subject: Healthy Snacks: The Perfect Component To The Big Day [print this page] Its a week before my best friends wedding and everything has turned into a hectic blur. In the midst of trying to put the finishing touches on the plans for her bachelorette party, I am also trying to think of some healthy snack ideas to have around for the day of the wedding. While the aim is to provide snacks that are both healthy and energizing, they should also be simple but appear elegant.
Choosing the perfect healthy snack and appetizers for the day of the wedding forced me to be creative. I wanted to choose a healthy appetizer the groom would enjoy but allow him to feel energized long after he said I Do. The bride would need to feel fabulous even after she devoured the simple, healthy snacks. My choice would be a combination of items and ideas strewn together.
The first place I visited was the website for John Wm. Macys CheeseSticks. Their gourmet snacks use the perfect cheese recipes combined with twice baked sour dough bread to create a snack that leaves you wanting more. Since these healthy snacks also use all natural ingredients, the connoisseur can not only enjoy the deliciousness of the snack, but also fully appreciate the value. They were the perfect solution to my healthy snack and appetizer crisis for the day of the wedding!
Throughout the day, I wanted different people to be delivering healthy appetizers and snacks to the bridal party. First, I thought we should start with something simple to accompany the John Wm. Macys CheeseSticks. I decided to make a simple tray of different fruits, vegetables and a dip. All of the food would be cut into bite sizes, so people will not feel stuffed but have enough nourishment to help them look their best for the big day.
While the healthy appetizers contained a variety of items, I wanted the snacks to be simple and more precise, without having to resort to store bought chips. I decided to create some chips of my own using different types of potatoes and leafy greens. I thought it would be perfect to add some seasonal herbs and chives to the chips to give them a different color and texture. Another healthy snack option would be to pare a healthy fish with the Romano Garlic CheeseSticks.
On the day of the wedding, I decide it was the perfect idea to have healthy snacks available while we are getting ready. My best friend deserves the perfect day and the healthy appetizers help deter the Bridezilla in us all.
