If you had to be away for a few days what would you cook?

My husband is capable of cooking for himself. Before I went in for my youngest I just had a few things in the freezer that I knew he'd be willing to cook, and that he liked. Things like hamburger helper and stuff that I'm not crazy about, but he and the kids like.

Do you mean for your family to eat while you are in the hospital or for you to eat when you get back? I had 4 c-sections and I cooked when I came home from the hospital. I would say to make things like spaghetti, meatloaf, chili, soup, casseroles, enchiladas. That way they can be re-heated and taste almost as good as when you first cooked it. Other than that maybe some chicken tenders and instant mashed potatoes, canned vegetables. That would be relatively easy to fix. Good luck with your delivery and congratulations on your new arrival. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Chili,spaghetti, or any kind of pasta or soups should be fine. It would be best if you could have a friend/family drop off something for them but heating is good. You won't be feeling to well even after the 3 to 4 days I would suspect. My sister in law didn't feel up to cooking for awhile. I cleaned and did alot for her the first 6 weeks after her C-section.

If I were pregnant and close to term, I wouldn't fix anything at all. There's no good reason that a man can't step in and do the cooking once in a while. My husband cooks almost as well as I do, and almost as often as I do. You're the one having the baby. Let someone else do the work of preparing the food. It's only fair.

Chili is always good. Chicken with rice using the Campbells recipe is always good, and super easy to re-heat. When I went for my C-Sections, I left cans of spaghetti O's out for my husband and bought some of the Banguet Salsbury steak, and the mostacolli, just easy things that my husband could make with almost no effort. Sphaghetti with meat sause is easy to eat up as well. Or some hamburger macaroni. Macaroni and cheese is easy to make fresh and also cooks up nicely ahead of time and is easy to re-heat. I also always have frozen pizzas in the freezer for food emergencies.

I don't think that would be much of a concern for my house. I am fully capable of preparing meals for my daughter. I can see some families where that might not be the case. Generally speaking, even the most incompetent cook-Dad will be able to get something on the table, even if he picks it up from McDonalds on the way home. Concentrate on you for the C-section. I'm sure your Husband's challenges are much less than yours.

I would fix some cold meals that could be heated in the microwave ro something like that. You could also fix some finger sandwishes too. Chili or vegetable soup would be good also.

I would have some ground beef cooked up with some taco seasoning in it for a quick taco or taco salad dinner. Maybe some grilled chicken sliced up and some shredded cheese for a quick toss together salad. If you have freezer space I would suggest a batch of chili in individual serving size containers. If nothing else I would have some bread and lunch meat in the house for a quick sandwich when he gets home late.

I would go with cooking and freezing meatballs, meatloaf, pizza and lasagna. Plus, maybe make and freeze some soup and have plenty of sandwich fixings on hand. The more food that you prepare beforehand, the less you and your husband will have to worry about once you do return home with your new baby.

i am not sure what i would fix. i have never been in that situation before. sorry i am not much help.

I'd probably go for something like tuna casserole - easy to make in a large portion and if he gets tired of it he can follow thyst07's advice and cook for himself!
