Need to take a meal to a friend? These easy recipes can be made ahead and reheat well, plus they're super delicious!
Taking a meal to a friend in need is such a tangible way to show you care. We've been on the receiving end of a meal train and it was a huge blessing to our family. If someone you know is going through a hard time or maybe welcoming a new baby into the family, this post is for you!
Whatever you make will be appreciated. These are some of our favorites. They are easy, reheat well and can serve several people. We included some breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course, dessert options. If I have time to bake, I love to sneak in muffins or cookies along with the meal I'm bringing. Keep this post in mind next time you want to provide a meal for a friend in need!

Thought for the  day:
and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
His understanding has no limit.
Psalm 147:3-5Â

Like this site and recipes very much. However there are way too many ads and pop ups which makes it frustrating and takes away the enjoyment of reading.
Hi Wendy, sorry for your frustration. It would be nice if we didn't have to have ads but it's what pays the bills as well as our employees. It's expensive to run a website and it's the way we can offer well-tested recipes to our readers for free.
