General Tips for Being Food Safe on Thanksgiving
Listen, I get it, you start drinking and eating and all the sudden someone puts a deviled egg in their mouth after it has been sitting out for a few hours. So here is the scoop on being safe - Don't let your food chill for more than 2-hours after you have cooked it or pulled it from the fridge. Most of the low-carb foods are also way better when they are hot or chilled anyway.
