Re: What meal do you take to a family with a new baby?
I usually take my homemade minestrone along with my chicken salad, some bread from Panera (or bread that I made...but usually not) and a dessert. I started this because I had a vegetarian friend with a newbie, followed by another friend with a newborn during Lent...that way the rest of the family could eat the chicken (the non-vegetarians) and/or eat the chicken as sandwiches the next day. The soup also lasts for more than one meal. I got so many compliments from the two friends that I almost always make that now.
My favorites when I was the new mom were: chicken on rice with side of brocoli salad and homemade cookies; roast in the crock with twice baked potatoes and spinach salad and homemade apple pie;homemade bolognase (sp) sauce with huge salad and lemon cake; and a delicious BBQ beef from the crock. My friends are great cooks...my dh and I kept saying "we should have a baby more often!" LOL
