are you looking for something kind of fancy or more like picnic type foods?

ive had a mexican dish. tostadas. which is a fried cort tortilla. they sell them made already you don't have to do it. anyway, with avocado on the bottom and shredded chicken on top. topped with some cream. sour cream would taste really good with it.

I'm half Italian and my Dad made some dishes for us and my mother also got some catering like these sculptued cool things for and made out of fruit. It doesn't really take much to do baby shower food. Look in different family magazines for cute kid inspired meals that are eye catching and would be cute as a baby theme. They are usually inexpensive, too.

Cheese and crackers and salami tray, fruit tray, veggie tray. I don't mean store bought make a nice one. Deviled eggs. Chips and dip, nuts, candies

Sub Sandwhiches, chips,

Soda, coffee, tea, juice, punch

those are a few easy ideas

Chicken Salad on croissants. You can cut the sandwich in half.  Pasta salad.  Brownies.  Veggies and dip.  Gyros?  A cheese and crackers tray?  Fruit salad?

If you want more of a meal you can do sweet and sour meatballs or little smokies bbq or sweet and sour with rice.

Enchiladas with rice, a taco bar

meat tray with cheeses and bread and set out some mayo and mustard so people can make their own little mini sanwhiches

italian salami wrapped in cream cheese.

if you have a costco they have tortilla wraps

you can make lil sandwiches(i just went to a shower and someone had cooked the chicken shredded it in the blender and added mayo to it and just made half sandwiches it tasted really good)

veggie platter

meat/cheese platter

good luck now that you made me hungry lol
