Good Morning All,

One of my friends coming for Friendsgiving tomorrow abides by paleo, and I just need some input since I’m going shopping today after Black Friday maddness.

  1. I am ordering a separate meal for her from a place she regulars, and I’m making a paleo recipe for banana bread for her as well. So I’m looking for either boxed snacks (if there are any) or easy snacks I can make for her to nosh on before dinner.

  2. I have a veggie platter with tomato, carrots, celery, and broccoli, but I’m positive the provided ranch dip is not paleo, so a dip suggestion or easy recipe would be helpful.

  3. I’m doing a charcuterie board and looking for a good goat cheese recommendation and a cracker recommendation.

  4. For drinks, I have a Polar seltzer variety pack, and I was going to take a crack at making a paleo lemonade. Is there anything else I’m missing that would be a tasty treat drink wise? A mocktail anyone even can recommend?

  5. Is there anything else I’m not thinking of?

Thank you in advance for any insight!! Also, please feel free to provide constructive criticism of any of my pre-made plans!!

    It would depend on the friend, though it sounds like you know them well. Personally, I couldn’t have anything with flavour like those seltzers, I couldn’t eat any processed meats, definitely no cheese…

    Boxed snacks depend on where you live. For crackers, there are a few options, but I enjoy Mary’s Super Seed crackers most.

    An appetizer I always like to make is this Smoked Salmon Cucumber Bites with Cashew Cream Cheese.

    Nice to hear a friend putting in so much work. I could never eat anywhere or trust anyone so I bring my own food everywhere.
