baby shower snack questions
i'm going to be an aunt!!!!!! my best friend (and roommate) is expecting her first child in early march. I get the honor of throwing her baby shower and wanted to show off my mad crock skillz. the problem is i'm not sure what all to make. here are the details, any and all help is appreciated!!!!!!
i'm looking to feed 20ish people and have a large crock.
interested in appetizers, dips, and spreads.
i do not want to do meatballs or lil smokies. also a no go on the queso style dips. something hearty or other meat like products are welcome though.
bonus points if it's gluten free.
i would really really appreciate any and all recipes that you have tried for a gathering and would do over again. i don't mind prep work but something that can be done in 3 hours or less would be best since the party is at two and i will have lots of running around to do before the guests arrive.
have a wonderful day! :D
EDIT: thanks a ton to everyone who has offered up a recipe or suggestion! they all sound amazing and i'm sure if i don't make your suggestion for the party i'll be making it for myself soon after!!!
also a big thanks to everyone concerned about my gluten free remark. i want to assure everyone that yes, i do in fact understand celiac disease well. my mom is the guest in attendance who has the disease so i've had 26 years of working around a gluten free lifestyle. but like i said i appreciate the concern :)
