Side note before we begin: Keto is gaining major popularity for its ability to help balance blood sugar, hormones, and weight. Because it focuses on fat, and moderates proteins and carbs, but it can be hard to know what specifically to eat when you didn’t prepare the food yourself.
If you are looking for more information on the Ketogenic diet, I bought this book “The Keto Diet” from LeAnne Vogel and it helped me thoroughly understand what the Ketogenic diet does to my body and what steps I need to take exactly. Until I bought this book I didn’t quite understand Keto all the way and that’s way I recommend it for anyone looking to get serious about it!

Meatballs are alwasy a good choice for an appetizer because you can serve them in your slow cooker in the sauce. I like making a ton of meatballs at once.

Parties always have chips but these zucchini chips make a great substitute for the regular potato chips.
