What I aim to do:
1. Make a generous meal, but light on dessert.
2. Make a double batch and then my family eats the same supper. Efficient.
3. Take the food in containers and bags that do not need to be returned (I recall the headache it was to to keep containers straight and then transport them back to church, all while juggling a new baby).
4. Make some burpcloths for the baby. Pretty and practical, plus easy for me to pull off.
Yesterday's menu was for a family that doesn't eat red meat:
San Francisco Fish Stew (from More with Less)
brown rice
green salad with poppyseed dressing
Wacky Cake

Next time you order pizza, save the box. Then you can take a homemade pizza to your newest parents!
great way to give!
thank you, JJ, that's a great tip!
The stew was delish. And late at night, laying in bed, Margo says . . . "oh! I forgot to add the lemon juice to the dish!". Didn't notice a thing.
What a lovely package!
Such practical tips, especially the one about writing down your menus... I always seem to get stumped when it comes to deciding what to deliver.
I love delivering meals to families with a new baby so that I can see (and hold!) the baby... selfish motivation!
Smart and sweet! It is so, so nice to have hot meals delivered to your doorstep when you have a new baby. Bless you for it, margo!!!!!
