Bringing a meal to a friend whose just had a baby or who is going through a hard time is such a tangible and practical way to offer support.

What’s funny is that this is not a complicated recipe, it’s actually super easy to throw together for any amount of people, but everyone loves it and every fall it’s inevitable that someone will text me asking for the recipe.
