Recipe(tried): Baby Carrots with Brown Sugar (serves 20) - Baby shower menu ideas

Hi there! How many people do you anticipate for the baby shower? I just threw a baby shower for a friend of mine... and we did a "baby" food theme. Two recipes I remember off the top of my head were baby sandwiches of different varieties (such as mini egg salad sandwiches, ham, turkey, etc...). We had a side of baby carrots with brown sugar (recipe to follow). We made a macaroni salad out of the baby ring-style macaroni. We did baby stuffed shells with the mini shells (which of course are too small to actually stuff) so you just make it into a ziti like dish with sauce and topped with parmesan cheese and mozzarella. Those are just a few I have off the top of my head. They are all fairly inexpensive dishes! Hope it helps!
