I used to make these to bring to school to snack on when I was in Carlsbad.

Low Carb Turkey and Swiss BLT Roll-Ups

4 teaspoons heavy mayonnaise
1 head iceberg lettuce (4 outer leaves only)
1/4 pound sliced turkey (no sugar added)
1/4 pound precooked bacon strips (8 slices)
1 tomato, thinly sliced to make 8 slices
1/4 pound sliced Swiss cheese
Toothpicks

Spread about a teaspoon of mayonnaise on the inside of a large single outer leaf of iceberg lettuce. Place leaf on the counter and top with 2 slices of turkey breast, 2 bacon slices, 2 slices of cheese, and 1 to 2 tomato slices. Roll up like a burrito. Close with toothpicks and cut into pinwheels. Repeat to make 4 roll-ups.
Cook's Note: Try heating all but the lettuce and tomatoes in the microwave, and then roll up in the lettuce for a hot wrap with melted cheese.

Another good recipe from Foodnetwork.

That sounds like something I would like, I just love lettuce!

These are also great for brown bag lunches too.

Another great snack is wrapping a piece of turkey or ham around a dill pickle spear.

If I did that DH would be asking if the stork was coming! LOL

Pickles are good with everything.

[cat lover]

Oh I know! I keep a big jar of bread and butter pickles and dill spears in the refrgerator, but if I eat them with anything else he begins to wonder; a guy thing I guess! LOL

I never craved pickles with any of my pregnancies. I have to buy several jars of pickles when my children come visit because they like them more than I do. I love the kosher type the best.

[cat lover]

I din't either ,but it is just one of those guy things! LOL

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I guess we eat so many pickles here that it hasn't come up. Also, DH shoots blanks! lol

[cat lover]

That was funny!!!!LOL LOL

I know there are numerous recipes out there for Jalapeno poppers, but I wanted to share this one since its very tasty and has no breading to add extra carbs. I made these for guests tonight and everyone loved them. They make great party appetizers. They are also quite filling. I had two of them and some fruit as a meal

Sounds good!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Yummy, that is similar to my recipe for Armadillo Eggs except there is no cheddar cheese and I wrap raw bacon around the jalapenos after I fill them. Good to know another way.

[Yummys_Girl]

I have seen the armadillo eggs recipe and have it on my computer but havent tried it, yet Is the recipe you use the one that wraps sausage around the jalapenos after they are stuffed?

Its on my list of things to try. I try to do at least two new recipes a week, but my try soon list grows faster than I can shorten it =P

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Here's my recipe for Armadillo Eggs (http://www.momsmenu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93). I know when I mention them, others seem to know what I am talking about. However, I don't know if their's are like mine or not. No, mine do not have sausage, only jalapenos, cream cheese, and bacon.

[Yummys_Girl]

I'll have to retrieve mine and check. I seem to recall the one I have using sausage to wrap around the jalapenos. But then perhaps I am confuzzled :o

[DeBora4BobbyL]

If you find it, please share. What type of sausage does it use, do you remember?
