For the baby shower I am planning for a family friend.  It's this Saturday, at 2 pm, so I thought I would do finger foods.  The mom has gestational Diabetes (just diagnosed), so she has to watch what she eats, and she said protein and veggies are better than carbs.  Here are some things I already have:Veggie TrayFruit TrayCrackers and CheeseBuffalo Chicken Dip, Salsa, and TortillasMeatballsCocktail Weenies OR Pigs in a BlanketCakeI really am having trouble coming up with stuff.  Any ideas?  Please help!

    Oh, and instead of the Buffalo Chicken Dip, I can do Ranch Chicken, and I can also make the recipe very very mild buffalo, so that shouldn't be a problem for the mom to eat.

    Does the mom like hummus?  It comes in different flavors and you can dip veggies in it, or pitas pieces...

    I love hummus...it's yummy, comes in different flavors (as sparrow stated) and it's chock full of protein from the garbanzo beans.  watch out with some of the sauces...they have carbs as well in the form of sugars, and they are usually simple carbs so they are worse than complex carbs.  with salsa, try to get a freshly made one (they have at Giant in the produce section...it is so good and refreshing) instead of the jarred ones.  and use whole wheat chips/ tortillas.  maybe a sandwich/ wrap tray or cold cut tray so people can make their own sandwiches?

    While it might be overdone...how about a shrimp dish? Who doesn't love a shrimp ring? Buy a chocolate fountain at Bed Bath & Beyond along with fresh fruit. You could add sparkling Grape or Apple Juice for a splash of fizzle. There is an apple-grape or apple-cranberry from Super G that is really good.
