Ok .. what kind of potato? Probably not the LC kind … but this looks fabulous (my gosh, I love food), and I just noticed the “Other Suggestions” box up there–awesome.
Just over a month to go! You’re making it!
:) I’ll put potato “type” in during the lengthy editing process. But no, unfortunately not the LC kind, though I hear they’re working on one. Of course, it’d just be less starchy, which would mean it’d only really be as useful as jicama or turnip. You could omit the potatoes, though it’s nice to have a chunk of baked potato in a creamy soup, I think. If you can find a LC butternut squash, you’re good to go!
The other suggestions thing was both easier and more difficult than I thought it would be… but it works pretty accurately now! Dishes are also tagged by other dietary things, heat level and general categories, but that hasn’t been used for anything yet.
I’ll put LC butternut squash on my Christmas wishlist along with LC peanut butter chocolate ice cream … though not in that order. =D I almost got a cup of potato and bacon soup at Subway, but luckily, they had not lids, so I had no soup.
So is the Web site pretty much where you want it? I think it’s looking great!
LC peanut butter chocolate ice cream probably exists… just watch out for the sugar-free laxative effect :o
There are a few things that are almost done and not live and other than that I think we’re covered.
Oh yeah … I’ve tried the sugar-free ice cream and suffered the consequences.
