This Chicken, Squash & Spinach Keto Casserole is a tasty low-carb dinner with everyone’s Keto favorite – Parmesan cheese! Yes, please!

Chicken, Squash & Spinach Keto Casserole

We love the introduction of spaghetti squash and rice cauliflower. I understand the veggies have been around a long time, but it is so nice to have an option to substitute for high-carbohydrate foods such as white rice. If you love csseroles, this low-carb dinner does not disappoint. This Chicken, Squash & Spinach Keto Casserole incorporates everyone’s keto favorite – cheese!

According to Healthline.com, a ketogenic diet (often termed keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. The reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.

A Keto diet can be very flavorful, you really are not limited on taste but you are limited on some foods. In short, you should eat REAL food such as meat, eggs, nuts, yogurt, vegetables and occasionally some fruits. Apart from the obvious limitation of carbohydrates in foods, it is also recommended to avoid processed food and any food that may contain preservatives and colorings. Again, low-carb, high-fat!

Want a general of idea what you can eat? This Keto Cheat Sheet PDF includes a list of drinks, fats, veggies, fruits, meats, condiments, sweets and more that you can eat on a keto-friendly diet.

These inspiring lush edible table runners will create a memorable event talked about forever. Turn you into an amazing hostess with tablescape centered with a greenery table runner surrounded by a bite-sized appetizing menu including fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, cheeses, desserts and more.

Edible Table Runners

I am not the best hostess. In fact a few years ago I created a post Holiday Hosting Tips for you all, but it was truly more for me! I treat hostesses well but I never hold an event well. I think the stress of prepping gives me more anxiety than he reason for the occasion.

Since we have not family this Thanksgiving, I started looking (far in advance) for Friendsgiving Thanskgiving Ideas. This edible table runner hosting idea was a favorite for me. I saw it as lowing my anxiety because everything was immediately displayed for my guests. There was no pulling items in and out of the oven. The pressure of a menu and tablescape overlapped, becoming one. It also was different and stood out, bringing everyone to the table for fellowship.

What is an Edible Table Runner?

There is probably not much we need to describe, as it pretty much describes itself. An edible table runner is a centerpiece full of small bites eat. The centerpiece runs down the length of the table, no food is typically passed. An edible runner should look lush and appetizing, and typically is made of fruits, vegetables, breads, meats, cheeses and desserts. An edible table runner can fit the season – winter, spring, summer and fall or it can fit the holiday and occasion – Thanksgiving, Easter, brunch and whatever!

To decorate, start with your base. It’s good to lay down a corresponding table cloth (stick with a neutral table cloth like a waterproof tan linen so the colors of your foods pop). Then lay down a runner. We are a big fan greenery table runners. After your tablecloth and runner, move your way to larger edible pieces. This includes loafs of bread or large fruits like pumpkins or cantaloupe. Next work your way down to the medium edible bites and then smaller edible items.

Greenery Table Runners

Choosing greenery as your table runner or centerpieces is a great decor option that can be dressed up or dressed down. It looks amazing with bright fruits and veggies. Use year-round in all seasons. Is it the dead of winter? Will the heat wilt your leaves in summer? Don’t fret. Amazon has plenty of greenery table runners to add a pop of color to your edible table runner.

We love these Faux Greenery Table Runners:

Your Awana Grand Prix Resource. Ideas for Awana Grand Prix Cars plus the Grand Prix Race Rules, Pinewood Derby Car Templates and More!

Awana Grand Prix

What is Awana?

Have you ever wondered What is Awana? My older kids have been in Awana for three years, I have taught for two, and it wasn’t until recently I realized Awana was an acronym for “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed” as taken from 2 Timothy 2:15.

2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV) reads “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.“

Awana is international evangelical Christian nonprofit organization founded in 1950, headquartered in Streamwood, Illinois. The Awana website tells the story of the organization.

https://www.awana.org/about/

The organization is known not only for Bible verses and evangelism, they also are known for games, activities, and the popular Awana Grand Prix.

Awana Grand Prix Rules

Similar to the Pinewood Derby, the Awana Grand Prix has a set of rules. You can find the Awana Grand Prix Rules here, but keep in mind, rules may very from church to church, location to location.

These Grand Prix Rules tend to be common place.

1.) Cars raced in previous years are not eligible.

2.) Only one car per person may be entered in the race.

3.) Car weight shall not exceed 5 oz.

4.) The chassis should not be lower than 3/8 of an inch from the ground

5.) Race cars may be no longer than 7 inches, nor wider than 2.75 inches, nor taller than 3 inches in
overall height, a

6.) Inside wheel to wheel clearance should be at least 1.75 inches so that the car will run on the race track.

7.) If a car jumps the track during the race, begin the race over. If a car jumps the track three times, it is eliminated.

Awana Grand Prix Template

Once you have your Awana Grand Prix Single Awana Car Kit, you are going to want to design and personalize your car. Keeping in mind, the rules of the race and the car’s dimensions, you can design your car. The best way to give your car shape is using an Awana Grand Prix Template. There are places to purchase these Pinewood Derby Templates. By making a purchase, you are likely getting a unique design that others might not have access to – that is an option.

Free Awana Grand Prix Templates

You can also look for free Awana Grand Prix Templates. We found a a few for you.

Why reinvent the wheel? If you are looking for Derby car templates, ask around. Either people have templates from years before or their kit came with multiple templates and they are willing to share one or two.

Many churches have open workshops where you can work on your Grand Prix car. If this is the case, visit those workshops, use tools and inquire about templates.

Awana Grand Prix Car Ideas

Without further ado, I present you Awana Grand Prix Car Ideas!

Note: Some of these cars appear to not fit dimensions. Confirm with your church or Awana location if you can have accessories that go beyond the width/length/height of the required dimensions.
