Food that has baby in the name
Help I Need Baby-Que(BBQ) Food Ideas
Updated on April 05, 2008
M.C. asks from Phoenix, AZ
27 answers
I have decided to have a baby-Que(BBQ) instead of a baby shower for my baby due in July. I wanted to theme my foods with "baby" in it or something to that effect. So far the only thing I can come up with is baby back ribs. Does anyone have any other suggestions. I was also thinking of maybe doing mini-burgers instead of full size burgers to give the baby effect.
What can I do next?

Hmmm, how about chocolate pudding and you can call it chocolate "poo"ding. Or those little candy pacifiers for the adults and older kids. You could do baby carrots, baby corn, serve all food on baby plates and in tiny baby cups, make guests wear personalized bibs with their names on them. Okay, I'll stop. This is a really cute idea!

Little BBQ WEiners - you can get from Costco I think - or Oscar Meyer - can you BBQ those Baby Corn on the Cobb? or just serve them cold - as baby finger food - baby carrots - grape tomatoes also make great small finger foods - make cup cakes and not a big cake - for dessert - Good Luck! S.

Well, there's baby broccoli (broccolini), baby carrots, baby corn, little quiches, finger sandwiches, & mini ravioli(as appetizers). You could have mini skewers of meat or seafood. For dessert, you could have mini cheesecakes made with the mini muffin pans using the instant cheesecake mix. I can' think of anything else right now, but good luck with your party.

Hi M.,
I've made a watermelon into a baby carriage by cutting 1/4 off.
I then scooped out the melon with a melon baller and added other fruit such as strawberries and grapes to make a fruit salad. I added orange slices as wheels and decorated around the cut edges. I thought this might be nice for a bbq. Good luck and congratulations!

HI M.,
What a great idea! Congrats on the new addition. I saw the other day mini-bananas at the grocery store they were super cute and would fit the theme perfect. Let's see what else..... you could serve icecream with baby spoons if you are having cake and ice cream. Of course a baby cake of some sort. The burger idea is good too, you could use baby cookie cutters to cut the meat & bun in a cool baby shape. I've seen baby ice cube trays at Hobby Lobby too. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Also you could ser "pea"nuts :)

I did this theme for my daughters 1st b-day. We did the baby cans of soda and the mini bottles of water. We also had mini hotdogs. We made the buns and used cocktail sausages for the hotdog. They were a hit! We also had bagel bites and baby carrots and miniture candy bars and mini tacos from Costco. We went all out!

One of our family favorites is "Li'l Smokies" You buy a couple bags of them in the bacon section. They are little and cute and delicious. Here's the recipe:
2 bags cocktail sausages (about 40 ct. each)
1 18 oz. bottle BBQ sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
Put all ingredients in crockpot. Cover and cook on low about 3 hours.
Another idea would be Pigs in a Blanket--you could call them Babies in a blanket. Recipes for those can be found on internet.

Hmmmm Baby peas, Baby broccoli, Baby artichokes, Baby portobellas,might make an interesting salad. New potatoes (y'know the fingerling kind) Baby shrimp, Baby Asparagus, Baby Corn and for desert Baby Ruth ice cream sundaes. Mini Burgers are a great idea and a crock pot full of mini sausages (little smokies) in BBQ sauce is always a hit.

Very cute idea! Also, you could make mini cupcakes or cheesecakes in a mini muffin pan. Hobby Lobby or a local cake store (or online) would have mini cupcake papers. Could also purchase the mini cheesecakes at your local wholesale club - Costco or Sams.
If you do mini hamburgers, the King's Hawaiian Rolls (I think that's the brand) that are usually in the deli area make yummy buns. Also in that same area are usually mini loaves of bread you could make baby sandwiches out of - or use mini bagels.
Mini pizzas on English Muffins.
I think you're going to have a fun party, so many good ideas from everyone!

Pampered chef brand has many decadent recipes using this pan. Pushing in the center of brownie and stuffing with whipped cream, strawberry slice, drizzled choc and a mint leaf I know b/c I just had a few last night at a bunco. Maybe u can find this recipe on their site.
Baby food --- Container's ex: mason jars you can scoop out of apple sauce, guacamole

