the expecting mother is having a girl...so anything pink wise will be great.Does anyone know of any good and easy pasta recipes to serve for babyshowers? and any fruit platters as well?
You could make Penne Pasta and Pasta Salad. I'm not sure what other things you are planning on having at the baby shower but you could also just do finger foods along with the pasta dishes. Finger foods such as: egg rolls, samosas, chicken wings, etc.





Fruit Platters: you can make fruit kabobs. Cut up the fruit into bite size pieces and spear onto a skewer. You could use fruits such as: apples, oranges, pineapple, banana, strawberry, kiwis and grapes.





You could make a fruit platter with fruit dip. You could arrange the fruit platter in separate groups and leave room in the center for a bowl for fruit dip (such as yogurt).





For pink - you could make cupcakes and decorate them with pink frosting and make cookies with pink sprinkles (or you could buy them). You could aslo get passionberry duo cake.


maybe strawberries and a fountain of chocolate as well (strawberries may not be pink, but close enough)Does anyone know of any good and easy pasta recipes to serve for babyshowers? and any fruit platters as well?
