Baby Shower Food
I'm co-hosting a baby shower in a few weeks for a friend. It's at 2 pm at the other host's house, for about 15 or so guests. We'd like to do some small, EASY food items to be served before we do cake. All I have on my list is a veggie and cheese platter. What are some of your favorites, that require little-to-no work? Extra points for inexpensive, pre-made items from Wegmans/Trader Joes/etc!
Re: Baby Shower Food
trader joe's had a brie fondue that you bake for like 20 minutes, it was soooo good!
i know whole foods sells most of the cava dips (crazy feta, etc...) i bet those would be a hit with a veggie tray and some pita/pita chips.
Pasta salads/chicken salad/etc. I love the roll-up sandwiches from Wegmans, you have to call ahead to have them made, but they're delicious.
You could do a fruit platter too.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
YESSSSS. I don't care who you are, you love meatballs in bbq. Assuming you're not a vegetarian, obvs.,
Other ideas: crack dip, taco/7 layer dip, crab dip. Mini quiche from Costco. Baked brie. Sandwich wraps cut in to roll-up segments. Pizza/flatbread cut in to pieces.
A friend made these for book club and they were a huge hit (because who doesn't like bacon)

Be sure to ask your friend if she has any dietary restrictions. Many pregnant women will not eat lunch meats and many cheeses (the non-pasteurized ones).
Thanks Ladies!
Sofka--we work together, so I'm aware of her dietary restrictions. She's a vegetarian, but so many of the options posted fall into that category, or can be adapted, which is fantastic. Plus, I was pregnant not THAT long ago, so I do remember the Do's and Don'ts. :-)
