-- Healthy Cheese balls
Gotta try this...string
cheese chopped into bite size pieces, dipped in milk and bread crumbs, baked at
425 for 8-10 minutes- serve with marinara sauce! It's baked not fried... Which
means healthy! ;)
-- Sausage Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
6 servings
4 net
carbs per serving
1 pound
ground Italian sausage (or regular pork or whatever appeals to you)
8 oz cream
cheese, softened
1 cup
shredded cheddar cheese (original recipe used parmesan)
1 pound
jalapenos, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 green
onion, finely chopped
Preheat
oven to 425 degrees. Place sausage in a skillet over medium heat, and
cook until evenly brown. Drain grease. In a bowl, mix the sausage, cream
cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onion. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sausage
mixture into each jalapeno half. Arrange stuffed halves in a baking dish.
Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly browned.
These were
my favorite and they were all eaten very quickly.
