While there's no shortage of baby shower themes sure to elicit a good time, nothing takes a party to the next level like a mouthwatering menu. And celebrating the mom-to-be who loves brunch—a modern take on the most important meal of the day—is an indisputable way to ensure everyone's stomachs go home happy, including the guest of honor who's eating for two. Instead of booking a table at a restaurant, create a wow-worthy feast of your own with one of these tried and true recipes. With dishes spanning from savory to sweet and decadent to simple, here, you'll find flavors to match every guests' taste buds and ensure there's one very satisfied mom-to-be.

Surprise and delight partygoers with old-fashioned cinnamon buns dripping in sweet and tangy cream cheese icing. For something a little nutty yet undeniably sweet, bake individual Mini Almond Bundt Cakes as a nod to the new bun in the oven. If the expecting mom prefers protein-packed, savory staples, serve Sausage and Swiss Chard Strata or savory pastry pockets; either are easy ways to make sure she gets to taste some of her favorite flavors.

Forego the classic, entry-level-brunch favorite that is avocado toast and feed guests nutritious Beets with Greens and Ricotta on Toast. It's a guaranteed way to surprise friends and family with the naturally earthy, sweet flavors of beets, which are brought out by a shocking dash of coffee grounds.

No brunch is complete without a festive drink. Stand by the mom-to-be being alcohol-free with a thirst-quenching mocktail. We're sharing fruit-infused and sparkling options safe and nutritious for the entire party. Sadly, the party must end, but the tasty treats can continue. Send brunch attendees home with a cupcake-in-a-jar as an on-theme party favor.
