So I am an incredibly lazy person. And anything that is easy, tasty, and low-carb is pure heaven for me. I have been experimenting with different combos of foods for the past few weeks. One my husband thinks is really gross is Parmesean Herb Bacon! Basically bacon slices dipped in the leftover "breading" (I.E. parmesean cheese and dry italian dressing mix) that I had from making myself baked chicken. It is tastier than I thought possible, and I actually ate some for lunch the other day. My hubby looks at me like I'm nuts.

So what're your weirdest foods? I wanna hear em!

Hey! That's what I eat with my Gyro meat. Yum!


I don't have any weird recipes, per se, but I do enjoy a small glass of jalapeno pickle brine every other day or so. Not only does it taste good, but it keeps me from getting sore after weight training and keeps me from getting cramps. (Yes, it's low carb even though there is vinegar in it. And yes, I do drink additional water to make up for the increased sodium).

I eat a ton of pre shredded cole slaw mix- have it as a higher fiber sub for my lunch salads and use it as a stir fry veggie.

Keeps me right as rain.

I will sometimes cut an orange bell pepper in half, fill the halves with ricotta cheese and sprinkle some splenda. It's a quick filling snack, but my family thinks it's the wierdest thing ever!

Everything I eat is weird. I make sour cream pudding, when I want a volumous amount of pudding. It's 6-8 tbs of sour cream, 4 tbs of heavy whipping cream, 1 tbs of unsweetened cocoa and 6-8 packets of splenda. I mix it all together looks like chocolate pudding, but IMO tastes better.

I make a low carb bread pudding out of pork rinds.....fools "normal" bread pudding lovers even!

Heat it up good and pour heavy whipping cream on it - YUM-O

Weird is good sometimes because you can come up with some great stuff. I love cream cheese and sour cream so today I boiled some eggs and when they were still hot I mushed them up and add cream cheese. It was yummy. I also am addicted to fried Bologna lately. But too much sodium.

Heee heee, Mel

Makes me smile, cuz I think of Weird Al's version of My Sharona (My Bologna)- hilarious, ya gotta love his food songs.

I'm super curious about that sour cream chocolate pudding!!!

Cool topic! Those weird snacks sound pretty good to me.

My Weirdest Snack Ever: Butter spread on top of a slice of Zero Carb Cheese with a couple Walnuts stuck on top. While I was making it I was thinking, "Yuck. I have such strange cravings." I was surprised I actually liked it.

Sour cream in soup is good. Not cooked in, but put on top when you serve it, and mixed in as you eat. Makes the soup much more filling.

I make peanut butter lemonade with water, bottled lemon juice and DaVinci SF peanut butter syrup. The smell takes a bit of getting used to.

Speaking of peanut butter, I put powdered peanut butter (from netrition.com) into coconut oil bark. Shredded coconut too, but that's not really weird.

Great thread idea!

When I make braised chicken thighs, after they're cooked and I take off the skin in order the shred the meat, my DH takes the skins and bakes them in the oven until crispy. Wow, talk about a yummy snack - better than pork skins because the level of saltiness can be controlled. I bet a LOT of people would just gasp in horror at the idea of eating a bunch of crispy chicken skins!

Well it's not a big leap from "crispy chicken skins" to pork skins , which I love when other foods seem bland. Dipping them in some French onion dip is yummy, I'll have to try that next time I get one of the store rotiserary chickens.

One weird thing I've had is canned tuna with some lo carb BBQ sauce. If you don't think about it when eating, it's actually good and simpler that a pork roast.

Hmm, I don't know if any of my foods would qualify as especially "weird" but I do love sardines canned in olive oil as a yummy and easy snack. I always keep a few cans in my desk at work as if I get hungry there there are not a lot of LC options - though the newstand downstairs in the lobby does sell plain hard-boiled eggs, and 1.5 oz bags of raw, unsalted almonds - both of which I have bought to snack on from time to time.
