[QUOTE="PenguinMum, post: 1926496, member: 461597"] Last Christmas I had only been diagnosed a few weeks earlier. The Christmas dinner, leftover cold cuts, and salads the following days were all fine. I am not a dessert fan but if I fancy a spoonful of Christmas pud or small slice of Christmas cake on the day so be it. I managed to keep my hand out of the Quality Street, my biggest temptation is clementines. Can I just mention canapes/nibbles though. When friends, neighbours pop in for a drink etc. Do not buy the supermarket party food, it really is all high carb and with a bit of forethought you can rustle up lovely low carb alternatives that everyone will like. Last Christmas with help of my son we produced at virtually no notice the following: Large prawn on a Little Gem heart leaf with tiny mayo or sauce, seasoning Smoked salmon on small fingers seeded bread or just twisted around a cocktail stick Wedges of lemon, black pepper Cocktail sticks with feta cube, half cherry tomato and black olive on top Speared small cube melon with twist of parma/serrano ham on top Good quality precooked cocktail sausages Hardboiled small hens eggs halved with dab mayo (or quails eggs) Cube of nice cheddar cucumber Small shapes of crustless quiche or frittata We ate trays of the above during Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day leading up to candlelit dinner on the day itself.
