Sandwiches: Turkey & cheese, PB&J (strawberry and grape) and tuna, cut with cookie cutters
Finger Jell-o: Peach, Orange, Lime and Lemon cut with baby-themed cookie cutters
Fruit & Veggies with ranch dip
All these cute goodies were for a friend's baby shower a couple of months ago. She and her husband didn't know if they were having a boy or girl so we went with a neutral color scheme of green, yellow and orange. Actually, it was part baby shower and part open house held at a park for friends, family and the kids and parents from her swim school. There was even a bounce house set up!
Now the food items are pretty self-explanatory, but one thing that amused me was the novelty of Finger Jell-o. Apparently, it's something completely foreign to Southern Californians because when I made it for another event just last month, again it was met with amazement by the guests. In my family, my mom's Finger Jell-o popped up at every holiday and special event! It's the simplest thing to make, it's just 2 steps more than making regular Jell-o. Green shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day, pink hearts for Valentine's Day, orange and green pumpkins for Halloween, and when they started making blue Jell-o, she would make the 5-layer version in stars of red, white and blue.
I can't imagine a childhood (or adulthood for that matter) without Finger Jell-o, so I guess it's up to me to make sure the kids in SoCal will have the chance to discover how fantastic it is!
