My parents are coming to me in the morning for a change and I need to provide some snacks. I have no time to bake, and can only go out and buy some stuff today! Also my dad is diabetic. Any ideas of some nice things I could lay out for them? Thanks!
Cut up cucumber, celery, peppers (good for your Dad) etc.. and buy some dips. You could buy some olives, pickles, lots of different cheeses and a selection of crackers and most supermarkets do party packs, we got most of ours from ASDA at �1 a box! These will be a welcome relief come Tea time on Christmas day and Boxing day when all I have to do is throw them in the oven :o)
Too late for this occasion, but I was also going to suggest lots of crudities, i.e. strips of celery, cucumber, fresh carrot, red peppers, small raw cauliflower florets and cherry tomatoes with some dips. With all the starchy carbohydrate stuff we eat over Christmas, it's sometimes nice to have something fresh and crunchy for a change.
