Grilled Cheese sandwiches are an American classic.  All of April is considered Grilled Cheese Month (does that mean we can have grilled cheese every day that month and not feel guilty?  And National Grilled Cheese day is April 12th.

Mexican Queso Fundido...

And then there's grilled cheese with fruits like apples, blueberries and pears - Apple Cheddar and Bacon Jam, Blueberry Balsamic Brie and Spinach and... 

Pear, Fig and Proscuitto...  ​

and don't forget Vegetarian grilled cheeses with this Caramelized Onion and Spinach Grilled Cheese 

I've even made desert grilled cheeses - Roasted Strawberry Cheddar and Chocolate​.  In case you were wondering, chocolate does make everything taste better.

A few days ago, I asked on my Facebook page for inspiration for what sauce to put on pizza other thank tomato sauce and pesto as I had just made Keto chicken pizza crusts.

I got tons of suggestions, like blue cheese sauce (this definitely sounds interesting and will have to try it in the near future), mashed up avocado w/ olive oil and spices, olive oil and garlic (several people suggested this one), Alfredo sauce, barbecue sauce (quite a few suggestions for this one as well), salsa, roasted red pepper sauce, ranch, red onion jam, enchilada sauce, fig jam, sliced tomatoes, and white clam sauce. 

I felt like having pizza for lunch today, so I went to the suggestions to see what to make.  I had just done some batch cooking yesterday and one of the dishes I made was Pinchos Morunos Chicken so I decided on the barbecue sauce for the base, added mozzarella, the chicken, red onion.  And then when it came out of the oven, I drizzled avocado ranch dressing.

It was absolutely amazing.  All of the flavors just melded together.

I'll definitely be making this combo again.

Have you ever tried barbecue sauce on your pizza?  What do you like to put for sauce on your pizza?  Let me know in the comment.

September 11, 2001 - a day that changed America forever.

I went to Costco today.  It was only the 2nd time I've been there since Gary passed away.  It was a little sad because we always went to Costco together.  

I don't normally go down the frozen food aisle that has the ice cream, but today I did.  And I'm so happy that I did, because I found these Sea Salt Caramel Keto bars with only 2G net carbs.

The Ketogenic diet is expanding and becoming more and more mainstream, even more so than when I started my Keto journey just over 2 years ago.

Some of the other Keto ice cream brands out there, I don't really care for or they give me some digestive problems (tummy gurgles big time) after I eat them.  But these ... are delicious and not after effects. 

But back to these ice cream bars.  It was $11.99 for 12 bars - so about $1/bar which is not too bad.  Even when I get Enlightened Ice Cream Bars (the mint is my favorite) on sale, it's $1.25 per bar.

I’m a big fan of sea salt caramel, so I was immediately intrigued and decided to give them a try.
