Baby Shower? Baby Food!

Posted: Aug 13, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

If you're trying to avoid the wave of potluck casserols from taking over your fridge after your baby shower, consider a unique and tastey twist to your baby shower's menu! Avoid over spending and too many left overs by serving "baby food". Of course you don't want to go out and buy as many as it would take to feed your party, so make your own. Who knows, it just might come in handy once baby arrives!
Easy and traditional baby shower food can be put into glass baby food jars to delight your guests. A Better Homes and Gardens Warm Chocolate Bread Pudding recipe found on Kitchen Daily is a rich and delicious treat made with sourdough bread cubes, miniatures semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk, egg, sugar, and vanilla. Your guests will savor this deletable pudding as well as get a kick out of eating from a baby food jar!
Another pudding idea for your baby shower food, Banana Pudding from The Joy of Baking combines deliciously creamy vanilla pudding with banana slices and vanilla cookies. This pudding will look great in clear baby food jars if you serve it as a trifle. Simply place crushed vanilla wafers in the bottom of the jars, spoon a layer of vanilla pudding over the cookies, top the pudding with slices of firm yet ripe bananas, and repeat until you fill the jar. Top with whipped cream and a vanilla wafer, and that's it. You can make this even easier by using instant vanilla pudding if you wish instead of the pudding recipe. 
Mini muffin tins can also be a way to serve food with the appearance of baby food at your baby shower. Food like tartlets, muffins, and cheesecakes can easily be baked in mini muffin tins for tiny treats. Creative Baby Shower Ideas has great recipes for desserts like Pecan Tartlets and Blueberry Cheesecake that would be easy to bake in a mini muffin tin. Dainty desserts such as these will look just like baby food, especially if you serve them alongside a pudding in a baby food jar.
If you want to serve a full meal at your baby shower, food of any sort can be presented as baby food, especially if you use actual homemade baby food recipes. Wholesome Baby Food is a valuable online resource for yummy recipes for baby food than even adults will enjoy eating. Menu ideas include serving grilled cheese sandwiches cut up in bite sizes, mini meatballs with ground beef or turkey, and broccoli and cheddar cheese nuggets. If you are having a brunch baby shower, why not serve baby omelets with eggs, milk, cheese, and finely chopped vegetables? If you'd like to serve a main dish in clear baby food jars, try Fish Curry with Coconut Milk, a tasty curry that is easy to serve in this fashion.
