When someone’s meal schedule is already full, I love putting together a snack box to leave on their doorstep. It’s a thoughtful way to care for a new mom, someone recovering from surgery, a college student, or anyone who could use a little extra encouragement.

I always love trying new recipes when I’m taking someone a meal, and these lasagna roll-ups are one I’d definitely recommend! They were absolutely delicious, transport really well, and are budget-friendly. The best part is you can make them in an aluminum pan, add simple cooking instructions for your recipient, and they can just pop them in the oven whenever they’re ready.

One thing about me is I love a good dessert, so when I saw these Cake Cups, I knew I had to give them a try! They’re perfect for potlucks, parties, or to include with a meal you’re taking to someone. I also love that they’re individually packaged, making them easy to grab and share.

Back-to-school season is right around the corner, and I always love getting a little creative! I made these adorable pencil treat bags, and they’re perfect to include with a meal for a family getting ready to send their kids back to school. They’d also be fun to make for your own family, a school function, or even a back-to-school party.
