Depending on what type of Thanksgiving Party you are hosting, snacks can be elaborate or simple fare. If you are having your party catered, then you will have all sorts of fancy hors d'oeuvres to choose from. However, if you are planning on making all the food yourself, here are a few simple snacks to make your party preparations a little easier.
Vegetable Tray: Since most of us seem to be watching our waistlines these days, having a simple vegetable tray is a great addition to all the other high calorie items you might serve. Also, it is veggie friendly for your vegetarian and vegan friends who may attend. Use a large platter and fill it up with cut up carrots, celery, colored bell peppers (red, green, orange, yellow), cherry tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli and cauliflower. If you want to get a little fancier you can add mushrooms and pea pods.
Cheese Tray Ideas
If you want to add a dip there are plenty of great recipes around but my favorite is very simple to make. Mix together in a bowl; 2 cups of yogurt, 1 package of frozen chopped spinach that has been thawed, about 1/4 cup of minced onion and 1 package of Lipton Vegetable Soup Mix. Combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Fruit Tray: This is a great alternate to all the calorie laden desserts that are popular around Thanksgiving. As well your vegetarian friends will thank you. Simply slice up apples, pears, peaches, plums and oranges. For more of an exotic flavor add sliced papaya, kiwi and mango. If you don't want your apples to go brown, simply brush them with a little lemon juice.
If you want to get a little fancy with your fruit tray you call always serve a chocolate fondue along side. There are plenty of recipes on the internet or use your own.
Cheese and Meat Platter: Perhaps a little more expensive but certainly and old favorite. Besides popular cheese such as Gouda and cheddar try a mild blue cheese or creamy brie. You can also add various meats such as cold cuts, ham, beef and turkey. Add some pickles and olives along with your favorite crackers and you have a great snack.
Snacks: Don't forget the old stand-bys: chips, pretzels and peanuts. Have several bowls of these popular snacks on end tables for people to help themselves. They are also a favorite with kids.
To make your snacks look like you sent hours preparing them, put them on pretty plates or platters and decorate them with lettuce, parsley or flowers. Also remember to put out toothpicks and napkins or small plates for everyone to use.
