New to me - Cheese O's

Cheese O's - in Supervalu

So I'm back on keto for awhile now and am always looking out for new tasty snacks. 

Today in Supervalu while getting some strawberries and cream, I spotted these "Cheese Os"

I snapped up a packet and tasted them at home. 

My verdict is that they are pretty good. Extremely cheesey and very moreish. They taste like Cheese Whisps which I had on a recent trip to the States to visit my sister.

All in all a tasty snack and that's low carb and could make a keto snack depending on your metrics. Interestingly they are Irish made and I am noticing more Irish low carb products coming to market (Hello, Scratch my pork) which is great to see.

Hope you enjoy them too!

Ingredients: Cheddar Cheese

Nice and fatty with low carb

Available in lots of different flavours - see the Cheese O Website

Keto Friday

Friday Funday 

After spending the afternoon in the city doing a little bit of clothes shopping, I decided that I would make Keto Chicken Nuggets for dinner. So after finishing up my shopping I got the Luas home and stopped off in Supervalu to buy a few ingredients I needed. Unfortunately when I got home I realised that I had no eggs at home so I had to return to the shops to get some - for this trip I cycled on my bike which only takes a few minutes.

Clothes Shopping

Speaking of shops and shopping you are probably wondering what clothes shopping I did. Well, the reason I went to town was that I saw a nice black jumpsuit online in Mango that I thought would be perfect for the next PIGSY event. However, when I saw it in actuality and tried it on, it wasn't exactly right. So I headed on to TK Maxx and I bought a Fat Face dress there and also a silver jumpsuit. Then I went on to Zara where I bought a pair of black trousers along with a pair of navy work trousers in Dunnes Stores.

Anyway enough about clothes shopping, here's the pic of the Keto Chicken Nuggets that I made from this Keto Connect Recipe. I added a little cream cheese to the recipe which I felt would make them more moist.

Keto Chicken Nuggets

The Keto Chicken Nuggets were a great success and both of us tucked in to them along with a mayonnaise and hot sauce mix. However, I will say, tasty as they were, there was a lot of palaver to make them. It probably is not worth making these regularly - unless you need to feed them to children who are missing regular chicken nuggets. For me, I think I would have enjoyed chicken stuffed with something like peppers and onions fried off and then mixed with cream cheese and some Cajun spices just as much......that might be something I will cook this Sunday!

My Keto journey can be up and down and sometimes I  have fallen off the wagon over the last 7 years of following the Ketogenic Diet (probably what I do can be described as Dirty Keto diet). I follow Serious Keto and I find his story really helpful for staying committed. Have a watch here - there are 5 videos but all are worth watching. Going keto for him was life changing. 

Keto pizza night!

I had a hankering for a chilled out evening on Thursday as I was off on Friday so I made keto pizza!

Here's the recipe I followed from Diet Doctor

It was a big success with both Ciaran and I agreeing that it tasted really good. 

I doubled the recipe so made two - guess it will be pizza night again tonight!!

I used Janet's Pizza Sauce (available in Supervalu) for the pizza and topped with both cheddar & mozzarella cheese along with pepperoni, bacon & chicken.

This is the almond flour that I used - almond flour is pretty much ground almonds.

When you are buying your almond flour be sure and do a good price comparison.  One of these ground almonds was €9.95 per kg while the other was a whopping €32.90 per kg!!!

Guess which one I bought!
