We've been spoiled by friends bringing dinner 4 days a week since the week after LO was born. Starting in July we're on our own. What are some things you could handle making in the first couple of months? I need to make things I can step away from since LO is nursing so much... Or things DH can handle on his own. I'd love some ideas!
-
I baked a few chicken breasts and had salad with chicken for a few days! We had some meals in the freezer too. Sandwiches are easy too.
-
Casseroles that I could throw together while LO was sleeping, grilled meats and veggies (I prep, DH cooks), sandwiches, and we still keep frozen pizzas at all times.
-
Baked or grilled meats and salads, spaghetti, meatballs, etc. I actually enjoyed cooking because it was a nice break from baby duty all day. Hardly anything ever takes more than half an hour.

Way to much takeout. DH grilled out a lot as well cause no dishes!!
-
We ate a lot of takeout too. We'd also get the veggie trays from the store and nibble on those all day, cheese & crackers, sandwiches, lots of easy stuff! That's so great your friends have helped out so much!!! We came home from the hospital stay to a roast in the crock pot and it felt so decadent not having to start it...it was just ready for us!

Baked chicken, casseroles, bagged stir fry from the freezer section at the grocery store, sandwiches, frozen pizzas, freezer meals for the crock pot. I make it while DH is napping - one serving goes in the crock-pot, and the other in a freezer bag for a busy day. I always factor in lots of left overs for anything!

Lots of takeout and simple meals....grilled chicken, pasta, steak.
