Shower in a Box

Recipes for the shower menu

• Shrimp ceviche
  This menu item can be prepared totally or partially the evening before it should be served. It can be served in a variety of ways, like a salsa with chips, spooned onto a piece of toasted tortilla in more of an hourderve format, or served in individual containers as a meal course.
  
• Baked brie served with crackers and preserves
  This recipe requires very little preparation time. It can be prepared just before the shower begins and served hot. Be sure to set the serving plate and the accompanying crackers and preserves in place on the table ahead of time.
  Note: Imported brie made with unpasteurized milk may not be appropriate for expectant mothers so be sure to see where and how the cheese was produced.
• Pimento cheese spread stuffed in celery
  This recipe is very simple and can be done the day before. It can be served in celery, with crackers, or as sandwiches.
• Deviled eggs
  This is a menu item that is appropriate for most guests. They accommodate people on low-carb diets, vegetarians(not vegans), and those with milk allergies. They can be prepared the day before. If you are worried about discoloration, you can store the cooked whites and yolk filling mixture separately and then combine on the day of the event.

• Spinach Salad with Peaches and Pecans
