Baby shower at private home

Today we catered a baby shower brunch at a private home. We served Traditional New Orleans style Grits & Grillades, grilled vegetable quiche, salad of mixed greens, toasted pecans, crumbled feta with raspberry vinaigrette, a fresh fruit display and homemade biscuits with fig preserves. The hostess also had mimosas and a special cake for the mother-to-be. Well, let me rephrase that. She had cake for the mother-to-be and mimosas for the other guests! It was a great party!
