There's a lady in my MOPS group who is here b/c of high-risk pregnancy reasons (her husband & kids are in Japan). The military has her in a hotel, so she's eating out for all of her meals. She's been here a month already and still has another month until she's due and then a few weeks more while they get paperwork together for the new babe. So....I told her I'd bring her some food tomorrow when I'm down that way. I'm down there every Thursday, so I'd like to plan to do that each week. She has a dorm-size fridge and a small microwave. So whatever I take her needs to reheat well in the microwave or be eaten cold (foods will be delivered cold). No food restrictions/allergies and her only dislikes are corn & peas. She had previously mentioned that she misses eating healthy and really misses vegetables.
I really need help with some ideas, esp. ways to incorporate vegetables in the entree or as a side dish.
I'm short on time before I take her food tomorrow, so I'm taking easy things.
1/2 dozen banana muffins
2 servings of pasta salad with chicken, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes & peppers
Pork barbecue from our freezer with a couple buns for sandwiches
Grapes
Baby carrots
A couple brownies
Other ideas I have:
soup (I have several kinds frozen)
pot roast with potatoes
Spanish rice with shredded chicken or beef mixed in
Italian beef sandwiches
Ravioli lasagna & garlic bread
