Fourth of July Fare?
Ok...so it's my weekend and holiday to work...which means I am working Fri, Sat, and Sunday night.
Of course, us night shift people can't let a holiday go by without having a party of some sort! So, Saturday night we are having a fourth of july "party" (fireworks to be provided by our clientelle, no doubt!)
Any suggestions on favorite dishes, patriotic themed food etc? I have a few ideas but figured I'd come here for more! They do NOT have to be WLS friendly...and/or I can adapt them if I needed to.....

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Pam,
What about deviled eggs? They are high in protein. I usually make it with light mayo and spicy mustard....

Ahhh Jello shooters! LOL
I am working 12 on Saturday at the hospital. I am taking crock pot mac & cheese. I won't eat any. But one nurse was saying how she is going to miss baked mac & cheese at her family's gathering and I told her I could do a crock pot version and she asked if I would.
I like the deviled eggs idea because I could hammer those down all day and not feel guilty!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Thanks guys! All GREAT ideas!
I've been asked by people at work to bring in something "baked" so I'm doing a pound cake and a sour cream coffee cake. Also bringing in fresh whipped cream and then some (splenda) sweetened berries. The sour cream coffee cake with be made w/ greek yogurt instead of sour cream....and the pound cake will be made semi wls friendly (no sugar...the fat content...well...) so I can have a small piece.
Others are taking care of protein laden stuff, so it'll be good!
