Hi Linda,

Sounds like you're enjoying the Holidays. That's the way it should be. Good Food, Good Times, and Great Friends.

I'm afraid that my Diabetes won't let me enjoy a lot of these Sweet Treats, but I still love to see the Smiles on everyone's faces when they're eating them.

Of course, I do still eat some Sweet Thangs, I just have to use Splenda or Truvia instrad of Sugar. Like this Sweet Potato Pie with Splenda Brown Sugar Blend. A graham cracker crust surrounds a satiny sweet potato filling topped with pecans that is guaranteed to win applause at your table.

Sweet Potato Pie

• 2 (15 ounce) cans sweet potatoes in light syrup, drained

• 1¼ cups lowfat evaporated milk

• 2 large eggs

• ¼ cup SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend

• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 (6 ounce) prepared reduced-fat graham cracker pie crust

• 3 tablespoons chopped pecans

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

• Put sweet potatoes in bowl of electric mixer and mash on medium speed. Add evaporated milk, eggs, SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until combined. Scrape filling into crust. Top with pecans.

• Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Hope Your Christmas Is Bright & Beautiful,

Phil

Hi Linda,

Like I have said, I do like my Pumpkin, just about any way it's served. Here's a warm and creamy rich pumpkin drink that tastes like a Starbucks® pumpkin Latte, but with NO caffeine, so it is very kid friendly or great at the mid day office Holiday party. I will admit, I did add a shot of Expresso to mine, but all of the kids drank theirs as is, and asked for the rest of what was left.

No Coffee Pumpkin Latte

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 quart milk
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Combine pumpkin, milk, sugar (or Splenda), cinnamon, and vanilla in a large saucepan over medium heat. Use a whisk to blend well. Heat to a simmer; do not boil.

Have A Wonderful Holiday,

Phil
