Last week friends of ours had a new baby, so we took them a gift and dinner.
I made roasted chicken and vegetables. I coated everything with a little olive oil and sprinkled on a spice and herb packet. I don't remember the exact name, but I found it near the dry gravy mixes.
For dessert, I tried a new recipe: Blueberry Oatmeal Cake. I made one for us too, and it was delicious!
I hope your week is going well. School is keeping us busy and the girls and I are getting haircuts this afternoon. Talk to you soon!
Update: We did not end up getting haircuts. We got a flat tire instead! Thankfully, Phillip's brother was able to pick him up, drive to where the girls and I were, and change the tire. Peanut butter cookies were mentioned as a thank you, so I'll be baking this afternoon!

Kelli, I just posted on my blog that I was making roasted chicken too--How funny!
You are such a nice friend, I am sure the family appreciated the dinner very much, I know I would have!
I bet having you as a teacher is awesome. You must make learning so much fun with your creativity:)
Happy Wednesday.

Recipe looks wonderful thank you for sharing. The flat tire sounds like something would happen to me...I always have to have a plan B ready with everything I do (sometimes even a plan c or D...smile
Oh that looks so good. It is not quite cool enough here for roast chicken. I am hoping that it will be on Friday.
The meal you fixed looks awesome - congratulations to your friends!
Peanut butter cookies are a common "payment" around our house for favors done too! ;)
The roasted chicken and veggies looks yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe both! I know the family with the new baby were blessed by your thoughtfulness.
Sorry to hear about the flat tire. My daughter had a flat tire last week in our car-luckily it happened just up the street from us. So glad you got help too:)
Have a great rest of the day:)

What a nice, thoughtful gift for a new mother and family. All the food looks so delicious!
There is no better gift than a home cooked meal. I love to make a nice dinner and deliver it to my daughters and their families just as a reminder that I love them and still love preparing meals for them. Your roasted chicken and veggies looks great and the cake looks delicious. In fact I am printing the recipe and making it for us. Thanks for sharing!
Well that is terrible...the flat tire & missing haircuts!! It happens tho. The food looks woderful!!
Don't you love the feeling you get when you do something like this for someone. The food looks delicious. Did you bake the chicken and veggies or use your crockpot.
Sorry about the car trouble but isn't it nice to have family around to call on when you need them.
