03.20.17:  Our close friends Pat and Caitlin just had a baby.  We signed up to bring them dinner through the website takethemameal.com.  Have you seen this?  You can register to bring friends dinner who may be recovering from a surgery, a child birth, or just a general tough time.  Pretty cool stuff.  This recipe, from my mother in laws files, is an easy make ahead meal that can easily be reheated and requires little prep from the new parents.  I attached cooking instructions as well as brown rice and salad for sides.  Because Pat was such a fan of my Pop Tarts the other weekend I am also including a blueberry version and some vanilla bean ice cream.

05.31.16: My dear friends John and Marjorie just had a baby.  Because she’s recovering from a c-section and has a 3 year old, I wanted to bring her and her husband a homemade dinner they could heat up and enjoy.  Before delivering, I like to attach cooking instructions and bring along rice and salad as sides.
