Carrot and celery sticks with humous (although humous has a lot of fat but it's healthy). You could make your own and put less oil in.

Jacobs crackers 34 calories per cracker

Chop up some fruit for a fruit salad

Rice cakes (some can be salty)

Popcorn without sugar or salt

Seed mix like sunflower seeds (although can be high in fat)

Aubergine Hummus

This is an awesome combination of Baba Ganoush and Regular Hummus. It is fantastic as a dip, or spread on some brown bread or a wholemeal pitta with spinach and sundried tomatoes.

Aubergine Hummus
Serves: 8

1 aubergine
1 garlic clove
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp lemon juice
2g cumin
200g chickpeas, dried
1 tbsp olive oil
1 chicken/veggie stock cube

Soak the chickpeas in water overnight
Then cook them in the same water with the stock cube added in for 20 mins.
Roast the aubergine until the skin is blackened. When it is cooled you can just peel off the skin and the flesh will be mostly mashable.
Mash the aubergine with the crushed garlic, salt, cumin, lemon juice and olive oil.
Drain the chick peas but reserve the water.
Add the chickpeas to the aubergine mixture with a little of the reserved water and blitz with a hand blender. Add a little more water if it is too thick, but not too much.

It makes 8 large (100g) portions, but you could stretch it out further.

Stuffed Mushrooms sound really good!~!~! Thank you for all the ideas. I am actually having a meeting with about 7 ppl in my home. I dont have a coffee table so I want to have some finger foods so ppl can just grab from the table and have a seat on the couch. Kind of dinner finger foods, like chicken strips???
