[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 63995, member: 3837"] I'm so sorry to hear of your friends loss. One thing I've heard needed is toilet paper. I know wierd, but I have a friend whos daughter was killed walking home from school and when everyone came into town suddenly, they ran out of paper products first. She now always buys toilet paper and paper towels, along with plates, bowls, cups, napkins and plastic serving stuff. She says its a must have when you have a house full of unexpected guests. Oh, and ice. They run out fast with all the guests. Onto food. I have a few recipes I have made in the past that travel well, freeze well and reheat great. Breakfast Casserole (I usually buy a large aluminum pan with a lid to make this in so dishes don't have to be washed/returned) 2 lbs. breakfast sausage (browned & drained) 4 slices of bread (torn into small pieces) 1 c. grated mild cheddar 1 c. grated sharp cheddar 12 eggs (beaten) 4 c. milk 2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. dry mustard Grease (spray with Pam) the aluminum pan, spread bread pieces on bottom, sprinkle sausage, mix remaining ingrediants in bowl and pour on top. Cover and refrigerate overnight (if you don't have time, you can skip this process, but it does taste best if done) Next morning cook uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until no longer jiggly and top is browned. Often times sodas are the #1 drink during a time like this and that can be hard on some peoples bodies. I like to buy a gallon of water, pour half the gallon into a pot, add 2 Lipton Family size ice tea bags, pour cut up mint leaves (from the spice isle) over the top and bring to a boil. As soon as it stops boiling, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool. Strain the mint out and add 1 1/2 cups of sugar to the tea, then pour it back into the remaining water. This is great warm or cold, the added mint is great for upset tummies too which happens often between all the food provided/eaten and all the emotions. Taco Soup (this freezes great & you can bring it in large ziplock bags to avoid any cleaning of dishes for them) 2 lbs. ground hamburger meat (browned & drained) 1 medium onion (minced and cooked with meat) 1/4 tsp. minced garlic (cooked with meat) 1 pkg. dry fiesta ranch dressing mix 1 pkg. dry taco seasoning 1 can diced rotel 1 can diced tomatoes 1 can tomatoe sauce 1 can whole kernel sweet corn 1 can ranch style beans 1 can pinto beans Cook the meat, onion & garlic together, drain. Stir in dry seasonings over meat. Add all cans, DO NOT drain those, the juice adds flavor. Cook on medium heat. This is great served days later. We serve it with cheese, fritos and sour cream. When a friend of mines husband passed away I made a tray of meats and cheeses and purchased bread, mayonnaise and mustard too along with a package of assorted individual sized chips. This was easy for them to throw together and for picky eaters it was a great way for them to make their own lunch. [/QUOTE]
