If you find yourself hosting a party or celebration, you don't have to sacrifice good taste for good health. With some planning, you and your guests can enjoy foods and drinks that won't be cause for regret the next day. A holiday party is no exception. Raw vegetables make for a colorful platter that offers crunch as well as good nutrition.
Pretzels are a good non-fat alternative to chips.
You can also slice up some low-fat cheese and serve it with plain crackers. Make sure you have low-calorie beverages and seltzers on hand, as well as juices. Compared to frying, it's healthier to bake, roast or broil foods, keeping oil or butter to a minimum. Be sure to offer salads and vegetables, preferably with dressings or sauces served on the side. By serving gravy and sauces on the side, you let guests decide how much or little they want with their food.
