I've been on ATkins for just 3 weeks but I ended up cheating this last weekend. My very sweet bf came over to visit and insisted on baking a chess pie for me coz he knew I love when he bakes me chess pie.

We were so debating about the ingredient substitutions. We compromised and used some liquid syrup instead of regular sugar. I just started with Atkins so my pantry wasn't well lc carb stocked yet. We ended up using a pre-made pie crust. Eeww. We baked the pie around 2 a.m. so no point on going out to find lc substitutes as well.

But it was his gesture that really made me crack and give in to eating the pie. Added to the high carb pre-made pie crust, he insisted on adding 2 tblspn flour to hold the pie together! We were chuckling over that.

We actually made two versions of the pie. One high carb which ended up perfect as usual and was his and mine turned out a lumpy marshmallowy chess pie!!!

I ate half of it during the weekend but was just scraping off the filling from the crust. LOL And knocking out myself for the 2 tlbspn of flour in the filling!
