Healthy Party Snacks

I always thought life in the USA was “fun”, and the longer I have been here, the more I am exposed to all the celebrations and parties that are thrown simply to enjoy life!

I have never been into celebrity culture, however I am slowly but surely attempting to appreciate the social side of it, and since this weekend I have the pleasure of attending my first oscars party, I thought I aught to write a quick post with some festive snack ideas to help those that are playing host, or wanting to keep their waistline and health in check, whilst still attending these events!

I’ve scanned the internet and used a couple of my own images to hopefully inspire some healthy oscar party snacks..enjoy!
