Sure, but the price to add guac at certain places (such as those rhyming with ih-po-tlay) is ridiculous. I'll still do it occasionally.3 -
This is one of my favorites!!!! I'll be right there with you & the macadamias. $10 for 10 oz at Target definitely makes it a special treat

Every spring when a local road side produce stand would open and the spray painted road signs went up, one of the things sold was "bolied peanuts". Same sign so same spelling. Love me some spicy hot "bolied" peanuts.
I'm not disputing they taste good (once I'm eating the right part of the peanut). I had some with a cajun spice blend of some sort... same brand was sold in all the convenience stores it seemed, and they had regular and cajun. But way too messy to eat while driving.
I didn't think you were. My husband would dispute their "goodness" though. He doesn't like them-indicating peanuts should be crunchy not mushy.
I'm with your husband on this one. To me they taste more like wet blotting paper than a legume. Earlier today, my husband and I passed a stand selling "Jumbo Boiled Peanuts." DH's comment: "What's even worse than boiled peanuts? Jumbo boiled peanuts."4 -

I love this idea! I'll try it this weekend. This thread it so awesome I just favorite'd it.
Hubs and I are into dehydrating and canning. We dehydrate veggies when they go on our sale or if we can find them cheap at the farmer's market. This is especially helpful with mushrooms which I *love* but they go bad so quickly. I have them on hand at all times now, woot woot!
We also pressure-can cubed chicken. Since we do it ourselves there are no additives or preservatives, and they're shelf stable for a year. It's helpful to have jars of pre-cooked, un-seasoned chicken on hand to make into anything at the drop of a hat, like salsa chicken, buffalo chicken, fajitas, etc (I'm starting to sound like Bubba from Forrest Gump over here but you get my drift, lol)

Oh yeah, we also make jerky, veggie leathers, and cucumber chips. We spice the chips with garlic and onion powder, and dehydrate those. We mainly use them as dipping chips or crackers, but they're good on their own as well (of course since they're a veggie they have carbs, so we portion them out carefully.)4

Any suggestions for fat bomb recipes? Or more information about them?0
-
I like the site for fat bomb recipes, scroll down past the promotion of her friend's book, and there are first dessert type fat bombs, and second a number of savory fat bombs.
http://peaceloveandlowcarb.com/40-sweet-and-savory-fat-bomb-recipes/
Also not really a fat bomb but close, is take pepperoni, top it with finely grated parma or romano cheese, place in microwave for less than a min. Cheese should be melted and pepperoni crispy. Some microwaves might take longer, mine is pretty powerful.4 -
What a great topic.. Loved everyone's posts.. So informative.. Thank you0

Love all these tips, especially the lettuce washing one. I can't do some of them because I am diary free but it's giving me plenty of ideas.0

Great post! Low Carbing certainly makes it necessary to snack. I am reading through the posts for ideas that do not include cheese. I am trying to cut down on cheese. It's so easy for me to eat nothing but cheese all day.1

Low carb makes it necessary to snack?
In my case, it makes it easier not to. (Different strokes....!)6 -

Yes, I was wondering about that too... I must say, on this WOE, my instinct to snack has totally disappeared... 'necessary' is not a word I'd consider at all...?
I'm wondering if you don't need to up your proteins, @DivineLotus ? Adequate protein intake should eliminate that desire to snack....3 -

I tend to prefer snacking small over having big meals. I’m a grazer. Or, if I’m busy and out of the house I don’t usually bring food around with me. I never saw it strange to have snacks... different strokes indeed.

Building off of the strawberry cheesecake fat bomb in the link above and experimenting without strawberries but using strawberry/watermelon Mio instead.... so good!1

I buy a big bag of spinach for salad and when It starts looking a little limp, cook some bacon and then toss the rest of the bag of spinach in the pan with the bacon fat and toss until wilted. Add a little lemon juice or other acid like ACV to balance the fat, and serve topped with the bacon.7
