Watched the High Falutin Low Carb episode where he tested lemon squares. He loved both recipes so I made both. I think the second recipe needs to be prebaked longer but we like them both. I got 24 squares out of each batch so the carb count is really, really low.

I think he's a nice guy, but I just find him really hard to watch. Just a little too over-the-top southern for my tastes. Also, there was one video where his neighbor was mowing the lawn and he went on a 5 minute diatribe about it (rather than just edit it out).
Long story short, if you feel like posting your favorite recipe, I'd love to see it -- but I'm not going to watch him to get to it. {yellow}:face:
