I would like to think of myself as a creative person. I love taking a recipe and recreate the dish in a way I love or make it low carb approved. So to me this comes naturally.
Yesterday we had a great Christmas lunch with friends. We are the only low carbers so I knew we would be faced with non low carb options. This didn’t bother me at all. I made a snack platter only containing low carb snacks – feta, tomatoes, cucumber, chicken wings, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, brie and a cream cheese dip. It was great and everybody enjoyed the snacks.
Being creative is not only limited to food. I grew up where you will get loads of sweets during the holiday season and this must have been one of my favourite memories as a kid. Raising Little M as a low carb kid – sweets are something far and few. I decided to treat all the kids with a creative activity instead. I love my ceramic pens I bought back in 2015. So each kid got a plate and they could decorate the plate as they wished. The adults got a coffee mug – and I think they enjoyed it just as much. 
Get creative this holiday season – create new snacks, new traditions, new activities. Whether we like it or not – food is at the center of this season, but there is no rule that says you have to serve high carb food, so get creative and have some fun.
For the love of......
