CHEESY, BUTTERY GARLIC BREAD STICKS
These were seriously good! You can make them as a side with spaghetti meat served over stir-fried zucchini noodles, for instance. Remember how we used to love spaghetti or lasagna with a side of garlic bread? This is so naughty-tasting, which makes it even better! It is moist, garlicy, buttery and cheesy...wow, now I really want one of those, or maybe two right now!! I want to make them again soon; probably this next week! It is loosely based on a
previous recipe of mine and another I saw on the internet.I really liked it and even ate it for breakfast, it was so tasty. I saw my eldest son grab a piece, before breakfast as well, and he is not a low-carber.
Note: The nutritional analysis at the bottom is correct. 0.7 g carbs per bread stick. I made these again and am changing the amount of whipping cream to only 1 tbsp. You can use milk or almond milk too. With slightly less moisture, these bread sticks were a bit more bread-like. They are so good and I love them served warm now with this slight adjustment to the original recipe.

Helpful Hints: You
can play with this recipe. If you prefer
a thicker batter, and thus a bread that is not quite as moist, you can leave
the whipping cream out, however, I suggest trying it this way first.