18 words about food that make us illiterate when we say them
You come to a cafe for a delicious meal and risk a little screw up when ordering food. Suddenly you pronounce trendy falafel incorrectly or make a mistake in addressing the bartender. We talk about embarrassing mistakes in the emphasis of words about food and drinks.
Correct: caramel flavored latte
Let's start not with food, but with drinks. Very tasty and frequent for mistakes. The first is latte, which is mispronounced not only by coffee drinkers, but also very often by waiters. And they even dare to correct "latte" to "latte". Don't do it. The stress should be placed on the first syllable - "Latte", as in Italian, where this word came from.
Correct: coffee look
Another kind of coffee with a scoop of ice cream on top. The name was coined by the French: from glace - “icy, frozen”. Previously, in our dictionaries, a spelling with a double "s" was recorded, but now the "glase" variant is considered correct.
With stress, everything also became clear: it falls on the last syllable. And it is pronounced firmly - look [se].
Correct: tiramisu
Your favorite dessert for a long time could not acquire a stable accent and dictionary fixation. It was pronounced both as "tiramisu" and as "tiramisu". The word comes from the Italian language, which consists of three words: tira mi su (literal translation as "pull me up"). And in 2012, a new edition of the academic spelling dictionary was released - and now the dessert has unequivocally and officially become "tiramisu". And by the way, there are no double consonants in the word either.
Correct: plum juice
Juice, compote, baby puree and anything else is correct to call "plum". There are no options for old / new or valid / colloquial. Although in speech, again, a variant with an emphasis on "o" is common. There is even a suspicion that soon it will become, if not the only true, then at least acceptable.
Correct: pear cider
Similarly with “pear” juice or cider. Some believe that "pear" is written with "ё" and therefore the stress falls on the second syllable. But there is no letter "ё" even close. Correctly will be "pear".
Correct: beets
The letter “ё” is cool. But she's grossly underestimated. And she, by the way, saves from mistakes in stress. If you do not forget to put it, of course. So she could help the word "beetroot". Because, firstly, the letter "e" is in this word. And secondly, it means that the stress definitely falls on it, and not on the last syllable (a bit of Captain Obviousness). So next time, cut beets for vinaigrette, not beets.
Correct: sorrel
Sour, green, healthy and very tasty to some. It remains to learn how to pronounce correctly: it will be correct with the emphasis on the second syllable "sorrel", "sorrel", "sorrel". This is confirmed by most authoritative dictionaries (including the spelling dictionary of the Russian Academy of Sciences).
And the "sorrel" option is not even considered acceptable. Despite the fact that in speech it is very common.
Correct: chiA
Even three letters can be wrong. Chia is a plant whose seeds have recently become fashionable to eat. Because they contain a lot of omega-3 acids and calcium. Just before you start eating trendy food, learn how to pronounce it correctly: chiA.
Correct: bulgur
A little about cereals. Bulgur is more popular in Eastern countries, but it has also been tried in Russia lately. Outwardly, it resembles something like small rice, but in fact it is crushed wheat. A useful thing, and the stress should be placed on the last syllable - bulgur.
Correct: drinking yogurt
Another subject of fierce debate in the Russian language: yogurt or yogurt. Many mistakenly think that "yogurt" is just another victim of the new rules. Like, there has always been “yogurt”, and now they are allowed to say “yogurt”.
This is not true. Yoghurt is an obsolete option, and yogurt is the preferred modern norm.
Correct: cottage cheese and cottage cheese
The most useful product, rich in calcium and acceptable accents. "Cottage cheese" has at least two of them: cottage cheese and cottage cheese. Surely there will be defenders of both the first and the second, but there is no need to argue: both options for stress are considered equal. And calling any of them wrong is also wrong. Some dictionaries still insist on stressing the last syllable "tvog", but Vladimir Pakhomov, editor-in-chief of our beloved Gramota.ru, assures us that variants in Russian are normal. Also, "cottage cheese" does not have a plural, don't even try to form it. And in a related adjective, the stress will be one - "curd". There are no options here.
Correct: falAfel
If you have also tasted chickpea balls, now all you have to do is learn how to pronounce the name of this chickpea dish correctly.
The correct word would be falaafel. Everything, now we are calm for you.
Correct: sauce tartar
You must have tried this French sauce too. It is usually served with fish. The word comes from the French saucetartare - "tartar sauce". And in France, as we know, the stress falls more often on the last syllable. In the Russian language, it has been preserved (this is not always the case) - "tartar". But! The word "tartar" also exists. In ancient Greek mythology, this is something like the kingdom of the dead, where Zeus sent the titans. Do not confuse: “tartar” is the ancient Greek dungeon of the gods, “tartar” is sauce.
Correct: skewers
Let's move on to meat. To kebabs that are fried on skewers. You yourself know about kebabs, but we’ll tell you about skewer. And here the problem is not only about stress, but also plural. Dictionaries give a clear recommendation: the stress in all forms of the noun skewers falls on U.
Therefore, it is correct: skewers, fry on skewers, eat with skewers.
Correct: manti and manti
Everything is not so simple with this dish. A light linguistic check of dictionaries shows that "manty" with an accent on the last syllable are much more common. The same variant is given by Zarva's stress dictionary, which is intended for media workers. But among different peoples, the name of the dish is pronounced differently, so the pronunciation of "manty", fixed, for example, in Kuznetsov's Great Explanatory Dictionary, will not be a mistake.
Correct: cakes
Another leader in orthoepic queries is the unlucky “cakes”, which are constantly called “cakes”. More than ten requests! Keep in mind the singular of this word, and make no mistake. Well, or in extreme cases, go down to "cakes", if it's completely with the emphasis of the problem. And it’s better to remember once and for all the correct option in all cases: cakes, cakes, cake and so on.
Correct: barmen
We won’t joke about “alcohol” with an emphasis on the letter “a” (but in some regions they really say so), but let’s say a few words about the bartender. Not that this word is very connected with food, but with drinks - very much so. By analogy with "businessman" or "superman", I want to put the stress in the word "bartender" on the last syllable. This is where the trick lies in wait. Most people think that it is correct to say "barmen". And let's also immediately recall the glorious word "barista" - a person who prepares coffee. We think there will be no problems with stress (“barista”), but let’s also say that it does not decline and the word is masculine.
Correct: PIZZERIA AND PIZZERIA
Everything is simple and delicious with pizza. Here is just another dilemma, where is it: in a pizzeria or in a pizzeria? Although we have been eating pizza for a long time, the borrowed word "pizzeria" still takes root, so most dictionaries again call the options equivalent.
That is, everyone can choose an option to their liking (or taste). If you want to speak in the Italian manner, then put the accent "pizzeria", and if you follow the dictionary recommended for speakers ("Russian word stress" by Zarva), then you need to say "pizzeria".

