The season of Christmas get togethers, class parties and family festivities is upon us. So many times these are potluck type events where we are supposed to bring a dish. It is always nice to have some healthy options available that are tasty and sometimes fun as well. Here are a few ideas to inspire you, including some simple dishes that can be thrown together at the last minute with no cooking required.
Veggie tray with dip from Betty Crocker- a few dip ideas include: creamy basil dip, black bean hummus, peanut butter dip and crock pot hummus.
Santa Strawberries from Tumblr- (use poppy seeds for eyes and easy DIY whipped cream)
