If you are making dinner for someone

what would you make them. Something easy, someone who just had a baby! Thanks for your suggestions! Smile

Re: If you are making dinner for someone

  • Anything that you can eat and then freeze for later. Also depends on season? If they just had a baby now...maybe make a nice antipasto salad with grilled chicken in it for immediate, and a small tray of lasagna for freezing? If they like spice, i'll give you my jambalaya recipe, that freezes well...also my sauce recipe, they can use it 19 billion different ways.

    Hmm. If it wasn't summer, I'd say try a stew, but in the heat, oy.  Homemade chicken soup is light though, and she can add rice or noodles to it if she wants, or thicken it and make fricassee...

  • Baked Ziti, Meatloaf, Lasagna, pot pie...
  • Someone is already making them pasta, well goulash...so I don't want to do pasta too. I have never made lasagna so I wouldn't want to try the 1st time for them. Ya know!
  • A fancy pizza, like chicken pesto? Or maybe bbq chicken, bacon & red onion? Bring over garlic bread & salad to go with it.

  • I'd do a pasta of some sort.  It reheats well and tastes even better in leftovers. 
  • I puffy heart lauri's pot pie idea. mmmmmmmm. Who doesn't love a freaking pot pie?!??
  • Probably Lasagna, or homemade mac and cheese, or baked Ziti...can't go wrong with Italian!
  • anything that can be grilled....quick and easy and summer-ish!!!  Maybe a grilled Pizza or something?????

     

    and yes, ANYTIME is a good time for Pot Pie!!!!

  • Lasgna ( sp?), or anything pasta!  Casseroles are easy to just heat up in the oven.  Chicken Noodle soup... good to freeze and reheat.  Chilli, homemade mac & cheese.   I'm getting hungry now = )
  • OMG

     

    Make my mac and cheese!!!!!!!!! Yay for whomever said mac and cheese :)

  • Heather,

    Will you post the recipe or email me? Thanks!

  • i would probably do a lasagna too.  Its easy to make.  Just follow the recipe on the back on any lasagna noodle box.  I use the no boil lasagna noodles by barilla.  There is a recipe on the back of that box that i use.  No fail every time.
  • Have you got my WW parmesan turkey meatloaf recipe?  If not let me know and I will send it to you!  I usually make that (uncooked) and deliver with cooking instructions.

    I've also done similarly with stuffed shells.
