Me Too!

Me too!!! I just love to snack at night while I watch tv or read!! Some

things we do is eat celery with cream cheese, pepperoni slices with cheese,

peanuts (I have to be careful here, these stall me), sugar-free jello with

whipped cream, celery in ranch dressing/dip, and tic-tacs (all flavors!). I

know tic-tacs must have some carbs in them, although they say 0 on the

package, but Lacy and I can eat them and it never takes us out of ketosis!

Lacy's favorite snack is a " lolly-butter " , a big scoop of peanut butter on a

spoon and she just licks it like a lollipop! Watch your carb count tho,

peanut butter is not for folks on induction! We also made our own gummy

worms and chocolate kisses (which taste like ice cream). Here's the

recipes:

Gummie Anything

2 Small (4 servings) packages. SF Jello

1 Envelope complementary flavor, unsweetened Kool-Aid powder (e.g. 1Cherry

+1 black cherry berry)

3 Envelopes Unflavoured Gelatine

1 Cup Boiling HOT Water

Mix all ingredients into the hot water, until dissolved. Pour mixture onto a

dinner plate, refrigerate to set 20 minutes or more. When cool and gelled,

peel the gel-disk off the plate, roll up jelly roll fashion and slice into

thin 'snakes.' (Kitchen shears make this a snap)

If you don't want them to be " sour " worms, omit the Kool-Aid.

Chocolate " Kisses "

1 cup heavy cream

4 oz cream cheese

1 package sugar-free chocolate pudding mix (Jello brand is the lowest I've

found)

Optional: 2 tsp. peanut butter

With an electric mixer, mix the cream and cream cheese together, and then

blend in the pudding mix. It should be very thick, like frosting. Using a

piping bag with either a large round tip (#12) or star tip, pipe the mixture

into approximately 200 " kisses, " about the same size as a Hershey's kiss,

onto wax paper on a cookie sheet. Freeze until hard, then remove and store

in a covered container in the freezer. The entire batch contains about 42

grams of carbs, so approximate carb count is 5 kisses = 1 gr.

Hope this helps some!!
