Is there a better combination than jalapenos, bacon, and cheese? If so, I haven’t found it. Jalapenos have quickly become one of my favorite foods. Scrambled eggs have always been a favorite. So why not combine them? I’ve always liked jalapenos but now things are in overdrive. They’ve been especially abundant at the farmers market outside of my house. I eat them with raw cheese, with slices of tomato, with prosciutto. I’m obsessed. My new favorite way to eat them is in my scrambled eggs. With bacon and cheese. Like a quicker and less messy version of a jalapeno popper. And I’m in love. Jalapeno Popper Scrambled Eggs Jalapenos have quickly become one of my favorite foods.

In Ditch The Diet I provide one simple snack idea everyday. So how in the world was I in my kitchen the other day talking to myself, saying “I’m hungry. But not that hungry. I want a snack. I can’t think of anything.” And then I realized I had eight weeks worth of snack ideas in DTD. I literally opened my computer and referenced my own program for snack ideas. Duh! I had prosciutto, and I had avocado. What a genius combinations. Salty from the prosciutto and creamy from the avocado. Protein and healthy fats to keep you satiated. Simply wrap some good quality prosciutto around slices of avocado. Is this not the simplest snack idea ever??
