Not wanting to side with JCD here, but puff pastry could never be low- carb. You need the extensibility of wheat flour. VWG would be impossibly tough, and nuts/seeds/powders too crumbly. Either
1. Do without it 2. Save up for it by exceptionally low carbs for a few days (meat, meat, meat), then a small helping of your chicken pot pie with only half a pastry cover, then cardio.
Fact is, no WOE can give you everything you want. If you find LC too restrictive, you might be happier on WeightWatchers or something similar. -- Jane Lumley

Oh, sure. It's because your side is so warm and fuzzy.

Especially in the summer.
I've had good luck with the store brand shaving gel from "Ammo "R" Us." No more fuzzy...

Oughta try it.
And I'm totally serious.
Um, Bob? The guy lied to you. That wasn't shaving gel. It was Naval Jelly - the rust remover. It was a bet. You understand of course. There was beer riding on it so the guy isn't really to blame.
Take care (rinse lather and repeat), Carmen

A real challenge - has anyone here successfully made a replacement for Puff pastry or should I just replace it with a few sheets of Filo??
Just got a real craving for Chicken & Mushroom pie and I really fancy the 'bite' of the pastry as it flakes(drool) the filling isn't enough on it's own, somehow
Hi elise, I know of no substitutions, I may be a crappy cook, but I am a greek one. 🙂 Not trying to imitate Mr. JC here but filo is not low carb. One sheet of filo has about 16 carbs, and if you want to fill it with something savoury it'll take at least 3 sheets or more. Hope this helps and good luck, if you do find a decent substitution, tell me about it. I do miss spanakopita the most. Monica.
Don't know what brand you use or if you make your own but 1 sheet of phyllo/filo dough (9"X14"😉 is 7 grams of carb. I always get the twin pack and keep it frozen. Here is the ingredient url for the brand I use: http://www.athens.com/consumers/fillodough.html#nutrition
FTR, it doesn't take much to have a wonderful texture and a delicious taste.

I should get a Gran Torino.
I remember my dad had one, but it was early 70s - probably about a '71 when the tail was taller and the whole car had a more sharklike appearance. It was silver-grey. God that was a gorgeous car. Were I ever to say "to hell with gas mileage" my dream car would be a '73 Mach I though. With the louvers so it really looks sharky. Sigh.

Monica - we should figure out a LC spanikopita and baklava recipe :o) that would be awesome!!! -JoAnna (another Greek cook...)
Well...the baklava I could skip. On the other hand, in the old days, I could eat a tray of galaktobouriko no problem! That was always my favourite dessert. 🙂 Monica -- Started Jan. 20, 2004 362/215.8/Goal: Till my thighs don't rub together anymore. http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tavligirl/my_photos ________________________________________________________ "I have decided to stick with love.

I don't care much for kourambiethes, but I love loukomathes and melomacarona. I had two loucomathes in October when my sister brought some back from the Greek Food Fest. It was hard to resist. And I also had a melomakarono at Christmas, but just one! 🙂 Monica

I had a '70 Torino GT with a 302 that I should have kept.
I was kidding about the Gran Torino. I never really cared for them.
