Making a plan for the Holidays

Whatever celebrations are scheduled, whatever feasts will occur, it is always good to have a solid plan. Odds are, you will be tempted, you will be pushed to try foods by your family members, you will be overwhelmed with decisions.

Having a plan is essential. Do you plan to eat keto? Do you plan to fast for some of the day? Do you plan to workout before or after? Ask yourself all these questions so you have a plan to stay on track!

I don't know about you, but in my family, this is the time of the year I see all of the casseroles. They are easy, they are savory, and they are perfect for a feast. Check out a few keto casseroles you could bring to your Christmas get-together.

• Keto Sweet Potato Casserole
• Green Bean Casserole

In my family, we do turkey for Thanksgiving, and a honey glazed ham for Christmas. I am not sure if that is how other families do it, but I am more of a ham person. We have an awesome Turkey and Gravy recipe if turkey is your thing. No matter the meat, there are always some great savory dishes like stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cornbread. There are also some great sauces to top dishes with. Here are some of my favorites:

• Low-Carb Cornbread
• Healthy Cranberry Sauce
• Low-Carb Stuffing

As you can see, there are so many great keto Christmas recipesto make for your holiday get-together!

Hopefully there will be other foods at your Christmas get-together that are safe to eat on the keto diet. We always have appetizers at my Christmas feast, and there are usually some great options for keto that won't send you too overboard on your carbs. Here are some tips to stay keto with common appetizers:

• A veggie tray(stick to the low-carb veggies)
• A fruit tray(stick to the low carb fruits - berries)
• A cheese & meat tray(these should be pretty safe)
• Deviled Eggs(these are usually lower in carbs)
• Party pickles(these are okay, but if they are sweet, they might be higher carb)

If your get-together doesn't include any of these, it might be nice to take your own keto-friendly appetizers likeSimple Deviled Eggs, a low-carb vegetable tray,Bacon Wrapped Asparagus, or a cheese and meat tray. You can even make some fancyPumpkin Seed CrackersorToasted Pecans with Bacon to snack on.

This fancy Prosciutto Wrapped Salmon will take your game up a notch and impress everyone at your celebration.

No matter the food, no matter the drinks, we all know that Christmas time is about spending time with loved ones and enjoying that time as best you can. Food can often times bring us together, so hopefully your family will love some of these recipes just as much as we do.

We wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday!
