Good for you, and congratulations.

I assume you have a full kitchen, outdoor grill etc.

What do you cook on weekends?

Is it still hot in your area?

How many people are you cooking for?

How about going to the local deli getting an array of sliced meats and
cheeses and have a salad and sandwich buffet ( Do it your self)?
Grilled burgers where people can create their own "perfect burger" also
works.
I don't think there are many who don't like a nice pot roast.
The smell of Italian Gravy ( Pasta/Spaghetti sauce) will cause the salivary
glands to start working.

If the mom is going to be nursing you should spend a few minutes looking up
food NoNo's and YesYes's for nursing moms.

Most important have fun with your immortality and legacy to the world.
