Keto BBQ: 100+ Delicious Low-Carb Recipes for a Keto-Friendly Barbecue

I have never done a keto lifestyle, but I have friends who have. They have lost a ton of weight and have gained a healthier lifestyle. I know a big hang-up for me is knowing how to prepare menus that would be truly Keto. This book would give you recipes that are Keto, and good! You don’t have to stop doing your summer barbecues. You can have a Keto diet and still enjoy life!

This cookbook was put out by Simon and Schuster and is being released today! You can buy it for $14.99 on Amazon, or you can get the Kindle version of it for $11.99.

If you prepare Keto recipes already or if you want to start eating some Keto-friendly meals, then check out this recipe book!

Tasty Tuesdays: April Linky Party, Favorite Recipes from March, and New Recipe Books Reviews

Last month’s party had two favorite posts from the same blogger: Our Good Life!

Favorite recipes from March's Tasty Tuesday linky party

In last month’s party, I shared 6 recipes I wanted to try this month. I only tried one of them, and my family really enjoyed it. I tweaked it a little bit by doubling some ingredients as we have a large family; but for the most part, it was made as it is written. We ate the Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole from The Lazy Gastronome for a breakfast dinner!

Here are some recipes I am hoping to try from March’s party:

Here are the seven recipes linked up to March's Tasty Tuesday's party that I want to try this next month.

I also received two new recipe books that I am excited to share with you.

2 new recipe books: The Unofficial Aldi Cookbook and The Ultimate Meal Prep Book.
Both of these books were given to Creative K Kids in exchange for an honest review.
No monetary compensation was received.

Aldi is my favorite store of all time. The only reason we ate as kids as because there was an Aldi close to our house. There was a period of time that my mom had less than $50 a week for any purchases she had to buy. Aldi was a life-saver!

The Unofficial ALDI cookbook has a section on the history of Aldi, and the author said she went shopping at the ALDI in Villa Park, Illinois, in the 1980’s, and that the ALDI there had to be one of the first ALDIs as the very first one opened in Iowa in 1976. Well, we moved to Villa Park in 1980, and that is the ALDI we went to as well.

When we moved to Florida, I told my husband that we would know if the move was God’s will if there was a Florida nearby. Praise the Lord! There is one with 15 minutes of my house — and they had gone in less than 10 years before we moved to Florida.

When I moved to Florida, I ran across many ALDI snobs. ALDI hadn’t been here that long, and the old-timers loved their double-priced Publix stores because they had a few BOGO sales. I told someone at our church how much I loved ALDI, so they went for the first time, loved it so much that they switched their loyalties!

Of course this recipe book could be used by going to any store as other stores have these ingredients as well, but if you are an ALDI lover, you will want to get this recipe book!

There are 75 recipes in this cookbook. You can find out more about The Unofficial ALDI Cookbook HERE.

The Ultimate Meal Prep Cookbook maps out meal planning “with 25 weekly plans that include a menu, a grocery list, and pantry list (both with plenty of substitution options), ingredient prep-ahead lists, and recipe make-ahead lists.”

This book tells you how to freeze different foods, prep for the week, have a stocked pantry, and much more. There are 25 meal plans. Do this entire cookbook two times and make it through an entire year!

It’s laid out in an easy-to-follow manner. Each meal plan gives a list of 4 meal plans plus a suggestion of a pantry recipe that is in the book. There are thirty pantry recipes immediately following the 25 meal plans. There are 130 recipes in this book!

For each meal plan, there is a page that tells you how those recipes all work together to be a good plan for making your life easier and for being recipes that you will enjoy. It also gives you all your lists: pantry item lists, make ahead list, prep ahead list, and your grocery list. Of course, if you don’t have everything in your pantry, you’ll want to add those items to your grocery list.

The meal plans do not include everything you would want for the meal. It is just for the main dish and usually a side like a salad or a vegetable or starch. So you would have to add in a bread item if desired or maybe another food item.

I feel for some people this would add variety back into your meals and take so much of the work of planning meals out of your life plus save money as you aren’t wasting food anymore!

Last month, we had a great party. About 120 recipes were linked up and all were of those were saved to the Tasty Tuesday’s Pinterest board.

Here were the 2 favorite recipe posts from last month’s party:

Favorite recipe posts from February's Tasty Tuesday's linky party.

In February’s linky party, I shared several recipes from January’s linky party that I wanted to try. I’m in a really busy part of the year with teaching, so I was only able to try one recipe. I tried Leftover Candy Cane Cookies from Walking on Sunshine Recipes. They were a hit with everyone who ate them — my mom, dad, kids, husband, and even people at church!

Last month’s party worked great!

