Need ideas for food to take to friend recovering from surgery

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Ideas?  Normally I would do my awesome baked spaghetti, but my friend used to live in Italy and is married to a real Italian and, well...LOL  I know, it's silly, but I just thought I'd do something different. I was thinking of a butternut squash soup that I make that's always a hit at my dinner parties.  And maybe some cornbread muffins?  Any other great casserole ideas or anything?  I haven't decided yet.

I should add, my friend has a 17 month old baby (G's future husband) so kid-friendly ideas would be great.  She's not going to be cooking any time soon.

    You could do a double batch of meatloaf and bake one loaf and freeze the other for them to have on hand.

    How about a nice hearty vegetable soup? I would think that would be good w/the LO. It you make the chunks big enough of the veggies they can just pick them up.

    What kind of surgery?  Does she have any dietary restrictions?

    Fibroids.  I really don't know.  I'm really more thinking about food for her fam. Her mom will be here, but I'm sure she'd like to have a night where she won't be cooking, or just having easy stuff on hand to heat up.  I should probably be thinking along the lines of things that would freeze well?

    That meatloaf sounds so good. And I like the cornbread idea too. As far as kid friendly goes, do you know if he likes baked macaroni and cheese? Jordin loves it. I also like a good chicken/cheese/broccoli casserole.

    scalloped potatoes with some kind of meat (my mom does ham which I don't like so I do bacon)

    I like your idea of soup and cornbread.  In fact, if I ever have any surgery, I'll send you my contact info so you can FedEx that to me on dry ice.  Stick out tongue

    Soup in individual containers that could be frozen for later meals.

    Barefoot Contessa has a yummy meatloaf recipe (I don't even like meatloaf but I eat this one!)

    Paula Deen has a yummy taco soup recipe. But I like your BN Squash idea too.

    Enchiladas freeze well.

    I would add don't forget dessert! My friends and I joke that after surgery all we wanted was some homemade chocolate chip cookies. It's become a funny little tradition.
