Published 5 months agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Did you know we have a wealth of recipes that work well to take to others?

These tried-and-true recipes are great to give someone who is:

  • Facing a medical emergency
  • Welcoming the birth of a newborn
  • In a battle against cancer
  • Walking through grief of any kind

We hope these meals--whether delivered fresh or as a freezer meal--will help you bless someone in need soon. ❀️

Polly's Go-To Meals to Take Others:

  1. ​Taco Bar - I brown up 2 pounds of taco meat and deliver it with taco shells and toppings. I often send this with some Blondie Brownies. :)
  2. ​Banana Breakfast Cake - Sometimes it's really nice to not have to worry about breakfast! This freezes well too.
  3. ​Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole - Comfort food!

Rachel's Go-To Meals to Take Others:

  1. ​Chicken Fried Rice - Easy and very filling.
  2. ​Tomato Bisque - A personal family favorite. You can also deliver this one with the ingredients for grilled cheese.
  3. ​Instant Pot Beef Stew - Comforting and delicious with Sweet Potato Corn Bread.
