Here is something fast I threw together for a snack.  I was really craving something crunchy gooey and sweet (of course) but feeling lazy so I didn't want to bake anything.     I took plain pork rinds and tossed them with melted butter (the real thing  ) cinnamon and a few drops of zero to taste.  Threw them in the micro just to heat for a couple of seconds.  Yummy  Reminded me of cinnamon toast    

FYI  cinnamon has trace carbs in it (just over 1/2 carb per tsp), so if you use a lot you should measure so you can count it...otherwise I count it as a 1/2 carb snack.  Of course it would also depend on your sweetener of choice and the pork rinds you use  I like the Baken-ets from Frito Lay.  They have a very mild pork rindy flavor, but you could use any brand that you like

One of my all time favorite quick and easy breakfasts...

Heavy cream and cinnamon are GREAT on top of an OMM (made with 6 drops FTS Zero and 1/2 tsp cinnamon)!
It's like cinnamon bread pudding (less the raisins). Cranberries work if you like a tart zing!

Before breakfast, I went through my pantry and pulled everything out & wrote them down and the net carbs in them. Most items are from a food bank. I had to get rid of few that were too high in carbs. This made me pretty hungry, so I looked in my fridge & saw diced celery left over. It looked good so I grabbed that & decided I wanted it in some eggs. Was too hungry to add a lot of ingredients.

Here's what I made-

Leftovers Eggs

2 eggs (2 net carbs)
1/2 cup Diced veggies (mine was diced celery and diced red bell pepper 1/2 cup totaL= 1 NET CARB)
2 tbsp oil (I used extra virgin olive oil)
1/4 cup finely shredded cheese (I used sharp cheddar 1/4 cup = 1 net carb)
2 tbsp salsa (I used La Victoria Salsa 1 tbsp= 1 net carb)

I sauteed the veggies in the oil until bell pepper started to brown. scrambled eggs. Added to veggies, stirring constantly. Removed from heat, added cheese. Covered pan. After couple minutes, uncovered pan, slid eggs onto a plate then topped with Salsa. Easy peasy and filling from eggs & oil.

Hi, Susie!

This is a very tasty use of leftover celery.
I find the simplest dishes are often the best!

Thanks Tony! I loved the slight crunch of the celery in my eggs too.
