They’re incredibly easy to make. Start by slicing the jalapeños in half. Then remove the seeds. Place onto a baking sheet, then cut the mozzarella cheese into 6 slices.  Place onto each of the jalapeños. Then in a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese and the rest of the mozzarella.

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis. While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

If you love Low Carb Appetizers, then you’ll want to try out these Bacon Crab Rangoon Fat Bombs.  They’re a bite-sized Fat Bomb that’s loaded with flavor and provides a nutritious hit of healthy fats.
