I’ve polled a few friends who do Keto and asked them what they would like as holiday gifts. Here are the top 10!
The DASH Mini Waffle Maker – $16.99
Phenomenal for “Chaffles (cheese waffles) and a variety of other creative Keto foods! Can be found here.
2. The DASH Egg Bite Maker – $29.99
Eggs are very keto – and this Egg bite maker makes egg bites really fast, easy, and delicious! You can find it here!
3. G. Hughes Sugar Free Sauces – $3.49
Certified Gluten Free, Preservative Free, and Sugar Free – G. Hughes has BBQ sauces, Dipping Sauces, and Marinades. A selection of G. Hughes sauces would be an amazing gift for not only Keto peeps, but anyone else! Here is their page for more information and where to find!
4. Jordan’s Skinny Mixes – $4.99
“50 guilt-free flavors for your coffee, tea, protein shakes, baking or just about anything.” I personally LOVE Jordan’s Skinny Syrups – I actually just placed a MASSIVE order with them – lol! I HIGHLY recommend. Purchase in many stores, or direct here.
5. Immersion Blender – $19.99
Immersion blenders are AMAZING for so many tasks. I mostly use mine though for making mashed cauliflower! Target currently has this one on sale.
6. Pork Rinds – 2 Pack for $21.98
Pork Rinds are a delicious Zero Carb snack. I’ve tried a lot of different kinds – and for some reason the barrel of Utz Pork Rinds are hands down my favorite. Not gonna lie – they are all delicious though! Pork rinds can be eaten straight, ground up as a panko replacement to fry foods, used to dip in sauces, or even a nacho replacement! The tub can be bought in retail stores, or directly from Utz, here.
7. Gift Card – Varies
I know – gift card’s aren’t personal. HOWEVER – Gift cards are REALLY nice for those doing Keto, because your Keto friend WILL need to purchase new clothing, and it adds up fast!
8. Collection of Sea Salts – $29.95
Sea Salt is a great gift for those doing Keto. Have enough salt in your diet is essential to staying hydrated! This collection looks neat – but I know some areas have really awesome boutique stores that have lots of spices. (Cape Fear Spice Merchant in Wilmington, NC is one that comes to mind for me – I LOVE them so much!)
9. Almond Flour (Yes, really!) – $13.44
Think about how much flour you use in your kitchen. Great. Now increase that price. Because unless you are lucky enough to live near an awesome place like the Dekalb Farmers Market (Decatur Georgia, USA) , almond and coconut flours are heckin’ expensive! So, do your KETO person a favor and help them stock up! This 3lb bag isn’t to terrible in price on Amazon.
10. Keto Krate $39.99 / month
Okay – this gift is only if you REALLY like someone. Or heck – make it a gift for yourself! A subscription service such as Keto Krate delivers yummy goodies each month! Just beware – they ship with USPS, so goodness only knows when you’ll get your package! Subscribe here.

I have a confession. I LOVE the Wawa turkey sandwich/bowl. Hot turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and gravy, all on a roll or in a bowl. So I decided – lets KETOFY this!
I use SOLA brand bread, but any low carb bread that you have on hand will work! For turkey, I usually cheat and buy a precooked turkey breast from the cooked section of the grocery store (usually near the precooked ready to eat chickens). Worse case, get some turkey breast from the deli counter. Just try to avoid kinds that sound sweet – like “maple turkey”.
The Wawa version has gravy, but like I’ve said in my “About Me”, I’m hecking lazy. I think the sandwich is AMAZING without gravy, but if you want to make some – be my guest! I suggest xanthan gum or guar powder in place of flour to thicken. Just mix it cold with water, then add to your sauce in place of flour to thicken your sauce (I’ll come out with a gravy post here eventually – stay tuned)!
Gather everything, slap it all together as a sammich, and devour it! Alternatively – toss is all in a bowl with out bread, and save some additional carbs.

Make your Thanksgiving more KETO with some delicious dirty keto cranberry sauce! This recipe is SUPER simple, uses 3 ingredients and takes about 20 minutes! I prefer using allulose because the ratio for white sugar is 1:1, which makes conversions simple! If you have a sugar alternative you prefer, check out this nifty conversion calculator!
Ingredients:
1 cup of Allulose
1 cup of water
4 cups (12oz) of fresh cranberries
Directions:
Bring your 1 cup of water and 1 cup of allulose to a boil. While the water heats, rinse your cranberries and remove and funky ones.
When the water begins to boil and the water becomes clear as the sugar dissolves, add the cranberries.
Let the water come back up to a boil, then simmer for about 15-20 min, until your cranberries burst and depending on how “chunky” you want your sauce.
Turn off stove, let your cranberry sauce cool, and put into a container for storage.
Yield: About 16oz of cranberry sauce (32 servings).
