S/O meals after baby

[jnoellee]

What meal would you like someone to bring to you after you had a baby?

I'm visiting my friend this weekend and want to bring her and her husband food. No she didn't set up her own meal train, lol.

Any suggestions? Besides expensive lasagna.

Hmm. This is different now that I have a kid. Easy casseroles. Meat and cheese platters with crackers are what I would eat the most.

My dad brought us homemade Stromboli and cake lol. That was delicious. I also appreciated fruit trays because I didn't have time to prep stuff like that.

Someone made us stuffed peppers after E was born and they were really yummy.

Platter of sandwiches.

I would want a huge salad like Cobb or Greek and maybe soup or a rotisserie chicken

Lasagne. The expensive kind.

This was one of the best things! My mom made it for us and I could just quickly grab a sandwich or snack. Also some homemade cookies or pasta salad is good too.

I would have loved anything. No one brought us anything with Amelia. My friend made a taco bake for Brady's birth

When Benjamin was born my MIL brought us a pasta bake - egg noodles, chunks of chicken, peas, carrots, celery, onion in a chicken gravy type sauce that was wonderful heated up, or just cold from the fridge too. My parents brought meatloaf, scalloped potatoes and a green salad.

No one brought anything when Elliot was born. I had meal planned and pepped a bunch of crock pot meals for that week since I was teaching, so we ended up having lot of easy options when we came home from the hospital - chili, minestrone soup, Swedish meatballs. Pre-marinated cuts of meat with a green salad and a load of bread is quick and goes together nicely.

Our doula gave us chicken, broccoli, and rice with lemon sauce and a fruit salad, which I loved. Also I always say this but a pie and a bottle of wine

I love the rottiserie, bag salad and fruit tray ideas. So easy for me, lol. I totally didn't think of that and can pick them up at Costco. Thanks!

I will either do that or casserole.

I will need to do some serious meal prep when baby #4 comes! I'll be asking your for recipes.

My favorites after Carter came from the same person. She brought me scones, which were a delicious easy snack, and she brought me prepped salad stuff - cleaned, chopped veggies and toppings. That was what I want craving most.

I feel like I'll want hand held food when the next one comes. After Zoe was born, all I wanted was tacos. Scones sound amazing.

Cheesy broccoli and chicken casserole is my go to if they can have dairy.

I always wanted 1-handed food. Baked goods were awesome since I could grab a muffin/slice of banana bread/etc. Whenever I could.
