When doing keto, you know how tough it is to go to parties with all the food that you can’t eat. You stand there staring longingly at the beautiful spread. You can either give in…or fight it and realize there are some great options. Oh! There is a crudité platter…check! Cheese plate, awesome! What we find helpful is to bring food we can eat to share with others. One of the biggest hits is sausage balls! Here we’ve given you two different variations we know are going to your party guests are going to ravage! Continue reading Keto Sausage Balls – 2 variations!

Bloody Mary Shrimp Cocktail (keto/low carb)
What party isn’t complete without shrimp cocktail?! And what is a brunch without Bloody Mary’s? Here we are combining the flavors of a shrimp cocktail and a bloody mary – best of both worlds and super easy to make. Plus you’ll stay on your keto plan and no one will be the wiser. 😉 Continue reading Bloody Mary Shrimp Cocktail (keto/low carb)
Keto/Low Carb Amen Wings (Smoked or Oven version)
How have we gone this far and not done a post on wings!? Buffalo wings are so readily available and usually a good low carb appetizer option for going out to eat – just stay away from anything saying ‘sweet’ or ‘honey’. One restaurant based here in Austin makes my favorite sauce – a combo of part BBQ sauce/part Wing sauce and with diced pickled jalapenos for some heat. It is so amazing that we decided to recreate it…Keto-style! Continue reading Keto/Low Carb Amen Wings (Smoked or Oven version)
Spicy Cilantro Ranch Dip
There is this amazing Tex-Mex restaurant that originated in Austin (now has many locations all over the U.S.) that we go to quite often. I don’t think we’ve had one dish there that we don’t like. One of the highlights is they serve an amazing creamy jalapeno dip. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love this dip. You have to request it, but you do, you won’t be disappointed. It’s got a slight heat and a zing that just has such a perfect balance of flavors. After doing some research we have come up with our own version of this dip – you’re welcome! 😁 Continue reading Spicy Cilantro Ranch Dip
French Deviled Eggs
Perhaps the most perfect appetizer is a deviled egg. Those little gems are super low in carbs, packed with delicious protein and always a hit at a party (usually the first to go)! Lately we’ve been noticing quite a trend for restaurants as well – always having some fancy form of this on their small bites menu. To change this up a bit we came up with our version that we’re calling French Deviled Eggs. I actually wanted to name them French DeVIL’d Eggs, but figured I might get kickback (like it’s the FRU-ETS of the DEV-EEL). Bonus points if you get that reference. 😆 Continue reading French Deviled Eggs
