Plan for Food Allergies when hosting Holiday Parties

Hosting a holiday party can be stressful, but here is a little tip to help ease the stress around what you plan to serve to guests.  Health Coach Ellen Hotz says use place cards around the table to inform guests about what each dish contains.  “I put little signs, so that people actually know and people appreciate that.  If you are having a large gathering or people that you don’t know and you don’t know what they eat and they don’t know what you cook, you can just make a little tiny place card.  Just fold a piece of paper in two and write down on it what it is or just put gluetin free or dairy free or nut free, so that people know that they are safe to try it.” For more tips on healthy eating around the holidays visit Health Coach Ellen Hotz’s website at www.ellenhotz.com.
