My menu was very similar to yours too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-964026 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:59:07 +0000 MrsH 964026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: doughnuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-964015 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:55:32 +0000 marionberry 964015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smurfette: I actually was just thrown a brunch baby shower and this is what we had, if it helps you any:</p> <p>- waffle triangles (with syrup, fresh berries, nutella, and whipped cream to top them off with)<br /> - candied bacon<br /> - sausage links<br /> - yogurt parfaits<br /> - salad<br /> - mini cucumber sandwiches<br /> - 2 drinks (1 flavored champagne and another mixed juice blend)<br /> (oh I know there was more food but I can somehow only remember what ended up on my plate)</p> <p>And for dessert we had:<br /> - cake pops<br /> - mini cheesecakes<br /> - decorated cookies</p> <p>It was really fabulous. I definitely recommend a brunch shower. Hoping your goes great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963981 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:46:13 +0000 jhd 963981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119 flying biscuit's grits are amazing!!! YUM! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963966 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:40:20 +0000 Mrsjets 963966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: pound cake skewers sound delish! I used vanilla yogurt - you'll want it to be sweetened so plain sweetened or vanilla are my suggestions. Oh and I used the stuff with fat and sugar - no skimping :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963827 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:02:18 +0000 chopsuey 963827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dessert sounds so good! I love pound cake!<br /> menu looks great too.<br /> I like the idea of yogurt parfait. It's super easy and yum!</p> <p>@Smurfette: omg flying biscuit makes the best cheese grits. I'm not a grits fan, but I could eat theirs for days., </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963822 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:01:43 +0000 Smurfette 963822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: I thought about that, but wasn't sure if that was desserty enough? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963816 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:00:24 +0000 Mrs D 963816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: mini donuts...stacked all cutesy on cake plates... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963813 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:59:29 +0000 Smurfette 963813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, what should I go for dessert? I was thinking skewers with pound cake, strawberries and chocolate drizzled over them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963805 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:58:40 +0000 Happygal 963805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: you can follow the directions--just add water! Well, and then plenty of butter and salt, and I threw in some cream cheese to make it smooth.</p> <p>@lawbee11: I went to a shower that had those and they were a hit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963794 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:56:23 +0000 Chillybear 963794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest Quiche too<br /> and also Hashbrown casserole (its like what they serve at cracker barrel) so easy and a tray goes far.<br /> <a href="http://southern.food.com/recipe/cracker-barrels-hashbrowns-casserole-copycat-15242" rel="nofollow">http://southern.food.com/recipe/cracker-barrels-hashbrowns-casserole-copycat-15242</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963786 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:55:33 +0000 Mrs D 963786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Not sure if mine is the same as @Smurfette: 's casserole recipe but mine is:</p> <p>6 eggs beaten<br /> 6 slices of bread (torn into small pieces - I like to use slightly stale bread)<br /> 1 # browned breakfast sausage<br /> 2 Cups cheddar<br /> 2 Cups Milk<br /> 1 tsp dried mustard</p> <p>Mix together and bake at 350 for 45 mins (or until set and golden brown on top)...</p> <p>You could throw in peppers, onions, seasoning, anything you want really! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963772 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:53:20 +0000 Mrs D 963772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the parfait idea too - or an oatmeal bar (can make it in the crock pot to be easy).</p> <p>Could also get quiche's from costco (I think they have the pre-made mini ones) and instead of an egg based breakfast casserole you could do a sweet one that is like french toast casserole? I have a recipe at home if you are interested. Its easy (throw everything together the night before style) and is based around those yummy sweet hawaiian rolls from the grocery store. </p> <p>MMM...totally craving brunch now.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963746 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:48:52 +0000 Smurfette 963746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Sausage cheese balls</p> <p>3 cups Bisquick<br /> 4 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese<br /> 1 pkg. (16 oz.) sausage (or Turkey) (like the Jimmy Dean rolls, usually in the lunch meat section of the grocery store, not deli)<br /> 1/2 cup milk </p> <p>Mix all together. Then roll into balls. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes or until sausage is cooked.</p> <p>you can make ahead and freeze them and then defrost and cook when you need them.