[quote=Anonymous]Yes, on Friday night we have been ordering a single large cheese pizza and a large salad that we all three share. It's been just under $30 with delivery tip.

I think that we could use our grill more often and that would be a nice change.

I currently make all our pasta sauce from scratch in big batches and freeze it so we always have that on hand. I also make chili in big batches and freeze that as well. What other things would be good like this?

The tough part is that I love using the frozen pre-prepared meals I've made during weeknights since we we both work full-time and dinner needs to be ready fairly quickly before toddler meltdowns happen (I definitely don't have the luxury of an hour of cooking from scratch on weeknights - maybe 45 minutes tops). As a result, we haven't been eating the things I've pre-made and frozen during the weekend.

What other things are simple to make but really good? Maybe it's just that my recipe rotation is too narrow and we're bored of it.
