Determinedtolose · 06-26-2008, 05:55 PM

Sounds like "breakfast of champs"

Blessedmom23 · 06-26-2008, 05:57 PM

Keep talking and maybe I will be persuaded to try them and gett past the whole "skin of a pig" thing......

Prozak · 06-26-2008, 05:59 PM

Determinedtolose · 06-26-2008, 06:00 PM

Oh I forgot I did this last week! I made the cinnamon and splenda/butter thing and added unsweetened cocoa to the c&s mixture mixed it up with the pork rinds and butter. It was really good!!

Determinedtolose · 06-26-2008, 06:01 PM

Oh yeah Prozak!!! Now you're talking!!!

BufoDieter · 06-26-2008, 06:10 PM

OMG! You guys are killing me with all the great ideas!

Mmmmmmmmmmm...Naaaachoooooos........... *drool*

I am SO having PR nachos tomorrow!

loozin'it · 06-26-2008, 06:28 PM

7 hour road trip tomorrow "the rinds" are already in the car.

Prozak · 06-26-2008, 06:30 PM

oh I almost forgot, we used to call them "Piggy Puffs" when I was a kid, maybe that was a brand name LOL

SashimiMark · 06-26-2008, 07:34 PM

These are all awesome ideas. I still can't get past cinnamon pork crunch though. That's just ridiculous. And dangerous. I LOVE that cereal. I'm glad I could only find one bag of pork rinds.

SashimiMark · 06-27-2008, 07:57 AM

Guess what I'm having for breakfast.

Bacon-wrapped pork rinds with almond milk?

SashimiMark · 06-27-2008, 08:07 AM

Close! I'm walking the house singing Cinnamon Pork Crunch!

Thanks for the awesome idea, Prozak

Goofy!! Did you fix it in a "jethro" bowl! LOL!!!

I think I'll have that for lunch now! I have some of that low carb milk. I hope it's still good.

SashimiMark · 06-27-2008, 08:21 AM

I'm really liking the blue diamond almond breeze. It's only 1g per cup. But man is it $$$.

HolyHottie · 06-27-2008, 08:23 AM

I pay 1.99 for this. How much u pay?

(almond breeze)

Prozak · 06-27-2008, 08:25 AM

I am awaiting the day Mark figures out how to make a spoon, to go with a bowl, out of bacon.

Pork rind cereal for breakfast, and NO DISHES TO DO!!

TennisBum · 06-27-2008, 08:25 AM

Just went to Big Lots and picked up some Chiccarones. Think I'm gonna have some chicken nachos tonight!

Lisa Rae · 06-27-2008, 08:28 AM

If you really want to taste THE most amazing pork rinds ever..try going to a local mexican meat market where they make them fresh daily! Oh man..these are like nothing from a package! They also sell chicharonis ( sp is way off..but don't have time to go look it up LOL) which is the pork skin with some prok still on roasted...it's crunchy yet chewy and oh my goodness...unbelievable!!!!!

I Just made carnitas last night in my crock pot..whiich we ate with sour cream, avacado in lettuce wraps.

Just get a big pork roast....add 1/2-1 cup of chicken broth ( enough for 1/2 inch of liquid at the bottom BEFORE you put in the roast. Add 4-5 cloves of crushed garlic and set on low for about 6-8 hours. I set it before I go to work..and have my kid turn it off when he gets home ( so from 9 am-3pm) there is nothing like it!

SashimiMark · 06-27-2008, 08:29 AM

I paid $1.99 for mine as well, but that seems pricey to me for only 1 qt. I've made my own before, but not sure that's worth doing.

I don't think those bacon bowls are leak-proof.

diannemc · 06-27-2008, 08:34 AM

We had a person here in Kosciusko, MS that makes them to sale the company is called Dixon/Central and they are the best!!!! He makes plain, BBQ, salt and vinger and HOT ones..He is working on other flavors...They are wonderful!!!!!Dixon's/Central Snacks

BufoDieter · 06-27-2008, 05:00 PM

I just finished a plate of PR Nachos for supper. Oh.My.Goodness. They were WONDERFUL! I just put shredded cheese on them, melted it under the broiler, added some sour cream and taco sauce. YUMMY!

AND... they kept me from diving into the pizza the kids were eating tonight. Ya gotta love that!

I make my own almond milk at home. Cheap and super easy!!

somethingblue2u · 06-27-2008, 06:31 PM

I just had the cinnamon pork rind crunch. It is almost like cinnamon toast crunch cereal, totally awesome.

SashimiMark · 06-27-2008, 08:22 PM

Man that stuff is so dangerous for me. I could easily down an entire bag of pork rinds and a box of almond milk in one setting.
