Come Party With Me: Baby Shower — Menu
When hosting a baby shower, be sure to consult the mother-to-be before selecting a menu. Her appetite may have changed, so ask her what she wants to enjoy at the party. My pal Denise has requested a delicious spread of savory brunch dishes.

There's nothing like waking up on a weekend morning and having a late breakfast/early lunch. And if I'm eating breakfast I like it savory, not sweet. I'm more of an eggs and bacon type of girl, not a French toast and pancake type.

In Season: Fennel
It's surprising that a hardy green such as fennel is so unknown to so many home cooks, especially considering the vegetable's adaptability: Its bulb, stalks, and fronds are all completely edible, either raw or cooked, and it possesses a pleasing, mild anise flavor.
