Make-ahead meals

Patricia wanted to know what sort of meals we like preparing in advance. We often make large batches of frozen meals so that we can take them to work or have them as quick, no-fuss dinners. Here are some of our staples:

  • Shake’n Bake chicken: well, really, the generic equivalent of it; baked breadcrumb-style chicken with rice and vegetables
  • Jerk chicken: mostly W-, as it’s too spicy for me
  • Lasagna
  • Chicken curry
  • Tomato sauce for pasta
  • Pesto
  • Rotisserie chicken from the supermarket
  • Roast turkey
  • Soup
  • Rice and beans
  • Baked beans
  • Home-made bagels or biscuits
  • Chicken pot pie or turkey pot pie
  • Shepherd’s pie

What are yours?
