Do Something Good

last week i woke up to a blustery fall day.

it was the perfect day to make a little comfort food.

nothing says comfort food like a creamy pot of homemade mac and cheese.

when i saw my friend sarah had a crock pot recipe for mac and cheese i knew it would be perfect!

i could throw it together in the morning and it would be ready by lunch.

a hot comfort food lunch on a blustery fall day... yes please.

this macaroni and cheese was everything i imagined.

my kids did not agree.

they are not huge macaroni and cheese fans {whose children are they??} so i wasn't all that surprised but this left me with a HUGE crock pot full of macaroni and cheese.

i decided to give the macaroni and cheese away to some neighbors.  

i filled up a pan with macaroni and cheese for our neighbors, mr and mrs. lewis.

they are an older couple and mr. lewis is in poor health and has recently started hospice.

i sent my girlies down to deliver the mac and cheese and some cake balls i had in the freezer.

when the girls walked in, mr. lewis perked right up.

he loved having them there to visit and he loved the cake balls {who doesn't?}

a few days later there was a knock on our door and it was mrs. lewis

she returned my disposable dish cleaned and ready to reuse and a little note.

it was so simple to deliver this meal to mr and mrs lewis

why don't i do it more often?

i sign up to bring meals to people who have just had a baby or have been sick but yet i hadn't considered taking the burden of making dinner from my neighbor?

i didn't have plan.

i didn't make a fancy meal with all the trimmings.

it didn't matter. 

i need to do this more often.

i need to not worry about having the perfect meal ready to be delivered.

it can be as simple as macaroni and cheese.

a friend shared a site with quite a list of freezer meals.  

when i am preparing one meal for the freezer its just as easy to do two.

i am going to keep some extra meals in my freezer that i can have ready to deliver to someone.

a friend having a rough day 

a friend who gets sick or is tending to sick children

a new neighbor

the list could go on and on

a simple meal

a simple act of kindness

simply perfect

do you feel like you need to be prepared for a meal with all the trimmings or do you grab whatever is ready and deliver it?

i am participating with julie over at joy's hope in her do something good challenge.
