I am looking for some easy meals to make for my friend that just had a baby! something her and her H can heat up quick, etc. I was thinking baked ziti and this wild rice/chicken/cranberry casserole thing I make. hoping to make maybe 1 - 2 other things. having a hard time thinking of something that isn't too fatty or heavy. the baked ziti is but the chicken isn't really. thoughts?? I am not a mom yet, so I am hoping you new moms might have ideas. TIA!!!

also looking for a good recipe for lactation cookies.....

    That sounds good I would just make sure you put it into a leftover bowl or pie tin so she doesn't have worry about who return things back too.Lots of people gave us a full meal ex: a salad, bread, meal and cookies.

    Whatever it is, make it super easy to heat up.  It's almost better if it's pre-baked and can be just heated up in the microwave.  No multi-steps.

    We've had a month of meals brought to us, so we've definitely got an idea of what works better than others.  Both your ideas sound great!

    manicotti is fatty and heavy, but it was my favorite after baby frozen meal. meatloaf? another chicken and rice dish but add veggies? pot pies? meatballs?

    I always take a pot roast that I have cooked in the crock pot all day with potatoes and carrots.  It is a nice homecooked meal that makes great leftovers.  Pasta is nice but if anyone else is bringing them meals pasta is always the favorite.  We got burned out on pastas.

    Make sure that you do put them in pans or dishes that they don't have to return to you.  If you use tupperware let them know you don't want it back.
