Woodland Theme Baby Shower - The Food

Are you getting ready to host a baby shower with a woodland theme? Below are pictures of the appetizers and lunch menu we served for a family friendly woodland themed baby shower.  Hope some of these inspire you for your own party. For ideas on what activities to do, check this post here.

Starters

Owl Cheeseball with Cracker, Carrots and Apples

Fruit Salad and Fruit Owl

Tomato Mozzarella Toadstools in Pesto Moss

Main Course

We made homemade baked macaroni and cheese, chili,  mini sesame turkey burgers, mini teta and garlic beef burgers, and grilled portobello mushrooms on mini homemade yeast buns. We set out chips,  lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, and pickles for the burgers.

The Dessert Table

Apple Pie

Birds Nest Cupcakes with M&M eggs and Toasted Coconut nests

Mushroom Cupcakes (Vanilla with butter-cream frosting and chocolate mints for dots)
  

Homemade Marshmallow Kebabs
Party Favors
 
S'Mores Kits
We filled snack baggies with the makings for S'mores (2 marshmallows, 2 Graham Crackers, and 6 pieces of Hershey Milk Chocolate) and tied twine to tags we made and placed in a bowl in the entryway.

Almost all the food was gobbled up and so delicious. If you would like any of the recipes, just let me know, I'd be happy to share.

    1. Sara, here is the turkey burger that I use. http://www.food.com/recipe/scallion-sesame-turkey-burger-126673. Everyone I know who try this recipe loves it and asks for it. I just made them smaller than normal for the mini version, and made homemade buns from this recipe http://www.laurenslatest.com/homemade-mini-hamburger-buns-or-slider-rolls/.
      As for the cheese ball recipe, this is what we used http://www.southernliving.com/food/entertaining/25-appetizers/pinecone-cheese-ball.
