Worried about sticking to your low carb or keto diet during the holidays? It’s not just you. Every year, women (and men) with the best intentions slip a little. If you want to make sure that doesn’t happen to you – make a plan!

My first holiday season on keto was not easy.

My family didn’t get it – heck, my mom still can’t pronounce keto: It’s KEY-TOE, Mom!

I made it through by finding fabulous low carb recipes that tasted like the classics – Thanksgiving & Christmas recipes that most of my family members don’t even recognize as “diet”! (If you missed the keto Thanksgiving recipes I’ll forgive you, but you may want to circle back to that one later! Even if it’s just for my friend Kacey’s bacon wrapped turkey recipe!)

What I’m saying is that if this is your first year-err-holiday season on the keto diet you need to prepare for a challenge and come to the table with low carb recipes like these Christmas recipes I’m sharing today.

Here’s how I’ve organized this year’s Christmas feast: breakfasts, appetizers, sides, mains, and then, of course, dessert! To get to any of the recipes super fast just click on the image!

And please, enjoy!
