[quote=Anonymous]As a member of an organization that regularly delivers meals to new mothers, I have always contacted the mothers via email and offered them a choice of 5-6 options.  5 out of 5 recipients have chosen meatloaf, mashed potatoes, vegetable side and salad.  So, I make my meatloaf recipe which is a modified version of ATK's meatloaf and I separate into 6 portions which I pre-bake individually.  Each piece is 1/3 lb of meat plus additions, so is large.  Each can be split in two for small eaters or can be eaten individually for large eaters.  A large container of mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, and usually steamed broccoli or green beans, then a salad.  I put all into disposable containers that don't need to be returned.

My guess is that meatloaf is something that most everyone (or at least non-vegetarians :-/ ) enjoy and don't take the time to make for themselves.  My family benefits because we love meatloaf, but I don't make it as often as we'd appreciate, so everytime I do one of these deliveries, I make a double batch and make a loaf for us and the individual ones for the new parents.[/quote]
