Once I heard the baby was finally here, I knew immediately that we needed to get a meal over to their family. I know what a difference <a href=\"https:\/\/bigpittstop.com\/take-them-a-meal\/\">those meals<\/a> that showed up at our house after Little Man came – it was nice to open the door and have a fridge full of homemade meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up, my mom always jumped on <a href=\"https:\/\/bigpittstop.com\/take-them-a-meal\/\">taking food to others<\/a> so quickly. Food really is the way she loves people and I\u2019ve seen her pull things out of the pantry and freezer and magically make a miraculous meal. I\u2019ve also been with my folks when they go by the deli at the grocery store or drive-through KFC and get a quick meal at the last minute. I\u2019ve seen them take a homemade treat to someone sitting in a surgery waiting room and I\u2019ve been with them when they planned a funeral meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bigpittstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Arkansas-Chicken-Spaghetti.png?resize=683%2C1024&ssl=1\" alt=\"This Chicken Spaghetti is not the one my mom made.; its the recipe that I learned from the church ladies in college.

Even if I hadn\u2019t had most of the things already on hand, this meal is one of the easiest weeknight dinners, potluck winners, or <a href=\"https:\/\/bigpittstop.com\/take-them-a-meal\/\">meals to take<\/a> and share love.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up, my mom made my grandmother\u2019s version of chicken spaghetti, and it wasn’t my favorite.
