Graduation time is almost here and with graduations come graduation parties! Graduation parties can be a downfall for many of us, even when we’re the ones hosting. A few of my blogging buddies and I came together to give you a round-up of graduation party recipes that your crowd is sure to LOVE. These recipes are ALL Trim Healthy Mama approved and many are low-carb (The recipes labeled FP or S!). You’ll find dips, appetizers, fun desserts and more!
Dips and Spreads
Dips and spreads are one of the easiest ways to include a healthy option in your menu. You could even do a “dip bar” as your main attraction. You can pair these dips with non-starchy veggies, toasted Lavash bread, baked blue-corn tortilla chips, or even Wasa crackers.
