Baby Shower Menu & Recipes
Hosting a baby shower is a wonderful honor and serving delicious and creative food is an important part of creating a memorable gathering. Unless you are hosting an intimate gathering where a sit-down meal would be ideal, you might consider offering a buffet-style meal, with a variety of dishes for you guests to choose from. Setting your foods around the room to encourage guests to mingle.
Late morning is a great time to host a baby shower. It is well before the mama-to-be needs her afternoon nap and brunch is such a versatile meal.
A delectable variety of brunch recipes can be prepared ahead of time. We suggest serving a frittata, which is easy to assemble and serves a large crowd. They can be cooked ahead of time and served warm or at room temperature. Following are two very different frittata recipes that can easily be adapted to meet your needs and tastes. Feel free to substitute your favorite sautéed vegetables and cheese and add crumbled sausage, bacon or smoked salmon for an extra special dish.
In addition to these egg dishes, we suggest serving a savory bread, such as biscuits or croissants, with jam. A gourmet fruit salad, sweet bread or muffins, fruity "Party Punch," tea and coffee complete this mouth-watering meal.
If you have an afternoon baby shower planned, try a lunch menu that focuses on ease and a variety of flavors, colors and textures for a visually and tastefully appealing meal. Entice your guests with the following recipes, which can all be assembled ahead of time.
Start with Donna's Amazing Artichoke Dip on sliced fresh baguette accompanied by fresh vegetables from the Red, White and Orange Crudités Platter and the decadent Pesto and Feta Pinwheels. Follow these scrumptious appetizers with the colorful Parmesan, Tomato and Corn Pie or the Pasta Salad With Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Olives. The fun and easy Baby Shower Toasts compliment the vegetable pie and pasta dishes.
A variety of cheese and crackers, as well as bottled sparkling water and juices, would also make a nice addition to the menu. For an extra-special touch, order personalized baby shower cookies for dessert.
