Meals on Wheels

Most of my day yesterday was spent making meals and delivering them to some families at church who just welcomed new babies. I love doing things like this and I thought I would share the recipes for the meal that I always take. I usually double it or triple it so that I have enough leftover for my own family that evening. Enjoy!

Chicken, Rice, Broccoli, and Cheese Casserole
1 pkg. frozen, chopped broccoli (thawed)
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups minute rice
8 oz. light Cheese Whiz
1 stick margarine (melted)
1 cups chicken, cooked and shredded

Combine all ingredients. Place in buttered 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 325 degrees for about 50 minutes.

No-Bake Cookies
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick oats

Combine 1st 4 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until blended. Pour over oats and mix well. Drop only waxed paper and allow to cool.

Hi Rachel,

This is totally unrelated to this post, but I saw your recent comment on Building Cathedrals about weaning/breastfeeding. We have received another personal inquiry about this as well (just this week too!) One of the builders will address this topic sometime soon, thanks for the inquiry. I don't want to respond in the ecological breastfeeding thread as it's an old conversation and I want other readers to benefit from the response. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

And by the way, your family is beautiful!

Rachel,

I came back to this post to write down that recipe to make dinner for my neighbor who just had a baby. I think you should post a recipe every week!