</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: waiting to get the breakfast casserole from my Mom. I will post when I get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963718 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:43:16 +0000 Smurfette 963718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I might live in GA but I have no idea how to cook grits. Nor do I eat them, so I wouldn't know if they are right if I did cook them.<br /> @regberadaisy: I like that idea.<br /> @lawbee11: We do! Those are always yummy.<br /> @ms.janedoe: Just bacon on a plate? There is bacon in the casserole.<br /> @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: A salad would work too. The MTB is super healthy.</p> <p>@Mrsjets: Do you use regular plain yogurt? I am not a yogurt person, so I don't know much about parfaits? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963712 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:41:38 +0000 Thenetexan 963712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the grit bar idea and also think the yogurt parfaits would look nice and appreciate that they can be made ahead. I also think bacon is great, but unless you are sending your husband to the whole foods breakfast bar (or your equivalent option) that morning, frying or baking bacon is a messy smelly event. All that said, I would axe either the mini muffins or the cinnamon rolls (both sweets) and add a green salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963586 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:18:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 963586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: Brilliant-- presentation and the time saving tip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963580 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:17:39 +0000 Happygal 963580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Janedoe: Ha! I concur. Bacon completes everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963562 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:13:26 +0000 Mrsjets 963562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I put the yogurt and berries in the dollar store champagne cups the night before and covered the tray with plastic wrap. I put the granola in a bowl beside them so people could add as much or as little as they wanted and it was perfect because it never got soggy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963559 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:11:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 963559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: when you get a moment could you please post your breakfast casserole recipe abd sausage cheese ball recipe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963553 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:10:26 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 963553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a very simple brunch worthy salad?</p> <p>Salad greens (spinach or spring mix)<br /> Grapefruit segments<br /> Pomegranate seeds<br /> Feta crumble<br /> Light dressing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963550 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:09:36 +0000 Turd Ferguson 963550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bacon. Done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963549 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:09:23 +0000 Foodnerd81 963549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds good-- could you tell me more about the sausage cheese balls? They sound amazing. </p> <p>I like the idea of adding yogurt parfaits (probably have to be prepared that morning?). You could also add a basic mixed green salad to fill it out-- spring greens and a light dressing like lemon and olive oil or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963545 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:08:22 +0000 lawbee11 963545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a Costco membership? My mom's friend threw me a baby shower and made these and they were soooo yummy!! Everyone was raving about them, and she secretly told me they're from Costco, so I went out and bought some for myself! Super easy--just bake in the oven. I don't know if they are brunch-y enough, though? </p> [attach=1395/13/mqiahz.300x300.costco-box-of-spanakopita.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963542 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:08:02 +0000 regberadaisy 963542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about mini quiches? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963540 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:07:56 +0000 Happygal 963540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you need anything else! It sounds delicious.</p> <p>One thing I did for a baby shower that allowed me to cook ahead was a grits bar. Grits went in a slow cooker to stay warm, and then there was bacon, cheese, green onions, tomatoes, etc. to go on top. It was a hit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963531 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:06:48 +0000 Mrsjets 963531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the menu - Yogurt parfaits were a huge hit at DS's first bday brunch party </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-brunch-menu#post-963519 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:04:15 +0000 Smurfette 963519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am throwing a baby shower for a good friend in two weeks. It is at 11am. This is what I was thinking for food thoughts?</p> <p>Breakfast casserole<br /> Fruit<br /> Mini Cinnamon Rolls<br /> Sausage Cheese Balls<br /> Mini Muffins<br /> Drinks:<br /> Mimosa Bar<br /> Juices - OJ, Cranberry, Pomegranate<br /> Fruit to garnish<br /> Champagne/Sparking Cider for the Mom to be<br /> Water<br /> Sweet Tea</p> <p>I feel like I need something else for food. I want something else easy since I am doing everything myself and I have to work on Friday, so I will be getting everything ready Friday night/Saturday morning. Any ideas? </p>
