Why You Should Try These Keto Patriotic Foods?

When people celebrate, it nearly always involves food. And, if that food looks like it dressed up for the party, I like it even better.

“Themed” food adds an extra element of fun to life’s special events, and that is no less true for patriotic holidays. From Memorial Day cookouts to 4th of July parties, serving up red, white, and blue food is a lot of fun.

Besides patriotic-colored dishes, 4th of July and Memorial day are about BBQ. Since the keto options can be limited, these low carb and keto 4th of July and Memorial Day recipes are here to help.
