X Tragedy Husbands (Atlas x Faolan, DnD/CoC)

love as tenderness

[ love as gentleness after a lifetime of cruelty ] when ocean vuong said "sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined" and when pablo neruda said "like a jar you housed the infinite tenderness and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar" and when anais mitchell wrote "all i've ever known is how to hold my own, and now i wanna hold you, too”

X Never Fade Away (Nova x Kerry, Cyberpunk 2077)

love as light

[ love as a luminous force—warm, radiant, and golden ] when mary oliver wrote "light of the world hold me” and when charles bukowski said “I look at her and light goes all through me” and when david viscott said “to love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides”and when e. e. cummings said “lovers alone wear sunlight”

X Across the Stars (John x Kaidan, ME)

love as being known

[ love is knowing all of someone and loving them anyway ] when tim kreider said "if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known" and when joe wright said "The idea that these two people know each other, knew each other when they first saw each other. That they recognized each other from their future" and when micah nemerever said "it was a relief and a horror to be known so perfectly"

1. why did you choose your url?

coepi te amare means i have begun to love you in latin. i first heard it from a rixythewraith ff with double b and i’ve used it in a lot of things ever since. 

2. any sideblogs? if you have them name them and why you have them

estbellumsacrum - my personal. there’s just a lot of art and things that are too sad to be here. 

3. how long have you’ve been on tumblr?

uhm i had my first tumblr in 2014? in 10th grade. but this one, i made in January 2020. 

4. do you have a queue tag?

yup! exqueue you

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

i started writing fanfics in highschool, but stopped. i wanted a way to keep myself writing and accountable and motivated, so i started this!

6. why did you choose your icon?

because i love jungkook. hehe

7. why did you choose your header?

because i love him. but also, it looks kind of whimsical and magical. 

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

uhm probably “you have (1) new voicemail”

9. how many mutuals do you have?

i have no idea tbh

10. how many followers do you have?

300 something!

11. how many people do you follow?

233

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

uhm not on here, but yes. yes i have

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

uhhh i used to be on it consistently. now a days, maybe once or twice a day?

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

not to my knowledge!

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

i feel a lot. i’m not just going to reblog things for the sake of reblogging, especially when i’m not educated on the topic and could be spreading false information. when i think it’s important, i’m going to do my research and educate myself. i do understand the importance of signal boosting, so i can understand where the “you NEED to reblog” part comes from, but at the end of the day, social media is also (especially tumblr) a form of escape. let people have whatever blogs they want, as long as they’re not hurting or harming anyone. 

16. do you like tag games?

yuh 

17. do you like ask games?

yes yes yes

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

uhhhh tbh, everyone? all of my mutuals are really talented, and i think all of them deserve the world. but uhm...i asked my friend who doesn’t have a writing blog on tumblr and she knows @underthejoon and @bratkook

19. do i have a crush on a mutual?

don’t we all? (but in all honesty, she inspired “love letters i cannot send”)

[beomboncito]

Hello! Could you please do a Oliver Jackson-Cohen header? I found your tumblr recently and your work is sooooooo pretty! I wish I could ask for some lockscreens of him too but I don't want to bother you! xD THANK YOOOOU!

hi love! here they are, hope u like them. and thank you so much, i really appreciate this ❤️ and don't be shy, it may take a little bit, but i'm happy making them <3

I was tagged by @hobeymakar

name/alias: Kirsten

birthday: november 7th

zodiac sign: scorpio sun and scorpio moon

favorite colors: all shades of pink, pastel colors, black and gray

hobbies: writing poems and songs, reading, listening to music, going to concerts, baking

last song you listened to: TBD because I’m listening to music while writing this out (currently listening to Bastille)

last movie you watched: I watched a Lifetime movie with my mom this past Saturday (it’s our thing) and I forgot what it was called but it was kinda bad

favorite books: We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach, Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver, Panic by Lauren Oliver Ten by Gretchen McNeil, the entire Pretty Little Liars series, Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon, The Sun is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon, The Astonishing Color by Emily X.R Pan, Notes to Self by Connor Franta, We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, The Merciless Series by Danielle Vega (I read a lot of YA fiction so if you have any recs for me, send them my way please and thank you😌)

something that helps people: one of my favorite Bible verses is John 1:5. It says “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it”. This verse reminds that even though, things get dark and bad, there’s always a light that shines through the dark in life. This light (Jesus) shines with a purpose and won’t go out.

