Night before: Slather in olive oil, bake for 30 mins 375, let cool. Cut, seed and cube much softer and easier 😊

[@deborahbailey292]

Roasted mmmmm😋

[@Mag_Poro]

To desolve the gelitine, put it in a cup with just a little water to cover the gelitine. Give it a little stir and let it sit for 5 min for the gelitine to "bloom" and become spongy. Then microwave it 10 or 20 seconds to melt. Then pour that into your hot liquid and stir. Vwala! 😁

Thank you for this xx

Exactly!

[@janettedecent1197]

Cold water to start then heat after it blooms

[@comfortcreekranch4948]

I wonder if you could cook the squash in the oven BEFORE trying to cut it. That's how I cook Spaghetti Squash, WHOLE, no cutting until after done, makes it MUCH EASIER! Hope this helps! Hello from N.E. Texas!

[@victoriagross8178]

LOL...it's been about 5 years. You two are such a delight to watch!

Aww thanks Victoria 🤣-Em

Hahahhaah

I agree! 🥰🥰

[@sylviapainter2678]

I think the faux sweet potatoes casserole. Needed little heavy cream and a egg or two. Here in the South, we would call it a souffle

[@coleenhuff432]

Oh my goodness that casserole looks soooooo good. I think the cranberry jelly might have worked better if you left the cranberries in and mixed it with an immersion blender.

[@ironrose888]

Great idea!

[@N0it]

Lmao it's been about 5 years and we arrived at cubed butternut squash

[@ketotwins]

I almost chopped off my fingers lol, butternut squash are oddly shaped 🤣-Em

[@N0it]

@@ketotwins wew but so delicious. Worth!

[@judyross182]

I am a lazy cook. I make the cranberry sauce with sweetener, orange juice, orange zest and then cook cranberries but don't "jell" it. I have also cooked the berries and mixed it in strawberry Jell-O. My husband wouldn't eat cauliflower (although I love it) so I would just cube the squash bake it, smush it with a fork after adding butter, sweetener, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, then top it with the nuts and bake it until crispy. It's nice to see other methods of making these traditional Thanksgiving dishes and I'm sure I'll use them at some point. This is the second time I've watched this video. Thanks for doing this.

[@vantelontheroad1750]

Microwave tithe squash before you peel for a 1-2 minutes it will make it easier to peel.

[@nancycloud360]

I do not peel the skin off. I use my new pressure cooker set on steam vegetables for 8-10 minutes. Wow is it sweet and soft enough to eat. I watch your channel for its entertainment value. Thanks for being transparent about your collective process.

[@michelemyers1515]

You guys, wow you’re reading my mind. Out of 23 family members for thanksgiving dinner 3 on keto This is making my dinner have hope. Perfect timing. Btw so funny😂

[@ketotwins]

3 out of 23 is actually impressive 🤣🤣-Em

[@SS-qx7nh]

“So, it has been about 5 years . . . “ 🤣🤣

[@genievibes3675]

"it's been about 5 years" and the squash is cut LMAO

[@TheEMC99]

I'm SO doing that casserole this year! Yum!

[@celestesuter1148]

As others have said, there is no need to cut or peel the squash. I place a squash (butternut, pumpkin, acorn, etc. ) on a silicone or foil lined baking sheet, poke with a knife a few times then roast at 350° for about an hour or until soft. Let cool, cut open (the skin is very soft at this point) scoop out seeds, then scoop out soft flesh and purée. Super simple! For pumpkin, I also clean the seeds off, soak in salt water overnight, drain, then roast until fully dry. Eat shell and all. So yummy! Going to be trying both of these for Thanksgiving!

[@KittKat07]

Stopping by again to mention I will be making the "sweet potato" casserole recipe AGAIN, this time for Christmas. Just want to say, you gals single-handedly saved our holidays. THANK YOU!

[@ketotwins]

Yay! So glad you liked it ❤️❤️❤️

[@YourPalMisty]

I never have liked Cranberry sauce, but I know you just made a lot of keto people happy by sharing that recipe. I am also of the unpopular opinion that sweet potatoes taste best with butter and black pepper. Turning them into a sweet dessert never really did make sense to me. I know it's delicious, but I'd rather have it plain. I do love the idea of using the butternut squash as a substitute and the cauliflower would disappear with all that flavor.

[@ketotwins]

Sarah and I do think that it would make a great savory dish as well! Maybe with some garlic and paprika or rosemary! Yum! -Emily

[@suesmith8326]

I know this is an older video but I had to tell you how much I enjoyed it. Y'all are so fun. Tip: when you cut up larger squash like butternut or spaghetti if you put the whole squash in the microwave for 5 to 10 min it makes it so much easier to cut.

[@ketotwins]

Thanks for the tip Sue ❤️

[@sherriruud3830]

I buy frozen cubed butternut squash from Aldi. Easy-peasy.

