Baby Shower Madness!

I got to help host a baby shower on Saturday.  I was in charge of the 'savory' side of the food, while another friend took care of the sweets.  The guest of honour has a a few dietary restrictions (the main ones being no wheat, dairy, or soy), and another guest has an air-born nut allergy, so I got creative with the menu.  I wanted to find recipes that everyone would enjoy, and I think I succeeded.  There wasn't really anything left over.  

On the menu for Saturday [in order from left to right] :

(* indicates things brought by other people)

• "Floral" Arrangement of Fruit  (strawberries, red grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon on bamboo skewers, stuck into floral foam in a terracotta pot.  Use green leaf lettuce around bottom for 'greenery')

• Lemon Kale "Chips"

• Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

• *2 different types of blueberry bread

• Roasted Garlic Hummus with veggies and Falafel Chips (store-bought, but inspiration for a future recipe!)

• Deviled Eggs (I do mine really simply: Yolks, 3-4 good squirts of yellow mustard, Jane's Crazy Mixed-Up Salt (seasoned salt), and a dollop or 2 of mayo, then sprinkled with paprika after filling the whites)

• *Homemade Salsa and a variety of chips

• *Zucchini Cupcakes

• Rice Krispie Pops (make Rice Krispie Treats, allow them to cool most of the way, then take large pinches, roll into bite-sized balls and finish cooling on waxed paper.  Insert Popsicle sticks into balls, then decorate with sprinkles, chocolate, etc.  For display, put floral foam into a vase or wide-mouthed jar, then insert the pops into the foam to make a 'floral arrangement' -- I put a little pink fabric into the jar to hide the floral foam)
