Time for our best home cooking

Return Serve headed back to the Ronald McDonald House on October 24th. We were there to fix a tasty (we hoped!) home-cooked meal for the families with children at Legacy Emmanuel Hospital. Ronald McDonald House Charities does a wonderful job making families feel more comfortable during their sometimes extended stays during their child's treatment. Our job was to fix something warm and fresh that would beat the vending machine/fast food alternatives.

This was our second time there and we made two kinds of lasagna, garden salad, fruit salad, garlic bread, brownies and carrot cake. Plus, Wendy did very special flower arrangements for all the tables. We did hear from one boy who was very excited to have lasagna (he told us it was his favorite) and he was having a hard time choosing between the desserts. We hope a bit of his big smile carried over while he and his family continued on with their struggles. We'll be happy to come back and try a few new dishes soon!
