What a nice friend you are. I have 4 kids myself and so appreciated when people brought me meals when my kids were born. Here are of some of my favorite recipes that my family loves and that can easily be frozen:

White Chicken Chili (I've posted the recipe in case you don't want to click on all the links!)
(Prep Time: 10 minutes. Cooking Time: 25 minutes)
陆 cup butter
1 onion, diced
戮 cup flour
32 ounce box, chicken broth
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 Tablespoons, chili powder
1 Tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
陆 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups cooked, cooked chicken
2 (15 ounce) cans undrained cannellini beans
1-2 (4 ounce) cans diced mild green chiles
1. In a large stockpot, melt butter and saut茅 onions. Stir in flour and mix until flour is well blended
2. Add broth and evaporated milk cook over medium heat while stirring.
3. When mixture is thickened, add remaining ingredients, stirring after each addition. I would recommend adding only 1 can of the chiles at first, tasting, and then adding the other can if you prefer
4. Simmer for 15 minutes or until heated through.
5. Serve with desired toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions and cilantro
Serves 6-8 and leftovers freeze well
As a note, if she is going to be breastfeeding, I would stay away from anything with green peppers, and go easy on the onions and garlic (speaking from experience here!) Good Luck on your recipe hunt and happy cooking!
