I am always looking for a reason to throw a party, especially with my other like-minded mommy friends!  You know the kind where you drink fancy adult beverages and toast the days events…… okay time to wake up mom- those were the days before the kids entered the picture.  Nowadays I usually have my kids in tow (I know ya feel me) so having a party without them is hard to do so what DO you do as a mommy who likes a good party?  Answer- you party like a Mommy and have a Beech-Nut® Naturals™ Mommy party and bring the kids along for the fun!

What is Beech-Nut® Naturals™

I’m glad you asked!  I am sure you have seen the Beech-Nut® Naturals™ “honeypot” shaped jar with a green lid on the shelves of your local retailer!  Within that cute little jar contains their line of simple baby food purées made with real fruits, veges and ingredients you can pronounce!   Being a small company in upstate New York with just 300 employees, they are passionate about making real food inspired by homemade for your baby!  Beech-Nut’s tagline: Beech-Nut® Naturals™ real food for babies™ doesn’t just come out of no where but was created with input from real moms and dads who were looking for natural ingredients and nothing artificial to feed to their precious little ones.

Beech-Nut® Naturals™ Mommy party

There are many different ways you can still party like a mommy with your kids by incorporating unique and fun themes when you host a party or get-together.  An unique theme to try if you have young kids is a Beech-Nut® Naturals™ Mommy party!  It’s very simple to do and kids are part of fun!

Just invite over your mommy tribe or pick a place to meet,  do a bit of decorating,  plan some fun games and delicious appetizers,  stuff a few goodie bags with some delicious flavors of Beech-Nut® Naturals™ for moms to take home  and do your party thing!  This type of party will be a hit because every mommy is concerned about what they feed their baby so there will be plenty of talking (and tasting) at your party!

Blackberry Cream Cheese Cracker Bites  (for Mom and Baby!)

What you need:

• 1 jar of Beech-Nut® Just Apple & Blackberry purée
• 1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus more for serving
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 20 fresh blackberries,
• 20 round crackers

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the whipped cream cheese, lemon zest and lemon juice until well incorporated.
2. Gently chop 10 of the blackberries into small pieces. I chopped mine into 6 pieces each.
3. For baby bites, take a cracker and spread with roughly 2 teaspoons of cheese spread, leaving the sides of the cheese towards the outside of the cracker slightly higher than the middle. This will ensure that the purée will stay in place.
4. Dollop roughly 1 teaspoon of Beech-Nut® Just Apple & Blackberry purée into the center of the cheese spread. Top with 1 chopped blackberry.
5. For mom bites, take a cracker and spread with roughly 2 teaspoons of cheese spread, leaving the sides of the cheese towards the outside of the cracker slightly higher than the middle. This will ensure that the purée will stay in place.
6. Dollop roughly 1 teaspoon of Beech-Nut® Just Apple & Blackberry puree into the center of the cheese spread. Top with 1 full blackberry and sprinkle with a pinch of lemon zest.
7. Place both bites on a serving platter and serve.
