[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lasagna is perfect for this.[/quote]

Can I make that the night before then? And bring it to her cold, and she can refrigerate until 5?[/quote]

DP.  Absolutely.  You could even bake it the night before (you don't have to but you could) and then she can just reheat the next day.  The same with a quiche - bake it the day before and then she can reheat.  I think reheated quiche can be even better than straight-out-of-the-oven myself.  Another option is to prep a whole chicken and put it into a disposable roasting pan so it is ready to go.  But I like the lasagna idea best because it covers all of the food groups.  Add bread and a salad, and she is good to go.[/quote]

Thank you for the reply. Favorite, easy recipe?[/quote]

For lasagna?  Mine is too difficult to be easy or fast.  However, this is the one that I have my girls make when they want a yummy lasagna fast.  It comes from Valerie Bertinelli:

For quiche, I go classic Julia Child.  It is a simple recipe and it is easily adapted to use some pre-made ingredients to make it fast.

Here is how I would do it if I were you:  I would use the Pillsbury pie crust in a deep dish pie pan.  Then make the filling (double it for deep dish) following Julia Child's recipe.  Honestly?  I would use pre-cooked bacon, too.  Just pull it out of the box, stack it and then cut with a sharp knife into 1/2 inch pieces.  Also, I always add cheese, which may be non-traditional.  I shred about 1/2 cup each of gruyere and fontina.  Using the pre-made pie crust and the pre-made bacon, you could have the entire thing prepped in less than 15 minutes.

Here are the steps using the modifications I described: 
*lay crust in dish
*spread the shredded cheese across the bottom of the pie dish on top of the crust
*cut bacon as described above then put on top of the cheese
*pour in the egg mixture as described in the recipe
*dot with butter as described in the recipe
*bake as described

It is literally easy as pie and absolutely delicious:  https://www.food.com/recipe/julia-childs-quiche-lorraine-adapted-419477[/quote]
