Keto Cheesy Chicken Casserole

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog2 Comments

This casserole is so easy to throw together and you can customize it to make it your own by adding veggies to it or a little more cheese. It is very similar to my Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole that we love but haven’t been making since we’ve been eating a more keto-friendly diet.

This goes great with any veggies, rice or caulirice, salad, or some garlic bread. You could even use leftover chicken (or maybe turkey) in the recipe and just cube it or shred it… it would be even easier to put together.

It’s so hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week! I haven’t finished all my shopping yet but plan to have it wrapped up before the end of the week. We will probably have a lot of our usual dishes plus a couple of new ones ‘keto-friendly’ versions. We won’t be ‘restricting’ ourselves to keto foods for Thanksgiving as we want to have the freedom to enjoy, but not overindulge, the dishes that everyone brings to dinner.

I love using Canva to make up pretty menus and such! Please excuse my typos… oops!

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog4 Comments

This week we have been focusing on Thanksgiving with our homeschool studies. I had purchased ‘A Christ-Centered Thanksgiving‘** several years ago but just never got around to using it. This season I am trying to be a bit more intentional and I have included different seasonal activity slots into our school schedule to help me remember to look through what I have.
