I perfect spot for your poison. Beware.

Lately I have been thinking about creating some videos for this blog and was wondering what types of videos might be more useful to my readers? What are your thoughts? Feel free to comment back if you want also.

    Thought I would pass this along. Planters makes natural peanut butter now. Maybe they always have, but I never saw it before. I love Planters because they really do use good peanuts. As for the butter, its really thick and sticks to the roof of your mouth. Its some of the more low carb peanut butter I have found too. Probably because they don't use as many fillers. Only 3 Carbs.

    Now I'm sure some of you feel that the Atkin's bars out there lean pretty close to candy bar territory at times. Maybe that's why I like them. They are sweet and they don't feel like a diet food at all. Some bars more than others walk that line depending on what's inside of them. Of the Atkin's bars The Carmel Chocolate Nut Roll is in my opinion the closest to a candy bar as they come. It's essentially a low carb Baby Ruth. Nougat, rolled in caramel, rolled in peanuts, cover in chocolate. It's good. I mean really, if you like Baby Ruths you will like this. Not sure if it's the norm, but most of the time when I have gotten these bars they are kind of chewy and hard. Could be the caramel or maybe just a bad couple bars. 

    It feels a little weird eating these in the morning on the go, like maybe you are breaking a rule or something. But its low carb so whats there to complain about really. Good little snack.

These tacos were good, then my sister in-law brought Trader Joes Guac and things got crazy!

    There's a great burger place near us called Slaters 50/50. We discovered it not too long ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. They specialize in using bacon in their burgers. One of the things that they have that really stands out from all other burger places is the peanut butter, jelly, and bacon burger. It's fantastic. The first time I had this burger I literally couldn't get it out of my head for 2 to 3 days afterwards.

    My wife and I got inspired with this burger and decided to see if we could come up with a low-carb version of it ourselves. I think it turned up pretty awesome. We grilled up some burgers put on a little bit of sugar free jelly with some low-carb peanut butter and wrapped it up in a tortilla with a couple strips of bacon inside. It was so easy I can't believe we had not done it sooner.

    If you decide you're going to try the peanut butter and jelly bacon burger there is a couple things you got to be sure to get right. The first thing is that you got to get the right jelly.  Get yourself some sugar free jelly and don't hesitate putting the right amount on. You want your burger sweet. The second thing is peanut butter.  Go for peanut butter that's more natural so it'll be low on carbs and something creamy so gets nice and melting and melts off the burger. We thought about using lettuce to wrap these things but it didn't seem appropriate seeing as how peanut butter and jelly were involved. We went ahead and went with the low-carb tortilla approach.

    These aren't the type of burgers you want to have every single day but they make for a nice treat and if you play your toppings right they can end up being a nice 5-10 carbohydrates  each. If you have the guts try them, i promise these will haunt your dreams.

Sunday morning breakfast has become a nice tradition in our house. Today was no exception. Yummy eggs and great bacon from our local grocery store.
