Quiver0f10 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 What is your favorite meal when you are making a meal for another family? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Beef stew, bread, salad, and dessert. Certain times of the year when it goes on sale, I've brought ham, rolls, potato casserole, green beans, applesauce, and dessert. Please, no lasagna. We've received many, many meals over the years are are sick of lasagna. Seriously, none of us will eat it now. Maybe others still love it...

ErinE Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Baked ziti! So easy to cook. Crumbled, cooked Italian sausage, ziti cooked just before al dente, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and chopped basil. Throw into a casserole dish and bake until bubbly.

Miss Innocent Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Having been on the receiving end of many meals in the last 2 years, can I first of all say how much they are appreciated! Also, I guess it depends on the reason for sending the meal but for me, living at the hospital with my son, and then being at home with him, and then being at home without him, we ate A LOT of rubbish and junk food when left to our own devices, so hearty and healthy things like beef stews were bliss for us. We weren't even bothered about puddings. Meat and vegetables were what we were desperate for! :001_smile: Emma x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallorie Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 My number one was always lasagne. Then I took my son to see "We Bought a Zoo" with Matt Damon. If you've seen that, you know what i'm talking about. LOL We still do that on occasion, but we also do chicken and rice, tacos or easy assembled things, in summer i've done strawberry and chicken salad with fresh bread. Homeade soups or stews...

Tammyla Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Lasagna :) :iagree: Veggie lasagna, fresh baked bread, and a pie, muffins or cake are my stand-by. I often send a veggie/cheese tray along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Pot roast with potatoes and carrots, salad, maybe bread, and dessert. Sometimes I freeze cookie dough in cookie-sized balls and bring those along for extra dessert for later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie_ranae Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Some of my favourite meals to deliver are: salisbury steak, potatoes baked in cream sauce, salad, dessert meatballs, rice dish, salad, dessert sweet 'n sour sausage, side dish (rice or potatoes), salad, dessert Sometimes rye bread or french bread buttered and warmed up (or wrapped in foil ready for the oven). My sister-in-law just had her 4th dc (a son) and I'm looking forward to bringing her a meal this week. Thanks for the wonderful ideas posted. I'm always looking for something that is easy to carry out and easy for the family to clean up later. Some of those hearty soup suggestions would fit that bill perfectly!

FriedClams Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 If they have kids - Zaxby chicken fingers, homemade mac and cheese, green beans, salad, homemade chocolate chip cookies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I find that most people bring a pasta type dish so I try to be the meat gal. I bring ginger/apple pork roast with scalloped pots and swedish red cabbage and whatever dessert I think of. I've done chicken & dumplings (if I am one of the first to bring) Cornish game hens cooked in lemon/garlic/brown sugar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoggirl Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I did notice nobody mentioned cinnamon rolls. I would highly suggest those. ;) :iagree: I think it is nice to throw in some kind of breakfast-type bread. I am quite certain I have neither the patience nor skill set to make Jean's cinnamon rolls, but I can make banana bread. As far as a meal, I like to take brisket (one from Sam's), hash brown potato casserole, green bean bundles, and grape salad. Throw in some hoagie buns and barbecue sauce so they can make sandwiches as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 1) chx pot pie, fresh green beans, fruit and choc chip cookies 2) beef stew, salad, fruit dessert I usually throw in a loaf of homemade bread. Something you can never have too much of and everyone likes and works at any meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Anything BUT a baked pasta. That is severely overdone, at least where I live. I like to do a roast chicken or chicken parmesan, tortellini pasta salad on the side and a veggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
