Cooked, chilled shrimp
Cocktail Sauce
Guacamole
Serve shrimp in small cordial glasses. Some with a dollop of guacamole, some with cocktail sauce. They do make sugar free cocktail sauces but I just use the real deal. I don't slather, a small dab per shrimp and I don't have issues but if you are highly sensitive look for SF versions they are out there or make your own. The alternating red & green on the table looked so festive. Perfect for a Christmas party!


Grilled Zucchini Slices
Feta or Mozzarella (whatever you like)
Slice the zucchini lengthwise, brush with olive oil. I sprinkled a little Greek seasoning on each slice (an Italian seasoning would be great too.) Grill the zucchini on the BBQ (or an indoor grill) till bendy and tender. Set aside to cool. Wrap each slice of zucchini around a piece of cheese. I get fresh Feta (unsalted) at my farmer's market, it's the best feta I have ever eaten in my life but fresh mozzarella would be great too. I skewered them with a food pick for ease of eating. I served them room temp but they would be great warm too with some marinara sauce for dipping. Yum!
Here's the finished tree...

Thanks for these ideas! I'm going to use one right now, lol! And the feta appetizer is so easy, I've got to try it.
Shelly, I made the snacks a few minutes ago and they were wonderful, simple and delicious. Your tree is lovely. We put up a "memories" tree as well. I would not have it any other way:) Be blessed...Monique
Hi there-
I'm a dietitian who works with bariatric patients- have been following your blog for sometime. LOVE the guac and cocktail sauces for the shrimp- so festive and healthy :) Will be stealing your idea- Merry Christmas!!
Your tree looks beautiful! I got a wonderful Christmas gift this year. Actually two. One is your blog and the other is my surgery date of Jan. 11th. I start my pre-op diet on the 28th and because of you and other blogger you know (like VSGMOM), I have all the info, vitamins and protein I need. God bless!
