    Baby shower food ideas

    So I'm doing my own baby shower this weekend. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I'm stuck!
    Here's what I'm doing so far:
    Chicken tikka balls
    Jappati bread
    Quiche
    Vine leaves
    Guacamole
    Swiss cheese
    Antipasto platter
    Crackers
    Fruit punch
    Muffins
    Black forest Cake
    Fairy bread
    Fruit platter

    There are around 35 people coming so I need to make sure there is enough foody bits.
    Any ideas would be wonderful. I'm trying to stay away from the cheerios, mini pies and sausage rolls menu, without having to spend 10,000 hours cooking.

    Thanks heaps in advance.

    Wow, sounds awesome! I was going to say guacamole, but you already have that

    A friend of mine mixed chopped tomatoes, parsley, I think maybe lemon juice , salt & pepper & then put that mix on top of ricotta cheese on top of water crackers. Pretty quick & easy, looks good, tastes yum.

    Wow thar sounds like such yummy food!!!

    Couple of other sweet ideas... If you melt some milk chocolate and then stir through some natural yoghurt until it's a nice smooth consistency, it makes a yummy dip for the fruit that isn't overly sweet!

    Also if you google cookies and cream cheesecake slice, it's on the Kraft website, that's a really yummy and easy to make slice. No baking - just in the fridge. It uses Philly cheese, cream and chocolate so all things you can have!

    Enjoy your shower!!!

    Savoury:

    mini pizzas

    spinach dip (mix knorr veg soup mix, spinach, sour cream, and cream cheese) with french bread

    layered bean dip (layer refried beans, quacamole, salsa, sour cream, and top with shredded cheese and black olives)

    salmon spread and crackers

    Cheese ball and crackers

    Dessert:

    skor bar trifle (layer chocolate pudding, cool whip and skor bar pieces)

    nutchos (super easy and yummy, you can google the recipe)
