Having a new baby in the house is such a special time. We all know the exhaustion for both parents that follows after coming home can cause a serious brain fog. The last thing a new parent wants or needs to worry about is dinner.
Do you know someone who is expecting or just had a baby? Are you stuck on just what to take to help out with dinner? Maybe you’ve signed up to bring a meal but you’re just not sure what to make.
Here are the best meals to bring to new moms that will take the headache out of dinner!
This Chicken Spaghetti is somewhat of a Tex-Mex version but a wonderful dish for a new mom! You could even use spaghetti squash for this if you wanted.
Mississippi Roast is another crockpot meal perfect for mom and the flavor is amazing! Add your favorite veggies from the farmers market to round out this meal.
This Chicken Orzo Soup is so delicious with a creamy based broth and loaded with chicken and orzo. You could even whip up some egg salad and sandwich rolls to go perfectly with the soup.
I absolutely love this Indiana Chowder recipe that is the perfect beef and noodle recipe. Make a loaf of banana bread for them to also snack on later.Â
This Chili Mac is seriously the best ever and mom will totally love it!

I never really understood how important it is to feed friends who’ve just had a baby, until I had a baby myself last year. I always thought bringing a meal was a nice gesture, but it’s actually way more than that. It’s a lifeline, a blessing in the truest, deepest, not-just-a-flippant-hashtag kind of way.
The standard “new baby meal” is a casserole. It’s easy to make, easy to serve, and makes good leftovers.
These will be great meal for a new Mom and her family! I really appreciate you sharing your awesome post and your talent with us at Full Plate Thursday. Have a great weekend and come back soon! Miz Helen
These are great ideas for meals to take to new moms. Maybe even make a double batch of the casseroles so you can take them one to freeze for later and one ready to eat. Thank you for linking up with us at the #HomeMattersParty this week!