[@mywifetheartist]

Baked butternut squash is so delicious. This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@deanablythe9394]

You did an amazing job of peeling that Butternut squash, well done, I find it so hard to peel that I leave the skin on and roast it, and then when it's cooked remove the skin, it's so much easier, when it's cooked. That casserole looked brilliant, I am even considering copying it, thanks for sharing. You did great with the cranberry jelly too, well done, showing us that it is so easy to get into a lumpy mess with gelatine. I loved Sarah's comment, we make mistakes so you don't have to, keep up the great work ladies.

[@ketotwins]

Aww thank you for your kind words Deana!! -Em

[@robinmoser7343]

Hey sweetie, I make my Keto sweet potato casserole using butternut that’s been in a steamer. The peeling falls off of it and you don’t have to blend it very much at all. Get yourself a sunbeam rice and vegetable steamer! Or any veggie steamer! I steam my veggies and then do what needs to be done with them. If you want to just lightly steam veggies then sautéed them it cuts down the sauté time. Just a thought.

[@jules8367]

I made this keto sweet potato casserole last Christmas and let me say ... it is excellent! It tastes exactly like sweet potato casserole should taste! That's my favorite casserole at the holidays and I had missed it, but I was so freaking happy when I tasted this I cannot believe that butternut squash and mashed cauliflower together would taste like sweet potato but they do! Absolutely one of my favorite holiday keto recipes ever!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. ( to make it easier, I just buy cubed raw butternut squash from Trader Joe's... so much easier than getting the whole thing and doing it yourself) 😃😃😃

[@pamgoodson9688]

So glad I caught this my niece has been diagnosed as diabetic, and is taking insulin, and I am back home my low-carb so these recipes are definitely going on the list!😄

[@miabclothingketo1919]

[@isisjohnson-brown372]

Thank you. The cranberry sauce worked. I love that I can look forward to my turkey and cranberry sauce. You two are great. Thanks for what you do.

[@marceasusanna7749]

If you put gelatin in the cranberry sauce you have to soften it with cold water and then add it 2 what you're trying to thicken up

[@patchesbubs9269]

Thanks for testing all these recipes out for us! Y’all are adorable & give me hope to keep going with Keto💖💖

Butternut squash soup.... cut squash in half roast for 1 hour seasoned with cinnamon , let cool saute a small white onion in soup pot add chicken stock then add squash and blend with stick blender season to taste. you can add a half cup of heavy cream if you think it needs it

Thank you 🥴🙈

[@cheryljones6332]

I no longer have the source, but I read that you could soften butternut squash before cutting by putting in the microwave for a few minutes. Guess I will be experimenting when I do this recipe because I am awful with knives and risk cutting off a finger! This all looks so good! Thank you for making keto an option for those of us who just can't be hard core! 😊

[@leslieprice9224]

Absolutely love your videos, they’re very real and provide many tips, humor too! Glad you did this casserole, as I have the authors cookbook and never made the recipe! Huge thanks, happy Thanksgiving!

[@tracyrussell4116]

Butternut squash and cauliflower! Baked first what a great idea ! And I don’t mind chunky! The cranberry recipe sounds good. I’ve been trying to make cranberry sauce also. I am familiar with gelatin which is dissolved first in cold water (unless the Brand packet of Jell-O )All water could of been. I will try both of these! Thanks!

[@jeepgurl1379]

Only a fruit has seeds, though...lol when my son was in second grade he taught me that! 😱

Thank you

[@trixieknits]

Use sugarfree cherry jello instead of geletin. It’s really delish.

[@brandishaw778]

Love your recipes! I started using a triangle peeler and it's way easier as you can lay the squash on its side and peel away much faster .

[@ketotwins]

We will have to look that up :)

Can't wait to try that casserole!

Love watching your videos. Ordering LMNT today. I'm going to try these recipes & maybe pour the jello into an empty can of cranberry sauce so it looks even more legit!

[@ketotwins]

Aww thank you!

[@janetsacher8557]

Actually best to bloom gelatin in a little bit of room temp water and add it to the hot stuff so it doesn't clump.

[@naomijones3521]

You guys have such great synergy. I think maybe because you are sisters, I watch your videos and feel like I am hanging out with some friends.

[@ketotwins]

Aww thank you! That means a lot to us Naomi! -Em

[@sherifreiheit6670]

If you score the skin of the squash in a few places then steam it in a covered pan with a few cups of water for about ten minutes. Take out let cool for about five min the skin will pull off then you can cut and remove seeds much easier.

[@lauranoto8524]

No need for the Gelatin. Cranberry have natural pectin. Recipe on ocean spray bag. Use sugar substitute. I add Grated orange skin. No straining necessary. It's whole Cranberry sauce and delicious.

