LOW-CARB SNACK TIME DOESN’T GET ANY EASIER THAN THESE CRUSTED DILL PICKLE CHIPS. This is the recipe for deep-fried pickles that you don’t want to turn away from especially if you’re a dill pickle fan and not interested in the extra carbs from thick batter. The first time Mrs. CBB and I had deep-fried pickles was when she was about 6 months pregnant and we stopped off for dinner at a Fish n’ Chips dive in town. The restaurant was empty as it was the end of the night so we were guaranteed hot n’ fresh which is what I like. While looking over the menu Mrs.CBB noticed they offered deep-fried pickles. She was like a little kid all excited so we ordered a plate as an appetizer. I wasn’t a huge dill pickle fan but my wife goes mad for them. I was a changed man when I tasted the deep-fried pickles dipped in mayonnaise sauce. Not only were the deep-fried pickles good but I ate some of the best fish n’ chips since arriving in Canada almost 9 years ago. Growing up in the UK fish n’ chips is a big deal so now we have a […]
Crispy Parmesan Crusted Baked Zucchini Chips (Low-Carb)
GET YOUR CRUNCH ON WITH THESE EASY TO MAKE BAKED ZUCCHINI CHIPS! When we found out that we could use baby zucchini to make chips right away we knew we wanted to try it out for ourselves. The final verdict wasn’t as crispy as we had thought but we perfected them so now they are the perfect Crispy Parmesan Crusted Baked Zucchini Chips. Baked chips can be just as delicious as chips that are deep-fried in oil. By all means you could deep-fry these zucchini chips to get a crisper texture if you prefer them that way. When should you buy zucchini? Anytime is a good time but if it’s price point you are after always stick to fruits and vegetables that are in season. If you are at the grocery store especially in the Spring and Summer you will find baby green zucchini for a great deal. Most times we can find it for about $0.99lb which is a great price apart from growing it yourself. My father-in-law grows zucchini throughout the summer and my mother-in-law makes gorgeous zucchini fritters that we dip in maple syrup. I’ll make that recipe for all of you once we get some […]
Mozzarella Bacon Bomb Lettuce Wrap Dippers (Low Carb)
CHEESY BACON FLAVOURS BURSTING IN YOUR MOUTH! Get ready to experience these Mozzarella Bacon Bomb Lettuce Wrap Dippers! These little beauties packed with flavour are the perfect party food or starters for a dinner party and they won’t cost you a fortune like other appetizers will. When my wife had this idea to fry frozen mozzarella I thought she was on to something good especially when she said we were going to wrap the sticks in bacon. Ketogenic recipes for low-carb diets are what we are testing out these days although we tend to change them to suit my wife’s tastes. She is a huge fan of spices but since eating bacon is a big deal on the Atkins low-carb diet she no longer uses salt at all. Recipes with bacon always turn out good no matter what and that’s the truth. Bacon can do no wrong and pretty much will match up with just about anything. I’ll admit these Mozzarella Bacon Bomb Lettuce Wraps really were hard for me to stop eating even though they weren’t for me. In total one of these Mozzarella Bacon Bomb Lettuce Wraps come in at around 1.50g net carbs each according to […]
Nuts and Bolts Recipe
THE PERFECT SNACK AND HOMEMADE GIFT FOR THE HOLIDAYS If you’ve thought about making a homemade Nuts and Bolts Recipe for the holidays also known as a “cereal snack mix” check this easy recipe out. Last week this gorgeous Nuts and Bolts photo showed up on my What’s For Dinner post on Facebook and I knew I wanted to share it on the blog with all of you. My wife has asked me for years to create my own Nuts and Bolts Recipe but I’ve always put it last on the baking list. I’ve had many different versions of the Nuts and Bolts Recipe over the years but mainly around the holidays. The salty flavour of the Nuts and Bolts pairs perfectly with a lovely holiday beverage. I still prefer a cold beer. Some people also put chocolate in their Nuts and Bolts Recipe once cooled down to add a sweet element to this popular snack. Others eliminate the nuts like this recipe has which also keeps the costs down. If there is someone who cannot eat nuts this snack may work well for them. When my wife was younger she remembers a best friend of hers whose mother […]
