Let’s all be honest: Regardless of your feelings and traditions on certain holidays, many of the biggest holidays we celebrate revolve to some degree around food. But even if you love to cook, making a meal that will accommodate everyone around the table can be hard. This year, I’ve got you covered with ideas for a classic Easter dinner as well as options to pick from that are keto-friendly (all are gluten-free, and many are paleo-friendly as well!).
You obviously don’t need to make everything on this list, but if your family loves a good broccoli casserole and you’re going low-carb, try the keto option and see if anyone notices the difference. Or if you and other family members are cooking together, maybe you can make the gluten-free option while your sister makes the regular option. This classic vs. keto Easter meal plan will ease your decision making and let you focus on being with your family as you celebrate.
