In the FALL edition of the Thrivent Magazine, there is a great article about spreading some holiday cheer with some tasty and budget friendly entertaining ideas!
Two Thrivent Financial members-Sara Schwartz,co-owner of Duck Crossing, a restaurant and catering company in Wautoma, Wisconsin; and Kathryn Clements, a registered Dietitian in Cannon Falls, Minnesota-have shared ideas to help you save money(and calories) without sacrificing taste, graciousness or style.
For example: Last year for appetizers you may have served a cheese and sausage platter and finger food like stuffed mushrooms. This year a more budget and healthy friendly choice would be a cheese spread molded into a ball and rolled in dried cranberries. Served with whole-wheat crackers and fresh veggies.
For healthier holiday recipes, Clements suggests visiting websites like EatingWell.com and CookingLight.com.
