Baby Shower Appetizers

At a baby shower appetizers are often the food of choice. They are easy for both the hostess and the guests. The hostess will find them effortless to put together and display attractively, and the guests have a variety of choices.

For the creative hostess, a plate of crudités or raw veggies may be just a little too easy and unimaginative. Instead, a mashed potato bar may be just the thing to really impress the guests and generate a lot of interest. Serve mashed potatoes in plastic banana-split boats and have a wide variety of toppings the guests can use; things like sour cream, grated cheese, crumbled bacon, chives, green onions, crushed dried tomatoes, olives and melted butter.

Of course, the potato bar is a bit more extensive than just a selection of baby shower appetizers, but it does provide a variety of taste and texture. However, one doesn’t have to go to a lot of trouble as there are a lot of different finger foods, many available at your local supermarket’s deli or produce section. There is even a wide array of fancy appetizers in your grocer’s freezer area that are simply heat and serve-type delicacies.

Easy appetizers from the supermarket deli and produce departments:

• Build-your-own-sandwich meat and cheese trays
• Fruit trays
• Cheese trays
• Olive and pickle bowls
• Raw vegetable & dip trays
• Fresh melon trays

Delicious and easy appetizers from your grocer’s freezer:

• Jalapeno poppers
• Hot artichoke spinach dip
• Deep fried popcorn shrimp
• Chicken fingers
• Battered & deep fried cheese sticks
• Meatballs
• Pizza rolls
• Buffalo wings
• Taquitos
• Petite quiches
• Mini crab cakes
• Bacon-wrapped scallops
• Egg rolls

For dessert, to stay with the finger food style of serving, set out those little bite-sized ice cream poppers, the mini éclairs or custard-filled pastry puffs, again all available from the freezer section.

As you can see the easiest type of party foods are baby shower appetizers. So for the busy hostess who has more tasks than time, there’s no need to panic over the thought of how to get everything done before the first guests arrive. A single trip to the local supermarket will provide such a wide variety of finger foods, that all you’ll have to do is place them on your own serving platters and dishes. Your guests will be impressed at your culinary prowess and enjoy every bite.

With all that figured out you can relax and decide which baby shower invitations will be perfect for the baby shower you are hosting.
