Recipes and ideas for fabulous and easy food!

So, you are planning a baby shower for a friend or loved one and now you are wondering- what in the world should I serve? We are here to help you pick the perfect baby shower food to make your party a success.

We all want our guests to enjoy the food, but most people don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen at the same time. No problem, I hear you. I love good food, but if it is going to take hours in the kitchen, I would rather pay someone else to make it! That's why all the recipes below are simple to put together and taste delicious.

No matter what time of day you decide to have your baby shower, you should provide your guests with food and beverages. Most showers last a few hours, and let's face it, most people expect there to be food at a party. It doesn't have to be a five course meal, but at least put out some light finger foods, snacks and dessert.

Baby Shower Food Ideas and Tips

• Prep and make as much as you can the day before. This will save you a ton of time and make the day of the shower less stressful.

• Stick to your favorite recipes that you know will be a hit. The day of the party is not the time to try out a new exotic recipe. If you do want to try something new, do a trial run before hand. It may sound good in the recipe book, but not turn out the way you expect. Trying the recipe out in advance gives you time to adjust or tweak any ingredients if needed.

• Get a head count a week before the shower, so you will know how much food to make. When in doubt, make more than you will need. It is better to have too much than not enough.

• Check with the guest of honor to see what her favorite foods are. Make her shower extra special by serving food she loves. Also make sure she doesn't have any food allergies.

• Feeling overwhelmed about making all the food? Ask a few family members or friends that are attending the shower if they would like to bring a dish or help out.
