We ate too much lasagna in the early days. I'd recommend sliced fruit and cut veggies. Healthy easy to eat with one hand foods.

Rotisserie chicken was one of the best things we received. Maybe also healthy snacks like almonds, cut fruit, etc.

I'd skip anything with cheese and tomato sauce, esp. if they are nursing.

I really like the idea of stuff for sandwiches or a whole chicken.

Whole chicken with sides or a salad with chicken, beans, cheese, avocado... something that is healthy and provides fiber (SO MUCH FIBER NEEDED POSTPARTUM!) but is filling!

Lots of people brought us pasta which was yummy and comforting and filling, but after a while I needed to just eat like a bag of spinach if you know what I mean.

Another thought could be a snack basket filled with nuts, dried fruit, gum, KIND bars, and a tiny bit of chocolate =)

I loved Lara bars because they were fast... an equal exchange makes dark chocolate that is amazing! A chocolate bar has tons of fiber and iron and protein. Hey if you are gonna eat chocolate. .. (which is great for energy!)

You're the sweetest!

Could you maybe bag up a few of your favorite crockpot recipes and have them for her in the fridge when she gets home? Marinated chicken frozen in one bag and all the veggies and fixings in another with heat and time written on the bags so she can simply dump them in and have a hot meal at night? Pack some crock bags, too, so she can just toss the mess without dishes.

A fruit bouquet! There's a place called Edible Arrangements near me that makes them. They're an indulgence because they're expensive, but it made me feel so pampered to get one because they're so pretty and the fruit is all cut up into flower shapes and you just pluck a skewer out of the arrangment and devour. Some of the pieces of fruit are chocolate covered too
