Jessica's All-Star Virtual Baby Shower!

Hey batter, batter, swiiing! Baseball season is coming down to a close and the World Series is scheduled around the time my dear friend, Jessica of The Jey of Cooking, will welcome her daughter into the world. Who says a baby girl shower should be filled with pastels and little dainty things? Since Jessica is such an avid Cubs baseball fan and is in her last inning before her little sweet slugger gal arrives, it seemed appropriate to host this All-Star Virtual Baby Shower in her honor. For this virtual baby shower blog party, Jessica's favorite food bloggers teamed up to create a delicious spread of dishes inspired by ballpark favorites. Here's the home-run round up fit for Jessica's MVP! Please visit the following links of these amazing food bloggers for the recipes.

Congratulations Jessica & here's wishing you the best with your sweet new baby girl!
