Re: no carb appetizers
bacon wrapped scallops (no idea how to make this)
chicken bacon bites (cut chicken into small bite size pieces, wrap a little bacon around it - secure with a toothpick, back at 350 until cooked through).
buffalo wings
shrimp ring
prosciutto wrapped around fresh mozzarella with balsamic vinaigrette
deviled eggs

Re: no carb appetizers
you can also do deli meat and cheeses, but instead of bread to make a hero, just roll them up together, like a slice of meat and a slice of cheese and have them as little rolled finger foods, or you can do lettuce wraps.

Re: no carb appetizers
love the deli meat roll up idea! Love Turkey Roll ups!
I love veggies and dip--but remember the carbs in veggies can add up too! Not sure of the specifics of 17DD so I don't know if that's something you have to watch out for!
These are great too!

Re: no carb appetizers
Watch out for the store bought hummus, I thought it would be low card but when I read the label it said it had about 5 g in 2 tbsp. If you have a small amount it is fine, but just watch it.

Re: no carb appetizers
Not sure about carb content of pineapple, but I love pineapple wrapped in bacon. And so easy to make...just buy canned chunk pineapple, wrap in 1/2 slice of bacon, secure with toothpick and bake until bacon is cooked. Love the sweet & salty mix!

Re: no carb appetizers
stuffed mushrooms - just chop up the stems and stuff instead of using breadcrumbs. you can put crabmeat in them too!
