8 Goodies to Bring to Your Holiday Parties
Posted on Dec 08, 2016
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and Christmas’ arrival means snow flurries, gift giving, family, hot chocolate, and of course, holiday parties! With ugly Christmas sweater parties, ornament exchanges and family and friend gatherings galore, you may be asking yourself “what should I bring to all these festivities?” Cookies, cakes and pies are all delicious holiday fare, but what about mixing things up and bringing a healthy snack for all to enjoy?
Healthy may not be the first thing guests think of when they describe their favorite holiday goodies. Although, snacks, appetizers and desserts can be made to not only satisfy the tastebuds, but can also be good for you, too. Sorghum is an excellent ingredient to incorporate into your Christmas holiday party menu. Not only is sorghum easy to use in any recipe, it’s packed with protein, fiber, iron, vitamin B6 and much more. Plus, sorghum is naturally gluten free, so it is a perfect ingredient for guests with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.
