Hi,
I've been wanting to throw a little get together with my friends. I'm trying to eat healthier recently. The only thing is, I LOVE serving appetizers, rather than an actual meal, but the only thing I can think of is sliced fruit and veggies, lol.
Any recipes or tips would be appreciated. :)

    Healthy dips, pigs in a blanket with whole wheat dough and chicken or veggie hot dogs instead of pork

    - Spinach dip
    - hummus with whole wheat crackers
    - cut up pitas and bake them and you can use them as chips with salsa or other dips
    - tortillas with some low fat cream cheese, grated cheese and cut up peppers with green onions. You roll up the tortillas and bake for about 8 minutes and then cut them and arrange on a plate...very yummy and nice to look at.

    Mix plain yogurt & dill (if it's dried dill do this ahead of time and let sit for a while)
    Slice cucumber
    Top with smoked salmon and a dollop of the yogurt/dill combo.

    Made it for thanksgiving and my teen-aged niece liked it so much she requested it for Xmas too.

    Dolmades are stuffed grape leaves! Yummy Greek recipe!


    I was going to suggest some nice vegetarian spring rolls! Just get the won-ton or spring roll wrappers; slice up carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado into matchstick shapes; add some bean sprouts and cilantro; wrap them all up and seal the edges with a bit of water. Serve with chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping!
