Low Carb Homestyle Southern Bacon Gravy and Low Carb Biscuits for Breakfast, Brunch or Brinner

Low Carb Southern Bacon Gravy with Low Carb Biscuits
along with fried eggs, sugar free preserves and grape tomatoes

If we are truly what we eat, most Southerners would consist of half fried food and half cream gravy. I’m not lyin’ to you and yes, that includes the “New Southern Cuisine” movement.  And part of me deep down in my Southern soul, mourns. And feels shame about that. Yes, I grew up eating those foods. Yes, I love them. And yes, I still have a weight problem today, despite low carbing for 98% of 12 years.

(On the plus side, I have lost around 80lbs and the low carb lifestyle halted a PCOS-driven 8pound per month weight gain cycle I was locked into 12 years ago when I begain this way of eating.)

Yep, Southerners are as a region, some of the portliest people this side of the Mason Dixon. And we have some of the highest rates of diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, heart disease, many “-eases”. Jesus.

So why on earth, am I blogging about bacon gravy then? Yes, that’s bacon gravy in the picture there. Isn’t it a pretty sight? But aren’t I just contributing to the delinquency of Southerners the world-over

Texas Armadillo Eggs - Have Grill Will Travel

Sometimes Havin' A Plan, Especially a Plan for Leftovers Makes Life Easy.

Armadillo Eggs - Low Carb, Gluten Free and so good you
wouldn't give a hungry dog a bone! No sharesies!

This is a leftover love story. What I really mean is this is a love story about leftovers. Done correctly, "leftover" is not a four letter expletive! I actually love leftovers when they can be disguised and morphed into a completely different dish!

No. The chicken breasts in this story aren’t leftover! But the Armadillo Eggs themselves are meant to be leftover. So make lots, okay?

Armadillo Eggs taste divine in their own right, but used in the next recipe comin’ your way, well they become transcendent. You might just cry from taste bud overload.

But why are they called Armadillo Eggs, you might ask? Good question from the little lady in the first row. They’re big. Very big. And they’re egg shaped. And I don’t have a lot of creativity. Meh. And the name amuses the ‘boys.’ So they’re Armadillo Eggs.
