God forbid you don’t have something green on the plate at Thanksgiving… you just might go on a brown and tan overload. We like to stick to the traditional green bean, though not in the traditional form of a can-of-soup-and-onion-string casserole (something that has never appealed to me). This year we were able to pick up a bag of beautiful fresh haricots verts (pronounced harry-co-vair, or something, it’s french, you figure it out) Delicately thin and more tender than standard green beans, they cook in an instant and disappear off the plate even faster, though you could easily substitute standard green beans as well....

WHAT ARE FAT BOMBS? What is a fat bomb? Well, these keto snacks are kinda similar to energy balls but instead of being full of carbs, they are high in fats (85% fat content) and low in carbs.
