Munchkins come to mind, but I hate DD. I think bagels, quiche, and fruit, hits all the necessary categories. But I suppose people do like sweets. Maybe rugelach? Those are small?

Juice boxes could be cute if you can find pretty ones. Like not the ones with muppets. I think there is an organic apple juice box that is pretty. : )

eta -- mini muffins with a glaze?

Mtn, I hate DD also but it's an easy way to feed a larger group -- though I should point out that this isn't likely to be breakfast for many. Rather breakfast treats.

I have a great recipe for lemon ginger muffins with a lemon glaze-- I will definitely add them to my list!

LK, I love the idea of an oatmeal bar but I think it may be too much hassle for this event. Still, I like the idea so maybe I'll float it by the rest of the team and if they'll enjoy it too, I'll make it happen!

Perhaps include small yogurt cups? How kind you are to undertake organizing!

They have cute little mini yogurt cups for children. They are GOOD! Other brands than these are available:

I was thinking of small yogurt parfaits using fresh fruit, plain or vanilla yogurt and granola on top.

Great ideas-- I can't eat yogurt so it just didn't occur to me!

Not a 'little' thing but can be cut up into pieces, I *love* this almond puff. The dough is made similarly to a cream puff and can be used as like a breakfast pastry or as a dessert.

I was going to suggest yogurt too. You may not want the extra work, but at one of my recent morning outings they used tiny clear plastic cups with fresh blueberries on the bottom and plain yogurt on top, served with tiny clear spoons. So cute. I asked and was told the supplies came from a dollar store.

Maybe BLT’s with mini chickpea or breakfast veggie burgers instead of bacon. These are cute with little pancakes.

Donut muffin holes. You make donut muffins only bake them in mini muffin tins. Dip them in butter and then in sugar and cinnamon mixture. They are yum and would be a sweet treat! If no one wants to make them, then I would suggest getting donut holes from either a local donut shop or DD.

I like the idea of little foods. Not thrilled with juice boxes... that's where I would draw the line. Yet, I cannot think of a better substitution. Maybe juice served in baby-themed paper cups?

Add yogurt or deviled eggs for more protein and then call it a day. Juice boxes are so wasteful and expensive. Just get some juice and small paper cups. OJ and apple for those who can't drink OJ. Keep it simple.

Those little Dixie cups, maybe, for juice?

Bantam Bagels are little donut hole like bagels stuffed with stuff, savory or sweet.

They are now available at many Starbucks ( or frozen in grocery stores). I’ve only had freshly made ones and those were very good. Shark tank item.

Sorry I’ve been MIA. Meetings from 9:30-5pm. I’ll follow up soon.

Ooooh I've never heard of bantam bagels. Something to put on my bucket list!

Thanks for all the great ideas. I have made donut muffins before and they're a great idea! I need to limit what I take on to make myself but I will definitely do a mini muffin and the quiches. I also love the little oui yogurts.

I don't feel the need to have a meat-- or even a protein for that matter. However, there will be quiche and likely yogurt. Since it is in the office and not at a meal time, I see the food as treats.

Not sure what I will do for drinks-- I'll have to think about it.

Thank you all for the great ideas!

Oh yeah to donut muffins. Here's the ones I make from cook's country...positively decadent. https://community.qvc.com/t5/Recipes/Does-anyone-have-the-Muffin-Tin-Donuts-recipe-from-Cook-s/td-p/2601669

You'll enjoy the donut muffins that's for sure. And the Oui yogurts are perfect! And so cute!

Yes, I really like the donut muffins-- though I think the ones I made previously had blueberries in them. This is the other recipe I really enjoy and I think our team will enjoy: Lemon Ginger Muffins. I have made them twice and I'd say for a muffin, they feel "special" and celebratory.

This group is very big on fruit and while they enjoy sweets, it's usually in smaller quantities so I like the combo of bagels, muffins, quiche, yogurt and fruit.. I may forgo the donuts or just keep them for when we open up to the larger group of 40 (because, come on.. they're cheap for a crowd!)

Still not sure what I will do for drinks-- for many of our gatherings, we have people bring their own drinks. So many drink just water. Coconut water is a favorite of the mother-to-be so maybe I'll just pick up some of that and call it a day.

Now I am off to purchase her gift-- I did pick up some little things but her big gift from the team will be a stroller/car seat combo. She's so excited for her first baby-- this will be a fun celebration! Thank you all for helping me make it more special!

Cuties mandarins, miniature bananas.

Seems like a great plan, Funkyart, and I'm sure the mother-to-be will be so appreciative. Enjoy the celebration.

Miniature bananas?

Since everyone was so helpful, I wanted to pop back and share the final plan!

Things have become even more hectic than I spoke of before.. so took a deep breath and decided to order almost everything from a local coffeehouse/bakehouse. I had planned to make muffins but I just don't have the time to do it. I trust this place and while it isn't cheap, it's very low stress.

The team nixed yogurt -- we did talk about a sweet Pongal but opted to nix that also. Someone else is handling decorations and was *very* excited to get blue Gatorade. Not my choice but I have decided I am too much of a control freak and I can roll with it :)

BTW my suggestion for drink was iced butterfly pea flower tea -- a beautiful indigo blue with no artificial colors! I'll save it for the 4th of July!

Here's the menu..

• Asparagus Leek Quiche
• Mini Croissants with apricot nut chicken salad
• Mini savory bagels shipped in from NYC + butter/cream cheese
• Scones - two flavors: blueberry lemon ginger and apricot almond with a citrus glaze
• raspberry coconut thumbprints (a team favorite-- and they really are amazing!)
• fruit platter - I will do this piece but will keep it super easy and casual .. like this

The team requested cake instead of cupcakes. I intend to order a cake similar to this and add a "welcome baby boy" cake topper thingy:

Thanks again for all your help-- I am sighing with relief now. My food order is complete and the gifts have arrived. All I need to do is order the cake!

OMG that all sounds sooo good!

Mtn (and anyone else), my second choice for a protein kind of sandwich is "Grilled chicken, havarti cheese, toasted pecans & homemade fig jam grilled in a honey wheat wrap". I am still torn (and can still modify the order).

It is breakfast at the office (9:30) but we're a mix of early risers and late starters so I liked the idea of something that bridged the gap between breakfast and lunch.

What do you think-- the chicken salad croissants or the grilled chicken pecan fig wraps?
