Cookouts, Grilling & Picnics

Amy Dungan presents a few Memorial Day kick-off recipes to get you in the mood for outdoor food! Low-Carb Cajun Chicken Packets, Low-Carb Mixed Veggie Stuffed Burgers, & Low-Carb Spicy Avocado Dip.

This Low-Carb Mixed Veggie Stuffed Burgers is a way to sneak a few veggies into that special someone who may dislike them (like kids... or your spouse). Don't let the name fool you - while not stuffed to the brim, you do notice the nice mix of flavors without it overpowering the burger. When I had my hubby try this, his reply was “ Oh yeah! Mmmmmm!” Translated, that's “Heck ya! Gimme More!” in hubby speak.



This Low-Carb Cajun Chicken Packets Recipe is one of my favorite methods of outdoor cuisine. Packet cooking can give you everything you need in a meal, with little hassle and virtually no clean-up.

Keto Low-Carb Spicy Avocado Dip (Spicy Guacamole) is a simple appetizer or dip that will work well to tame those “When is the food gonna be done?” questions. And the beauty is that you can fix it up ahead of time to reduce some of the heavy lifting on the day of your cookout. This recipe fits my small family, but it's easy to double, or triple, this recipe for bigger crowds.

Don't cover that grill and stow it away for winter quite yet! If you do, you’ll be missing out on one of the best seasons to throw a ketogenic fall barbecue. More than that, grilling blends perfectly with the ketogenic diet. Cooking low-carb vegetables and meat outdoors imparts a signature smoky flavor no oven can replicate.

Burgers, burgers, and more burgers! Yeah, that's how we roll in the Bauer household. These Low-Carb Gluten-Free Swedish Burgers are probably the best you will every wrap your taste buds around!
