Finger Foods are great at parties and family get-togethers. They are a wonderful alternative to a filling meal at important functions of just about any type. Easy to prepare and even easier to eat, make some healthy finger foods for yourself and see how versatile they can be.
Finger foods make great snacks on the go. Take cheese, for instance. It provides calcium and protein which we need each day. At about ten in the morning, it’s not quite time for lunch, but it is a good time for cheese snack. Cut a slice off of a block and enjoy.
Buying a block of cheese is more economical than a bag of cheese sticks if you plan on using it as a snack quite often. Saving money is just one more reason to turn to cheese as a healthy snack.
If you buy a large block at Costco, make sure you freeze it into individuall portions. It can go moldy very quickly if not kept in optimum conditions in your fridge. Also keep in mind that one ounce of cheese is the equivalent of two dice, if you are watching your weight.
When it comes to finger foods, think about how you can recreate some of your own favorites at home. There are two benefits to making your own finger foods.
One, you save money. Two, your ingredients are fresher.
If you’ve eaten a lot of processed food, it might take a bit of getting used to when it comes to eating fresh fare. There is the time factor in getting them prepared, but it is well worth it because the taste is like no other.
Everything has a sweeter taste when they are fresh, and you can also avoid the issue of whether or not foods which come in plastic wrap are bad for you because the chemical leach into your food.
