Party Survival Tip #3: Eat Before the Party

At the end of a party, you remember the experiences you have with your friends and family, the most.  The food is one of the vehicles that transports that experience.  But if you have food allergies/sensitivities, it doesn't have to be about the food.

#3.    Eat before the party Tell people you already ate. This may sound like a cop out, but it is believable on days like Christmas or New Year's when people go from party to party.  Bring something like an allergen-friendly nutrition bar, nuts (if you can have them), or another protein-packed snack to help keep you and your blood sugar even keeled.
