[quote=Anonymous]So I am looking for foods that i can cook and freeze in several batches. I would appreciate ideas, esp vegetarian ones.

There is one that i tend to make quite often. I make this pasta sauce and freeze it, then when i need it i just boil ww pasta and add the sauce, both for home or school lunches.

Canned tomato sauce (organic ones from Whole Foods don't taste good to me, so while I am still searching I get Furmanos)
Ground beef 
Onion, chopped small
Veggies (this is because I feel my kids they should eat more green stuff, so I often put in my food processor courgette, celery, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, and make it a paste, sometimes i skip this step)
Olive oil, salt, pepper

So you start with putting 2-3 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet and cook the onion and the veggies if you plan to use them. This should cook slowly for about 20 minutes at least. Then add the ground beef, I usually use a fork to mash it when it starts cooking, so it does not crumble. After 10 minutes approx, you add the tomato and cook for another 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.[/quote]
