A Low Carb or Keto Friendsgiving
Maybe you’re looking for a way to gather your low carb friends together and enjoy a Friendsgiving meal together. If you’ve never heard of Friendsgiving, it’s about time you hear of it! Friendsgiving is when friends gather together around a Thanksgiving-style meal (instead of gathering with family).
I’ve celebrated Friendsgiving for the past 10 years and LOVE this tradition. So, these recipes are ones that would be great to take to a Friendsgiving!
If you are hosting a Friendsgiving (or just attending) and want to skip the part of cooking a turkey or ham, consider getting some rotisserie chickens! This is what we do for our Friendsgiving!
