Thanks so much for all the hard work you have done on these recipes. Compiling all the nutritional info for 3 to 4 different ways of eating is not easy. Very meticulous job! I subscribed and am looking forward to receiving the breads ebook. Also I am sharing your page's link to group members of a keto group I follow. I'm sure they will be as excited as I was to cind your site.

I live in Budapest and cannot get real pumpkin or the puree you show. I do have several cans of pumpkin that US guests have brought over. Can this be substituted?

  Hello Dr. Ryan James,
  I'm quite sure if it some kind of canned, unsweetened pumpkin, then you could use it. If it is pre-sweetened then, you may want to leave out the other sweetener.

  Joan, I checked in a couple different browsers and both print recipe cards were working. Perhaps it was a glitch. If it is still not printing, let me know what browser you use so I can trouble shoot.
