Skip: Dinner Rolls
Pick: Veggies and Dip
Guests (and cooks!) will often turn a basket of dinner rolls into an unintentional appetizer as they wait for the main meal. Forget the rolls altogether and lay out a tray of low-calorie, high-nutrient veggies—think celery, carrots, peppers, and broccoli—with a light dip. The fiber in the veggies will help fill you up so you'll make better decisions when the main meal finally rolls around, whereas the rolls will actually spike, then drop your blood sugar, likely leading to overeating and more refined carbs on your plate.