meaning behind url: If you don’t already know, I’m a HUGE Hippo Campus fan and the word, “buttercup” comes from their song. Josh comes from Josh from twenty one pilots, which another band that I love. (It’s also why my profile is a picture of Josh and my background/header is Hippo Campus). I’ve had this url for a few years and I lowkey want to change it to something different but at the same time, I really like it at.

If you see this on your dash, feel free to fill it out and tag me. (I can’t think of 8 people to tag and I would much rather have anyone do it instead of me choosing people)

Best Keto BBQ Recipes and Tips

Best Keto BBQ Recipes and Tips

As Labor Day approaches, people are gearing up for the last big blowout of the summer—and if you’re cutting carbs, you can definitely still be included. Here are some of the best keto BBQ recipes and tips to ensure you have a blast.

The ketogenic diet shows no signs of waning in popularity, but it can be hard to stick to keto guidelines around holidays—particularly holidays where a lot of food is sure to be present—and we’re not just talking Thanksgiving (aka, prime time for mashed potatoes).

The keto diet prioritizes low-carbohydrate intake and permits a higher intake of fats, the goal being to trick your body into metabolizing fat—because if you’re not eating carbs there are none there for your body to break down—to use as energy instead of storing it.

Because fats (read: meats) are still allowed, navigating the food situation on a grilling-heavy holiday like the 4th of July or Labor Day isn’t as difficult as you may think. There are just a few hidden pitfalls to be aware of.

Things you can eat for a keto BBQ:

If your friends are grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, by all means—indulge! Just make sure to skip the bun and instead opt for a lettuce wrap. You can also add on bacon, cheese, and avocado slices.

Plain grilled proteins like chicken and steak are also fine, as long as they’re not slathered in sugary sauce (bring your own keto BBQ sauce if you want to be sure you have a compliant condiment option).

For sides, make sure you’re incorporating lots of leafy greens. You can also indulge in fats—so bacon and cheese are still on the table. Ditto avocado. Just make sure you’re using low-carb veggies to scoop up guac (like cauliflower, broccoli, bell peppers, and cucumber slices).

You can even have beer if you focus on low-carb beer options. That said, if you want to drink, sticking to liquor—in moderation—will be your best bet.

Foods to avoid: 

Of course you know to lose the buns, but make sure you also avoid corn, potatoes, carrots, wheat (i.e., no conventional pasta salad), and rice as much as you can.

You may think that all fruits are still an option, but make sure you stick to berries and avoid apples and bananas (probably pretty easy in summer, when red and blue berries are in such high supply).

Also, in addition to regular sugar, make sure to avoid honey, agave syrup, and other sweeteners that might sneak into desserts that you’re eyeing (or even into fruit salad and BBQ sauce).

Keto BBQ Recipes

Still concerned about having a satisfying keto cookout? Don’t worry—we’ve rounded up some low-carb BBQ recipes that will be as delicious as they are festive.

Low Carb Cauliflower Potato Salad

View this post on Instagram

Today on my stories I demonstrated how I make my favorite cauliflower faux-tato salad, and it’s so good and easy to make! I also made it a highlight video, so check it out. Here’s the recipe: Nancy’s Cauliflower Faux Tato Salad 1 16 oz bag frozen cauliflower, steamed, drained, and cut into bite sized pieces. To the warm cauliflower add 1/2 Tbsp. white vinegar and 1/4 tsp. salt and stir. Mix 1/2 C mayo with 1 tsp. yellow mustard and stir into cauliflower, then add 3 diced hard boiled eggs, 6 diced pieces cooked bacon, and 1-2 Tbsp. finely diced red onion. Season with 1/2 tsp. celery seed, 1/2 tsp. paprika (regular or smoked) and more salt and pepper to taste. Serve chilled. This recipe makes enough for 4-6 servings, but if you need more than that I’d double it. And if you’re wondering, I used my @slotdogdotcom to make my hot dog, and that bun is 2 net carbs from @greatlowcarb bread company. 😋 #lowcarbfauxtatosalad #ketopotatosalad #ketogenicdiet #ketomemorialday #cauliflowersalad #lowcarbdiet #lchf

