ARMADILLO EGGS- Basically a Jalapeno Popper stuffed inside Sausage- and my twist was to roll them in crushed pork rinds for a crispy crunchy delicious addition!

 Ingredients:

  • 1 roll jimmy dean hot sausage
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese ( or cheese of choice)
  • 8 jalapenos
  • BBQ rub seasoning (1/2 tbsp in cheese mixture, 1 Tbsp in pork rind crust)
  • pork rinds, crushed ( approx 1 cup or so)
Directions:
  1. Prep Jalapenos by cutting in half and removing all seeds
  2. Combine cheeses and 1/2 Tbsp seasoning until well incorporated
  3. Stuff Cheese in each jalapeno half and then sandwich them together, repeat with all 8 jalapenos
  4. Wrap each Jalapeno well in the sausage, making sure there is no jalapeno showing. (you want to make sure they are super well encased so that no cheese comes out in cooking)
  5. Combine remaining seasoning and crushed pork rinds, then roll each popper in this mixture, making sure that the get a really good coating
Cook at 350 for 25 minutes.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!! SO YUMMY - these are dense little things so the calories are pretty high, but you get a solid amount of protein and fat! Macros wise its 74% Fat, 22% Protein, 3% carbs - SO PRETTY RIGHT ON for Keto Macros!!!!

( if I hadn't used the BBQ seasoning the carb count would be lower for sure- so maybe a different seasoning, or a rub with no sugar at all )

The Nitty Gritty That is Fibro

Today I may or may not have the flu. How would you not know, right? Well, if you have Fibromyalgia, every day feels like a variation of the Flu. So if I ever do get sick, like an acute Sickness, well I never know if it is yet another symptom, or a just a bad Fibro day.

Quick and Easy Low Carb Sausage Balls

Sausage Balls - My Family Recipe Ketofied! 1 pound ground sausage ( we prefer the a spicy one) 8 oz shredded cheddar 1/4 cup Kraft Parmesan cheese (green can) 1 cup Trim Healthy Mama Blend flour ( could sub almond flour, but see my substitution note below) 1 tsp Baking Powder salt/pepper to taste, about a tsp each DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Dump all ingredients in a bowl and use your hands to mash it all together well. It will not fully incorporate, there is always some stray cheese and flour, thats ok, but work it until almost fully incorporated) Next form balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 20 min or so..till golden brown! Enjoy! *****If you use almond flour I suggest adding 4 oz cream cheese as well, as it could be a bit drier. *****Sometimes I add the cream cheese anyways- I love cream cheese!!!!!
