Keto Easter: How do you ketofy this holiday?

(Sophie) #9

My baby brother always fries a rabbit for Easter, but he’s twisted that way! :smile: And besides, it’s easy for him to go to a grocery store and purchase a rabbit (he’s in Chicago). Me, on the other hand, well, suffice it to say that I’d have to lay in wait out in the backyard with the gun. Not! So having said that, I did find some yummy looking lamb chops that were marked down at my Walmart so we’re having baby lambikins this year instead of piglet! I also do deviled eggs and I’ll have to see what else strikes my fancy. It’s just the two of us so it’s pretty much up to the cooks discretion, meaning I can do whatever I want.

Rabbit sounds good! I’ve never prepared it. Only had it in a restaurant.

Sadly, pre Keto, I loved PEEPS :woman_shrugging:

I don’t really know what “Easter” food would be. Colored eggs were always just hard boiled eggs for us. Candies, cookies, goodies and such can often be ketofied. Can’t say I was ever crazy about those marshmallow peeps.

Am I totally out of line if I said I wanted to byte that bunnies ears off?

I although I don’t celebrate Easter either our family uses that time to come together. I’m searching YouTube for a keto friendly ham, got one on sale for 5.00. my favorite cauliflower Mac and cheese with bacon and fried cabbage with bacon. I am thinking of yams with butter only but still just a thought.

This year we are not hosting anything. My sister hasn’t set her menu yet so we’ll wait and see and bring at least a keto side dish. She knows we eat low carb so I’m certain we’ll have options.

My dad is hosting the next day and we know there’ll be bbq ham. We’ve been asked to bring a green salad and are also bringing meatballs so we know we have more options. The other sides will be carb heavy so we will avoid those.

Easter breakfast will be at home and our time to go crazy with bacon, eggs, sausage, veggies, etc

Hubby and I are limiting chocolate to low carb and DD will get some chocolate but we’re reducing the mountain of sugar that she normally gets.

so did a trial run tonight of smoked dry rubbed ribs on the Traeger (wood pellet grill). Just got it fixed finally and the smoke never worked right. they turned out great so I’m going to go pickup a couple of racks of baby backs to replace the Easter ham. then i’ll just do some nice cheesy veggies on the side (au gratin cauliflower, cheddar broccoli, etc)

Lol. Not out of line on this forum! More likely you’ll have get in line with many other butter lovers to get a bite! :wink:

Sounds good! I was thinking of making a Keto lemon roll cake but maybe your cheesecake? Perhaps with lemon curd ? :thinking::grinning:

(Tamara Jo Palmer) #20

Sounds like a great plan! :grinning:

(Tamara Jo Palmer) #21

Mmm. I do miss yams/sweet potatoes!

(Tamara Jo Palmer) #22

Cheester Egg

Might have to bin the oat cakes and chutney though.
Still, I’ll chow down on some 90% Lindt if I want to.
