Best Baby Shower Appetizers

Give the guest of honor the recipe for this delicious sweet pea mash -- when blended smoothly it easily doubles as baby food!

Virtually everyone loves a good deviled egg. Pick one variety to prepare, or make all three -- classic, bacon and cheese, and edamame -- and let your guests choose their favorites.

Keep these crispy, mouth-watering appetizers warm in a 250° oven until you're ready to serve.

Use a good store-bought pesto for these savory treats, or make your own by pulsing the following in a food processor until smooth: 2 cups fresh basil, 1/4 cup pine nuts, 3/4 cup Parmesan, 3/4 cup olive oil, and 3 garlic cloves, chopped. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Cross French flavors with a classic Mexican crowd-pleaser to get this yummy finger food. If you can't find Gruyere cheese, any creamy Swiss will do.

This recipe is so easy you'll never buy spiced nuts again. Try to be patient: the nuts will crisp up as they cool.

Give this creamy dip a deep, rich and sweet flavor by caramelizing the onions first. Then serve the dip alongside your favorite raw veggies, like sliced carrots, celery, and bell peppers.

Who says bruschetta can only be topped with tomatoes? Pack a flavorful punch by adding delicious shrimp and herbs on top of grilled bread.

Just four ingredients, salt, and pepper come together to make these sophisticated little bites your guests will devour.

Think of this creamy spread as an Italian twist on hummus. It's equally good spread on crackers or used as a dip for veggies.
