Eat Deal

janellethechef asked:


So I volunteered myself to throw a baby shower for one of my girlfriends. She’s due in November, and the tenative date for the shower is September 2. Another girl is taking care of all the games and that stuff, so I just have to deal with food, punch, decorations and invitations.

I want to do mostly finger foods. I was thinking about doing 2 or 3 kinds of finger sandwiches (like smoked salmon and chicken salad). I was also going to do a crab salad in endive leaves recipe that I found, and possibly some melon and prosciutto canapes that I make all the time. And one dessert I was going to do was little phyllo cups with fresh fruit.

My question is, how much of each thing will I need for 30-35 people?

Does anyone have any fun, pretty little finger-food recipes you’d like to share with me?

Does anyone have a good recipe for punch you’d like to share?

Any other tips for someone who’s never thrown a baby shower before?
She’s having a boy, and the guest will be all women, and most of us are 20-25 years old.