We switched to posting a new party only once a month, and having the new link-ups weekly show at the top of the post. We had 178 posts linked up, and because I don’t have to write a new post every month, it was no problem to pin all of the recipes weekly to Pinterest. I also sent out a weekly reminder to link up to the party.

This party is now the first post on the home page of Creative K Kids, so it is easy to find. Thanks for still linking up weekly and taking your time to make this party a part of your weekly routine.

There were two favorite recipes from January’s Tasty Tuesday’s linky party:

Favorite recipes linked up to January's Tasty Tuesday's linky party.

I also said that I would share my personal favorites. As I pinned the posts, I thought about which ones I wanted to try for my family. Here are my personal favorites from this past month’s party:

Here are my 8 favorite recipes that linked up to January's Tasty Tuesday's linky party. These are the recipes I want to try out this month!

Since you all are foodies, you may also be interested in a few recipe books I received this past month

All of these books were given to me for free so that I could share them with my readers. I receive no compensation, and I always give my honest opinion. These are brand new recipe books that may be just what you need:

Instant Pot 5-Ingredient Recipe Book
Preorder for delivery by February 9th for Prime members.
More info can be found HERE.
You can find out more about this recipe book HERE.

This is the book I am most excited about!

I have the 5-ingredient Slow-Cooker cookbook, so I know will love the The “I Love My Instant Pot” 5-Ingredient Recipe Book. There are 175 recipes — that can be quickly made with only 5 ingredients!!! Yay!








The Anti-Inflammatory Family Cookbook

is very informational in explaining why an anti-inflammatory diet is very important for our health and how we can do this type of lifestyle. It then has kid-approved recipes for snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, and more! There are 100 recipes in this book.







The Spicy Plant-Based Cookbook

is not something I would normally buy as I’m not into spicy food. But for those of you who are, you might love this recipe book. There are over 200 recipes, and they are all for the plant-based lifestyle.

This year, we are going to change this party up!

I will post only once a month — the first Tuesday in the month will be a new Tasty Tuesdays linky party, but I will leave that party open all month so you can come by and link up a couple of new recipes weekly. Your recipes will still get pinned to the Pinterest board, and I will still share the monthly favorite recipes.

Here are the favorite recipes for the 3 parties we had in December:

Favorite recipes linked up to December's Tasty Tuesday's linky parties.

I’ve also had 3 new cookbooks/food books donated to me for me to share with my readers and give my honest review.

Two of the books are Keto books. Some of you may want to try doing a Keto lifestyle this year or you may already be doing it, and you may find these books interesting.

The Dirty Lazy Keto No Time To Cook Cookbook: 100 Easy Recipes in Under 30 Minutes

The Dirty Lazy Keto No Time To Cook Cookbook: 100 Easy Recipes in Under 30 Minutes

Each of these recipes contains 10 grams of net carbs or less and can be made in under 30 minutes (including prep time!) The recipes use everyday ingredients.

Just looking through the cookbook, I can tell that the claims are true. The recipes are easy, I have many of the ingredients already, and I would like to eat many of the recipes once prepared.

Keto Diet Hacks: 200 Shortcuts to Make the Keto Diet Fit Your Lifestyle

Keto Diet Hacks: 200 Shortcuts to Make the Keto Diet Fit Your Lifestyle

Maybe you want to adopt the Keto lifestyle this year, but you are afraid you will fail. For many Keto is not just about losing weight. It’s about eating healthier; it may be that you have a gluten intolerance. However, you don’t know if you can really do it.

Then this is the book for you. It tells you how to meal plan and prep, how to go grocery shopping, how to deal with eating out, how to curb your hunger (I’m going to read that chapter for sure!), how to deal with your carb cravings, and much more.

This book is NOT a cookbook, but a lifestyle, motivational book.

And . . . on the opposite spectrum . . . here is a bread cookbook!

Maybe Keto is not your thing, but you would like to learn either how to make homemade bread or you just want to find some more recipes for bread, then this is the cookbook for you! The cover says that it is “A Beginner’s Guide to Bread Making.”

There are 100 recipes for bread including sourdough recipes, your normal white bread recipes, pita bread, panini, tortillas, flatbread, and every other bread recipe you might be able to think of.

This is a hardcover no-frills cookbook.

Bread: Mix, Knead, Bake — A Beginner’s Guide to Bread Making

I’m going to leave today’s party until the end of the month!

I will not do a new Tasty Tuesdays until January, and then I will do only one party a month. I will have it “stick” to the top of the home page, which means you can see it all month. It won’t disappear. You can come back every week and add a few new recipes, and I’ll send you emails every week (if you have signed up for them) reminding you to link up.

