Increasing (by blessing) The Food

These are miracles given to prophets Jesus (the table) and Moses (increasing the water) as well:
 
THE STORY OF UMM MA'BAD
 
The Prophet peace be upon him and Abu Bakr on their way to Al-Madina, continued their journey until they reached the solitary tent belonging to a woman called Umm Mabad Al-Khuzaiyah. She was a gracious lady who sat at her tent-door with a mat spread out for anychance traveler that might pass by that way. Fatigued and thirsty, the Prophet peace be upon him and his companion wanted to refreshthemselves with food and some milk. The lady told them that the flock was out in the pasture and the goat standing nearby was almost dry. It was arainless year. The Prophet with her permission touched its udders, reciting over them the Name of Allah and to their greatjoy, there flowed plenty of milk out of them. The Prophet peace be upon him first offered the milk to the lady of the house, and he shared whatwas left with other members of the party. Before he left, he milked the goat again, filled the container and gave it to Umm Mabad. After some timeher husband arrived with thin goats hardly having any milk in their udders and he was astonished to see milk in the house. His wife told him that ablessed man passed by the way and gave details about his physical appearance and the manner of talking. Abu Mabad immediately realized thatthe man was the one Quraish were searching for and asked her to give full description of him and she gave a wonderful account of his physiqueand manners. Abu Mabad, after listening to his wifes account expressed a sincere wish to accompany the Prophet peace be upon himwhenever possible. He reiterated his admiration in verses of a poet that echoed all over Makkah to such an extent that the people therein thought it was a jinn inculcating words in their ears. Asma, daughter of Abu Baker on hearing those lines, got to know that the two companions were headingfor Madinah. The short poem opened with thanking Allah for giving them (the Mabads) the chance to host the Prophet peace be upon him for awhile. It then gave an account of the bliss that would settle in the heart of the Prophets companion whosoever he was. It closed with an invitation tothe whole mankind to come and see by themselves Umm Mabad, her goat 
and the container of milk that would all testify to the truthfulness of theProphet peace be upon him.
 
INCREASING WATER IN TABUK
 
When they drew near Tabuk, the Prophet said: If Allah will, tomorrow you will arrive at the Tabuk spring. You will notget there before daytime. So whoever reaches it should not touch its water; but wait till I come. Muadh said: When we reached the spring therewas some water as usual. We found that two men had already arrived before us. The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him asked them:Have you touched
its water? They replied, Yes. He said what Allah inspired him to say, then he scooped up a little water of that spring. It was athin stream where water gathered. He washed his face and hand with it and poured it back into it; consequently plenty of water spouted out of it so people watered. The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him said Muadh! If you were to live long life you will see in here fields full ofvegetation. Nowadays Tabuks fields are full of vegetation as the Prophet foretold.
