Church Party Foods Paleo Style 12-2-12

Church Party Foods Paleo Style

   Tonight was the Adult Sunday School Party at my church, Keystone Church. I took traditional sausage balls (NOT Paleo), and crab-shrimp dip made Paleo style with finely shredded cabbage, shrimp, crab meat, and seasoning. I was afraid I wouldn't have anything to eat except my dip, but I was pleasantly surprised. I filled my plate and only had a little non-Paleo food.

    Vegetables featured cherry tomatoes and broccoli.

     Fruit included apple slices and grapes.

     Guacamole was super, just avocado, onion and tomato, and not spicy. Another dip did not seem to have any dairy (cream cheese or sour cream), but had lots of spice, herbs and flavor. The only dip I didn't like was my crab-shrimp dip, but I ate some anyway!

     Coconut macaroons are generally Paleo-friendly, but these were very sweet. I ate two. I also ate a small piece of peppermint bark which was smooth and delicious. I wanted to try some of the other dozen desserts, but I managed to eat nicely. Hooray for desserts!

     The best way to diet at a party is to take your own food, but I took a chance and it worked out beautifully. Thank you to all the great cooks.
