Happy Friday and the 1st day of June, Good Lifers!
The week before Memorial Day weekend, some great friends of mine brought a new, precious little boy into the world! He looks like an angel and according to the new Mom and Pops, he’s been acting like one too – so far anyway. J

What does this have to do with food and nutrition?
Well, I signed up to help the new parents by bringing over some tasty eats. Having a newborn around can certainly throw a kink into what used to be your “normal routine”! There’s an awesome website resource available called Meal Baby – it’s an online FREE meal registry that creates a calendar for friends and family to sign up to bring meals to a family in need – read more about it here: About Meal Baby.
Since my friends are not picky eaters and frequently enjoy vegetarian, I signed up to bring a roasted vegetable enchilada casserole – something fresh, but also easy to freeze and save for later in case their fridge was already packed. As a small addition, I threw together some no-bake energy bites to serve as something quick and easy to grab up during some late-night or early-morning baby feedings.
Both recipes are chock-full of nutrients to nourish the recovering and breastfeeding Mama – and super tasty to boot! So naturally, I made enough for my own little family of 2 to have some for our own! J
