vegetarian meals for a new mom

[ladygrey]

My BFF just had her baby boy two days ago and I'm going to visit them this weekend. From reading past posts, it seems like the most welcome gift to bring a new mom is some food, so I'm planning on bringing pumpkin muffin as well an entree. However, she is a vegetarian (her husband is not), and all of my favorite go-to meals have meat in them.

Any suggestions or favorite vegetarian meals?

Also, would it be weird to do one large vegetarian dish as well as a smaller dish with meat for her DH?

Mac and cheese!

Here are some of the things I have on my list to make and freeze:

Vegetarian Lasagna

Baked Ziti

Cheese Enchiladas (you could add chicken or beef to half for her DH)

Quiche

Eggplant parmesan


Depending on how much time you want to spend, I make these chicken pot pies without chicken and sub veggie broth for chicken broth (you could put chicken in her DH's). They freeze very well: www.annies-eats.com/2009/11/11/chicken-pot-pie/

This black bean soup is really easy and also freezes well:

ETA: I've bookmarked a few vegetarian recipes from this Martha Steward article on foods that freeze well (but haven't personally tried any of them yet): www.marthastewart.com/274277/freezer-friendly-foods

I would not do pasta. I saw an eggplant saffron and rice casserole on Pinterest that looked great

What about a stir fry?
