So what do you take to people that need meals, whether it be because they've had a new baby, had surgery, or just even need a meal????
I would LOVE to hear all suggestions...including side dishes, desserts, treats, anything to help us get prepared for this next phase of our life!!! :)

I make meatballs, there are so many things you can do with them!! sweet and sour meatballs and rice, speggetti and meatballs, swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes, plus my kids will eat them just plain!!lol.. I also make meat pies, buns, chili, pizza, and of course lasagne!!! lol There is my tip!!lol. I have never had a meal brought to me after I have had a baby!
Roasting a whole chicken is very easy. Throw some veggies in around it and viola! a meal. Good luck Jackie, it is coming so soon!
Thanks for the ideas guys, meatballs are so easy to make and good idea to make them so many ways. Roasted chicken is my favorite, we had it last Sunday and that was the first time in a LONG time... mmmm...
Theresa-I can't believe you have NEVER had a meal brought to you.
Laura-it is coming WAY too soon..hehe..actually I am starting to get SOOO excited.
I don't know if I made my chicken casserole for you, but it's really simple and Nate would love it...
You shred a chicken breast about 4 or 5 cups.
(I usually boil a bag of chicken thighs with the skins and then I can use the juice to make soup later if I want, or any other cooked chicken.)
Mix with a pint of
sour cream, 1 can cream of chicken soup, mix and place in pan or casserole dish.
crunch ritz until you have 1 1/2 cups. mix with 1 cube melted butter and 1 tbsp. of poppy
seed.
top caserole. Bake 350 for 45 min.
It's so easy.
Soups. Did you know rice, pasta and mashed potatoes freeze really nicely? I made lots of stuff before school starts (because I'm lazy). Makes a meal really quick. pizza pockets, casseroles. Cook up taco meat and stir fry meat and freeze it. I see what else I can think of :D
Shepherd's pie freezes really well too. Mix cooked hamburger with mushroom soup, layer of peas (or green beans), top with mashed potatoes, and you're good to go. I also always cook up several large packages of hamburger and freeze into smaller portions. That way you can just pull out and season what you need for tacos, burritos, spaghetti, stroganoff, or nachos (my personal favourite, yummy!). Good luck!
Chili, Beef stroganoff, Mini Meatloaves (made in Muffin tins), sloppy joes, Taco Casserole, Chicken and Broccoli Rice Bake, Creamy Bacon Chicken, Hawaiian Chicken, Ritzy Chicken, Salsa Chicken, Stove Top Chicken Casserole, Cheesy Funeral Potatoes with Ham, Hash Brown and Sausage casserole, Chicken manicotti, Ravioli Casserole, Spaghetti Casserole.
Call me or email me for the recipes :) Good luck with the baby.
These all sound great, but my favorite is take out!!
Luv ya,
Mum
