[quote=Anonymous]I'm looking for dinner ideas for drop off dinners to a neighbor -- I've volunteered to bring over dinner for her (terminal cancer) and her adult siblings who are rotating to doing the 24 hour care for her. Ideally: balanced to cover the food groups, easy to cook/reheat foods, soft/bite sized, not spicy, not "dry" as she may have a hard time swallowing dry food.

I've already brought over:

Dinner 1:
 - kale salad with boiled eggs, carrots, tomatoes
 - cut strawberries
 - fried rice with lots of ham, eggs, peas, carrots
 - stir fried, sliced up chicken breast and broccoli

Dinner 2:
 - chicken, broccoli, pasta casserole in a creamy mushroom sauce, topped with panko bread crumbs
 - cut up watermelon

Do you all have any ideas for future dinners or ingredients/components? From what I've gathered, they really appreciated the kale/strawberries since they are superfoods, and the comfort of the creamy chicken casserole. I'm thinking the fresh fruit could be mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) with whipped cream on the side. They are Italian (and I'm not) so I didn't really want to do anything like baked ziti/lasagna/spaghetti because I'm afraid they'd balk at my simple Prego sauced italian style casseroles. I am also thinking of all boneless/bite sized/easy to chew meats to minimize cut/prep of the food before feeding to her.

Thanks for your help!!!!