A post shared by Nancy ❤️ (@lowcarb.nancy) on May 22, 2019 at 4:34pm PDT

Creamy potato salad is a BBQ must, but potatoes are a no-go on keto. Solution: swap in cauliflower for a low-carb potato salad replacement that tastes just as good as the classic! Get the Low Carb Cauliflower Potato Salad recipe.

Keto Coleslaw

Chowhound

Another required cookout and picnic dish—coleslaw—can easily be made keto-friendly, but often has quite a lot of sugar hidden in the ingredients. As long as you stick to a recipe without it, you’re golden. That includes mayo-based options, but this one has a lighter vinaigrette-style dressing and a spicy kick to cut through all the meat and cheese you’ll be eating. Get our Keto-Friendly Spicy Lime and Jalapeño Coleslaw.

Grilled Watermelon, Feta, and Mint Salad

Chowhound

Another way to lighten things up: this refreshing, sweet-savory watermelon salad with salty feta and cooling mint, and a hint of smoke from the grill. Add cucumbers, olives, and red onions for more flavor and texture. But swap out the fresh orange juice in the dressing for a keto-friendly vinegar like apple cider vinegar instead (beware balsamic). Get our Grilled Watermelon, Feta, and Mint Salad recipe.

Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Salad

This would be the perfect side dish (that’s also main course-appropriate) to bring to your friend’s Labor Day party. It’s so delicious, they’ll have no idea that you brought it in hopes of sticking to your diet! Get the Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Salad recipe.

Keto Cheddar Jalapeño Sausage Dip

Grab some low-carb crackers or sliced cucumbers or radishes to dunk in this delicious cheddar jalapeño sausage dip (or be extra and bring homemade keto cheese crackers along for the ride). Get the Keto Cheddar Jalapeño Sausage Dip recipe.

Keto Bacon Jalapeño Poppers

Chowhound

Everyone loves a jalapeño popper—especially when bacon is involved. Throw them on the grill for a few minutes to reheat and add a little extra smoky flavor. Get the Keto Bacon Jalapeño Poppers recipe.

Keto Buffalo Chicken Sausage Balls

Not only is this recipe complete with delicious buffalo sauce, it has blue cheese crumbles both in the meatballs and in the dip. It’s seriously impossible to eat just one. Get the Keto Buffalo Chicken Sausage Balls recipe.

Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble 

Dessert does not have to be off the table at a keto celebration. This strawberry rhubarb crumble looks gorgeous and tastes delicious; almond flour and coconut flour make it low-carb and gluten-free. And strawberries are perfectly within the realm of allowed keto eats—so enjoy as much as you want! Get the Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble recipe.

Keto Fudge Brownies

These brownies are indulgent and delicious. They are also sugar-free and made with coconut flour, but if you don’t tell your friends that, they’ll never know. Get the Keto Fudge Brownies recipe.

Keto Cookie Cups

These cookie cups are red, white and YUM! The berries add a festive, sweet touch to the sugar-free cookies, and there’s a rich cheesecake-inspired filling in between those layers—and they’re good enough to eat any time between the 4th of July and Labor Day. Get the Keto Cookie Cups recipe.

Divi Design Showcase: New Submissions from January 2019

It’s time again for our monthly Divi Showcase where we take a look at 10 awesome Divi websites made by our community members. Each month we showcase the best Divi websites that were submitted from our community and today we want to share with you the top ten websites for the month of January. Throughout the post, I’ll point out some of my favorite design features that draw me to each of the websites.

I hope you like them!

