For many people, sticking to a healthy diet is most difficult during holidays. We Americans tend toward indulgence; we think, "Oh, I need to treat myself once in a while!" We also associate so many traditions and warm thoughts with special-occasion food. And while some people may be able to cheat on their diet come Easter, many of us who use keto therapeutically cannot. And that's okay - because keto food is delicious! And as I like to remind myself whenever I'm a little tempted to stray into carby things:

"No food is worth being ill for." 

So whether you choose keto to treat an autoimmune disorder (as I do), diabetes (also as I do), Parkinson's, heart disease, cancer...or simply because you feel so much better eating this way, let me offer up a few recipes to help you get through the Easter season without feeling deprived. I've even included links for creme-filled and peanut butter eggs!
