I love the holiday season. The colder weather, the parties, gifts & especially the FOOD! I am a stuffing maniac and I live for leftover turkey sandwiches. But all this holiday celebrating definitely leaves me bloated and to be honest with a 15 lb weight gain.
To combat my typical #holiday15 I am calling the big guns of low-carb holiday cooking. The recipes included in this holiday low carb roundup have all been taste tested by me and with amazing results. Now I’m not going to lie and say these recipes taste exactly like the originals, BUT they are incredibly delicious and if you do want to watch your intake around the holidays, these are the perfect substitutes.
East Ham & Cheese Appetizer
These rollups are perfect as an easy appetizer. They are quick, budget friendly and are a great finger food.

Cauliflower Rice Stuffing
Stuffing is my favorite part of a holiday meal. I can eat pounds of it myself over the course of a day – this is not an exaggeration. We have started making double the amount of stuffing because me & my sisters just can’t help ourselves. To get our favorite holiday staple on the healthy train, I’ve tried this cauli stuffing – it is a great dish and sure to please. I did add double the poultry seasoning but other than that a great stuffing!

Hello – I’m just starting the Keto diet and was wondering if it still works if I don’t eat as much fat as required? My carbs are under 20G and protein higher…will it still work? Thank you!
Hi Sophie. It will! You do t have to eat all the fat in a day. The fat just helps to keep you satiated, it’s not a goal.