Divi Design Showcase: New Submissions from January 2019

1. Swyft

This site was submitted by Suzie Tawney. Orange is the branded color and it’s prominent throughout the site. It uses an interesting split-screen with information on one side in orange and white and a video on the other. Large blurbs show the services with multi-colored graphics and a title. Hovering changes the background to orange. A slider includes an orange overlay and a styled section divider. I found the blog section especially interesting. It includes a patterned section background an orange background for the row. Both the blog and the row have a box shadow to stand apart from the background. The blog page includes overlapping cards that alternate down the page.

Visit Website

2. Empire Engineering

This site was submitted by Ross Pope. This site uses dark blue as the branded color, starting with a full-screen image with a blue overlay that blends into the next section. Services are shown within blurbs. They include the dark blue backgrounds with white text and icons, and they have a zoom hover effect. I like the Why section that shows the company’s strong points in a list of blurbs. The blog section shows the latest posts in a single column with a background that blends into a top-down view of the ocean. Each of the pages continues this design. I especially like the Services page with bullet-points in boxes that overlap the images.

Visit Website

3. Umbrella Tax Solutions

This site was submitted by Mani O’Brien. The site uses a dark blue with yellow, white, and blue highlights throughout the design. It starts with a full-screen image with description and CTA and then provides a full-width newsletter CTA with an e-book incentive. The sign-up form is prominent enough so the site doesn’t require a popup. Information is shown within large blurbs that include a top border design and multi-colored icons. This same design is also used for services. An interesting circled graphic shows how it works. I especially like the testimonial section that shows a full-width image with a person on one side and the testimonial on the other over the background.

4. Win Water

This site was submitted by Victor Duse. This website uses a light blue-green for the branded color, usually as a gradient of the two, within highlights and overlays. The hero section plays a video behind the gradient. Information is shown within blurbs using icons of a wired globe that’s colored with the blue-green gradient. I like the testimonial slider that shows a blurred background image and the testimonial over it. The blog section displays posts with an elegant hover effect. The stats section is interesting. It shows three large numbers with each in a different color and on different heights. Images of water are used within backgrounds and include the blue-green colors within the images.

5. Helke Wieners

This site was submitted by Oliver Gehrmann. This website uses a color called Wild Watermelon for backgrounds, menus, and highlights. The hero section shows the logo above an image that overlaps the next section. Headings use an elegant scripted font. Several sections show text and images in two columns with text to one side and the image on the other, and alternating as you scroll. A full-screen slider shows related images. A Contact section works as a CTA. The newsletter signup uses the branded color for its background. The menu is simple but unique. It shows a hamburger icon, but when you click on it the menu shows in the header as normal. The site makes excellent use of color and whitespace.

6. Frukto

This site was submitted by Michal Teska. This is a one-page site that uses fruity-tropical shades of blue, green, red, and yellow as branded colors and uses them within backgrounds and highlights. It also uses images of tropical fruit within each of the sections in the same colors as the backgrounds. Each section is full-screen and shows the images in true parallax. Opposing colors are used for graphics, bullets, and dividers. Services are shown within toggles. The footer shows the contact info and even includes a small banana graphic for a back-to-top button. This is a clean and simple design that makes great use of color and whitespace.

7. Pirela Consultancy

This site was submitted by Leopoldo Pirela. It uses a bluish-purple color, green, and yellow in its branding for backgrounds, overlays, and highlights starting with the purplish pattern in the header’s background. Featured projects are shown as three images that reveal information on hover. Testimonials are shown within a full-screen slider. Thoughts and tips are shown in green blurbs that show relevant icons. I love the CTA in this site. It shows a book with information and a download button over a dark green background pattern. The footer shows the same purple background pattern as the header and provides the contact link and social follow buttons. I love the alternating layout of the Services page.

8. Mauri

This site was submitted by Mauricio Cedraz. The landing page is a single full-screen with a purple/red gradient background with large text that’s just off-center. The text is actually links and animates on hover, which flips the text and changes the colors- with one letter facing backward in a different color than the rest. Clicking on any of the text takes you to a page. Under the text is a single toggle with a welcome message. The page also includes the menu icon, contact links, and social follow buttons. The other pages use a similar design, but some have multi-column layouts with images over backgrounds with gradients. The colors are bold. I love the use of color and the large text in the header and menu.

