[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See what others are bringing, so you can add some variety.

My go-to is quiche, baguette, fruit salad, and homemade cookies or brownies.  I usually do two full-sized quiches, so there will be leftovers.

I never felt like I needed only things that could be eaten with one hand[b], but fajitas probably would have required too much assembly[/b], much as I love fajitas.  If you wanted to do Mexican, there are some great enchilada-style casseroles that I would have happily gobbled up as a new mom![/quote]

Then you’re doing it wrong. A spoonful of meat, a spoonful of veggies, a sprinkle of lettuce, a dollop of guac or salsa. Then eat. Or take the handheld option away and eat it as a salad with a fork. You all are insane. I would love to have someone bring me cooked components for tacos or fajitas because there’s a million ways people can customize it to what they like. Much easier to do than with a casserole or quiche or whatever. One meal that everyone can eat in the way they like to eat it. And I don’t understand the people who can only eat things one handed when they have a baby. Put the baby down for 5 minutes and eat. It really will be ok. [/quote]

You realize that just because [b]you[/b] think fajitas are easy not all of us do right? They take steps and have multiple, multiple things to clean when I'm already drowning in things to clean. Great that you don't think it's too much work but a lot of the rest of us do and are giving OP feedback like she requested.[/quote]
