She decided a T/Th schedule for food delivery. Any good ideas of what to prepare/buy?
So far, we thought of deli meats, bread, soups, rotisserie chicken. Is it better to have prepared foods like a casserole or can some foods require minimal assembly (like nuking or just sticking it in the oven)?Food delivery ideas for new mother?
i just had a new baby and i have a 3 yr old, you want to deliver for me, hahaha!
i find when i actually get to go shopping, i buy alot of pasta, dried or fresh, and different sauces, as its so easy to boil up and eat, plus its filling too.
if you wanted to make things, then like everyone said, make and freeze, so she can reheat.
bread, and meats cheese, mayo, and butter, are always great to have, for when shes hungry but does not want to 'cook'!
yeah after a baby and no sleep even a microwave can be hard work!
spuds to make jacket potatoes, tins of soup, treats, chock, cakes, for a much needed sugar boost. lol
beans, cheese, salads (ready prepared) etc for jackets, always handy!
also as you visiting 2 weekly, get some long life milk, then she can use that if she runs out at 2am and needs a brew!
that's all i can think of right now, lack of sleep makes you very forgetful, hope that gives u ideas!
i just thought what i would like!
argh yes, nearly forgot, get toilet roll, washing up liquid, washing powder, tea bags. and maternity pads.
they are the things you always forget you need till; you come to need them! she will be pleased!
your so sweet! should set up a little business! mum's little helpers!
would make a small fortune!Food delivery ideas for new mother?
Casseroles/stews/soups/tomato pasta sauces and curries are excellent to just microwave or freeze until you want to microwave. Portions of mashed potato are good for this too as can be microwaved to go with some grilled meat and a tin of peas/sweetcorn.
This is lovely of you and will be a great help.
yes casserolesFood delivery ideas for new mother?
Casseroles are great yes. Lasagna that just requires baking is also a good option, as well as home made stew. Remember lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Minimal assembly is fine, especially since it will allow for a bit more versatility. One idea could be to think about what you normally eat then try to transfer as much of that as you can into meals that gift easily. It sounds like you have a wonderful group of friends.
Casseroles are perfect. They are comforting, freeze easily, and can be reheated several times as leftovers. Bring them cold and she can pop them in the oven when she is ready. Most casseroles make a large pan, but you can divide the recipe into two "brownie" square pans and freeze one for her to use later. Glad makes great plastic freezer-to-oven pans that I used when my sister had her baby.
My favorite casseroles are chicken/rice, enchillada (mild if she is breastfeeding, lasagna.
Bring it over with a fresh salad and she'll be in heaven.Food delivery ideas for new mother?
That is really thoughtful of you and your friends to do!
How about a meat and vegetable lasagne? This way it covers most of the food pyramid with cereals (pasta), meat and vegetables and cheese.
Make sure the new Mum also gets some fresh fruit too!
I just dropped off dinner to someone! I made southwest salad- with lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, corn, cucumbers, bell peppers, green onions, and some warm sliced up steak.
We had the same thing for dinner that night!
Just put it in disposable stuff. I hated keeping track of dishes and then trying to make cookies or something to return it with when I had my baby! I just kept thinking it would be easier to make grilled cheese
I would make stews, like lamb stews and beef bourbigion ( cant spell that ever)... you can make a lot and put in freezer bags so she can unfreeze easily .
Home made soups are also awesome and freezable.
It really depends on what her family likes to eat though.
Bring fresh veggies and fruits too!
You guys are doing an awesome thing for her
I think shepards pie would be a good one especially if she has other children. Just incase you don't know its beef, corn, and mashed potatoes layered in a casserolle dish.
The nicest thing people brought us were the things that we could freeze and then thaw/heat and serve (right in the container was a bonus). We liked it b/c while it wasn't too much of a pain to feed ourselves, it was awful trying to cook when family showed up.
I would say the following items :
Homemade Speggetti Sauce ( Easy To Freeze )
Stif Frys
Mac %26amp; Cheese
Sheppards Pie ( Made WIth Lamb %26amp; Beef Is The REAL Way )
Meat Loaf
Subs ( Easy To Make )