9. One Foot Over

This site was submitted by Stephen Brent May. It uses purple and green for its branded colors within the text, highlights, graphics, and backgrounds. The hero section displays a box with information and a button that overlaps the flat-design background graphic. The next section shows two rows with a two-column section with a mobile graphic in the branded colors with company info in the other column. The rows alternate their layout. I love the next section which shows company information over a patterned background with a purple gradient. Another purple background is used as a CTA and within the footer. Services are displayed within blurbs using multi-colored icons.

10. Extempra

This site was submitted by Chetan Gupta. It uses several branded colors including a blue that’s close to teal within text and overlays, bright yellow for highlights, a bold yellow within backgrounds, and a purple overlay for the header. I especially like the Programs section that shows two images with blue overlays that includes the title, text, and buttons. The overlays make the images and the text pop. Testimonials are shown within a slider that overlaps two sections. The blog section shows posts with rounded corners and box shadows. The other pages use a similar layout with full-screen headers, overlapping sections, and bold color. The blog uses a 1-column, 2-column, and 3-column layout for the blog posts and makes great use of featured images.

Instant Pot Tortellini Soup with Parmesan, Chicken Sausage and Mushrooms needs to make its place on your menu this week. My husband said “this is maybe the best soup I’ve ever had!” It’s slightly creamy (but doesn’t go overboard with dairy) and has amazing flavor thanks to the chicken sausage. It also has a nice pop of color from the chopped spinach. This soup can be made in minutes with your electric pressure cooker.

Instant Pot Tortellini Soup with Parmesan, Chicken Sausage and Mushrooms

I’ve eyed a recipe from Closet Cooking for a long time. It just looked like something I would love. I knew that I could make a spin off version of the soup in my Instant Pot. I added chicken sausage and left out the flour and white wine. I also adapted the recipe for an electric pressure cooker.

This particular recipe actually has a 0 minute pressure cooking time. You may not have known that you could even do that in your pressure cooker! What it means is that the pot will heat up, cook your soup and finally come to pressure (soups take a while to come to pressure since the pot is so full and there is so much liquid). Then the pot will switch over to warm. At that point you’ll let the pressure release naturally for 10 minute (the soup will still be cooking during this 10 minutes because there is still pressure in the pot). Then you’ll move the valve to venting to release any extra pressure. You’ll open the pot and find perfect cooked tortellinis and a soup that tastes like it’s been simmering all day.

I love making one pot meals like this Instant Pot Tortellini Soup with Parmesan, Chicken Sausage and Mushrooms. It feeds a crowd, warms you up and leaves you satisfied. I hope you enjoy this soup as much as my family did!

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?

To make this Instant Pot Tortellini Soup with Parmesan, Chicken Sausage and Mushrooms I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly.  It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Instant Pot Tortellini Soup with Parmesan, Chicken Sausage and Mushrooms

Description

This soup needs to make its place on your menu this week. My husband said “this is maybe the best soup I’ve ever had!” It’s slightly creamy (but doesn’t go overboard with dairy) and has amazing flavor thanks to the chicken sausage. It also has a nice pop of color from the chopped spinach. This soup can be made in minutes with your electric pressure cooker. 

Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil

1 pound ground chicken sausage (or you can use ground pork sausage)

1 diced yellow onion

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 tsp dried thyme

6 cups chicken broth (or 6 cups water and 6 tsp Better than Bouillon* chicken base)

1 (16 ounce package) frozen or fresh tortellini

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

5 ounces coarsely chopped spinach

1/2 cup half and half or heavy cream, warm

2 Tbsp cornstarch + 2 Tbsp water

Instructions

Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting and adjust to “more.” Add in the oil. Let the pot heat up for a couple of minutes. Add in the chicken sausage and brown for about 5 minutes. Add in the onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add in the thyme.

