I will have to try that! Sounds good to me. Should we tell @barefootbob? Lol

#22

I make my owm pimento cheese so I’ll be trying that soon. :yum:

Who knew?!! We might be creating monsters with these pork rinds. :wink:

They are my go to chip. I used to eat tons of tortilla chips, not any more. Although I do still have a can of baby corn I want to try and make into chips. there is a recipe using those in our Recipes forum, by Fiorella I believe. I keep meaning to try it, but the pork rinds keep me so happy I haven’t tried the recipe yet.

My main snacks are hard boiled eggs and colby jack cheese sticks (by Sargento).

I eat in various combinations: sardines in oil, tuna in oil, hard cheeses, pork rinds with butter, cold bacon, liverwurst, deviled eggs, and pepperoni.

#27

cut an avogado in half, fill a half with olive oil, and use a spoon.

#28

Pork rinds too, I forgot about those.

I have sardines too but they are really fishy, I like to mix them with mayo (like you would do with tuna), add a little chopped celery & black olives and make a lettuce leaf sandwich out of them.

the wholy guacamole is great dipped with bacon!!

I mix the sardines with tuna with the mayo and other goodies, for seafood salad. Goes way beyond a snack level food. 1 can sardines to 2 cans of tuna (5oz) feeds me and hubby very well at lunch.

Those sound awesome!

#32

A tablespoon of Kerrygold or duck fat.

Since you like cottage cheese, try full-fat ricotta. Different brands have smoother or grittier textures. I like Stop & Shop house brand. Much lower carbs than cottage cheese. Or try mascarpone. Sprinkle of cinnamon mixed with a bit of Swerve or similar low-impact sweetener on top, yum.

And for an extra luxury if you can get it, roasted pumpkin seed oil or walnut oil. Just as simple but gourmet level tasty!

Oh that inspires me to make some pate again … smoked mackerel, butter, a bit of sour cream and lemon rind, salt and pepper … makecpate boats with celery or chicory leaves, or just eat straight up with a spoon. Keeps for a few days. Endless variations on the pate theme … salmon with capers, tuna in several variations, sardines with harissa to cover the fishyness … and here in Germany at least, low carb liverwurst is another easy to grab thing (making your own liver pate is a lot more work…) Foie Gras if it is a gourmet supermarket you are passing by. Oh I could go on … Fasting always brings out culinary creativity in me :wink:

I’d love to have a decent pimento cheese recipe! Care to share?

#37

I don’t really go by a recipe so much as ingredients to adjust as to desired taste and consistency. Here’s what I would use per batch:
·8oz sharp cheddar (can use mix of sharp/medium but I prefer extra sharp white)
·Tbl or so pimentos (jalepeños optional :smiley:)
·cream cheese
·Dukes

The last two adjust for desired consistency. I like mine a bit thick so I use more cream cheese and just enough Dukes to get it spreadable. Whip it up in the food processor and adjust as you go.

I actually cook a lot this way by feel, taste, and experience so often I don’t even measure stuff.

(Sophie) #38

This sounds really simple and would probably taste really good too. I’ll definitely give it a go! Thanks.

I think intuitive cooks are the best. Both my parents were like that and taught me the same.

Just this afternoon I needed a snack. So I grabbed 4 strips of precooked bacon from my bacon cache, and 2 tblspoons of cream cheese. Split that cream cheese over the 4 bacon slices and it was awesome. My dog sat there licking his lips just waiting for me to drop one. He enjoyed licking the plate clean for me.

Hard Boiled eggs while they are hot mix in some butter so it melts and put in a container.
