What meals do you make to give to people who are needing a helping hand?
My mother fell at work and broke her upper right arm the other day. They told her 6-8 weeks for recovery. She's going to need some help for a while. My Step-dad is good (cooks, he even does hair and paints nails) but he works too. So I'm trying to come up with some ideas of meals to bring. Maybe some that are easily reheated? Or frozen even.
So far I'm thinking taco casserole (because you can't really eat a taco with one hand), chicken stir fry and this recipe; but with chicken breasts so it's easier to eat: Pan-Roasted Chicken with Lemon-Garlic Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes Recipe. I guess my step-dad can cut her meat off the bone for her; but still. I've made this before and it is AMAZING. (So yeah I'll be making a double batch for my family too.)
I am going to buy some disposable pans but I might just grab a few of her casserole dishes while I'm up there getting the meat she has that needs to be cooked.
