An Experiment With Pimento Cheese

I love pimento cheese. It's something that I've only recently discovered, but I've come to find that it has to be a good pimento cheese. Not that fake stuff that has weird orange food dye in it. It has to have real cheddar cheese in it.

One thing I love more than pimento cheese is a warm, gooey toasted pimento cheese sandwich. However, a problem I encounter on the keto diet is that I can't have the bread. So, I've found a way to improvise with the support of my fellow Instagramers.

Here's 1/4 cup of a good quality pimento cheese in a non-stick skillet. I cannot emphasize that it has to be a non-stick skillet and it has to be heated on low heat. Too high, too fast will result in burnt cheese which is gross.

TaDa!

The melted cheese will slide right out of the pan and a serving of pork skins are the perfect vessel for these. And the only carbs in this snack are the carbs in the cheese, which was 2 gms for 1/4 cup. This was actually pretty filling, so I ate it as a meal. I'm so glad I tried this!

Hope you guys enjoyed this one!

Keto and Gluten Free Snack: Moon Cheese


Got a new snack in today that ended up being super freaking tasty!


MOON CHEESE!

That's right. Moon Cheese. What I love is that it's simply cheese. Pepper Jack and Gouda are both 0 Carbs per serving. The Cheddar does have 1g of carbs per serving. My favorite of the 3 is Pepper Jack for sure. It's got this nice taste on the first bite that transforms into a spicy note as it is chewed. I can't wait to see what more these guys come out with (including BIGGER BAGS!)

Get it right here: 

It's tough to find on Amazon; but it is there!