It’s squash 🤣

OK so I just have to stop what I’m doing it is Thanksgiving day you girls are saving me I made the butternut squash I didn’t have the pecans but I had a bag of keto clusters, Which is pecans almonds and pumpkin seeds, Melted butter put through the food processor sprinkle them on top… Oh my god it’s so good it taste like pumpkin pie

[@zensbleexperience3470]

I love butternut squash but I do not love to prep it! I might try frozen

[@waiting1962]

Microwave the whole squash a few minutes... should peel a lot easier.

I cook my spaghetti squash whole in the microwave after repeatedly stabbing it. You can then slice it open without amputating anything. I wonder if it would also apply to butternut as well.

[@marshabaker6153]

Wondering if baking the Squash a bit first, then scooping out the seeds and the squash, might be easier??? Just a thought.

[@kayakinggrandmakelly7105]

I would mold the cranberry sauce in an empty can, even if I had to buy the bad kind and throw it out. My family would not eat it if it was not shaped like a can! Lol😂

[@ketotwins]

I used to love the stuff in the can 🤣

[@festussmom6364]

With jello you mix it in hot liquid until it dissolves and then you add the 2 cups of cold water, stir and pour into mold.. 💋🧚🏻‍♀️❤️🇺🇸

[@suzyhayden8643]

Don't think they have ever made Jello... ???

[@mikeware1764]

That looks delicious! Safe your fingers and use canned pumpkin puree. Hey, pumpkin is in the squash family. Please don't take on peeling, cutting, or slicing celery root. I don't think it will end well.

[@edwardcastillo9590]

Awesome video, I think for the Cramberry Helly you could also substitude the gelatin with Xantham Gum and that we it would be vegan as well :) just make sure to check how much xantham gum to use, I little thickens a lot. Cheers from Costa Rica

That’s a great idea!! Next time!! -Emily

[@SEXACJUN1]

Up until I looked butternut squash up, I said that looks good. Unfortunately it's too high in carbs for me. THANKS for sharing

[@ketotwins]

Butternut squash has a decent amount of carbs, but adding in half cauliflower helps bring that carb count down to around 5 net carbs a serving -Emily

[@trixieknits]

Yum!!! I will totally make this. Do you think it would be good without the cauliflower- just looking to make it easier. Also when mixing something messy, place in sink and mix it. I do that when I pound pomegranate seeds out of their shells.

[@ketotwins]

We haven’t tried it with just the cauliflower

[@melissamoves8355]

I would have stabbed the butternut squash with a knife and roasted it in the oven on 200 until soft usually over night that's what I do with my garden pumpkin the seeds and peel just fall off or are able to scoop away

[@mcomeslast]

Butternut squash is easier to peel if you remove the ends and quarter it. I’m going to try it with the extra tips from the comments.

[@joyceedwards9652]

Use an immersion blender

[@karlahernandez5750]

Cut the squash in about half inch rounds then peel with a knife. Much easier than using a vegetable peeler.

[@ProwlersPit]

I was kind of craving potato pancakes. So I came up with a recipe that turned out pretty good. Love for you guys to try it and tell me what you think. First take 2/3 cup of sauerkraut and dry it off. Then take roughly two slices of a small onion. And throw into a food processor. Let it finally chop it. Now add in the sauerkraut and chop it again. Then add two tablespoons of quinoa flour One teaspoon of French onion seasoning One teaspoon of psyllium husk. 1/8 cup of yellow cheddar cheese 1/8 cup of mozzarella. And blend again Pour into a bowl and add one jumbo egg. Mixed with a fork. This should be enough for three chaffles. Once waffle makers ready put down a little cheddar cheese. And then your mixture topped with some more cheddar cheese. Also with my sour cream I put some ranch season in it. I think I'm going to actually try to do it in oil like you do traditional potato pancakes

[@ketotwins]

Thanks for sharing! We will try it out 🤗

[@susanfisher8944]

It tasted good as prepared, but unfortunately I couldn’t pretend it tasted at all like sweet potato in any form. Sad😢

[@onespeedlite]

I hate cutting squash, because they are so hard to cut. I'm always weary of slicing off my finger. What I do is to use the claw side of a hammer and break a squash in half. That makes cutting a little more easier after they have been broken into several pieces. I saw a video of a KZbin cook cutting a squash on a plate on top of a slick counter. That scared the heck out of me, and I hoped her viewers don't do the same thing.

[@ketotwins]

That’s a great tip! I’ll have to try it sometimes, it was pretty awkward and scary cutting it! -Em

Question. So why not pumpkin from a can instead of butternut squash just to make it easier. Butternut is more carbi I think than some of the other squashes. So How can we make it less pumpkin tasting? Maybe mix with ground zucchini? That wouldn't be creamy. Thoughts?

We like to try new things
