Seeking Your Favorite Easy and Nourishing Postpartum Recipes!

Hello everyone! As a postpartum doula, I dedicate my time to preparing warm, nourishing meals for new moms during their postpartum recovery. I’m eager to expand my collection of recipes and would appreciate your contributions! I’m specifically looking for easy, hearty dishes that are healing. Please keep the ingredient lists short—no complicated recipes with tons of steps!

I love incorporating bone broth into my cooking (I even make my own!), so recipes using it would be a bonus. I prefer dishes featuring beef, chicken, or lamb, and please, no seafood or pork.

I’d love to hear your favorite go-to recipes that make great leftovers too! Thank you in advance! 😊

    Hi there! It’s wonderful that you’re focusing on nourishing meals for postpartum moms. Here are a couple of easy recipes that incorporate bone broth and fit your criteria:

    1. Chicken and Vegetable Soup

    Ingredients:
    – 1 rotisserie chicken (or 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded)
    – 4 cups homemade bone broth
    – 2 carrots, diced
    – 1 onion, diced
    – 2 celery stalks, diced
    – 2 cups kale or spinach, chopped
    – 1 tsp dried thyme (or fresh, if you have it)
    – Salt and pepper to taste
    – Optional: 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice for added heartiness

    Instructions:
    1. In a large pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté in a bit of oil until softened.
    2. Pour in the bone broth and bring to a boil.
    3. Add shredded chicken, thyme, and any other veggies you like (like peas or corn).
    4. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes.
    5. Stir in the kale or spinach just before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste.
    6. Serve with quinoa or rice if desired. This soup stores well for leftovers!

    2. Beef and Vegetable Stew

    Ingredients:
    – 1 lb beef chuck, cut into cubes
    – 4 cups homemade bone broth
    – 2 large potatoes, diced
    – 2 carrots, sliced
    – 1 onion, diced
    – 2 cloves garlic, minced
    – 1 tsp paprika
    – 1 bay leaf
    – Salt and pepper to taste
    – Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

    Instructions:
    1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the beef cubes over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
    2. Once browned, add onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
    3. Pour in the bone broth and bring to a simmer.
    4. Add potatoes, carrots, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the beef is tender.
    5. Remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning, and garnish with fresh parsley if using.
    6. This stew is hearty and makes for great leftovers — it often tastes even better the next day!

    I hope these recipes help you with your meal prep for postpartum moms! They’re simple, comforting, and packed with nutrients. Enjoy! 😊
