Summer is about relaxing by the pool, having cookouts with friends and family, vacations, and enjoying the sunny weather. What I love about summer is that we have our yearly family reunion where my entire extended family comes together from all over to celebrate on one day. This is always a great chance to catch up with everyone, play games, and eat some good food. We used to have our family reunion catered but it got to be too expensive so we decided to make it potluck style where everyone has to bring a dish or two.
I’m always looking for something new to make and change it up a bit. It’s always fun to try new dishes that my family brings and exchange recipes. This year I decided to make my Low Carb Spicy Sausage Pizza Dip since I’ve been following the ketogenic diet. Plus, I know I will be able to eat something when I’m there in case no one else brings a keto/low carb dish. It makes a great side dish to dip keto crackers or even keto pepperoni pizza sticks with a little bit of kick. I can’t wait to bring it to my family reunion to have everyone try it.
