Along with the new year often comes new year’s resolutions. The most common resolution is to lose weight, exercise more and eat healthy. So, when you are planning your next event (or attending one) here are some ideas on how to provide a menu that everyone can enjoy!

1. Choose a main dish like grilled chicken or fish rather than something fried or in a heavy cream sauce. (Menu Maker recommends our fresh salmon entrees or our chicken breast marinaded in house seasoning) Tons of flavor and less calories!
2. Offer a large salad with lots of vegetable (and Menu Maker is happy to provide low-fat dressing options).
3. Grilled vegetable display – not only beautiful and full of color, but loaded with flavor and healthy! (Menu Maker can use heart healthy olive oil)
4. A fruit tray or fruit skewers with a yogurt mint dipping sauce gives guests the option of something sweet, but won’t break anyones diet!
5. Offer an assortment of beverages to your guest including an unsweetened tea or water with lemon in addition to punch and alcoholic beverages.

We at Menu Maker encourage our clients to create a menu that is just right for their taste and event. We can create any dish your desire and can change any ingredients to make it low fat, gluten free or vegetarian. Just ask!

We look forward to creating the perfect event for you in the new year – Cheers!
