FOOD IDEAS FOR A BABY SHOWER
Baby Showers are a wonderful time to get together with family and friends. It is a time to celebrate an event that is one of the most important memories in a parent's life. We love to give our support and encouragement by helping the parents obtain the many needed baby items. One of the ways to help, is by giving the mother a baby shower. Below are some fun and easy recipes you can serve your guests as you help the new mother get a great start and build lasting memories she will cherish a lifetime.
CHICKEN SANDWICH-Chicken sandwiches on a dinner roll is an excellent choice for a baby shower. It is easy to make and is filling for the guests. You can either use canned chicken or chicken that you have cooked and cut into small portions. Add mayonnaise, cashews, celery and grapes. (Slice cashews, celery and grapes in small pieces)
CHOCOLATE-White and dark chocolate can be used at a shower in a variety of ways. Your guests will love this. Aaron's Online Boutique has included an article on some wonderful chocolate recipes. One idea for a baby shower, would be to make up a recipe of Rice Krispie Treats. Follow the directions on the Rice Krispie Box. After the Rice Krispie Treats have set, cut them in
squares and then dip the tops in melted chocolate. You can purchase melting chocolate at the grocery store. Ghirardelli chocolate is excellent. Follow the instructions on the bar. You can top the chocolate with colored candy sprinkles in various colors and or plastic baby decorations. This is an easy and fun desert.
FROSTED SUGAR COOKIES-Cut out sugar cookies in diverse baby item shapes. You can purchase unique cookie cutters at speciality stores and some grocery stores. Feet, teddy bear, etc., can be found if you look. Frost them in the color scheme of your baby shower. Aaron's Online Boutique has listed a great sugar cookie and frosting recipe.
FINGER SANDWICHES-This can be elegant and fun. Order colored bread from a bakery. Again, try to get the colors the same as your shower color scheme. Cut off the crusts and cut them in fourths (triangular shape) after filling the sandwich with a delicious filling. Some good filling ideas could include; cream cheese with pimento/olive or different flavors of cream cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon pieces with cream cheese, tuna with finely chopped celery and slivered almonds, etc. You can be creative with this.
CHIPS/DIP- 7 layer dip with tortilla chips is usually a favorite at baby showers. It is fast and easy to make, plus serves a large crowd. Aaron's Online Boutique has included the recipe on our web site.
Vegetables eaten with Ranch, onion, bacon or other dips make a healthy snack for your guests. You can offer cucumbers, celery, carrots, brocolli, cauliflower, etc. For a good contrast with the vegetables you could offer 7 grain crackers, Triscuits, Wheat Thins, or something similar.
No matter what is served at the baby shower, your guests will enjoy the time they spend celebrating the birth of a new baby. When all is said and done, the memories of those who attended will be what is most important of all.
