In just a few short weeks, I’m going to be an aunt! I can’t wait!
Back in September, I helped plan and catered a baby shower for my sister. The menu was designed to be eco- and pregnancy-friendly, with a focus on high-quality, seasonal, organic ingredients for mama, baby, and guests.
The invitations were printed on recycled paper produced with “100% green hydroelectric power” (great paper and great customer service).
Beverages were served in mason jars that will be re-used for canning.
The Menu
- Mini quiche (recipe): whole wheat pastry crust, wilted rainbow chard, caramelized red onions, Cypress Grove “Midnight Moon” goat cheese.
- Cannellini bean crostini: from dried beans; with rosemary, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and sundried tomatoes.
- Spinach salad: dried cranberries, toasted pumpkin seeds, “Bellavitano Raspberry” cheese, and homemade balsamic vinaigrette.
- Carrot cake: with cream cheese frosting; made with organic ingredients; icing dyed with natural, vegetable-based food coloring.