Deglaze the pot with the chicken broth. Then add in the tortellini.

Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 0 minutes (zero). It should be on high pressure.

While the pot is coming to pressure chop your spinach and warm up your dairy (I just stuck mine in the microwave for 30 seconds).

Once the pot comes to pressure your timer will beep. Do nothing at this point and just let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, move the valve to venting. Once you can, remove the lid.

Stir in the parmesan cheese, spinach and half and half. Turn the pot to the saute setting. In a small bowl stir together the cornstarch and water. Then stir the cornstarch slurry into the pot. It will thicken the soup just a bit. Once soup is thickened turn off the saute function and turn the pot to the keep warm function. Salt and pepper the soup to taste.

Ladle soup into bowls and top with additional parmesan cheese.

This 1970 Dodge Challenger by Brook Niemi looks so good you almost ignore the technical details – almost.  Although people love reminiscing about how everything was better during the muscle car era, we have to admit that recent projects managed to blend the best of both worlds – God forbid someone comes up with an electric vehicle showing off muscle car looks. The luxury of ordering up the Mopar of your dreams with an employee discount was a rare treat during those times, and this company car shows off the R/T package, 440 big-block, a four-barrel carb, an A833 four-speed, and a Dana 60 rear-end. Following delivery, the owner swapped out the four-barrel carb and the stock hood for a Six Pack and a factory T/A hood. Please note the Special Edition package, which included a smaller back window, four-point seatbelts, and a console in the headliner.

One of less than 150 built with a 440 and a four-speed, this fine Mopar specimen has been stripped and repainted, while a supercharged, all-aluminum Gen III Hemi was put in by the team at Absolute Performance. The setup is based on an aftermarket aluminum block, Oliver steel rods, an Edelbrock E-Force supercharger and custom Arrow Lane headers. The result is 1,000 hp and 1,100 lb-ft of torque – I told you such figures could not have been ignored. As such, Brook completely revamped the chassis with Reilly Motorsports hardware, with this incredible vehicle also featuring an RMS K-member, control arms, sway bar, and coilovers. 18″ EVOD wheels were wrapped in Nitto rubber and finish of this super rare Challenger.

Keto BBQ Recipes and Tips

The ketogenic diet shows no signs of waning in popularity, but it can be hard to stick to keto guidelines around summer holidays—particularly holidays where a lot of food is sure to be present.

The keto diet prioritizes low-carbohydrate intake and permits a higher intake of fats, the goal being to trick your body into metabolizing fat—because if you’re not eating carbs there are none there for your body to break down—to use as energy instead of storing it. Because fats (read: meats) are still allowed, navigating the food situation on a grilling-heavy holiday like the 4th of July or Labor Day isn’t as difficult as you may think.

Things you can eat for a keto BBQ:

If your friends are grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, by all means—indulge! Just make sure to skip the bun and instead opt for a lettuce wrap. You can also add on bacon and avocado slices. Plain grilled proteins like chicken and steak are also fine, as long as they’re not slathered in sugary sauce.

For sides, make sure you’re incorporating leafy greens. You can also indulge in fats—so bacon and cheese are still on the table.

You can even have beer if you focus on low-carb options. That said, if you want to drink, sticking to liquor will be your best bet.

Foods to avoid: 

Of course you know to lose the buns, but make sure you also avoid corn, potatoes, wheat (i.e., no conventional pasta salad), and rice as much as you can.

You may think that all fruits are still an option, but make sure you stick to berries and avoid apples and bananas (probably pretty easy in summer, when red and blue berries are in such high supply).

Also, in addition to regular sugar, make sure to avoid honey, agave syrup, and other sweeteners that might sneak into desserts that you’re eyeing.

Keto BBQ Recipes

Still concerned about having a satisfying keto cookout? Don’t worry—we’ve rounded up some low-carb recipes that will be as delicious as they are festive.

