I've been hearing comments around the gym like, "What are you going to serve at this party? Like, raw carrot sticks, and...stuff."
Like, no. First, you're being stereotypical. Second, you don't even know enough healthy food to be properly stereotypical. I am a firm believer that the ingredients for a good party are as follows:
1. Good guests
2. Good food
We've already got the good guest part covered (including people's spouses and families, we're looking at around 60 people already!) In order to disspell any fears about boring, healthy food sadly wilting in party trays, here's the menu for this Saturday.
Bean and orzo pasta salad
Celery with walnuts and dates salad
A special herb nut mix
Fennel & honey glazed carrot sticks (O.K. they are not raw, but Tonya couldn't resist having the sterotypical carrot sticks with a flare)
Home made salsa with some brand of healthy chips
Vegetarian Black Bean Chili
Fresh Fruit
Gluten and dairy free oatmeal cookies (it is possible to make a good, wheat and dairy free cookie, you'll be amazed)
Gluten & wheat free chocolate brownies (Tonya ate too many while preparing but managed to tear herself away to save some for the party! )
With all that to choose from, everyone should be able to find something that will make them happy and full. Any suggestions for a good dessert in the comment section would be appreciated!
