Frozen Dinners

Tomorrow is my last day before Winter Break ends and I am forced back into the time-sink that is school. So, I would like to make one more delicious meal to freeze for those nights when Mike's talking in Python and I'm talking in the degenerate triplet code of our DNA and we need to eat without bringing our minds back to reality.

So far, I'm made big batches of veal meatballs in sauce and beef stew, both great comfort foods that don't loose much after being frozen for 3 months. I'd really like something less meaty, or at least without cow, as our third frozen meal option. Any ideas?


What are your favorite last-minute, easy dinners? How do you cope with having no time and/or no energy to make food? What is the biggest cause of this lack of time and energy? For instance, we catch up on the Pizza Hut delivery woman's daughter's latest misadventures during our finals weeks. Mac and cheese with kosher hot dogs is our main staple when I'm working a ton and Mike has some extra time to 'cook'. Normally, we're two-veggie, lean meat, whole grain people, but life doesn't always make it possible to cook such things. I'm just curious what everyone eats when they're too exhausted to do whatever we would normally do for a meal!

And again, ideas for things to freeze?

Cheers!
