Thanksgiving munchies/appetizers??
So summary: My family lives close to each other but tends to do more of a pot luck for holidays…every one brings something and we eat. My husbands family his mom cooks which is great but I know from past experience that what begins as a lunchtime thanksgiving will turn into a dinner time thanksgiving.
Add along with that the inability to go out and eat lunch (because his family would consider it rude) I have found it good practice for me and every one else to eat a good breakfast and to take along some kind of appetizer or something to munch on while the wonderful aromas of food fill the air for hours lol.
I’m taking a watergate salad and chocolate pie…for the main meal…but I need appetizer/munchy ideas. This year to his mom has had heart surgery…so it needs to be low fat, low cholesterol, low sodium. It’s a 2 1/2 hour drive there…so something no refrigerated, or cold that I can put in an thermos/insulated bag, or reheat in the microwave.
Help 
What great planning! I applaud you for thinking ahead and being considerate to everyone’s feelings! Here are some ideas:
1. Cheese and crackers. You can find some lower fat and lower salt varieties for those inclined, but keep some of the tastier ones available for others.
2. Fresh fruit tray with a lowfat yogurt dip. Place the “dip” on ice for the trip and it will stay cool enough to serve when you get there.
3. Butter lettuce leaves filled with shrimp salad. Bring canned salad shrimp and make when you get there (mix with a little no-fat mayo, chopped chive, chopped dill pickle etc.)
4. Mini rice cakes spread with peanut butter and topped with strawberry jam.
5. Soup: a tradition at many thanksgiving tables, make up a pumpkin (or other) soup and transport it in thermos jugs.
6. Sliced cucumbers topped with smoked salmon and fat free sour cream with a dill sprig on top.
Good luck!
