My neighbor is scheduled to give birth next week and I want to make her a dinner or something for her family so they can enjoy the new baby and not have to worry about cooking.
What are some good recipes for easy meals, that most people will like, and that freeze well? I don't know these people that well as I've just moved here, so I don't know if they have any dietary restrictions.
If you recently gave birth and had people bring over dinners, which one worked the best? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!Any good recipes for neighbor about to have a baby?
You need to take something that is going to really help her having her energy back! Dessert is good but the important stuff is the actual meal. Do something simple. After having a baby is not the best time to try different foods. I would take stir fry (very simple - does not freeze well but I don't think she would like to freeze food now), or meat balls with some rice, etc, some sort of chicken...Any good recipes for neighbor about to have a baby?
Stir Fry is always a good one because it's easy to make and quick to cook. It's got veggies as well as meat (she'll need to be making sure she has plenty of iron so a beef stirfry would be best) and all she'll have to do is chuck it in a pan and heat it up!
What a considerate neighbour you are!! No one did that for me :(
I got 2 frozen lasagnas and it was so awesome . . . I know it is hard to make but ours where store bought and so yummy!
We ate it for like 5 days and did not care.
My Dad also brought us a pizza . . . just showed up w/ it!
BTW, so NICE of you!!!!!!!!!
Comfort Food!! Home made soups, stews, baked pastas like mac and cheese, baked ziti, lasagna, meatloaf %26amp; mashed potatoes, etc. If you worried abot their dietary restrictions, maybe stay away from meat, just in case they are veggie. You can't go wrong with a baked ziti. Here's a good recipe:

How sweet that you want to do this for a family you hardly know!
A great turkey/chicken soup with carrots and potatoes. Soothing, nutritious, easy to reheat in individual portions.
Lasagna would be a good one for the freezer. Or enchiladas.
If you're looking for a dessert, try looking up s'more brownies. They're just brownies on top of graham cracker crumbs, covered by marshmallows. Put it back in the oven to give the marshmallows a golden crisp. They're amazing and really easy to make too!
A big tray of lasagna and a loaf of Italian bread would be a nice dinner. Also, you could take them a fruit basket (one that you put together). You can include: bananas, grapes, strawberries, and more.
