Lots of babies are arriving on the scene at my church, which is fantastic news, and a great blessing from God.

I have very little experience with babies, but I have observed that the arrival of a baby makes life much busier and more tiring than it was beforehand.

Food Tidings is 'a place to manage meals for your family and friends in need!'. Food Tidings is free and allows quick and easy creation of schedules for groups of people to cook meals for those in need.

Here's how it works.

1. Sign-up and register for a free account.

2. Click on the link to 'Create a schedule'.

3. Add a name for the schedule, and the dates meals are required:

4. Add details of where and when the cooked meals should be delivered to:

5. Add details of the number of people being cooked for, and any special preferences or requirements:

6. Once the schedule has been created, you can share a link with others that they can click on to 'sign-up' for which meals they would like to cook. Take a look at an example of what this sign-up page looks like.

7. It's easy to see which meals you have agreed to cook, and when you agreed to cook them, along with any schedules you are organising:

8. At any time you can edit the meal schedule, change what you will be cooking, or remove yourself from the schedule.

And of course, a meal roster isn't just useful for a family who have had a baby - people who are sick or injured, or who are grieving the loss of a loved one, might greatly benefit from the receipt of some tasty food.
