[quote=Anonymous]1.  Make ahead a lasagna (can freeze or refrigerate). Serve with bread and salad or roasted broccoli.

2. Pick up two rotisserie chickens on the way home. Make some sort of potatoes (roasted, mashed, baked with fixings) and have a big salad. If you want more food, have a baguette and an additional vegetable.

3. Throw a chili together (or make ahead and thaw, or do in the crockpot first thing). Serve with chips or cornbread, guac, and fixings. These can be elaborate and made fresh, or you can buy some shreded cheese and pre-made guac, etc...  Maybe have a meat and meatless version if you have a lot of people.

4. and 5.  I would order Pizza and make salad one night, and I would order Thai or Chinese another night.

If you have salad fixings, a few carbs (potatoes, egg noodles, breads frozen), sandwich fixings, fruits/snacks, and a few kid friendly items on hand (goldfish, mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, string cheese, yogurt), you should be fine. You'll have leftovers, which'll make lunch easy.
