Parmesan Cheese Crisps : Seasoned





Over the last 6 months I have changed the way I eat completely. Which has resulted in me losing 18 pounds.  "I am down one more pound since my last update."  
I have always been a healthy eater but I consumed way more sugar and foods that are full of chemicals than my body could handle.  This Lifestyle change started as a support system for my husband who was doing a low carb diet that was suggested to him by his doctor. This particular diet was what he wanted Kevin to to help monitor his cholesterol. My goal in life now is to never be on any medicine, so I want to eat the best way I can and maintain a healthy body weight.  Deciding on the weight you would like to be  is a personal choice.  When choosing what weight you would like to achieve, talk with your Doctor.  Also, If you are loosing more than 20 pounds please do not try to loose it in 2 weeks or even two months. Starving yourself  is just not at all healthy and the weight will come right back when you inevitably have to start eating again.
 I am talking about a change in how you think about food, detoxing off of sugar and chemicals and making your body function the way it should.When you go this route please don't do any fat free or sugar free foods.  Foods like this  are all modified and full of terrible chemicals that your body can not process. I also want to highly suggest if you are drinking any diet drinks or anything with aspartame in it please stop. It is just pure poison. 
Your body cannot process the chemical and it stays in your
 nervous system messing up everything.
But that is a whole other story. 
Let's talk about this crunchy, yummy snack that is low carb and delicious.
I crave crunchy salty things sometimes and Chips are out of the question for me, so I have a great alternative and it is these Parmesan cheese crisps. 
These crisps are super easy and can be made in big batches and eaten later. 
I have to stress that using the best ingredients is the key,
 the better the ingredients the better your food will taste.
 It might be a $1.00 or two more but  you are worth it.
 I never understood while people pay top dollar for makeup but eat the cheapest food to save money. This is the beginning of you looking and feeling better spend the extra money on your health.



 Ingredients


 A block of Parmesan cheese, Organic if available. 
You can also get the pre-grated kind of cheese
 but choose Sargento or something organic or all natural.
*Grater : medium or fine.
Non stick baking sheet
Aluminum foil
Spices of your choice
I used Cayenne
and Italian 



Grate your cheese
 Place cheese on a non stick baking pan in small round shapes, about one inch around.
Sprinkle with your favorite seasoning.
Just a touch of seasoning is all you need.
Bake at 350 for 5 minutes at or until crispy brown.
 Place on some aluminum foil to cool


Enjoy with an apple of by themselves.
 They are also great with soups, tuna.
and on top of salads instead of croutons.

I will be sharing more of my lifestyle change recipes this Holiday season.
If you have any questions about what I am doing please email me.
Lots of love to you all this Sunday.

  1. Hi Anne, Thanks for sharing this, it is right up my alley. I love hearing about life changing ideas and the fact that it is working for you as well. I struggle with sweets and wish I could give them up, but I seem to always fall back into the sugar bin. I will try this recipe and any others you are willing to share, and maybe it will give me a kick in the sugar bowl. Love your videos, photos and am a great fan of yours. Have a great day and many Hugs to you.

  5. I'm going to try this recipe. I don't know if you have tried what my kids used to call cheeseon it is an alternative to bacon. Take slices of provolone cheese, a nonstick skillet and cook each slice of provolone until brown on both sides. You can make it as crispy as you like or not. I used it in so many recipes but the favorite with my daughter and son was a CLT which replaces your BLT. I use Sargento or a good organic provolone.
