    Finger Food Suggestions:

    • “smart dogs” in a blanket
    • celery sticks filled with almond butter, topped with raisins
    • guacamole with dipping pita triangles

    • crackers or bread squares with any kind of tofu dip, hummus,

    Many of the above suggestions can be mixed and matched. Remember, toothpicks make many foods into “finger foods”. Crackers, chips, veggies, pita wedges and more make great vehicles as well.

    Be creative. Just keep to the guidelines below so everybody can enjoy ALL the food!!!

  • Serving utensils for your plate

  • Your own reusable plate, bowl, cup and utensils to eat with (to cut down on waste!)

  • An index card with the ingredients used or recipe for your dish, with your name address and phone # on the back. (Maybe you'll make it into our upcoming recipe book!)

*Please no eggs, dairy, honey, meat, poultry, seafood or any foods containing additives, coloring, hydrogenated oils, white sugar or “natural flavors.”
(A simple rule: If you don't know what an ingredient is, don't use it!)

Note: Most soy cheeses contain casein, a dairy derivative used to make glue.
Please, no casein.

These exacting food guidelines enable the greatest number of people to choose from the greatest number of selections that are brought.
