Re: Help me replace a family food tradition?

When my family does movie night everyone eats popcorn as well my snack is the pork rinds. I also get a scoop of sour cream and use that as my dip. The fat satisfies so quickly that the food being consumed around me doens't even phase me.

There is also cheese crisps and peperoni chips ........ their good but you can't have nearly as much!

Good luck finding the perfect snack for this night!!!!!! Just a word of caution on the cheese thing ....... remmeber the cheese allotment for a day is 3 oz ........ that goes quickly when sliced up with peperoni!

I was just thinking.. Make yourself MOCK Nachos... Take Porkrinds and lay them on a plate...add all sorts of stuff on top like Nachos and some Sour Cream..it would be yummy and help you through the Popcorn.. I also find like when I go to the movies I can resist the popcorn if I have had a Nice filling meal before hand

Completely different appetizer idea but super yummy...
zuccini sliced... dipped in egg, then dipped in parmasan cheese (fresh is best) and then fried in butter... (OMGosh!!!!! so good!)
and then stuffed mushrooms... I keep seeing recipes floating around here but I haven't tried them yet but they sound good too... I bet if you made them both your family would be all over them both!!! so you'd have to set some aside for YOU!!!!

Mexican frying cheese and marinara sauce make a good "cheese sticks" substitute.....
