One the best gifts I received after having my children was dinner. Friends and family delivered a couple complete meal. After a long day of tending to little ones it was heaven to just pop the already home made meal in to the oven.
My niece arrived a few weeks ago, so I put together a little meal box for my brother and SIL. The meal box included a Chicken Divan Casserole, Mandarin Orange salad, and a favorite of my SIL dipped pretzels. I also included a healthy snack of apples and a sweet treat which isn't pictured because I picked it up at the store on the way to their house. I was literally finishing the casserole in the back of my van in the grocery store parking lot.(LOL)I had forgot the croutons, and they are the best part of the dish. Organization people, I sometimes am lacking in that department.

I converted a lid from a paper box to a tray by covering it with wrapping paper. Used an onesie drinking glass from the cupboard to hold the pretzel rods and covered with a cello bag tied with of course pink ribbon. Placed all the salad fixings in the pink gift bag. And don't forget to add cooking instructions, I used manila office tags and hand wrote baking instructions. I will be keeping my eye out for new looking dishes, I can use for my next meal box. No worries about returning a dishes.
