Making Meals

Perhaps you have heard several offers while being pregnant, to receive meals postpartum? A quick search online yielded these, organizational sites.

• Meal Train
  
• Meal Baby
• Take Them A Meal

Joining one of these websites could help lessen the load of coordinating meals... both on the receiving and giving sides. 

I thought of meal options to give a family:

• Pot pie
• Soup or stew
• Casserole
• Salad
• Quiche
• Pasta
• Healthy, fresh sides of fruits and/or vegetables 

How were your experiences using websites to coordinate meals? What other meals do you suggest giving?

Surprising Store With Organic Options

Where can one afford to purchase certified USDA Organic Foods for your family? 


It is so exciting to have discovered a surprising store with fabulous deals on organic foods. Check the expiration dates and consider whether your family will consume the food prior to then, or is concerned with expired foods.


Big Lots has a small yet, amazing selection of organic foods for our child. From pureed fruits to cartons of milk, the organic options are more affordable then purchasing at local grocers.


Do you have any unusual stores that you recommend for purchasing organic foods for your family?
