These babies may not look all that appetizing (apart from the bacon!) but they are fantastic. I could
eat 20 of them in a sitting if I was my pre-keto self. They are the "pringles" of snacks! Once you pop - you can't stop!
You might know these by another name but I've always heard them called 'Grasshoppers'.  Bacon wrapped, cream cheese filled jalapeno poppers!
They are extremely easy to make and the crunchier you get the bacon the better these taste! I missed the beer battered deep fried version of jalapeno poppers, but these quickly took over my hear!
Ingredients:
  • 5 jalapenos sliced in half lengthwise and gutted
  • 3/4 c. Cream Cheese (Philadelphia seems to have the least carbs)
  • 5 Strips of Bacon
Directions:
  1. Prepare your jalapenos (Slice, Gut, get rid of seeds and ribs)
  2. Fill with cream cheese
  3. Wrap with 1/2 strip of bacon
  4. Place on a broiler pan and bake at 375 degrees until bacon is almost done 6-10 min
  5. Turn oven to broil and broil for 2-4 minutes to crisp up the bacon
  6. Let cool and enjoy!
  7. Makes 10 Grasshoppers

I have tried the pork rind puppy chow and it is surprisingly good. However, it does not keep very well and ends up turning the pork rinds a bit soggy/stale after a day or two.
So I figured I'd try something a bit different. I've seen others use a blend of nuts, so here is mine :)  I hope you enjoy it!

Mr. Junkie was thinking some sort of casserole sounded good for supper today. So - I ventured to the interwebs for inspiration.  This is typically what I do to get ideas. Google 'keto Casserole' set it to 'Image Search' and out pops ideas on what to throw together.
This one turned out better than expected. I often avoid putting cream cheese in anything as I personally feel it makes the flavor too rich. But it certainly came out fantastic here.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.  Keep in mind this makes a LOT of food. We will have left overs for quite sometime!

I love crunchy pizza crusts. Much like what a tombstone pizza or jacks pizza would result in. I have been working on making something that is more similar. While this doesn’t quite hit the mark, I feel it is close. It does have a crunchy outer crust to it.  Take it for a test run! Let me know what you think!
I will be continuing my ventures to find the perfect “Tombstone” style crust, but for now, this is pretty darn good!
Keep in mind that the nutrition facts are only for the crust. Be sure to add the macros for whatever you put on it ðŸ™‚  This recipe would likely make a good breakfast crust as well!!

  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp Oregano Leaves, crushed

I haven’t had Malt-O-Meal or Cream of Wheat in over 7 years since being diagnosed diabetic. I found a recipe that called for defatted almond flour and was not about to invest in even more ingredients that cost more or had fewer uses or anything else that I had to order. (I’m lazy and cheap like that.)  So I played around with the idea of that recipe and came up with this recipe.
This is already a quick favorite of mine. Its great with berries sprinkled in and a little bit of sweetener.
