Oh my goodness, there are so many options. Dips made with reduced fat sour cream and chopped veggies/herbs. hummus or other bean dips, guacamole, shrimp w cocktail sauce, pickled/marinated veggies, smoked salmon, stuffed mushrooms, grilled zucchini, eggplant and carrot slices chilled and topped with vinaigrette, deviled eggs, mini quiches, take your favorite healthy casserole recipe and make it in a muffin pan for individual servings or a mini-muffin pan or one-bite servings.0
