I do my potato, bacon & leek soup for most friends when they first have a bub. I also drop off fresh bread as well.

I also usually bring some lunchy hand foods.... I will make vegetable pies, sausage rolls, savoury muffins, cupcakes.... biscuits.

Sometimes I will do a mini shop for basics and drop it off... but yummy basics that people can't have on hand. Like biscuits, crackers and cheese, olives, salami etc etc... Stuff they can snack on and enjoy.

But meals besides soups are generally done in 2 serving sizes and a few.... Quiche, soup, pies, curry... I may just do a bolognaise and freeze in meal sizes and drop off some fresh pasta as well.
