Best Meal to Bring New Mom

[Anonymous]

I'm on a meal train, what should I bring?

I like tacos/fajitas. Some ground beef or turkey, fajita veggies, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, guac, salsa, cheese etc. Everything in separate containers and people can make whatever they'd like (salad, hard shell tacos, soft shell tacos etc).

Fruit tray or a veggie tray and a gift card to a restaurant that delivers.

No new mom want a potluck.

Things that can be eaten with one hand are great. Muffins, cut up fruit, mini quiches, drumsticks, cut up vegetables. I had a summer baby, so I loved gazpacho and smoothies that a neighbor brought over. Nowadays, I'd love a homemade soup or stew.

Groceries basics- milk, bread, yogurt, granola bars, fruit, salad

Snacks! Cheese sticks, cookie packets, trail mix. Lasagna if a meal because you can just pop it in the over and done.

No offense but if someone brought me fajitas I would never speak to them again.

Ok, psycho.

I bring a dozen bagels with a jar of peanut butter, a tub of cream cheese, a jar of pizza sauce, a bag of shredded mozzarella, some easy hand fruit, and some freezer bags.

Everything is fairly nonperishable ( I ask if they want me to slice and freeze any bagels before I leave) and can be eaten one handed at different times of day. A bagel with cream cheese or pb, or a pizza bagel, are super easy and gives some variety.

Agreed. I would be hella mad if I had to clean all those containers and heat up tortillas and meat separately.

I like this idea! Just make sure they’re good bagels

I recently did butternut squash soup, a big green salad with homemade dressing on the side, a baguette, and chocolate chip cookies. Easy to reheat and have as leftovers the next day.

Another hit was emailing or texting to ask for their Panera order. Did that with a close friend.

How about just be sure to appreciate and be grateful someone brought you some food,! New mother's have months to prepare and freeze food. No need to bring anything.

I don't go to that much trouble at home and I sure as shooting am not gonna do it for someone else! OP, bring what you can and make it easy on yourself.

I probably would’ve kissed you and cried if you brought me this.
