Things like frozen lasagna and stew are classics for new parents, but not exactly the greatest light fare. What are your faves that:

can be easily eaten when you drop them off, or popped in the fridge for later
don't require turning on the oven
are refreshing in the heat
are nutritious, not too junky

Gazpacho. Giada DiLaurentiis has a green gazpacho that is super tasty, and feels less like you're just eating salsa out of a bowl. Charcuterie. Did this for a friend, I knew they loved charcuterie but I think it would work for lots of people. Arrange a nice pretty board with lots of yummy condiments, meats, cheeses, nuts, pickles, fruit, and wrap it up. She mentioned it was so nice to have what felt like a fancy adult meal amidst all the diapers and non adult themed things. Made her feel like herself, not a breast milk machine lol.
