Finally: An easy way to organize meals for friends
Posted on 24. Jun, 2010 by kchristieh in food
Over the years, there are several times that I’ve organized meals for friends who have had babies, had surgery, or lost loved ones to help ease their burden in difficult times. I’ve used Microsoft Excel and Google Documents, but neither of these has been as seamless for me and the people providing the meals as I’d wish.
I’m happy to report that there’s a new website, MealBaby, that finally solves the meal planning dilemma. You set up an account and include the dates available, dietary preferences and restrictions, and other relevant instructions. Then, send a link to the people who might like to provide a meal. Once they either register or sign in, they’ll see the dates on the calendar that are still available. They’ll also see what people are planning on cooking on the nights that are already taken. (After all, lasagne is wonderful, but you don’t necessarily want it every night. Unless you’re me.)
I signed up to make a meal for someone on Saturday night. I plan to make a great recipe for Tex-Mex Chicken & Rice Bake on AllRecipes.com, and will double it so my family can eat it too.
