ideas...

So, I'm going to one of my best friends bachelorette parties tomorrow night. I've already decided that I'm not going to drink at all but I ran into another problem. Everyone is supposed to bring an appetizer to share and I can't seem to find any carb friendly ones. Does anyone have any ideas? I want to make sure that there is something there that I can eat so that I don't go on a carb binge. Any ideas or suggestions?

Re: ideas...

you can do meat (summer sausage/ turkey/ ham) cubes with cheese cubes.. you can put a meat and cheese cube on a cute little toothpick (finger food) and maybe crackers on the side for those who want them..

or.. instead of melting cheese/with meat on a triscuit (used to love these) try a thicker slice of the meat with cheese and melt the cheese on top and just leave it that way for finger food

try a veggie / dip tray - dip can be ranch dressing type dip (2 carbs per serving- read lables)

or.. there is a recipe i found on recipes.com (i think) for stuffed mushrooms.. usually the mushrooms are stuffed with a stuffing type bread product.. this recipe i found used cream cheese, parmasean, and .. i think one other thing.. garlic salt.. yea garlic salt... mix up and put in the mushrooms.. then bake... they are to die for !

You can also stuff the mushrooms with popcorn shrimp or crab meat! Yum!

Thank you both! The mushrooms sound awesome and a meat and cheese tray never even crossed my mind! Thanks a bunch!
