Does anyone have any ideas for any low or lower calorie food I can make to bring to an office christmas party. It would be even better if it were kind of easy to make.

I think I'm a little hesitant in my own ideas right now after making brownies with pumpkin for a party. They weren't so good but I wasn't sure if they tasted acceptable or not so I kept eating them trying to decide. I would have been much better off making regular brownies and just eating a couple.

    I just made these puppies, prosciutto-wrapped mini quiches. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Quiche-in-Prosciutto-Cups-356529

    They are (surprisingly!) pretty easy to make and they work out to 50 calories each! I doubled the recipe (don't double the prosciutto, though...Half a slice per quiche is more than enough) and made mine in muffin tins.

    Some tips if you do make them:
    - Don't add salt or the olives (the prosciutto is uber-salty)
    - Try subbing skim milk for the greek yogurt (the texture seemed a bit off and I think it was the yogurt)
    - Add a few cloves of garlic and a scallion (saute down before adding to egg mixture). I also added some fresh chives -- yum.
    - When layering the prosciutto (make sure it's thin-cut), slice each piece in half beforehand -- it holds easier.

    I'm also planning on making a pavlova with vanilla-scented greek yogurt and poached pears this weekend. Since the pavlova is made from egg whites (and because I'm subbing sugar with a Splenda substitute), each piece should be only about 150 calories... Not too shabby. Can't tell you how it tastes, though.

    Good luck with whatever you choose to make!!!

    ok this is really simple but its cute and healthy get a bunch of strawberries and cut off the top point put whip cream on it and place the top back on then but a dab of whip cream on the point, to complete the look take a hersheys bar and shave pieces off and stick them in the whip cream and you have a santa! they are really cute, quick to make and fun to eat. here is a pic on google: http://yaydiy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Santa-Strawberries1-300x201.jpg
