puree into a bowl. In another bowl beat the eggs & 1 egg white until light and frothy. Add to the
pumpkin puree and whisk well. Add the sour cream, yoghurt, cinnamon,
nutmeg and Stevia and mix well. Pour into the pie shell; brush the pastry
with a little egg white. Lower the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F) and
bake until the pie is set (approximately 45 minutes). Remove from the oven
and cool.
To make the topping:
Finely chop the pecans and roast in a large non-stick pan over medium
heat for 5-8 minutes stirring constantly. Finely dice the cranberries and
mix together with the pecans. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cooled
pie and serve.