Low Carb Cauliflower Potato Salad

View this post on Instagram

Today on my stories I demonstrated how I make my favorite cauliflower faux-tato salad, and it’s so good and easy to make! I also made it a highlight video, so check it out. Here’s the recipe: Nancy’s Cauliflower Faux Tato Salad 1 16 oz bag frozen cauliflower, steamed, drained, and cut into bite sized pieces. To the warm cauliflower add 1/2 Tbsp. white vinegar and 1/4 tsp. salt and stir. Mix 1/2 C mayo with 1 tsp. yellow mustard and stir into cauliflower, then add 3 diced hard boiled eggs, 6 diced pieces cooked bacon, and 1-2 Tbsp. finely diced red onion. Season with 1/2 tsp. celery seed, 1/2 tsp. paprika (regular or smoked) and more salt and pepper to taste. Serve chilled. This recipe makes enough for 4-6 servings, but if you need more than that I’d double it. And if you’re wondering, I used my @slotdogdotcom to make my hot dog, and that bun is 2 net carbs from @greatlowcarb bread company. 😋 #lowcarbfauxtatosalad #ketopotatosalad #ketogenicdiet #ketomemorialday #cauliflowersalad #lowcarbdiet #lchf

Creamy potato salad is a BBQ must, but potatoes are a no-go on keto. Solution: swap in cauliflower for a low-carb potato salad replacement that tastes just as good as the classic! Get the Low Carb Cauliflower Potato Salad recipe.

Keto Coleslaw

Chowhound

Another required cookout and picnic dish—coleslaw—can easily be made keto-friendly, but often has quite a lot of sugar hidden in the ingredients. As long as you stick to a recipe without it, you’re golden. That includes mayo-based options, but this one has a lighter vinaigrette-style dressing and a spicy kick to cut through all the meat and cheese you’ll be eating. Get our Keto-Friendly Spicy Lime and Jalapeño Coleslaw.

Grilled Watermelon, Feta, and Mint Salad

Chowhound

Another way to lighten things up: this refreshing, sweet-savory watermelon salad with salty feta and cooling mint, and a hint of smoke from the grill. Add cucumbers, olives, and red onions for more flavor and texture. But swap out the fresh orange juice in the dressing for a keto-friendly vinegar like apple cider vinegar instead (beware balsamic). Get our Grilled Watermelon, Feta, and Mint Salad recipe.

Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Salad

This would be the perfect side dish (that’s also main course-appropriate) to bring to your friend’s Fourth of July party. It’s so delicious, they’ll have no idea that you brought it in hopes of sticking to your diet! Get the Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Salad recipe.

Keto Cheddar Jalapeño Sausage Dip

Grab some low-carb crackers or sliced cucumbers or radishes to dunk in this delicious cheddar jalapeño sausage dip (or be extra and bring homemade keto cheese crackers along for the ride). Get the Keto Cheddar Jalapeño Sausage Dip recipe.

Keto Bacon Jalapeño Poppers

Chowhound

Everyone loves a jalapeño popper—especially when bacon is involved. Get the Keto Bacon Jalapeño Poppers recipe.

Keto Buffalo Chicken Sausage Balls

Not only is this recipe complete with delicious buffalo sauce, it has blue cheese crumbles both in the meatballs and in the dip. It’s seriously impossible to eat just one. Get the Keto Buffalo Chicken Sausage Balls recipe.

Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble 

Dessert does not have to be off the table at a keto celebration. This strawberry rhubarb crumble looks gorgeous and tastes delicious; almond flour and coconut flour make it low-carb and gluten-free. And strawberries are perfectly within the realm of allowed keto eats—so enjoy as much as you want! Get the Keto Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble recipe.

Keto Fudge Brownies

These brownies are indulgent and delicious. They are also sugar-free and made with coconut flour, but if you don’t tell your friends that, they’ll never know. Get the Keto Fudge Brownies recipe.

Keto Fourth of July Cookie Cups

These cookie cups are red, white and YUM! The berries add a festive, sweet touch to the sugar-free cookies, and there’s a rich cheesecake-inspired filling in between those layers—and they’re good enough to eat any time between the 4th of July and Labor Day. Get the Keto Fourth of July Cookie Cups recipe.
