There is a great array of dishes that people have chosen to make and many she will be able to freeze.
The deliveries will be once a week by a designated co worker so as not to tire her out with all of us keeners ringing her doorbell.
We all wish her a speedy recovery...
I have mentioned her before on the blog as she is the chic French femme who eats her burgers with a knife and fork and could wear a paper bag and make it look like haute couture. If you could see how she dresses and ties her scarves you'd know in a heart beat that she is as feminine and French as can be.
I chose to make a simple but nutritionally packed pasta salad.
She may decide to eat this for her lunches or add it to another main course.
It makes a large bowl and is really tasty.
It's a great dish to take to a pot luck dinner too.
Bon appetit!
If you can help someone in need ~ please do.
Rallying around a friend in a time of need is a Good Thing! I hope your friend recovers fully - the fall weather will foster healing, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWhen my children were little I belonged to a mothers group and meals which were easy to reheat would be delivered to mothers with newborns or families going through a tough time. A cooked meal sounds basic but is one of the most appreciated gifts.
ReplyDeleteWell done Hostess and colleagues.

What a great bunch you are, I love twirly pasta salad, it's so comforting.
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful! Pasta salad sounds GREAT! (I've copied your recipe for future reference. Thanks.)
ReplyDeleteThat is so kind of all of you. I am sure it will be well received too and all very healing for the heart and soul too. Donna
ReplyDeleteTHX for the great pasta salad recipe...Quick question: are the vegetables a cup each or a combined cup?..
ReplyDeleteOne cup of each veggie and you can be creative and use different vegetables if you so desire.
DeleteThat looks so yummy. I'm not much of a cook. I give friends take out gift cards to order food when in need. And fun presents/books.

Your friend is a very lucky woman to have you all helping her.
ReplyDeleteMmm, the pasta looks delicious, especially as it is vegetarian : ).
Yum,just right for a recovering operation meal,what a true group of friends you all are.Ida
ReplyDeleteYou're a kind soul Hostess. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteWe're also lucky enough to live in a community where this kind of support and generosity gets circulated -- it really feels good to do something concrete in such circumstances, doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind and thoughtful group you're part of.
ReplyDeleteBeing we are moving into warmer weather, I will be trying your pasta salad recipe sometime soon. Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteI was so lucky to receive many meals when I came home from hospital with Baby A -- friends, neighbours, and Master J's school. The school "Tucker Box Program" was unreal. The program is made up of families at the school. Mums cook and freezemeals for the school freezer. When a family is in need of some help, meals are sent your way! These meals were a saving grace for many weeks.
I hope your friend has a speedy recovery and has plenty of rest between now and the Holidays. xxx
