I usually bring some kind of appetizer which I buy frozen from the grocery store or specialty store and then either heat it up at the party or pre-cook it and warm it up at the party. Our favorite is swedish meatballs. We bring some toothpicks and both children and adults love them. I don't know how health conscious it is but our friends are not all that worried about those kinds of things.
It's hard to be social without food. When we get together with family, it's always centered around a meal. Our supper club is entirely about eating... :P Which, otherwise means it wouldn't be a supper club. As much as I hate getting off track, I don't want to be a prisoner to my diet either. I do my best to just plan for it and enjoy myself.
At my shower my friend made poured pureed (sp?) raspberries over cream cheese and set out some ritz crackers. It was awesome! Not to mention I think she used frozen raspberries so it was probably really cheap.

How about your baked zucchini that you posted below?
For the large group, how about a salad? You could do a large spinach salad or a ceasar salad.
For the smaller group, how about banana bread? I have a great healthy recipe if you want it.

I want to bring something healthy, easy, and cheap.
We just had a potluck party this weekend with a ton of kids. The kids tore up the veggie platter! I had to fight for a carrot, it was crazy.

I use basic recipes for the breads/muffins.