Today’s party will also “stick” to the top of my home page and you can link up the next 3 weeks to this party. We are taking a mini-break from blogging to have a wonderful Christmas celebration with our families.

Thank you to my hosts, Audrey and Lisa. They have been with me for a few years, and have been very faithful to this party and wonderful to work with.

I love sharing the recipes you link up. Here are some recipes you may want to try this Christmas!

Here are some Christmas recipes that include candy recipes, cookie recipes, hot chocolate recipes, and recipes that have peppermint in them!

Tasty Tuesdays: Fun Fondue!

A nice perk of blogging and sharing recipes is that I get to review new recipe books.

The newest one that I was sent is called The New Fondue Cookbook by Simon and Schuster. It is actually being released today on Amazon!

I received this book from Simon & Schuster, Inc. in exchange for my honest review.
I received no monetary compensation. All opinions are my own.
Check out this new cookbook: The New Fondue Cookbook, 100 Recipes for Fondue Fun! Start a new Christmas tradition! #fonduerecipes

I have never done true fondue at home. I make our favorite caramel dip a couple of times a year, but that is the closest to fondue we get. Since we are staying at home by ourselves this Christmas as all of our family is in 1,000 miles away, I thought doing fondue might be fun. I even have a tiny crockpot that would work to keep a fondue dip warm!

The New Fondue Cookbook includes 100 classic as well as more experimental recipes for fondues There are hot and cold as well as sweet and savory recipes. There are recipes that would be perfect for appetizers or desserts and also main dishes.

Here you can see a list of the 100 recipes included in this book.

There is a savory section of fondue recipes and a sweet section.

Here’s a few recipes I want to try:
  • Three Cheese Fondue
  • Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp
  • Queson Chili Con Carne
  • Pizza Fondue
  • Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate Fondue
  • Key Lime Pie Fondue
  • Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue
  • Marshmallow Fondue
  • Homemade Butterscotch Fondue
  • . . . and more!
Check out this new cookbook: The New Fondue Cookbook, Here's a list of 100 Recipes for Fondue Fun found in the new recipe book: The New Fondue Cookbook. #fonduerecipes

If you want to get this book, you can find it HERE on Amazon.

Here are some items you may want to have on hand if start doing more fondue recipes:

Have fun with fondue!!

Life changes.

We all know that. I started this blog almost 8 years ago as a hobby blog, then I thought maybe I would try to make money with it, and now I try to make enough money on ads to pay for its expenses.

I also now work full-time job (not for money as I make very little but just to provide my kids and a few others with a good education) at our little church school as the only teacher of 9 students that are in 8 different grade levels. It is truly a one-room schoolhouse. I also am a pastor’s wife and have many responsibilities with that role. Then of course, I have five kids. Four I teach, and my oldest is now in college.

When I started blogging, I was at home full-time, babysitting part-time, and doing crafts with all my littles. Now my littles are big-kids. I love my life, but I do miss staying at home like I used to do. Being away from home decreases the amount of time I have for blogging.

Sometimes I wonder if I should stop blogging, but I always wanted to keep my blog up so that my recipes would be here for my kids — plus the memories and crafts I shared so long ago. I also want the resources for homeschooling and crafts that I have provided here on Creative K Kids available to others.

But I want your feedback on a new idea for this party. This would not start until January, 2021.

Both of my co-hosts are moving on in the new year. They have been wonderful co-hosts, and they have stuck with me for a few years. That is a long time in the blogging world. So with my co-hosts moving on, I need to make a change. I don’t have time to do a new recipe every week or do a round up every week. So this is my idea:

I would do a monthly party that would be “sticky”. That means it stays as the top post on my front page, and you can link up 3 new recipes every week, just like you do now except now it would be to just one party per month. The new recipes would be at the top of the linky instead of the bottom.

What would stay the same?

  • You can link up 3 recipes weekly to the Tasty Tuesday’s party.
  • I would send out a weekly email.

What would be different?

  • It would be a new party monthly, not weekly (but you could still link up weekly).
  • It would be hosted only here at Creative K Kids.
  • Each month’s party would have 2 round-ups of recipes featured: which recipes were viewed the most and which recipes I want to feature. All featured recipes would be pinned to the Tasty Tuesday’s linky party board.
  • Newest recipes linked up will displayed on the top of the linky party so that each new week’s linked-up recipes can be easily seen.

I know some of you may not love this new format, but I am feeling overwhelmed. I don’t want to quit this party, but I need to do something that is less time-consuming for me. I thought this would be a good compromise: a weekly party that requires me to post only once a month. What do you think?

Here are some Thanksgiving round-ups and posts I have shared in the past:
