    Second the Cholula! (I buy huge bottles of it when we travel to Mexico... forget duty free alcohol. All my imports are hot sauces, lol.)

    I stared at about a dozen hard boiled eggs in the fridge yesterday and thought "ugh." So, I went back to my childhood and conjured up a memory of creamed eggs (over toast then, alone now). Didn't have a recipe, so I used HWC, a couple of sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper and 4 hard boiled eggs all sliced up, heated it up, added a tiny pinch of xanthum gum to thicken... and I was right back to being 8 years old. Mmmm!

    I do eggs with peppers & onions most often. Eggs with diced leftover meat too, particularly sausage is good. I'll also eat them poached over veggies. Or hard boiled & chopped with some mayo, salt, pepper, mustard - an egg salad. I'll also crack a dozen & put in a casserole with sliced tomato, raw spinach, sautéed onion & sprinkled feta cheese. Bake till set & it's fabulous. Basil is also nice in the casserole.
    Sometimes I just get sick of eggs and I'll do a LC flax meal muffin in a mug instead. (Goggle, theres a few good recipes out there). I'll pop that out of the mug & slice & lather with almond butter. A couple days of flax muffin & I find I'm ready for eggs again.

    What does your mug muffin have in it?

    I know I'm really late to this party, but I like to scramble some cooked ground beef into my eggs. Add a dash or 3 of seasoned salt, and extra pat of butter, and top with some salsa. I've discovered if I do this, 90% of the time, I don't miss cheese at all.

    I sprinkle nutritional yeast on my eggs, only about 1/2 tsp, it's .5 g carbs. It's my cheese substitute as I try to limit cheese to 1 oz a day. Avocados, Sriracha, fresh chives, garlic, spring onions or dill, salsa and creme fraiche are my other go-to additions to keep eggs interesting. I love a fresh herb omelette and will just let my herbs mingle in the sizzling butter for a moment before I add my eggs.

    Add dill and cream cheese. Yum! Also, low carb crepes with cinnamon and sweetener sound yummy.

    I'll have to try this!
    I love:
    Pesto
    Mayo & prosciutto
    Whole grain mustard

    I had baked eggs last night. They were so good! Drop an egg over a pat of butter plus salt and pepper in ramekin and bake @ 375 in a shallow pan of water.

    The brown or the orange / red version? I am guessing the latter.

    To keep from getting bored with eggs, I switch it up every day. I alternate eggs one day, wheat belly blueberry muffin, apple w/PB, or cheese sticks

    Pick-a-peppa?

    If it is the orange / red one, it is a sweet and spicy, almost ketchup like sauce. I bet there are a decent amount of carbs in it.

    The brown version is a tamarind based sauce and not really spicy compared to the red one. I bet it has less carbs.

    I am an absolute expert with this. I owned a spicy food business with up to 900 products at a time, for many years.

    This is snipped from my reviews of a book on Amazon, about BBQ:


    For instance, in one recipe the writer uses "Pick-a-Peppa" sauce. Well that is all fine and dandy except that there is a brown version of that sauce and a red version of that sauce and they are ENTIRELY different in flavor. One could not be substituted for the other without adversely affecting four end product. And, if I remember correctly, the recipe calls for a WHOLE BOTTLE of sauce... Gee, I'd hate to use the wrong color sauce. I could go on and on.
    There are a few recipes worth checking out. And some good background info on making good "Q", but you would be far better served by finding another book, and so would your guests.

    Green onion & cream cheese scrambled into eggs!

    I do love ketchup on fluffy scrambled eggs. Eggs get to me pretty quick & make me gaggy, but ketchup gets me through.

    I've also started to sometimes hard boil the eggs and mix with a couple tablespoons of full fat mayo (egg salad). That's pretty tasty and goes well with bacon, too.

    I just heard someone on a podcast this morning say that a family member who couldn't stomach eggs loves them scrambled with cream cheese
