ISO Ideas for Baby Shower Food

**foxxyroxie** · 08-10-2010, 05:25 PM

Good Day Ladies (and Gents)...

The ladies' group at church is holding a baby shower this Sunday for a couple who just had their first baby.

I'm kind of stumped at what to bring for food. We're ordering a cake so that's taken care of. It's a finger foods/snacks menu. Most bring veggies, nuts, chips/dip, cookies, candy/fudge, etc. I'm looking for something unique and/or different. It has to be something I can make the night before or in the morning before church and be able to keep well until the afternoon and be able to transport from home to the church. I will have about an hour prep time before the shower, but will need to be able to do that prep work in the church kitchen. Was thinking about a fruit pizza or veggie pizza.

Anyone have any ideas? Please include the recipe (or where I can find a recipe).

Thanks bunches !!

What about a roll-up? Rollups Recipes | Taste of Home Here's a whole list of them.

One of my go-to appetizers is Hot Crab Pinwheels Recipe | Taste of Home Recipes

Some are served cold. The ones that require baking could be made the night before and cooked in the church oven.

Deviled eggs are sure to be a hit. I also think fruit is a good idea, not in a "pizza" as those usually have added sugar and carbs/calories in the crust. Just a simple fruit salad or large chunks people can grab.

Variety of dips:
fruit dip
warm cheese/queso dip
nacho dip/mexican 7 layer dip
crab dip

CRAB CUP

1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped onions
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped celery
8 oz. package cream cheese
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 package imitation crabmeat
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Mix all ingredients together and serve as desired.

Egg/Chicken/Tuna salad finger sammies - cut sandwhiches into 4 trianges or serve on mini rolls or turn it into a pasta salad.

What about making pink lemonade?

This is really easy and I'm sure it has a name I just don't know what it is.

Take a cherry tomato, a piece of basil and a piece of motzarella and put in on a frilled pick. Then take some kind of salad dressing, (italian, balsamic, some kind of viniagrette) and put on the plate before you add the tomato/basil/motzarella thing.

You can use nice motzarella balls from Costco, or you can just cut up some string cheese in sizes equal to the cherry tomato.

Easy! And you can do them the night before and just take along in a plastic container and plate them at the shower.

BLT on a stick:
similar to what saver said: take a grape tomato, wrap it a couple of times with a strip of lettuce and then with about 1/3 slice of bacon that hasn't been fried til crisp. Put it on a frilled toothpick and have a dish of ranch dressing close by. & as saver said, you can do these the night before & take in a plastic container & transfer to a tray at the shower.
