How to a throw a healthy summer party

 

Hi and happy Feel-Good Monday!


This is where we share our favorite tips, tricks, secrets, and ways to "think like a healthy person" so that you can find your own delicious path to healthy living.

"Feel-Good Mondays" are meant to help us get back into that place of feeling energized, nourished, and ready to take inspired action for the week ahead.  


It's officially summer party season!

This is a beautiful, delicious gluten-free cake that a friend of mine made one 4th of July.
 

I'll be taking this week to celebrate summer (and the 4th) in the Berkshires with family. There will be lots of lazy days spent driving around bucolic country roads, visiting farmers markets, chilling on back porches, and – of course – barbecuing!
 

Here are some of my favorite snacks to serve at a backyard get-together (most of these can be store-bought, or assembled with very little prep time. Which is how I like to roll.):

Homemade guacamole with organic tortilla chips or veggie crudité.
Olives and pickled veggies
Hummus with veggies or healthy crackers (I like Simple Mills or Mary's Gone Crackers)
Dry-roasted nuts with sea salt
Smoked fish on cucumber rounds


And here’s a roundup of my favorite party food recipes, from side dishes to mains:
