Ideal finger foods are easy to prepare, as well as light on the stomach. They also provide the perfect opportunity for hosts to get creative with the many different kinds of appetizers available for this memorable party.
It never hurts to pair classic finger foods with a few unique tasty treats. Cucumber sandwiches filled with cream cheese, deviled eggs with a hint of Dijon mustard, grilled shrimp, hearty potato skins, a mix of toasted almonds and honey-roasted peanuts, quesadillas, chicken wings, and stuffed mushrooms are just some of the popular finger foods to consider for a baby shower.
If children are attending the baby shower, you should also keep their tummies in mind. Homemade caramel corn, cheese and crackers, mini-bagel pizzas, or sliced apples with a fruity yogurt dip are typical crowd pleasers. Boneless, skinless chicken breast pieces covered in crushed cornflakes and baked in the oven can make the perfect low-fat chicken nuggets.
Fresh fruit is an uncomplicated food item to explore when creating a menu for a baby shower. Fruit salad is one of the easiest dishes to prepare. To spice up the visual presentation, you may attach slices of pineapple, bright red strawberries, and grapes to skewers and serve on a decorative platter.
Where there is fruit, vegetables are sure to follow. Another easy approach to satisfying the guests of a baby shower is to create appetizers centered on this healthy food choice. Consider using baby carrots, fresh broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and celery sticks to create a colorful vegetable tray - accompanied with your favorite ranch dressing. Making one or two creative dips can also break the repetitiveness of the overdone sour cream and onion dip.
Chips and dip is another easy menu item for a baby shower that doesn't take much time to prepare. Instead of serving the usual tortilla chips and salsa - consider the possibilities of an effortless spinach dip, guacamole, onion dip, rye bread dip, or artichoke dip. Cut pita bread into small triangles and you'll have yourself an impressive presentation.
