Meal Suggestions Please for Sick Neighbor
Hi Ladies,
One of the ladies in my neighborhood mom's group is ill and we are organizing dinner drops for her and her family. I want to sign up to help out but before I do, I wanted to have something in mind. Or several things since the drop will be going on for several months.
Does anyone have any dinner ideas that you know most people like and are easy to eat or freeze if they need to? The youngest child (3, I think) has a dairy allergy. What is your go to meal for someone that is sick or just had a baby?
Recipes would be wonderful if you have them on hand! Thanks for your help!

Soup
I did not have time to make meals for my sick neighbor so I went to Central Market and purchased some ready made meals.
