What is a good summer meal to make for a family with a new baby?

Question

We're in Texas, so its hot here. I don't want to make anything to heavy. Thanks!

Answer 3

Invite them, or better yet, go to their house and grill out. Grill up some veggies, chicken or fish or whatever they like and have a nice cold potato salad.

I'd LOVE it if someone would have done that for us! That way, they are at their house with all the baby's things so his schedule won't be disturbed and they can relax while you do the cookin! =)

Answer 4

How about a nice green salad with cold cooked pasta (like rotini) mixed in with some sort of chopped cold cuts in it or grilled chicken.