The best ideas for a special event
Popular issues and answers are popular0201 Why is it important to monitor nutrition?
Over the past decades, almost all countries of the world have been gripped by an obesity epidemic.
99% of people turn to experts for advice on proper nutrition: to lose weight, be slim, beautiful and healthy. However, exhausting diets and active workouts will not help you maintain your results if healthy eating is not your permanent habit. Weight lost through fasting will quickly return to its previous level or even exceed it.
— Ideally, when a person has his own, individual nutrition plan, developed jointly with a dietitian, — says endocrinologist-nutritionist, candidate of medical sciences Elena Yarovova . - With this approach, the specialist, on the one hand, takes into account the wishes of the patient (for example, include national dishes or use favorite foods), and on the other hand, maintains a balanced amount of calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. However, you can eat right on your own.
What is considered the healthiest food and how to eat right?
The number of calories a person needs per day depends on age, body weight and lifestyle.
On average, to reduce weight per day, it is recommended to use:
- for women - 1200 kcal,
- for men - 1600 kcal.
Proper nutrition allows you to either gradually reduce body weight, or maintain an existing good shape. A conscious approach to food involves eating plenty of greens, fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, enough of the right carbohydrates and proteins. That is, getting a balanced number of vitamins, trace elements, antioxidants. With such an attitude to food, the mood, the appearance of the skin and hair improves, and the teeth and nails become stronger and more beautiful.
Also don't forget: eating natural, healthy foods is cheaper than processed foods. And most importantly, a healthy diet is the best prevention of the development of metabolic diseases.
Speaking about the right eating habits, we can recall the traditions of Russian cuisine. After all, it was based on cereals, cereals, seasonal vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, fish and meat, as well as several fasts a year.
The dishes were languishing in the oven for a long time, which made it possible to preserve the vitamins. At the same time, additional animal fats were almost not used - this was reflected in the level of cholesterol in the blood and prevented weight gain.

Most people have breakfast and dinner at home, and it is very important that the whole family adhere to proper nutrition - the food is the same for everyone, the difference is only in the portion sizes.
Nutritionists agree that cereals are an excellent basis for breakfast - these are any cereals: buckwheat, oatmeal, pearl barley, barley, corn. These slow-digesting carbohydrates keep blood glucose levels constant and suppress cravings. Any sources of fats and proteins will optimally complement the porridge - milk, cheese, a piece of boiled meat. Also a good breakfast option would be an omelette or a sandwich made from whole grain bread with slices of turkey or fish and vegetables or avocado.
Another option for a proper breakfast is cottage cheese, to which we definitely add nuts, coconut or dried fruits, berries to reduce its insulin index.
Meals during the day should be from three to five, it is individual and depends on your daily routine, work and even on genetics - including the genetic rate of carbohydrate breakdown. Science does not stand still, and even today experts draw up nutrition programs based on the genetic characteristics of the patient's metabolism. It is better to snack on nuts, vegetables, sometimes fruits, dried fruits, yogurt.
Lunch is the biggest meal of the day, one third of everything we eat in a day, and it must be balanced in terms of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. For dinner - a protein menu (meat or fish) plus a vegetable side dish.
