Give: Homemade Meals for a New Mom & Dad

I love a good excuse to bake. In fact, most of the baked goods I feature here on the blog, I don't keep (that's too dangerous!). I usually bake when I know I have a group to share it with, such as a potluck, meeting or party (and sometimes it's a stretch--like a class assignment).



My latest excuse for baking was to accompany a homemade meal I cooked for a new mom and dad. I cooked Chicken Artichoke Lasagne, and a Greek salad for dinner. For dessert, Raspberry Cream Cheese Brownies. And while I was at it, I baked a Blueberry Coffeecake in the form of muffins for breakfast the next day. (I plan to share these recipes with you in the coming weeks.) I like an excuse to be crafty almost as much as a good excuse to bake, so I made sure to package my goods well. Baking and crafting is the perfect combination to make a handmade, homemade gift...hopefully the food part will help new mom and dad ease into parenthood...
