Keto Stuffed Jalapeños for 1

Image
This is honestly my first time having stuffed jalapenos. In my 35 years of existence....I never! Shocker, I know! But I used up half a brick of cream cheese and I needed to hurry up and use the last half before it expired and I found it! Only need 1/4 of the brick, I ended up using the other 1/4 for cheese and crackers. Ingredients: 3 jalapenos (I used canned pickled jalapenos) 2 oz cream cheese (1/4 of a brick) 2 tbsp shredded cheese generous pinch of garlic powder generous pinch of onion powder 3 slices of bacon (thick recommended) salt and pepper to taste orange pepper as topping Directions: Slice stem off jalapeno and vertically slice jalapenos. Scoop out the innards. Should have 6 pieces. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to a paste. Cut bacon in half to make 6 pieces. Fill each half with the cream cheese. Filling will be like playdough.  Wrap each of the 6 pieces with 1/2 slice of bacon. Set on parchment paper and

Mac and Cheese for 1

Image
Lovely side with some savory mac and cheese! Don't worry if you don't have the EXACT kind of cheese. Experiment! Half and half isn't necessary or you could make your own half and half if you have milk and heavy cream. I personally fried up some buffalo chicken wings to give my pasta a slight kick. You can too. Update: After making this recipe a few times, I feel it is more appropriate to include a recipe that truly fits a recipe for 1. The slightly bigger batch will immediately follow. Ingredients: 1/2 tbsp butter 1/2 tbsp flour 1/4 cup milk 1/4 cup half and half 1/16 tsp garlic powder 1/16 tsp mustard powder 3/4 cup shredded cheese 1/4 tsp hot sauce (optional) pinch of salt and pepper 2 oz of pasta (can vary slightly more if using a thicker noodle such as rotini) generous pinch of popcorn salt or french fry seasoing is optional for a boost of flavor Directions: 1. Melt butter in a small pot. In a separate pot, boil a small pot of water pouring in noodles once boiled. N
