Parties and potlucks aren’t exactly a bastion of healthy food.
It’s not like people usually walk away from a buffet table groaning, “Oh, I feel so nourished and alive!”
Rather, one is often over-stuffed and groaning to be sure, that heavy feeling in the gut resulting both from the quantity and quality of the food in question.
I always attempt to bring something healthy to keep with our family’s real food ideals (and something I know my kids will eat!), but if a party-goer has to choose between a pile of lovely spinach and those little wieners wrapped in crescent rolls with a spicy, MSG-laden dipping sauce, guess which platter goes home empty?
Party food success is a union of great taste and a pleasing appearance, and when you’re in the minority trying to avoid processed food, you have to speak the language of the majority.
The food has to be recognizable, first and foremost!
Speak the language of the majority: Party food success = great taste + pleasing appearance.
That’s why I bring a lot of dips to a potluck or volunteer to bring a salad to our family’s holiday parties – people know what they’re seeing and are more likely to try it.
I created this party food cookbook so you can reclaim real food at potlucks, and wave goodbye to junk!

Thanks! This was just in time for me – I was wondering what to bring to a appetizer meal Christmas Eve family get together and was hoping to bring a few things that were better options. I ended up bringing your Avocado dip and it was great!
A vegetable tray is my ‘go to’ to take to gatherings. There are veg choices and options for healthy dips to keep it fresh. This was I know there is always good and filling food available.
Thank you!
