Oops. I already cheated today. Such is life. There is nothing harder to resist than a free meal. So when that meal has carbs in it I'm not great a saying no. We had chicken shawarma sandwiches. They were wrapped in a big pita so I managed to just eat half the pita. Although it was not on the low carb list it is important to make good food choices I am not going to beat myself up for the meal. I didn't go crazy and eat half a pizza (which we certainly have been known to do when we fall off the low carb wagon). So next up was a little snack I have been wanting to make which is fried pickles. Hope you enjoy!
Fried Pickles:
4 Pickle Spears
1 Egg
2 T Almond milk
2 T Shredded Coconut
2 T Almond Meal
Pat pickles in a paper towel to dry them off. Mix Egg and Almond Milk together. I added some tabasco sause and cayenne peper. Mix shredded Coconut and Almond meal together ins separate bowl. Coat the pickle in egg mixture and then Coconut mixture. Then heat up pan with oil. I used some reserved bacon grease and didn't even need to fill the bottom of the pan. Cook each side until brown and crispy on medium heat about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
These would be great with some spicy ranch but I didn't have the foresight to make it or the patience to wait. They disappeared very quickly.
