Meals for new mom

[carrie9142]

hey all, my friend Kristen just had a new baby (#2 this is the mom to my sweet Emma who I adore and used to watch). I'm bringing her  some food, but can't think of anything besides spaghetti. She is also not eating dairy. I can't think of anything that isn't spaghetti or just meat that doesn't have dairy.

Ideas? Thanks, y'all

How about a pot roast with veggies? That is easy and good.

[carrie9142]

Well, the problem is I have never made one so I wouldn't want to give a crappy and/or poorly cooked one. I get super nervous when other people have to eat what I have made! Sounds good though, wish I was eating one!

Look at see if your grocery store has one of the tyson pre-packaged roasts. They come with chopped veggies and a seasoning packet. You throw it into the crock pot and they are really good and foolproof.

I assume it isn't going to be frozen.

Taco fixings?

Something like a Cobb Salad?

Baked chicken?

Ohh, taco stuff would be good b/c she could keep the dairy on the side. thanks!

Filet Mingnons, Big baked sweet potatoes, romaine & spinach salad. After childbirth and losing all that blood, I know all I wanted was red meat!!! You could always buy one that has been pre-seasoned at Whole Foods or something.

Girl, do you think I am made of money!?! I can't even buy steak for me. I don't even have a job!

Now I am hungry though.

LOL. She would love you, though! A pork tenderloin would be yummy too. They make those preseasoned as well. (They're expensive too, though, I'm sure)

Gift card to a local restaurant or food prep service? That way she can get what she wants and when she wants it.

And that way she wouldnt have to suffer through one of my meals!
