Enjoy your holiday by prepping ahead! Try these make-ahead keto sides and enjoy your friends and family this Thanksgiving.
I think one of the hardest things about hosting a major holiday is timing. Having everything ready and hot to eat at the same time can be overwhelming. For me, it's hard enough to just keep the house clean with 4 kids underfoot let alone cook at the same time. I try to make as many things ahead of time as possible so that I only have to reheat sides and tend the meat.
I decided to put together a list of recipes you can make AT LEAST 24 hours ahead. These either reheat well or are eaten cold (pumpkin cheesecake, I'm looking at you).
APPETIZERS:
French Onion Tartlets - Low Carb, Grain Free, THM S
Bacon Cheddar Mini Cheese Balls
SIDES:
Best Ever Dairy Free Mashed Cauliflower
Cream Cheese Cauliflower Mashers with Asiago
Four Ingredient Cranberry Sauce - Sugar Free, THM FP
Healthy Green Bean Casserole Gluten-Free Low Carb
DESSERTS:
Pumpkin Pie Dump Cake - Low Carb, Grain Free, THM S

Wow, Taryn, i thought i should finally make the effort to tell you how much i appreciate your sending me your Keto creations to my email. Don't know how I was so lucky, but I forward them on to our 6 married children (trying to convert them!) Finally there are normal recipes with normal ingredients that are easy to make!! It really shouldn't be that hard! Thanks for proving that. As a former home ec teacher, I have managed to stay normal weight, but with a great deal of effort playing weight management teeter totter. I've been searching for the "holy grail of health" my whole life. Luckily it exists & its here! (was also in the olden days before processed food) KetoII And your recipes have made it SO Easy! Muchisimas Gracias! Your creations are benefitting mucho gente!

This recipe looks delicious. However, I need a substitution for mushrooms. I'm allergic and every recipe I've found has mushrooms. Just wondering. Thanks!
Taryn says
For the green bean casserole? You can omit the mushrooms.

But I like to learn new breakfast, lunch, dinner along with snack ideas. Also the holiday recipes would be great to receive also if you don't mind. Thank you!
