Baby Shower Food

We are doing a “Baby it’s cold outside” baby shower in January. I have the small snacks and whatnot figured out. But what do you think we should do for main food? We are doing a wintery/greenery theme (posted below). I kind of want main food to fit the theme. What do yall think?

Chilli

My husband made a chilli from a weaning book tonight with the intention of giving a portion to baby tomorrow but he decided to add chilli powder which wasn’t in the recipe and just eyeball the spices. Should I still give her some?

My son is 9 months old and a bit slow at certain things as he was a preemie. What is everyone giving there 9 months for meals. My son has blended spaghetti for dinner and sometimes has crisps for lunch. Usually porridge or weetabix for breakfast but I feel like he should be having solids for dinner. First time mum

Is anyone else having issues with feeding 14 month old?

My son seems to be a very picky eater. I feel he did good when we first started solids but now he seems to want milk more than he wants food. He picks and chooses what he wants to eat but I don't feel he gets a whole meal out of it. I'm feeling a little disappointed in myself. Like maybe im failing at this. I'm not ...
