I really hope that I (or anyone else for that matter) came across as "preachy" because we all really do care. I think you just need to do what works best for you. And, it's just really important to me that you know that regardless of what decision you make, we aren't going to judge you. It's all about the individual, you know? And, I can't wait to hear how that party was on Monday!!!
Here are a couple of ideas for the party.... They are from previous posts.

veggie dip
I blend up a 24oz container of C.C. in the blender with a packet of any powdered dip or dressing packet (hidden valley ranch, onion soup mix or this week I made a garlic herb packet). I use it for dip for veggies. Another idea is to put some seasoning into the C.C. Makes a different flavor. I use any number of Mrs. Dash combinations for this.
Green French Fries – suggested by Nan11
1 bag frozen green string beans
Favorite seasoning (garlic, Mrs. Dash, Lemon Pepper)
Pre-heat oven to 375
Spray Pam on cookie sheet
Place however many green beans you want on the sheet
Sprinkle with Seasoning
Bake in over for 30-45 minutes (you want the frozen beans to go from frozen to wilty to crispy, so keep an eye on them after about 20 minutes)
When they begin to look 'crispy', turn on your broiler and broil until they begin to look like they are curling (like french fries)
Remove and eat.
