Help with some meal ideas please...
I've started volunteering to take meals to the elderly through church once a month. They're usually only feeding one person, and for some reason that has me stuck.
I think this month I'm going to make a loaf of bread (that can be tossed in the freezer) and some chicken salad. What else would you suggest? I feel like I need to send something else, but I'm stumped.
Some of my other ideas are: spaghetti & meatballs + salad; any kind of soup (although it is getting hot here)...
Re: Help with some meal ideas please...
I'd bring a quiche, some fruit salad, perhaps pasta salad and a soup or stew. Maybe something like lasagna or a casserole that can be frozen in smaller portions.
For DH's grandparents, I made lasagna once and stew another time. I packaged the lasagna in disposable loaf-shaped baking pans. That was for two people, and I figured it they had leftovers, that was okay. For one person, even smaller pans would probably be better. And teeny lasagnas would be a pain, so baked ziti sounds better.
I stored the stew in those disposable ziploc containers.
Any sort of braised dish - stews, whether beef or chicken, chili, etc. - make good make-ahead meals, and of course pastas and soups. Pasta and grain salads would work for when it gets warmer.
