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?

Healthy Turkeys

In preparation for Thanksgiving, our family is considering to do some of these healthy plans.

• Register in a local Turkey Trot. 
• Make crafts
• Begin decorating traditions
• Create a placemat at the library
• Donate non-perishable items to shelters, food banks, etc.
• Invite friends to join us for the holiday
• Use our sense of humor
• Bake home-grown pumpkin for pie from scratch without wasting anything... puree, seeds, etc.
• Plan to use healthier ingredients
