battlemaiden Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I don't have any of my recipes (I will look up recipes online) so I am drawing a blank. Can I get your best meal gift idea? What do you make for people you know absolutely nothing about? They have two young children, 4/5 and 8/9ish. Thanks so much. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisperlily Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'm thinking about taking meat, cheeses, breads fruit and a veggie tray over to my neighbor's house. Easy access for sandwiches, quick snacks, grab-n-go, kid friendly and something light and healthy that most people like! When I was on bedrest people brought me: Lasagna A roast, in a crock pot, with potatoes and carrots. It was hot and ready when we were! We returned the crockpot later. Sour Cream Chicken in a casserole dish with baking instructions, and a side salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Readsalot Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I made this for a neighbor who had just had a baby and they are still thanking me (the baby is now 2) I just did some store bought meatballs (you know the Mama Mia's in the freezer section) in the crock pot all day. Then I put it in a big gladware plastic storage thingy. Then I put subrolls in a ziplock and a package of mozz cheese slices in another ziplock. They said it was great because they could just get some out whenever anyone wanted one, but it was still a "hot" meal. It was really easy for me too.

Stirsmommy Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I am roasting a chicken for a friend tomorrow. I will probably fix potatoes and a salad with brownies for dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo My kids were thrilled with a fruit basket someone brought over while I was in the hosp. They still mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.griff Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I would let them know I plan on making the meal for them, and ask them if there are any foods they avoid (due to tastes or allergies). Baked chicken breasts and mixed veggies, rolls, disposable dishes, etc. were what were brought to me when I had ds (only one meal, but it was delicious). I'd choose something that I can make easily, and that others tend to make compliments about- that means there's a good chance that this family would like it (so long as it's not a food they avoid).

Tammyla Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 We received a whole roasted chicken, green beans, cornbread, and a bag of fruit when my dd was born. It was such a blessing and we at from that meal for days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
