Food ideas to take to party

[BAZZA_P]

Well tomorrow is the Champions League Final Man Utd v Barcelona and my Brother is having the whole family round his to enjoy the match and have plenty of food and drink.

I said id take some of my healthy diabetic friendly food for everyone to try.

What would you guys take??? Im might do some of those turkey burgers i posted. Was gonna take a sald but its a bit boring. Can anyopne suggest some great party food i could make to take?

Basically since ive started cooking and eating healthy now i want to show off!!!!

what do you mean by healthy? low carb so it doesnt have much impact on your bg or do you mean low fat and low calorie. I have a few nice recipes but they are quite high in calories

Hi BAZZA - google low carb party food and you will get loads of sites with recipes and tips - I just did it and they're are a lot

Try this site it has a low carb superbowl party - similar to that football thingy isn it not? :wink:

What we found good for James owing to being coeliac were fruit skewers. We were at a party a few years ago, took some sandwiches, crisps, cocktail sausages and our friend did these skewers for James as he could not have any of the sweet treats. They were so good that everyone was going for them and poor James was not happy :lol:

So your turkey burgers with the fruit skewers should be a definite hit

Bazza - your turkey burgers looked nice. Why not make some canapes, with a mini burger, half a cherry tomatoe (or a sun dried/sun blush tomatoe slice) and a mozerella pearl on a cocktail stick?

Perfect example of a lo-carb snack.

Patch- when are you going to write a cook book for us T2's? Ah go on..you know you want to!

I've given it a lot of thought... Truth is, anyone can spend an hour on Google and get a whole host of great recipes, and modify them to their own taste. For me, that usually just means adding chilli or cheese!!!

I might consider doing an e-book at some point. Won't be until work quietens down a bit though! :wink:

How about a a low carb trifle .Layer fresh berries or blackcurrents then choc mousse made with high cocoa dark choc melted and beaten with double cream a layer of cream on top with some choc grated on top with a few berries and mint leaves to decorate .This can be made in a large trifle dish or individual sundae dishes.
