    Low fat chilli is ace! Also homemade low fat banana bread. Home made meringues with fruit. All healthy and yummy. My family love coming eating this at my house even though it is healthier than pizza and stuff. Healthy doesn't have to be not tasty, and your doing them a favour too. X

    Healthy food isn't a punishment so I deny the idea there must be "regular" food, it's simply just the food they're expecting, but anyways that turkey chili above looks good, or you could do like a turkey taco self serving thing. put out all the veggies, and what not and those are some what low carb more with the shells of course. healthier options of pizza if you cook it yourself or like a veggie pizza or thin crust, whatever you like. you could serve like nuts already portioned out. you could do like homemade lemonade for drinks. raw vegetables with homemade dips or peanut butter

    How about build your own burgers? Lean ground beef or turkey, lots of tomatos, grilled onions (in Pam), fat reduced cheese, lettuce, avocado, and BBQ sauce, and other condiments. Pop Chips, Sun Chips,and low fat dips. Basically do better, healthful fast food. They probably won't even realize it because homemade is so much better. And sweet potato fries are so good!

    It always is! My husband is writing a RPG and his gang loves RPG's so we get together to play test the one he is writing for like 5-6 hours every other sunday! We have lots of fun except that we all eat so bad and since I have started this mission in life everyone else is kinda getting interested to! So we are trying to get ideas to make it healthier on top of the fun!

    I love my dad's chili but it's so bad. I'd love to try it lower cal.
    Do you have a recipe for the banana bread?

    edit: Oh. Messaged. :)

    That is a great idea! We used to do build your own taco's but we got kinda tired of that. This would be cool!

    Fondue...it's what I'm known for. Cheese and chocolate. And lots of pretty boys in heels. My kind of party!

    I just want to know if you dip the boys in the cheese or the chocolate.

    on pinterest I found taco cups they look yummy to me (havent tried them) but just having one should be fine for you.
    here's website with picture and recipe:

    Also individual 7 layer dips is a great idea you can have just one and get in enough to satisfy your taste buds:

    Also you could throw together air popped popcorn with m&m's and eat it but pick out the m&m's out of your individual handful that way your guest do not have to go with out it and it will save you on tons of calories!

    I typically have pretzels and baked potato chips, tortillas and salsa, assorted veggies and dip, and I bake popcorn chicken nuggets, some with buffalo sauce and some with barbecue sauce. Sometimes I make spinach and ricotta stuffed shells. Sometimes enchiladas filled with chicken, beans, spinach, corn and peppers... kind of like Chili's SW eggrolls without being deep fried.

    Food is great, but the guests are what really make the party. And the booze. Can't forget the booze!

    So every one can and should eat healthy just like me,

    I don't want to get into an arguement here with you, but that is the WRONG aproach. You should NOT be imposing your beliefs or lifestyle on anyone else. Even if the party is in your home.

    agree... you will build a prison for yourself
