Is this your first summer holiday since starting keto? Are you paralyzed by the thought of feeding your carb loving friends and family sugar free, gluten free, and low carb foods?

I was there once. It can be an anxiety inducing dilemma.

“Will they know this is sugar free?” 

“Will they just pretend to like it so they don’t hurt my feelings?”

“What if no one eats any of this and I’m stuck with all this food?” (actually, that’s not a terrible problem to have lol)

The good news? Those feelings are 100% preventable with the right keto cookout recipes!
