What to serve at your Holiday Party?

by Lauren on December 28, 2010

I’m a little late in posting my holiday posts…but it’s still technically the holidays…right?

I had my friends over the other night for a little get together for the holidays. Nothing big or extraordinary, just my two best friends, good food, and good fun.


I decided to make us lettuce wraps since they were healthy and really fun to make and eat. The lettuce wraps turned out phenomenal, and I’m definitely going to be making these again.

Please take a look…

So here’s the breakdown in case you want to serve these at your next party…

Ingredients:






Once all the prep work is done, the rest is up to your guests. Now it’s time for the party!

My friend Kelly brought her famous green bean salad, which I must get the recipe for. Maybe she’ll let me share it. ;-)

I made the girls skinny margaritas with clear tequila, fresh lime juice, Cointreau, and a splash of club soda. Unbelievably refreshing and delicious.



I set the table with a few special touches like putting salsa in a martini glass. It just classes things up a bit.


The lettuce wraps turned out fantastic, and we had a lot of fun just sitting around chatting and eating with our hands. The meal is light and lets you leave feeling perfectly satisfied instead of weighed down and full.
