[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the best winter parties I ever attended was a n open house with a grilled cheese bar with lots of combo options.  It was warm, homey, and delicious.

I don't know if I'm hoping the grilled cheese snob and the insistent salad/veggie poster is one person, or two.  Do I feel better thinking there are two very miserable people in the world, or one extremely miserable person?[/quote]

LOL. I always have a fresh option when I host. Usually a vegetable tray. Guess who ends up eating an entire ziploc bag of cut veggies throughout the week after the party because nobody touched my healthy option? Me. Maybe my New Years resolution will be to stop trying to make a vegetable tray happen. OTH at least I eat significantly more vegetables after my parties 🤣

Maybe try harder than a fresh vegetable tray? Healthy doesn’t just mean raw vegetables with ranch dip.[/quote]

Please share what you make that people eat-  I would love ideas!  I do the vegetable tray as an easy finger food and I think the fresh crunch is a nice contrast  to the heavier apps.  I usually do all colors of peppers, carrots, cucumber, radish, and blanched green beans.  Tell us what you make that’s so awesome![/quote]

My husband is vegan who might loosen the reins and go vegetarian for the holidays and eat cheese and dairy, so I have to get creative to keep everyone happy. We do a roasted cauliflower with crispy chickpeas and a tahini sauce, vegetarian sushi rolls, flat breads, hummus, buffalo cauliflower (with blue cheese dip for non vegans), bruschetta, cowboy caviar, tabbouleh, corn black bean salad, spanakopita, and a cheese board with fresh and dried fruits, nuts, pickled vegetables, etc. There are so many things that can taste good and not be as indulgent as other things. They don't even have to be billed as "healthy" they just taste good and can hold their own in any appetizer or dinner spread.[/quote]

Well, we get migraines from too many legumes and pickles. So we would avoid many of those dishes to avoid a major headache the next morning. [/quote]
