Helllooo! I have been endlessly searching the internet for some yummy low calorie appetizer / snack-ish ideas. I am having a Girls Night In this weekend and since I just started on MFP this past friday I want to try not to get off track even a little!

Anyone have any ideas?
It's not really a fancy thing, just a fun night in with some drinks (low calorie margaritas of course) and a little risque entertainment :drinker: hahaha.

please post any recipes or ideas you may have, and thanks in advance!!

    Put a container of nonfat cottage cheese into a food processor, add a package of ranch powder and let it rip!! Blend until smooth and serve with vegetables or crackers. Its fabulous and you can not tell that the cottage cheese is nonfat!!

    athens mini phyllo shells are 2 for 30 cal, and you can fill them with anything . my faves...chuncky salsa/pico de gallo,herb low fat cream cheese,tuna/chicken salad,fruit/nuts with sweetened cream cheese,.....pretty much any filling/dip you like to have with something crisp. they look like fancy with little workthey can be used straight out of box or baked,found in freezer section of breads at most stores.

    my favorite like crab rangoons are made with lowfat cream cheese ,scallions,crab meat , tsp soy sauce, mix,spoonful in each shell then bake around 15min at 350.

    Squeezing lemon juice on should work on the apples
    or just cut immediately before serving.

    i like fresh vegies and dip
    like carrot, celery, cucumber, capcicum
    and then if you serve that with some of the dips the other ladies have suggested, like th cottage cheese or maybe a low fat avocado.

    hanging out with the girls, sound like fun!
