[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to bring a meal to good friends who just received a devastating diagnosis for their child.  Is this an okay menu?  I want something easy to heat up but that will keep in the fridge given the odd hours they may need to be at the hospital

Carrot ginger soup
Healthy whole grain side salad (like tabbouleh)
Fried chicken cutlets (trying to find something the siblings will probably like) 
Olive bread
brownies or blondie bars

I think you need to go with things that are more basic than this menu. In our family my kids hate carrot ginger anything and no one likes olive bread. Also Fried anything usually does not reheat well. Things that worked well for our family in this situation:

roasted chicken
baked ziti
chile
lasagna (no meat)
italian bread (plain)
salads (not cut up, stil in the bag so if it doesn't get eaten, it will still be okay)
chicken soup with noodles
mac n cheese
mashed potatoes
sauteed string beans
carrots
chicken kabobs
meatloaf (turkey or beef)
fruit salad
choc chip cookies
magic bars
noodles and meat sauteed together

Staying basic means that most in the family can find something. Creativity is not really important in this case.
