[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]

No, I’m not doing it wrong.  I’m just different than you.  Are you aware that people are different than each other, and there are myriad ways to be a functioning adult?  Lose the judgment.  I didn’t want to have six different bowls of stuff that I needed to assemble dinner when I had a newborn.  Oh well.  Somehow, I manage to have that preference and still not judge others who differ from me.[/quote]
