Food Train Meal Ideas

We have participated in quite a few food trains, and they are always nice for helping someone in the community.  But the question is always what to make?  Here are my favorites:

1. Roast Chicken with Roast Veggies (especially for a new mom right at first).
2. Meatballs and Spinach Salad.
3. Carrot Ginger Soup and Breaded Chicken Fingers (almond or coconut flour as breading).
4. Lasagna.
5. Rice and a Mild Curry.
6. Meat Loaf and a salad.

What else have I learned (being on BOTH sides of this custom)?  

• Pack the meal in something they don't have to get back to you (like a foil roasting pan- see below for link).
• Add some fruit for breakfast or dessert.
• Pay attention to how often the food is being delivered, and adjust your portion size accordingly to make more than one meal out of it.
• Make sure and ask about food allergies and preferences.
• If you are organizing a meal train, try a website like Take Them a Meal to simplify.
