How to make crispy cheese pickle chips

We made a fantastic Crispy Keto snack using pickles and cheese!  If you are doing keto I can guarantee you that you miss a good crunch!  This crunch hits the spot you’ve been missing!

This is a spin off of our Chaffle Pickle sticks recipe we make in our mini waffle iron but this recipe is only 3 ingredients and uses a muffin pan to bake chips!

How to make crispy cheese pickle chips

  • Muffin pan (regular size or mini)
  • Shredded cheese (I used a Mexican blend)
  • Thin sliced dill pickles
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional – you can use any seasoning you want)
  • Pieces of paper towel (to blog and drain)

Instructions to make crispy cheese pickle chips

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon shredded cheese into a non stick muffin pan.
  3. Place one pickle on top of the shredded cheese.
  4. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon shredded cheese on top of the pickle.  It won’t cover it completely and that’s okay.
  5. Sprinkle each chip with Everything bagel seasoning if using.  Note:  you can use any seasoning you want you you can bake them without any seasoning.  I want to encourage you to try them both ways.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 6 minutes or until the edges of the cheese are dark brown and all the cheese has fully melted.
  7. I’ve noticed the silicone pans take about 3 minutes longer to get those crispy edges.
  8. These cheese should be bubbling and flat.  If the cheese is not bubbling they will not turn out crispy.  Be sure not to take them out of the oven too soon.  If you do it will just be melted cheese and it didn’t have enough time to form a cheese crust that holds the chip together.  The darker brown the cheese the crunchier the chip.

I’ve tried making these in both size pans and they are equally good.  The metal pans that are non stick work best and cook the castes with the perfect crust every time!

How To Make Old Fashioned Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

This dish brings back so many childhood memories that I literally sat here for 30 minutes in a daze just remembering some of them. Like there was the time we were harvesting cabbages from our garden and we each got to pick a single plant that we were in charge of to take care of.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of green cabbage
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

How To Make Old Fashioned Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Remove the core from the cabbage and carefully separate the leaves. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the cabbage leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Remove the leaves from the water and set aside to cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, cooked rice, onion, parsley, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each cabbage leaf. Roll the leaf up, tucking in the sides, to create a neat package.
  5. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine diced tomatoes, beef broth, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Place the stuffed cabbage rolls into the pot and spoon some of the sauce over the top.
  7. Cover the pot and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until the cabbage is tender and the meat is cooked through. Serve warm.

How To Make Easy Cabbage Soup

Have you ever looked in your fridge and the only vegetable in good shape looking back at you is a single head of cabbage? Cabbage is like that; it can outlast almost any other vegetable. Now even if all you have in your fridge is some cabbage, there are only a few more pantry ingredients you need to make this easy, nourishing, and light cabbage soup.

This cabbage soup recipe does the impossible: it uses an entire head of cabbage in one go! Nearly every time I buy a cabbage, I whittle away at it for weeks, adding some to a slaw, some to a bowl, more to a taco, and so on. So the first time I made this cabbage soup recipe, I was shocked. I started by adding half of my cabbage. As it wilted down, it melted into the soup with the aromatic veggies and herbs. I didn’t want it to disappear – I was making cabbage soup, after all – so I added more. Before I knew it, every last ounce of my cabbage was in the pot!

Ingredients

  • 1 large cabbage.
  • 2 small onions diced
  • 2 cans of stewed tomatoes.
  • 1 pouch Lipton Onion Soup Mix any flavor.
  • 1 large celery chopped very small.
  • Ground beef

How To Make Easy Cabbage Soup

  1. Fill a large saucepan halfway with water, bring to a boil, then add the vegetables, then bring to a simmer.
  2. Cook 1-2 pounds of burger separately draining any fat.
  3. Add any spices you like and Lipton soup mix.
  4. Add the meat, simmer for a few more minutes then taste 😋

This soup is great for all of us, especially on rainy days!
