Yummy Low Carb Football Snacks
Time for the playoffs!
My KC Chiefs made it to the playoffs, and of course that means we have to have snacks for the watch party! Normally I would make a bunch of high carb goodies to enjoy, but since my husband and I have been low-carbing it for the past two weeks, I had to get creative. What could I make to satisfy the snack cravings? Pork rinds dipped in French Onion dip is relatively low carb (just a couple of carbs for 2 tablespoons of the dip), but my husband doesn’t care for pork rinds. Okay, I will make sausage/cream cheese jalapeno poppers, and try my hand at making a low carb pizza dough for some homemade pizza. I’ll post my recipe for each one, starting with the easy jalapeno poppers.
Jalapeno Poppers
Perfect low-carb snack for football games or anytime! Approximately 3 carbs for each serving size of 2 halves.
Low-carb pizza with a modified Fathead Dough
I have heard before of a low carb dough using mozzarella cheese, but never tried it before. I’ve made the chicken crust pizza dough (which is great), and tried the cauliflower crust (not a fan of cauliflower). For this recipe I split the dough to make two smaller pizzas.
In the following recipe, I inadvertently said to place butter and cream cheese in microwave. This was meant to say butter and mozzarella cheese. Please take note of this. 🙂
Modified Fathead Pizza Dough
This is a modified version of the popular fathead dough, used as a low-carb pizza crust. With only 3 carbs for a large slice, this is a great option for those pizza cravings!
