PUMPKIN TORTE

Pumpkin Torte

(If followed correctly, this is the best dessert  for THANKSGIVING OR |HALLOWEEN)

Spray the bottom of your pan with Pam or other similar spray coating

CRUST:    2 Cups of smashed up cookies, either shortbread Walker's gluten-free Cookies, or use Pamela's Shortbread Cookies

I find the easiest way is to put 3/4 of the box of cookies, put them in a zip-loc bag, and pound them into crumbs with your

rolling pin.

2 tbsp. sugar

1/2 Cups margarine,  MELT margarine and add sugar and cookie crumbs.  Mix well and press into 9 x 13" pan. I use the PAN

that is round and the bottom comes out, away from the sides, just ensure it is sprayed well before baking

LAYER ONE:

Mix 2 beaten eggs, 3/4 Cups of sugar, 8 ozs Philadelphia cream cheese OR SIMILAR, This recipe is "yummy" no other way to

describe it. Beat Layer One with the 8 oz cream cheese, beat well and spread over crust. Bake for 20 mins at 350 degrees

*I double the entire recipe because with eight of us it is "gobbled up" with some of the crowd asking for more!

LAYER TWO:

Mix two cups cooked pumpkin, 3 egg yolks (Save the whites)  1/2 Cup of sugar, 1/2 Cup of milk, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp. cinnamon,

Cook in saucepan until thickened. Take off heat and let cool. Beat 3 egg whites and 1/4 Cup of sugar. Fold this into cooked

Pumpkin  mixture and spread over second layer. Let set for FIVE hours.

TOP LAYER;  

Mix 1 pkg dream whip  (I have found that Kool Whip works just as well) You want something that will stay firm)
Add one envelope of gelatin and mix it into the pumpkin mix and let cool.

Beat 3 egg whites and 1/4 Cups of sugar. Fold this into cooled pumpkin mixture and spread over second layer. Let set for 5 hours.

TOPPING:

Mix 1 pkg Dream Whip or Kool Whip and spread over the TOP LAYER  Set this for five hours also

TOP

Mix 1 pkg.Dream Whip or Kool Whip and spread over top. Sprinkle this topping with some ground cookie that you have saved from

the base. or if you tolerate the gluten-free graham wafer crumbs. you can use them. Sprinkle on top of the Top Layer and also set for five hours.

SO:  you NEED to create this Torte the day prior or very early in the morning to follow the rule about refrigeration

It really is not that complicated and the taste is so good it is worth taking the time to make it.  ENJOY it because your children will!

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
