Help with meals for new mom and toddlers?
Hi ladies
I volunteered through church to cook a meal once a week for the next year for a mom in a program our church partners with. Mom is 7 months pregnant and has a 2 year old son and 3 year old daughter. I will deliver meals every Sunday night starting this week and I would really love some ideas from you about meals that travel and reheat well and that mom and tiny ones will like. And that aren’t too crazy expensive to make and that I can double so I can have one for my family as well.
I have a crockpot and love to use it. I am decent cook but not extraordinary— I am feeling nervous she won’t like my food. But I can always adjust to her taste and her kids- she said no allergies and they aren’t picky.
I shop weekly at ALDI and at least once a month at Costco.
I am thinking each week I will do a main dish, a salad, and either muffins or some sort of quick bread or dessert, and also fresh fruit? So for this week I am thinking Lasagna, bagged Caesar salad with dressing with Tupperware of chopped up tomatoes and bell peppers to add to it, banana muffins, and a package of cutie navel oranges. Does that sound like a good meal? I wanted to provide some snacks for the week too, hence the muffins and oranges. I can also add a loaf of take and bake Italian bread.
Any and all ideas and links to successful recipes most welcome!!!
