I need to some yummy finger food ideas and other foods that would be good to serve at a baby shower.
Thanks!
It depends on what the theme is! And what time the party takes place (breakfast food in the mornings, tea time, etc) In general my favorite baby shower foods are:
Scones ( http://www.joyofbaking.com/scones.html ) with Devonshire Cream ( http://www.recipezaar.com/Devonshire-Cream-for-Scones-230378?scaleto=4&sys=e ) and I usually get some berries to go with it-strawberries, raspberries, blackberries etc.
My favorite dessert is cheesecake-white chocolate raspberry is the best kind as far as I’m concerned ( http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/White-Chocolate-Raspberry-Cheesecake/Detail.aspx ).
Turkey and cranberry finger sandwiches ( http://home.att.net/~dfaglon/tearecipe.html#smoked4 ) are good for something a little more savory.
Pasta salad (any kind is AWESOME!) and a regular salad (my favorite is spinach and feta with apple chunks and walnuts topped with raspberry vinaigrette).
A light soup (Italian Wedding Soup, Squash, Egg Drop, Vegetable, etc)
I also like to have at least one baby themed food (could be a cake with special decoration, or baby bootie shaped cookies-something like that)
Have fun-baby showers are great!

I would just do like veggies and dip, and maybe a deli tray and crissants. That way people could kinda make their own sandwiches. Just put out some condiments and what have you and your good. It is simple and cuts down on alot of prep and cleaning.

deli sandwiches and chips are soo good at baby showers but its not good for pregnant women to eat deli meat because they can get food borne illnesses and food poisoning easier…which is why i was mad when i had my shower cuz thats what i wanted but i ended up having something else good. i had fried chicken from walmart(a 50piece was only $35) and pasta salad(the kind that has italian dressing and we like to put just cucumbers and cheese blocks, got a big bag of noodles from sams and the cheese too) but make sure you get a lot of food cuz we thought 50 would be good and some people ended up not eating (good thing they showed up after we served!)
