Thank you for your recipes! I began eating this way (no sugar, no grain) in 2013 due to the diagnosis of a sliding hiatal hernia. (long story). however, back then, finding recipes and ingredients was so difficult. I slowly began finding people whose recipes I could trust (there were LOTS out there that I wasted ingredients as well as time and money trying). You have been a wonderful blessing to me! I trust your recipes! Thank you!
I understand you are going through a tough time right now. I am praying for you. When you are ready, I’d love to see if there is a way I can work with you. Until then, hold your children close…and I’ll be praying for God to comfort your heart.
Thanks so much.
hi am desperate for a ginger snap biscuit recipe please
Please use the search box on my blog, as I already have one.
You include a link to Swerve for your Cranberry Cheesecake Pie which has always been one of my favorites but it’s no longer available on their website. When a sponsor no longer publishes one of your recipes can you add it to your recipes? I now not only pin your recipes but print them in pdf form so they’ll always be available.
Looks wonderful Carolin! Thank you very much!
Carol, you are so amazing and so generous with these recipes. Thank you so much! Keto has changed my life for the better!
We were just planning our Thanksgiving menu shopping yesterday & your Thanksgiving recipes came at the perfect time! Everything sounds so good that I’ll need to be sure to limit how many dishes I make. Thank you!
Carolyn, is there a cookbook or ebook that I can purchase for these TG recipes? I want them all! Thank you got all that do and share!
Not at this time, no… but I have been considering it!
I second the request for a Thanksgiving Holiday Keto Cookbook. And one for Christmas meals too!
Here’s a third request for the holiday cookbook.
By the way, the baking book is fantastic!! Thanks for doing that one.
And I am making the fourth request! I also love your baking cookbook, but because my best friend took one look through it and also loves it, I ended up giving her my copy and now need to purchase another one for myself! Ha ha! I think putting together Holiday cookbooks is a great idea. Especially if they are the soft cover type that aren’t quite as expensive that you see in the checkout lines at the grocery stores.
I have all your cookbooks and would love a Thanksgiving/Christmas cookbook.
Thank you for compiling these awesome recipes and helping us stay on our Keto lifestyles 🙂

If I wanted to use pre-packaged coconut flour or keto bread, how much do we use in place of your skillet bread? Number or slices or ounces?
Good question. I’d think you’d want the whole loaf.
We have nut allergies so I was wondering if quinoa flour could substitute for almond and coconut flours
I have never used quinoa flour, I honestly don’t know. Sorry.
Thank you so much. I am new to Keto for health reasons, and have only been doing it for two weeks. I needed some Thanksgiving recipes to add to the table. I made the sausage stuffing with the cheese bread, the green beans and mushroom sauce, the mashed cauliflower, and the pumpkin cream pie. The cauliflower and the pie were more popular than the unhealthier versions that were also on the table! It was also nice to have leftovers today that fit into my new eating habits ????
I am delighted to hear it! Welcome to the wonderful world of keto living.
I think you should include your pumpkin tiramisu on the dessert list! I was thinking about inventing my own pumpkin tiramisu recipe, but decided to do a search first and your recipe popped up. Since it was your recipe I knew it would be good. Thanks for sharing all of your hard work!
This is an amazing resource! Thanks for including my Brussels Sprouts recipe! Have a great holiday Carolyn.
