I'll try to help you guys out with some cool recipes, since I am on a diet, too!
Fat free flour tortillas
Matchstick carrots
Sliced bell peppers
99% fat free turkey breast
Fat free vegetable cream cheese
Shredded romain lettuce
Take a flour tortilla and spread with 1 tbsp of the fat free veggie cream cheese!. Put a few slices of turkey down, along with a thin layer of lettuce, peppers, and carrots!. Roll the tortilla into a wrap and cut into 3-4 pieces!. They can be some healthy turkey sandwhich pinwheels!.
Instead of "cake and ice cream" the traditional way you could do a naturally fat free angel food cake!. You can buy them at the grocery store!. Use fat free cool whip as "icing" and top with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc!. Serve with a choice of raspberry or strawberry sorbet!.
To make a punch, mix equal parts of cranberry juice and orange juice together and pour in some diet lemon lime soda to add a little carbonation!. You can float some of the sorbet on top, or cut up fruit and float it on top!.
These are things that people at the party wouldn't even have to know were healthy for them, and your daughter wouldn't feel strange asking people at her party to eat her diet food because it just seems like regular food!.
Hope any of these are helpful!Www@FoodAQ@Com
