We had about 35-40 Ketonians attend the Second Keto Picnic on September 7, 2019.

Everyone brought there own meat to grill and some dishes to share. There were a ton of great options including once again Brian’s smoked Brisket (absolutely one of the best briskets I’ve ever tasted).

Here are a few of the recipes I’ve captured. Let me know if you have any additions/corrections:

Cole Slaw (simple creamy) (Kristin)
Keto cheddar Cheese Bacon Balls
Pumkin Chili Recipe by Maria Emmerich (on Facebook or in her Instant Pot cookbook) (Ro)
- Modifications
  - Added Coconut milk at the end.
  - Substituted broth for water and accidentally added water anyway (so not as thick)
  - Added spices like turmeric, garlic and onion powers.
Keto skewer (Brian)
Broccoli dish (Amy)-
- I don’t really have a recipe. It’s broccoli, red onion, bacon and sunflower seeds. The dressing is mayonnaise, a splash of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste
Bacon and Egg Salad (Kim)
- Keep in mind this makes a huge bowl that is perfect for a big group. I used a box of 32 organic Costco eggs and cut them up. I then added the two packages of cut up cooked bacon and mixed everything together. For the mayo I used 1 egg, 1/2 tsp of mustard, 1 tsp of pink Himalayan salt, and 1cup of bacon grease. I put the mayo ingredients into a wide mouth mason jar by the order listed . I then used an immersion blender on high speed and put it at the bottom of the jar for about 20 seconds until it was all blended I poured that over the bacon and egg mixture and added 2 tbsp of Pork Barrell BBQ All American Seasoning & Rub from Costco and mixed everything together.
Chocolate Cake (Jamie)
- My mods: I doubled the recipe, used heavy whipping cream instead of coconut milk, used all dark (no white) chocolate chips (mostly Lily's chips and Chatwell's 70% cacao chips which are nut-, dairy-, and soy-free). I don't think I put the full amount of chips on top, either, just used what I had left of the Lily's. Squirted a few drops of stevia glycerite in the batter as well since normally the sweetness would come from the white chocolate chips. Next time I may add no sugar sunbutter for a 'Reese's Cake'!
